Clackamas Community College Fall Cohort!

U.S.A. Oregon

Published

Hello Everyone!

I just found out that I got accepted at Clackamas Community College for the nursing program this fall! I thought I would start a topic group for all of us, so that we can get to know eachother. I am so excited. I feel that I have worked so hard to get here, and the door was finally opened!

A little about me: I am 30, 31 in 2 weeks. I have worked for Providence for almost 7 years, in all different areas, but currently a supervisor in the billing office. I want to go into hospice nursing, at least right now.

I can't wait for orientation next month!

I was having a little difficulty before, but yesterday I received my award letter and have everything cleared up now... very relieved!

I hope I get mine soon! I'm getting worried about buying all of the books. Does anyone remember the name of the scrub store that gives us a discount??

I submitted my last document on July 1st and received my letter on Friday... not sure if that helps with the timeframe. And as far as scrubs go, I was told there was one near the intersection of the main campus that gives a discount to CCC students, although I don't recall such a place myself. I ended up going to NW Scrubs, but they unfortunately aren't gentle with their prices. Don't forget, sometimes ordering can take 2-3 weeks.

You can't just buy scrubs off the shelves?

You can get it right off the shelf if there is plenty available, but some of the popular brands can run low. I am waiting on an order myself.

Whew! You scared me for a minute! I went into a scrub store very quickly about 3 months ago but had to leave, so I never tried them on etc. that is the only thing I have procrastinated on. I plan on going today.

Hello All!!!

I just saw that this was created for our graduating class of 2015!!! I guess I am a little late on joining! But I guess it's better late than never ;) After reading these comments, I am shocked at how amazing our class seems!!! WOW!! Everyone is so supportive and kind, it just eases the pre-jitter nerves I have! I bought all of my books from CCC, and thankfully got free scrubs from --------------------!!! Is everyone excited about the first day party? Also, I was never contacted by my 2nd year buddy am I the only one?

Welcome to the group. Yes, I def think the majority of us are nervous, lol, but also pretty excited! I am very much looking forward to Monday... which, BTW, is the day most ppl will speak with their mentors for the first time. Can't believe it's only 6 days away... pretty pumped!!

Thanks for the clarification ;))) I thought I would mention something for everyone!!! I asked the teacher what kind of Drug Book we should get. She mentioned that many students love "The Davis's Drug Book" This can be put on an Iphone as an app! This way instead of bringing a HUGE drug book to school, you have it all on your phone ;)

Thanks for the info... I'm going to look into that as well!

I almost forgot to sew a CCC Nursing patch onto my lab coat... does it go on the left sleeve as well?
