Wahoo! The first semester is over (last final today), and it was a blast. Very Happy

I ended up with an A for clinicals, an A for Intro to Radiology, and an A for Positioning I. I was running an A in Nursing all semester, but got a B on the final today...I'll find out next week if I get an A there, or dropped to an overall B.

I now have a week off before the summer term starts. I'm moving from a hospital to a clinic for my clinical rotation, so I'll get a lot more experience with scheduled patients as opposed to ER stuff. Should be good for my contrast comps. Smile

I'm really loving this program, I just wish I'd have started earlier. We have Positioning II and Exposure I this summer...I'm really looking forward to the Exposure class.

If you're finishing up a semester, let us know where you're at and how things are going. Take care. Cool

That's great to hear. I'm done with a school year now applying to a program nearby and hoping that I get in the program of 18 students. I did horrible on my ACT exam...I got a 20 but I've gotten all A's on my pre-requisite courses and made the Dean's List with a 3.7 gpa.....I hope this will increase my chances. Anyways, congratulations on the success of your semester.

Hi Kevin,

Just curious, are you going to Valencia CC or Florida hospital or somewhere else?

Kevin,

Yes I live in Orlando and I am attending Valencia CC. I am waiting to hear if I was accepted in either their RT or Ultrasound programs. I should hear something by the middle of June. I have visited Polk CC and it is a nice campus.

Just a head's up...PCC is starting an ultrasound program too now, possibly as early as August. They've already started a respiratory therapy program, and have a cath lab tech program starting in August. The cath lab and ultrasound programs are stand alone 2 year programs, and will also have a 1 year crossover curriculum for current RT's.

Kevin,

Thanks for the info. The ultrasound program at Valencia is very difficult to get into. They only accept 10 students a year. I can always use a plan b.
