Accepted into CCC Nursing Program: Truman College

U.S.A. Illinois

Published

Hi all! I've started this thread for those of us who have gotten the good news and have been accepted to start the nursing program at Truman College in Fall 2012!

If you are still waiting to hear, I would suggest visiting the other thread I started for some helpful information, tips, and support!

Here's what I know so far:

  • There WILL be clinicals in the first semester (6 hours)
  • The classes will be scheduled via a lottery system
  • We should be receiving a letter from Dr. Gurney in the near future that details what our next steps should be!

Please add to this thread if you have any more information or just want to say hi!

I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys and having classes together shortly!

I was at Beck's/Truman today and they told me there is some kind of CCC meeting on Monday to finalize the citywide booklist.

Then we should be able to get books from Beck's and see the final list. I hope there is a follow-up email about books Mon. afternoon.

Hey All - I didn't get an email about the 2 hour lab -- could someone post it here? And also let me know who it was from so I can follow up? Thanks!

So this new book list is the same as the one that we got few weeks ago, it's really not clear which books to buy for the first year.

Anyone knows if we can switch lab skills hours??? I can only go Thursday morning and I got Monday 4 to 530 pm...I have to work until 430... This schedule is afternoon schedule not evening...it's crazy....

What is happening?? Was this skills lab even mentioned before this? And are we expected to go every week? I feel like this is kind of getting out of control with them adding and changing things every day! So frustrated with the whole thing right now!

Skills lab is a basic part of the program. You have to attend and it is a weekly thing and it lasts two semesters.

I'm sorry you guys have specific times to be there - I'm sure they're doing it this way because last year, it was a free for all with sign up. Just be careful if you still need to take Micro or A&PII - they could conflict with lab times.

I haven't posted on here in a while because I start typing and it just turns into a rant. I am beyond irritated with Truman.

So for the skills lab, do we attend any one that fits our schedule once a week only? I am still waiting for my uniforms and for them to send us the updated book list... Sigh @Truman!
