We got into the CLC Nursing program...now what

I got mine today too.
You can check online also to see if you qualify for priority registration. Just go onto the Self-Serv section and there's a link for it.

I can probably make any of the sections work. We'll have to try to coordinate...

I checked my account online and it said "ineligible plan for financial aid" - whatever that means. I rec'd a scholarship for the one Honors Ethics class I'm taking, but the last time I applied for financial aid was a couple of years ago, of which I didn't qualify. Even though CLC told me over the phone that I have no holds, I'm still going to stop by the office tomorrow morning.

Priority Registration is for those currently taking classes at CLC and you get an earlier start than the general public to register. If you are already taking classes and you didn't get a notice, then just make a note of the date when priority registration begins. Oh yeah...make sure you have no holds on your account.

I didn't get that either, but we also moved, so it may be held up in the mail. I do have holds on my account, but only for the FACTS payments. They are usually off by the time registration rolls around. I'll check to make sure they are. Weird that it would say you have holds on your account if you don't. I'm going to check out my self service now on the website.

Mine has that too. Only because I am only taking 1 class that is 3 credit hours and you have to take at least 6 credit hours to qualify. The only reason I am even taking a class this semester is for the priority enrollment...I don't even need this for my degree, but needed it to make sure I get into the class I want!

Hello ladies!! I haven't been on in awhile and lots has been discussed. Thanks for all the info, Ishtart!! Wow, I feel so much better, knowing alittle more about what I'm in for.

I am hoping to get into sec 1 or 2 and I would love to start talking about a study group. It doesn't just have to be students from my class, we could work it, so it works for alot of us-So those of you taking nights would be able to join.

We have been talking about rolling backpacks, I have heard by reading other threads, that having the bood debound and rebound by chapters also works, so you'd just have to bring the chapters you need. Has anyone heard of that, if it works?

I also have started the immunizations, had my physical and I am just looking at the cpr courses now. The American Heart Association, does have them at various places around here, it is called BLS, Basic Life Support, for healthcare providers. I looked but still have to call, but Condell does offer them. Collen(perhaps others) we could take it at the same time, and get to know each other in person. Just a thought.

Thanks again, ladies, for all the info and support.

Hello, Everyone!

I'm looking into Section 004 - anybody else? Anybody else from my neck of the woods? I checked into CLC healthcare provider CPR and the next class (early Dec) was already filled up by last week. Hmmpf...I should've registered for before my letter came in. I called Vista Emergency Services and left a messege on their recording about it and they haven't called me back. Today I called my local fire dept and someone is to call me back, too. In the meantime, I finished most of my lab work (only need CBC, UA and 2 & 3 Hep B).

A friend of mine (2nd semester program) uses a PDA or compact PC. Anyone else thinking of using one or know of anyone who does? You can download info as well as have access to Microsoft Word.

Anyway, we're getting close, ladies...everything is just falling into place!

I changed my appointment for shots to December 6 instead of the end of December because I know you have to go like 2 or 3 times, right? To get everything done? And the Nurse said there will be a TON of new Nursing students trying to get it all done the day of Orientation, so I just told her I want it done before that. So, I should be good if I go then, right???

I am so ready to sign up for my class!!! I am praying there are no issues getting into section 005...I'll take 006 if I have to, but 005 is ideal for me (has to be night).

I want to use a PDA...just trying to figure it all out. How easy is it to load software onto it? And what have you all used? Any help in this department would be great!!!

If we could work out a study group for all of us, that would be awesome, but I know most of you are going through the day (I think I will be the only night student), so don't change things just for me!!!

As far as CPR, I have completed mine, but maybe you can call the Nursing Department and they can give you some ideas of where to go. They can give you the phone number of the company they use at CLC and maybe they can tell you some of the other locations that they teach at.

Your right...it's slowly falling into place now!!! YAY US!!!

According to the nurse at the Health Center, you only need to have started the Hep-B series with one shot before clinicals. I'm going for my 2nd one at the end of Nov. I also chatted with the nurse about the friends I've made here and how she must be seeing them, too. She just chuckled.

I really liked your answer, Lori, about the 3 credits/hold. That makes sense. I went to the Admin/Regist office yesterday and they reassured me that I'd have no problems registering for a class. I asked if they could remove the notification on my account, and they said it couldn't be done. Sure hope this doesn't indicate any more hoops that we gotta jump through.

Thanks, too, Diedra, for the idea of debinding books. I had never heard of that before! I'd love to give it a try. I think I'm gonna venture over to Big Lots in Kenosha soon and see what I can find for a durable rolling backpack. I'll keep you guys posted with what I found and prices.

As for clinical sites, does anyone know where Whitehall North or Westmoreland are located?
