What to expect in Good Samaritan RN Program?

[Lilyanni]

hi! i'm excited to say i will be starting good samaritan rn program next fall. i was wondering if any current rn students or grads could give me a heads up on what to expect, specifically with books, class schedules, clinicals, uniforms, professors, etc., really anything would help. thanks for any info

I got your message Lilyanni. I went in for registration and signed up for BIO2, CHEM1 and 1st Semester Experience. I still don't know if I'll be able to take the NUR100 classes this semester though because apparently there are only 10 openings and many more students than that. I should find out within the next week or so. They said the date you paid your matriculation fee determines who has first dibs at the NUR classes. If not this semester, then next I suppose.

I've just been working on getting everything in order - vaccines, background check, drug tests, ID card made, etc. I'm looking forward to starting there in January. Not looking forward to street parking (not allowed to use the garage) but other than that I think it'll be a good experience.

Good luck to you!

hi sjsa82, i am so glad you replyed for my message. i am so excited for you. i hope you will keep in touch to let me know how chem 1 is going. b/c chemistry is my worst fear of all classes and i have to take both 1 and 2. what is first semester experience? does all students have to take it? did you hear anything about the chem class if it will be hard or if it will be ok from former students? thanks for your reply and i hope you will keep in touch and inform me some things about the school. thanks again!

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if there is a waiting list to start the nursing courses at Good Sam? I thought I heard somewhere that the waitlist was up to 2 years but Im not sure how true that is so I decided to ask here and hopefully someone who has already been accepted to the school knows...
