Anyone else apply to NAU/GCC concurrent program this week?

peterbrasco · Apr 14, 2012

No. Schedule is just for MCC. I think until NUR 330 is completed before one can find out about fall class at NAU.

@Lmarko, i think we would be in same class at MCC. I still have CPR card, Hep B and Health care provider certification to get done. Where did u do ur CPR and did you get your card immediately? My Hep B came back as Non reactive, so i need to get the 1-3 injections.

@CDMZG: Have you been enrolled in NUR 330 yet? That class meets Tu 9 to 1. I wonder when Estrella is going to send their packets? Glendale emailed theirs March 21. Good to start working on the Health and Safety though, because some things take some time (especially if you need MMR -- have to space out the injections 28 days.) I am also enrolled for Fall GCC classes, but not Fall NAU classes. I believe the NAU advisors will enroll us later in the month (Fall registration is not open yet at NAU).

@peterbrasco: we are in the same NUR 330 section; see you there. I got my CPR card through Heartsavers Inc. They offer classes all over the Valley. Took about 3 hours, and yes you get the card at the end of class. Just remember to take the Healthcare Provider class; it will be called BLS for Healthcare Providers (CPR is included in the training).

So here's where I am in terms of preparation: CPR card, Fingerprint card, background check completed. Just had my second TB test read today. Had my first MMR a couple of weeks ago. Had third Hep B shot same day as MMR #1. Got a Tdap, because my original dose was when I was a kid (and I am OLD). Still need to finish up the MMR series, and I need to get a varicella titer. Ordered books for NUR 330. Ordered a stethoscope (I just couldn't wait!). Need scrubs and shoes, but waiting a little longer for that, because I am hoping to lose weight and fit into a smaller size.:bowingpur

jhunold: yes, i am enrolled in the nur330 class for the june start classes. i am still waiting for my packet......the last i heard, they had 2 spots to fill and once those are filled they will begin sending packets. can you please post what your schedule at gcc will be?

peterbrasco: i did my cpr through par cpr. my class also took about 3 hours and i got my card the same day as well. i think the class cost somewhere around $55.00

i have everything done except for my last hep b, which is scheduled for july. i also have to finish up mmr #2, then have mmr titer done. i had all my titers done a few weeks back so i am good on everything (except for the mmr). so now i just await my packet to see my list of books and other things like uniforms, shoes, etc. i sure hope they don't take too long getting us the information for estrella!

I have Hep B. , CPR card, background check, and health care provider signature left to do. I am registered for NUR 330. I don't know about fall classes at MCC.Haven't gotten any info on scrub. Yes I will schedule for CPR. Thanks.

The schedule for GCC CEP is as follows:

Lecture: Mon/Wed 8:00 to 10:30 am

Lab (on campus): Mon/Wed noon to 3:30

Lab (pre-clinical?): Thu 7:00 am to 1:15 pm (first 3 weeks of course only)

Clinical: Thu 6:30 am to 2:00 pm (starting week 4)

We had a choice of 3 clinical sites; the other two for GCC CEP were on Friday instead of Thursday. I picked the site closest to my home.

NAU/SCC CEP student here...Have everything done except for my immunizations (4/30)...Anxious to get started...Enrolled in the 6/4 Nur 330 class...Glad I found this thread...Any other SCC CEP students here?

Kalinda117 · Apr 28, 2012

Hello. I am a NAU/SCC CEP student and enrolled for the 6/4 class. I just wish we could get our schedules ASAP? Have you heard any information because I have asked several times. My first choice was GWCC but I ended up with SCC. The one good thing I heard is because our clinicals will most likely be with Scottsdale Healthcare so that is a convenient thing. I hope that "rumor" is true. Nervous, anxious, and excited all at once!

Kalinda117 · Apr 28, 2012

Well at least GCC has given your times. SCC has no times available yet. ARGH! So did they tell you where your clinicals were? Do you have the information about uniforms and supplies and etc???

ddmad · Apr 28, 2012

Hey dorcas...I'm assuming we're going to find out in late May during our registration sessions...At lease I hope so...I signed up for the 5/23 registration session...And I'm with you about nervous, anxious and excited...

ddmad · Apr 29, 2012

Anyone else buying the books for the NUR 330 class this summer I got both the textbooks on half.com for about $75...Seems like a lot for two little paperbacks...

jhunold · May 1, 2012

@dorcas: yes we were given 3 clinical sites to choose from (limit 10 students per site), at registration. Registration for GCC Fall semester opened on April 16. The 3 choices were Glencroft, Banner Good Sam rehab, and VA Center rehab. It was first come first serve in terms of getting your first choice clinical site. We were able to register by calling the enrollment center.

There was brief mention of uniforms and supplies in the email packet, with promises that we would be provided with more information at the July Orientation session, and I believe we will have opportunities to order most of these supplies at Orientation (but of course that means you won't have a choice of vendors if you wait until then). It also says we can order uniforms at the GCC bookstore. I know we need white shoes, and a stethoscope, and there's mention of a "nursing supply tote bag" that is required. We were given an expected program cost table and that d@#&^ tote bag is priced at $130!!! As for uniforms, I believe all of MCCCD uses the same uniform, and the supplier is Apparel Pro.

That my be one heck of a tote bag! Does it do our homework for us when we put books in the bag? Typical university pricing...
