Chemeketa 2009 Applicants

YAY!! I'm in! I just got the letter today and somewhat panicked because it was in a "little" (normal-sized) envelope. I made my husband open it for me. LOL I'm going to be in McMinnville's program.

Did either of you get your letters yet? I'm crossing my fingers for you!

Congrats tb_pdx!!

Yeah, I'm already attacking that book list. A previous student told me to plan for around $1000 for books Fall term. I haven't got them all priced yet, but for the most part, they're coming up at least 1/2 off in the new/used section of Amazon. I haven't checked allibris and half.com yet.

Welcome to allnurses, Claudrian! I must admit, it's quite addictive.
We couldn't turn in our acceptance letters until July 6th...and they're due (along with all the vaccines and stuff) by August 3rd. So, yes, after August 3rd, several alternates should be getting "the call." Being #6, it seems like you've got a pretty good chance.
Good luck!

I totally agree - I've got a 2-year-old that I've got to set up child care for, etc...so, I emailed Karen Haury (the Associate Dean's secretary) a couple times with my questions. She's been SO sweet...super helpful. She emailed me a rough-draft of the syllabus for fall term! She said things were still up for changes, but for the most part, it shows what to expect.

We have class on Monday and Wednesday - it's mostly 8-Noonish...but there isn't a really definite end time every day...some days it's like 11:30, others it goes until 3.

Then, we have lab for a few weeks on Thursday and Friday. That was mostly 8-3ish, if I remember right. Then, once we start clinicals, they are 6am (ack!) - 1:45pm both days. (I knew that was coming...but I'm still NOT looking forward to it. I'm so not a morning person.)

Then, there are random Tuesdays that we have to go in for skills checkoffs. Those look like they're just 1/2 hour - 1 hour time blocks...

Hope that helps!

Hey Everyone!

There's been a Facebook group set up for our class...if you search "Chemeketa" on Facebook, it should come up.
The title of the group is: Nursing Students ~ Fall 2009 ~ Chemeketa Community College.

It should be a good way to get to know each other before school starts.
