Your first semester of nursing school is finally here. It is something that you have been working hard to achieve as you have taken your prerequisites. The Nursing I faculty and I want to welcome you to the school and our course. You may be feeling a little fear mixed with excitement, and these are normal feelings. In a few short weeks, these feelings will be forgotten as you are challenged to learn new material. In two short years, you will join professional nurses across the country in a profession that is challenging and respected world-wide. School orientation is July 30, 2015 at 8:30AM at Charity School of Nursing. Registration is on the first floor, and you must sign in. Please note that school orientation and course are mandatory. You may be dropped from the course if you do not attend. The course begins on August 18, 2015 for all Level I students at 7:30AM.
