SPC Spring 2019

My brother is a CNA with baycare now, he loves it. He's about to finish level 4 in the EAYL program. For every two years you are a CNA they give you a pay increase when you become an RN. So your experience will help you out. I wish I could, I've been working two jobs and going to school. So tutoring at the moment is out if the question. I've been saving money for this, so hopefully I get in with my 3.7.

I'm betting I'll see you at Orientation on 11/15. What's your name?

Corey, my fingers are crossed. My finance and economics classes are boring the hell out of me. Can't wait to take some health science classes again.

Oh my god-me too!!! American Literature and Americans Government are doing me in! I'm reading the Saunders Comprehensive NCLEX Review book for fun!

Lol, American government was pretty bad. My professor made us write a letter to Congress for a final paper. Is it helpful?

BEYOND helpful! I also watch tons of nursing school videos on YouTube that go along with whatever topic I'm reading about in that book. I learned all these great test taking strategies and am basically teaching myself fundamentals to prepare for level one. I hardly ever miss any of the NCLEX practice questions at the end of each section. I already learned lab values, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, solving arterial blood gas problems, and dimensional analysis! Keeps me sane in this super boring "science-free" semester! I did the same thing with A & P and Micro, minus the practice questions

I did the same for A&P and micro too. I'm definitely going to have to hop on that. I have the fundamentals book, I just don't want to start reading and that chapter isn't covered until the last week of the semester.

Just rambling over here, but I REALLY hope I get accepted. I am counting down the days...My name is Laura by the way

I really hope you do too Laura! I'm starting to get antsy! Even feeling pretty good about my prospects, I won't feel right until I KNOW! Fingers crossed!

I had previously received my BA in Psychology and decided to give nursing a try. I had no previous experience in the field and although the skills were hard to learn (perform skills that were checked off on a sheet by instructor on mannequin, beds, etc using equipment from skills kit bag) because it was brand new to me, and the academic work was A LOT, I still held a good grade. I just did not know what I was getting into until I was actually hands on in the clinical site and decided I wanted to pursue psychology more than nursing. There's a lot to this program, it's very mentally tough, they're not kidding about that ! Most people had to be working on homework, papers, projects, practicing, or studying every day. Y'all got this though! Once you have a clinical group it's good to be close to them they will be your support system for sure. Once I got hands on it got to be too much for me but most people stay and love it. Also NEVER give up without giving it a fair chance. You could just have a bad day. The program is really great. The instructors really care and want you to do well. Good luck ������

Is the clipboard required ?

No but it's very useful bc fits in scrub pocket and it folds in half and holds the papers you will fill out, gives you something solid to write on etc during Clincial days.

I was actually thinking of getting one of those clipboards! I would be surprised if it was required, though. I'd be interested in buying the books from you, Holly, once I get notice of acceptance and a shopping list. :)

We're definitely not the same scrub size though haha

Ok just let me know when you get in if you could somehow send me your name privately idk it that's possible on here and I could message you through Facebook. Really want to sell them to someone who really needs the books and is worried about finances, but I will be selling them half price as much as I wish I could give them away for free. Thank you !
