This thread is for those of us that are starting Nursing School in Spring 2009 that will be graduating in December 2010! Now that we're not Pre-Nursing Students anymore, let's get it started:
Where are you attending:
When does your program start:

What is your 1st semester schedule:
How are you preparing yourself and/or family:

And whatever else we want to post in this thread to help us all along our way. My hope is that we will laugh, cry, and be real with each other as we support each other in this triumphant time (as we did in our Spring 2009 Hopefuls thread because waiting for that little letter was something serious :chuckle).

BSN at Chicago State University. 3rd of 5 semester starting Jan 20th. Don't work, stay at home student/mom. Praying that I can get through without having to repeat anything. It's going to be a tough road.
Where are you attending: Prince Georges CC (Maryland)
When does your program start:January 22 (gulp)
When are your orientation(s):January 15th
What is your 1st semester schedule: Nursing 1020- One 7 credit class. Lecture, lab and clinical hours all in one. I have all my ASN co-reqs completed, and many more of my BSN (bridge program) done as well, so I am concentrating only on this first class.
How are you preparing yourself and/or family: Refreshing my assesment skills (I have my EMT but haven't used it in years), my math skills (yay for the math links page!) and going over the basics of each organ system.
Will you be working fulltime/parttime/not at all: Not at all- paid anyway. I'm a first time mom and had my daughter in September, so I call that full-time work. DH is a fire fighter so we are trying to make sure we have coverage if he is not relieved in time after his 24 hour shift for me to get out of the house and to school and clinicals on time.He is ready for this and has supported me every step of the way, so I know whatever I need he'll be there. Thank god I have him to help me though- single parents, I don't know how you do it.
I just got my letter today. I was supposed to start this past fall, but I got a medical defferment to have my daughter- classes started 3 weeks after my due date - no excuses for missing clinicals soooo..... But I hadn't gotten my letter confirming I was in this class allowing me to register and have been freaking out. I am so excited, but now scared too.
hi! my name is coley and i was wondering if i could post here also? i actually started my program in august of 2008 and will finish in may of 2010. so i may be a semester off from everyone else but still apart of the 2010 club either way i hope. :loveya:
because waiting for that little letter was something serious :chuckle).
