Hi everyone!
I haven't found a topic for Fall 2024 for St. John's River ASN admissions. I know that the application doesn't open until May 1, but I wanted to get this topic started for anyone who was going to apply! Good luck!

The link didn't open up! What's the name of the group?
Hi! For those that started this fall, can you tell me about you prepared (were prepared) for the first day of classes? Is there an orientation or anything? I have so many questions - I was accepted for Spring 2025 at the OPC. What are the schedules like? What are the uniform requirements? How are you liking it so far?
Thanks for the help yall!

Hi JuliannaB!
First, Congratulations!!
In a few weeks you'll going to get a Canvas invite to the orientation and boot camp "class" from the instructor. (They need to fill all of the seats first.) Everything you need is in there. I'll warn you, it's A LOT of information, but take it one step at a time and breathe.
Start saving money now, unless you have financial aid, scholarships, grants, etc. (If you don't, start applying for those) Between books, uniforms, background check items, etc., it adds up quickly. All of that information will be in that Canvas class, what to do, what to buy, and where to buy.
You can go into class registration and click browse and you will find the schedule. As of now it is Tues, Weds, and Thurs, but it could change next semester. In addition to class, you'll have 5 days of clinicals. We start ours this week.
It's a lot of information and critical thinking; you need to start thinking like a nurse and what you would do if confronted with "xyz" situation. It isn't anything like the classes you've taken before, but it's definitely doable.
Be prepared to spend (all of) your time studying once in the program, so enjoy the next few months of "free time" 🙂
I'd also suggest starting a thread like this one to find others that will be in your cohort, then a Facebook group or something. You're going to be BFFs with them for the next 18 months starting in January.
