Hey everyone! Just thought I'd start this thread for the upcoming Spring semester since no one else has:) I applied back in May and need one prerequisite which I'm taking in the Fall. Here's to good news guys, and good luck to all!
For anybody who may be interested, I emailed the program asking them how clinical rotations are being affected by COVID. This was their response: "This fall we are scheduled for 240 hours of the 300 hour preceptorship to be direct patient care. I believe that is 80%. The Alabama Board of Nursing has been issuing guidelines each semester that allow flexibility if a situation changes with clinical partnerships." They said the hours that are not in-person are done in simulation labs.
That's good news considering many schools are forgoing direct patient care rotations altogether in favor of sim labs. Does anybody know if classes are currently being held in person or online? I feel like I recall somebody saying that the campus is still open and classes are still being held in person..

It’s more so a hybrid situation for them right now. Some(most) online via zoom. Some in class and then clinical of course

Yes it definitely flew! I’m nervous but excited.
& from my friends that are in, they should send emails out maybe in 2-3 weeks informing us to “save the dates” and soon after that be notified of our interview dates.
