Suffolk Community College Ammerman Evening

Published

Hi all,

I am starting Nursing school on Sept 8 and am already anxious! I just got a letter with my first reading assignments, I am still working on getting all of the books. I have a huge list of 'should haves' or 'optionals' and would like an opinion on what to buy from that list, or will they let me know that in class? I am so crazy, the only thing I have ordered is my name tag.

I work full time at Stonybrook Hosp, and have a husband and 2 kids, the only thing I heard from orientation is dont work full time, I dont have a choice :( . My family is CRAZY supportive, but I am hoping that will be enough. I am already feeling as if I am in over my head and class hasn't even started. I have a decent schedule (I think), I am a certified medical assistant and phlebotomist so I am hoping this gives me a bit of an edge.. but not sure... I worked full time and went to school full time for 2 yrs at night to obtain my associates.. I wasnt sure what I wanted to go for, and I just am kickin myself for not going for the core classes and applying much earlier.. it is what it is... but I need a little bit of a cheerleading section here... Any advice would be so apprreciated, and am I being realistic in thinking that I can do this while working full time. So far I have class on Mon, clinicals on Tuesdays right after I get out of work until 11:00pm and lecture again on Wed. I am nervous and feel so lost.. and broke up until thiss point :banghead:. I have been blessed to have been giving aid to get through the school portion, but I dont know how long that will last eithher. Stonybrook only pays for 4 credits per semester. The good thing is, all I have to take is my nursing classes, everything else is done. So I figure that gives me a free day that I donthave to take the other 3 credit courses... I graduated with a 3.9 and had a 4.0 in pre reqs.. My only regret is that I can't do the day program and it is going to take me 3yrs instead of 2yrs....I didnt evenrealize the evening one was part time until orientation... I was hoping to speed it up seeing as all my other courses are done, but I guess it doesn't work that way..... I am having anxiety over the books, the uniform, the shoes.. (which they said we were able to wear white snealkers for thefirst time

) but the mail they ssent home says otherwise...

HELP......:confused:

much appreciated

Hello! And glad to meet ya! Just accepted! Good for you! They dont give you much time huh.. altho, I am guilty of not having everything together yet... Orientation was not a big deal, you didnt miss too much. They did hand out the list of books, and the uniform code... but thats about it... I don't feel much more confident having gone to the orientation so you didnt miss anything in that way... I have been at Suffolk for 2 yrs (finished my associates last december), but I still feel as if I will be going for the first time ever!! Nervous, the whole bit. Anything you need... let me know... as I said I am still in the process of getting books, uniforms...etc. The only thing I did get was the name tag and that i bought off Ebay cuz it was under 8 bux... I think they said it was 20 at the uniform store... heheh.... The books tho, I have been looking and can't find them for much cheaper then the new ones at the bookstore, and the uniforms... I have been looking at different online places like Lydias, and other places to get cheaper sscrubs....

Good luck to you!!!

Good to know that I didn't miss anything. I am working on getting my shots and I just took my CPR class on Saturday. They did not give me enough time to get everything done before class starts. I am also in the Mon, Tue, Wed class.

Your not alone I am just as nervous as you I haven't been getting any sleep since I was accepted into the program. I think it will get better once class starts.

I hope!

FYI-Try overstock.com for the books.
