Who else is starting clinicals in the winter?

Published

Specializes in PeriOp, ICU, PICU, NICU.

Since there is a thread going for fall starters, I thought we could start one for the winter starters. Are there any out there.

I will be starting in January 06 :cheers:

I should be starting in January too. I can hardly wait. By the way, what part of new england are you from. I was born and raised in mass, but I'm living in Texas right now:o

Good for you. I'd super excited too. Congratulations

Hi Jessica! Great idea...I was beginning to think I was the only Jan '06 starter here.

I was actually wait-listed at first. I just got my acceptance 2 weeks ago. I rushed right over to the school to pay my matriculation fee before they could change their minds or tell me there was a mistake, lol!

I am SO excited but terrified of all the "unknowns"!

Best of luck to you!!! :balloons:

Nope, seems like there are quite a few. Congratulations by the way. Did they tell you what you need to buy? I need to get a hold of the list myself to prepare early (you know money is tight :) )

No word yet on what I need to get. Orientation is in September so I assume all the details will be addressed then. I will have a million questions by then!

Specializes in new mother/baby nurse.

I start in January also, here in Virginia!!

Specializes in Operating Room.

I'll find out in mid-late October if I start in January. (FINGERS CROSSED!!)

Good luck to you all!

Hi fun2care,

Me too I input the application, but they pretty much tell you if you are in or not at my school. They said that there is a 99.9% chance unless everyone else does better. I refuse to think otherwise, and will remain confident :p

I will be starting my clinicals in Jan. Originally my letter told me I would start the program in Jan. but I was able to register for two nursing classes this August. I still have some prerequisite courses to complete. I had considered putting off going in the fall and go in the winter, so I could finish the prerequisite classes but we don't have a summer semester and I would like to apply for a nurse tech position after the first semester of clinicals which would be the summer.
