Hi. I am new to this website - I just registered today.
I am starting the nursing program at St. Charles Community College this Fall semester. I have read over the program information for both the lab and lecture and it looks pretty intense, especially the lab.
I see that a lot of outside practice is required for the labs. If anyone is interested in being a partner with me for the sake of practicing their labs, please let me know.
My class schedule is as follows:
Monday and Wednesday Lecture: 8 to 9:50am
Tuesday Lab: 2 to 4pm
Thursday and Friday clinicals starting at 7am until noon
I am not employed so I am pretty open.
I would love to make new friends for school. Let me know if anyone is interested in getting in touch - especially if we have the same class/lab schedules.
hi..yea I'm going to take "tools for success" this summer as well. I plan on taking lab and lecture in afternoon/evening hours and clinicals day time to mix it up a little....
I was looking at the schedule online and I'm not sure how i'll be able to work 40 hours with the mixture of times. This is definitely going to be tough for me. But I'm so excited. I can't wait!
Hi everybody I'm new to this website! I got my acceptance letter for the fall of 2011 RN program. So I am excited and completely nervous all at the same time! Congrats to you all for getting in, it seems like we have had a long road already, but I know there is ALOT more ahead. What are your schedules like for this semester, mine so far is M 4-5:50..T 12-1:50, 4-5:50, off Wed and Thurs and Fri 7am-12 clinical, but who knows what else will be added as we go along..I know paramedical girl:o but I am looking foward to meeting more people as we continue this..

Hey! will be at orientation next Thursday, the 5th too. Thanks for the congrats, nice to see some fellow classmates here before everything actually begins!
I just have a question for all of the SCCC Nursing students. What were the requirements to be put on the waitlist? I know at STLCC you have to have Chemistry, Biology done before you can apply and be waitlisted. Is this the same for St. Charles?

You should apply for the program as soon as you can. There's an app. fee of $25 (as of Dec. 2009 which is when I applied). As far I know, you don't have to have any of the science courses out of the way before you can apply and be put on the waitlist. If you are still in need of all your pre-requisites, just make sure that for the following year in which you wish to apply for the nursing program, so now (for Fall 2012) it is important you have those general eds finished by the time you enter.
Note: It is always best to talk to the Nursing adviser/counselor. They can lead you in the right direction about all of that.

In addition to what I just wrote, I have heard that StlCC is very competitive with entrance, and they may be a little more stringent in what they expect ahead of time. :)
If you would be interested in applying at SCCC, it would definitely be a great decision; I have heard from so many about how SCCC puts out some of the top nurses out there.
So I am excited and completely nervous all at the same time! Congrats to you all for getting in, it seems like we have had a long road already, but I know there is ALOT more ahead. What are your schedules like for this semester, mine so far is M 4-5:50..T 12-1:50, 4-5:50, off Wed and Thurs and Fri 7am-12 clinical, but who knows what else will be added as we go along..I know paramedical girl:o but I am looking foward to meeting more people as we continue this..
