STCC Nursing Fall 2009

Hi everyone,


I emailed about my parking permit back in May and nothing either. I think I'm going to call tomorrow and see if I find any success with calling them. Yesterday I received an e-mailed about the grant passing for the smartphones. I'm glad I didn't buy anything yet, cause I was sure tempted. They wanted to know what service I have, which is T-mobile and if I am able to access the blackboard. I have already responded to that email as well. F.Y.I.....I've been using the same I.D for the last two years. When I go sign a book out at the library at STCC and my I.D is expired they just put a new bar code for the new semester. So if you just need to update your I.D you should be about to go to the library whenever they are open.

If for some reason I can't finish a summer class (prerequisite to the nursing program, and I start in September), what are my options? Can I take it again during the fall or next summer, or is that not an option?

Which class is it? If you go onto the stcc nursing webpage it lists each course that is required and you have to complete it before the semester you are in. For example, there are a few people in my class (class of 2010) that needed to take micro over the summer because it is listed in the third semester. I think that the first semester classes are english, psych, A&P1, not sure of the rest but I would suggest if it is a class that you have to take by semester 2 (spring) that you do everything you can to finish it this summer because you do not want to have to worry about taking another class in addition to the nursing program. I took a 3 credit honors course in the spring and I would not recommend it at all! Hope this helps!

It's A & P II. It's looking like I'll finish it, but I'm a bit stressed over it. Thanks for the help.

Do your best to get a C+ you definetly will not want to take that in the spring semester and unfortunetly they don't make exceptions to the rule, plus with the clinical being on random days its really tough to take a course outside of the program because they usually meet on tues/thurs or MWF and lecture is on Thursday...so that leaves the night classes which kind of makes for a long day. STCC has summer tutors, honestly look into it if you think you might not make it. Try to stay positive and good luck! I took A&P 1 over the summer (with 2 other classes) and it was not a walk in the park I will tell you that.

Thank you for the advice, tero. I'm definitely looking into extra help. Wish me luck!

i haven't received anything about the grant for the phone...hmmm

info on pda's and id's are on the first thread of this page.

The professors send all emails through blackboard, so if you do not have a blackboard account, the emails got to your stcc student email. As soon as you can, you should go to blackboard and update your profile. Put in your home email and phone numbers. Another thing that you should do if you haven't is set up your stcc email address to forward all email to your home email. You wont want to miss anything because sometimes they wont mention something in class and they aren't going to go hunting for your email. Also, if there is a holiday or change in the schedule on the college calendar (like a Tuesday that says the college follows a Monday schedule) make sure to verify with the nursing dept if it affects you because they don't go by the normal college calendar.
