  1. CCAC Nursing Program and Admission Changes

    Yes, I think so. It could, though, just encourage people to study harder. Hopefully that's what it will do.
  2. CCAC Nursing Program and Admission Changes

    Making it mandatory to pass ATI and changing the passing grade to 78% really weeds people out. They don't have much sympathy.
  3. And if you do get it all situated... let us know! I'm graduating in a week and already applied for my temporary license. I would love to work at a camp! :)
  4. Where to start a carrer change to nursing-Pittsburgh

    I recommend a diploma program like St. Margaret's. You can take pre-req's/co-req's at CCAC before you start in order to have a leg up, but I do NOT recommend CCAC's nursing program. I am finishing it up in a week and it is so unorganized and frustrat...
  5. I am about to graduate in May from CCAC. I would recommend getting all your prerequisites there. They are very cheap and will transfer anywhere. As for the actual nursing program, CCAC is okay. You already have a degree so you might look into a diplo...
  6. Special needs and cerebral palsy

    Wow! All of your posts were extremely helpful and offered information about positions I didn't know existed. Thank you so much! I am definitely interested in early intervention, but I wasn't sure what I could do with that in nursing. I live in Pittsb...
  7. Hello everyone! I am in nursing school and will be graduating in May. I plan to specialize in pediatrics or psychiatric peds. I have spent much of my career prior to nursing working with special needs, particularly cerebral palsy. I was wondering if ...
  8. CCAC Spring 2013 hopefuls!

    Congratulations everyone!! I am in 202 right now (not sure what that means in the new curriculum, but I am in my second year), and I just wanted to let you know that although CCAC is unorganized and at times it will seem like you have no idea what's ...
  9. CCAC Fall 2012 Applicants

    Hi all, don't worry too much about the books. I'm starting my second year in August, and I barely cracked open my books the first year. I'm glad I have them, though, for when I needed them. Orientation should be soon, and you'll get the right list th...
  10. CCAC Fall 2012 Applicants

    I know people who work 3 12s and are fine. (Keep in mind this is my program. I think they are restructuring things.) The second year is the difficult one since you have clinical two days a week. I know some people who have no choice but to work M-F a...
  11. CCAC Fall 2012 Applicants

    I am finishing up 102 evening/weekend. I work 40 hours and have been able to keep good grades. There are a lot of us in this situation in the evening/weekend program. Don't fret! You will get tired and have no life sometimes, but it's all right. Take...
  12. CCAC - Evening/Weekend

    Yes, for the second year you are able to choose whether you want Th/Fri or Sat/Sun clinicals. The director of the program seems to be giving everyone their preference. They do their best to give you what you want.
  13. CCAC - Evening/Weekend

    I am in Allegheny evening/weekend program right now. Here's what our schedule has looked like so far. (I'm finishing up my first year) 101 Lecture - Tues 5:30-8:00 Lab - Wed 5:00-9:00 Clinical - Wed 3-11 or Sat 7-3 102 Lecture - T 5:00-7:...
  14. I'm so agitated right now! Mostly a vent.

    Welcome to CCAC. I just started 102 and this behavior seems to be very typical of them. I do feel we are learning a lot and being prepared for the profession, but they are extremely unorganized. I had a similar problem with my high school transcripts...
  15. CCAC 202?

    Where did you see the grades posted?
