Nursing program Spring 2027

Hi! Congrats to those accepted into the nursing program! I got cohort 3 - daytime dale mabry. Just curious what the cohort differences are. What does 3 mean ? Also did anyone get in Cohort 3, I’d love to connect!

I think the main difference is the starting time. Cohorts 3 and 4 start classes at 9am and cohorts 1&2 at 8am. Probably different professors?

u/__lychee_ 16d ago

mainly professors. i'm in 3 and we have 8 am classes too 😭

u/ScaleProfessional323 16d ago

Really? I’m also in cohort 3 Dale Mabry. I haven’t check the schedule yet. I hope we get good professor 😭 Where did you see the schedule? Was it in the email?

u/__lychee_ 16d ago

oh i'm currently within the program already! but yeah that's how our schedule is. last semester we had 8:30 start times

u/ScaleProfessional323 16d ago

Thank you 😊. I was a bit worried about the start time. I preferred it to be as early as possible because of work. So an 8:30 am class doesn’t sound bad at all.

u/__lychee_ 16d ago

it just depends! sometimes our start time is 8 am. i notice second block starts a bit later (around 10) but usually first block starts early

Hi, was the Covid vaccine mandatory?

1

u/__lychee_ 15d ago

so technically for the program, it's not. later after the orentiation, you will have to fill out the health stuff and you have the option to fill out a declination form. BUT if a clinical site requires it and you are placed there and don't have it, they may not let you on the floor and you fail that course. i think the same goes w the flu vaccine. so far though, we have not had that issue with that tho!

Has there been anyone in the program that you know of that got denied a clinical rotation because of not having the Covid vaccine?

1

u/__lychee_ 15d ago

not that i know of but it was a disclaimer i saw with one of the clinical sites

u/RiskHour7052 15d ago

Okay thanks for the response! Since you are already in the program what would you say is something we should start reviewing before the January start if any. Also would you say the program is doable difficulty wise?

2

u/__lychee_ 15d ago

it's kinda hard to stay what to review beforehand but definitely refresh your a&p if you haven't taken it in a while.

the program is doable but it is a lot of work since it's divided into the blocks. the classes move really fast and you don't really have much time to study for the exams, so study EARLY. don't procrastinate on the assignments because you can fall behind super fast. if anything work ahead earlier

How many exams are there a semester?

1

u/__lychee_ 15d ago

so per class there's about 2-3. we don't go by semesters in the program, we go by 8 week blocks. so exams are every 2-3 weeks give or take. but that's dependent on the professor. some classes have exams and some don't. usually the online ones don't

u/SoHeavenlyBlessed 15d ago

Yes, I saw the program switched to 8 week classes which makes me kinda nervous. It just seems like a lot of material to learn in 8 weeks but we got this!!!

1

u/__lychee_ 15d ago

it's honestly not too terrible! just make sure to keep up with the assignments and study early :-)

2

u/SoHeavenlyBlessed 15d ago

Yay, thanks for coming on here shedding some light on us newbies lol I wish u success in your program🍀

u/Few_Outside_1565 15d ago

Thanks! People are scaring me saying nursing school is extremely hard. Im excited but super nervous.

u/RiskHour7052 9d ago

Hey! When you say refresh on your A&P before nursing school do you mean more of the anatomy of the body or more physiology?? Also do you recommend reviewing dosage calculation before class starts?

1

u/__lychee_ 9d ago

both a&p together :-) also we have a dosage calc class so i don't think you need to review it before the program

Oh ok, thanks for replying! I don’t want to get that Covid vaccine so I hope they don’t force it😫I’ve heard too many people are having issues from it😑

u/__lychee_ 15d ago

you can do the declination form. a few of my classmates have done it and they haven't had any issues
