Who is waiting to hear from Oakland Community College about acceptance into the 2009 ADN program (either accelerated if it's offered or traditional)? I hope we find out before the date listed on the website (March 15)....which would mean we would have to get something in the mail by Saturday, 3/14!

I am trying to get as much of my June 13th wedding planned as possible, in case I get accepted into the accelerated program! :)

logique-I don't think that it would be certified. Are you already studying? What are u studying? Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

Thank you! I am very excited! :)

I took a Patient Care Tech class in Jan/Feb of this year. I learned how to make beds (occupied and unoccupied), measure i/o's, transfer patients, position patients, feed patients, take vitals (still not very good with bp!!), bed baths, peri care, and a lot of other basic patient care skills we will be learning in Foundations! I also had 2 weeks of clinical time on a hospital floor - about 50 hours with the class. The class was a great head start! I will also be learning how to do BGM in my PCT orientation in a week. I haven't really studied anything else - I want to buy the Fluids & Electrolytes Made Easy (I forgot the exact title of the book) that is recommended on the boards. Have you been looking over any material?

Congrats on getting married!! I was planning on getting the fluid and electrolyte book too! I worked as a Patient Care Associate at POH for about a year, so I have learned most of the things that you did in that class. I have the NCLEX Review Incredibly Easy book. I have not looked at it much, but I plan to use it once in the program to help with practice questions. Lately, I have been studying in my "Barron's Nursing School Entrance Exams" book to refresh on Math, English, and Science skills before taking the NET.

:nurse: soooo excited to start this journey!

I currently work as a nursing assistant at a hospital and i've been there for almost 2 years. I am very blessed to have this job since it is going to be easier for me once we start doing clinicals. I even work with OU, OCC, Baker and U of DM nursing students while they do clinicals on my floor. I am so excited to start in the fall! yay!
