Info about Calhoun Comm College Fall 2009

What's on that curriculum is all we have to take. I didn't need history or lit for my x-ray degree, but you will need them if you plan on finishing up your BSN at another school like UAH.

I'll have to look. I just noticed that when I went to the Nursing page, there are now buttons for the Freshman & Sophomore student to do background & drug screen info. That's new. I wonder if they are getting ready to announce the results early.

I was just looking at the estimated fees & stuff:

Textbooks (Nursing) .................................................. .....$700.00
Uniforms & Supplies .................................................. ......175.00
Malpractice Insurance (per year) ........................................25.00
Drug Testing .................................................. .....................45.00
Nurse Pacs .................................................. ......................75.00
Total Testing ...............................................80. 00 each semester
Graduation Pictures .................................................. ..........35.00
National Council Licensure Examination ..........................200.00
Licensing Fee............................................... .......................85.00
Alabama Temporary Licensing Fee (Optional) ....................50.00
Graduation Fees.............................................. ....................35.00
CPR .................................................. ..................................35.00
Health Exams, PPD, and Immunizations (Cost Varies)
Tuition (See General Information Section in this Catalog)
Background testing .................................................. ..........60.00

You would think Drug & Background testing would be a part of the application process to weed out bad people. My CPR cert is good until 2010, so I don't have to worry about that right now. I've had the Hep B shots and I'm immune to that, I'll just have to have titers drawn to prove it and Rubella also. I've had a PPD in the last year, but I'm sure they'll want me to spend money on an "newer" one.

UGHHHH!!!!!! I've so planned everything out?!(for IF i get in this fall of course) They don't need to change it!! this is so depressing.

do you think we will hear something before June?

I really don't know when we'll hear something. I thought it was kinda odd that they went ahead & put the drug/background check buttons on the homepage, but I could just be jumping the gun.

I'm taking a History this summer because I needed the hours. If I get in & survive Calhoun, I'll probably finish up my BSN through UAH's online program which requires it.

Yeah that is weird. So we don't have to do it until we know for sure, right?

I took His 201/202 from Calhoun through my high school. I honestly hated it, but I have never found history interesting! I loved my teacher as a person, she was awesome, but as a teacher...eh.. Who will you have??

I figure it wouldn't hurt anything for me to go ahead & take it. I've completed all the other pre-reqs because I needed them for x-ray. I have ******* for 201.

I hate history, I'm much more a science girl. But my hubby is a history buff so he said he's help me.

haha well that's nice of him!

i'm doing it the hard way...i will be taking all the other classes along with the nursing classes. I have english out of the way and this summer i'm taking A&PI and MTH112. how were those classes??
