    Yeah, I'm nervous about taking Anatomy with Nursing but because of the residency requirement I have no choice

    Are any of you planning to work while in school? I'm quitting my job before the semester starts, and I'm just wondering what you all are planning to do about work.

    I'm trying to find a job as I write lol ... Just something small so I can save up for extra expenses and what not . I would work during school but the only time I would be available is on the weekend and idk what job will hire me under those conditions ... I don't see how anyone could work , it would be to close to overkill but than again some can do it ...

    Congrats everyone on making it in! I'm looking forward to meeting you all at orientation in a couple of weeks.

    Maybe you can help me with what I'm sure is going to end up being a really silly question when I look back on it. I'm in the process of taking care of my background checks and I'm not sure what to put for the reason on the PA State Police check. The FBI and PA Child Abuse were easy, since those were both clearly spelled out/in the same education vein, but there are a few options to go with on this one.

    I know I can ask someone at CCP on Monday, but I thought this might be a faster way to find an answer. Thanks!

    I'm most likely not going to be working but depending on the cost of school and daycare for my kids, that will determine whether I get a part-time job or not. I was thinking of just taking about a student loan to pay for my bills while I'm in school since it would be much easier to then focus on just school but we shall see I guess. If I do get a job it would probably be weekends waitressing/bartending or something just to have some cash in my pocket. It sucks though cause that would take away from study/homework time.
    Do you know who you have for Anatomy? I'm taking 110 in the second summer session to get it out of the way and Nutrition in the 1st..I'm trying to keep my load as light as possible.

    I went and did my fingerprint scan this past week and mailed in my child clearance. The fingerprint scan is available 2 days after you do it so there is no rush to get it done but the child clearance takes a few weeks I believe.

    I still haven't received my child abuse clearance letter yet and I sent it out over two weeks ago ... What to do because there wasn't a second copy in the orientation packet. I fear that I won't have it in time for orientation . What should I do ????

    No sweat. Here's the link to the online pdf form if you need it. It also has a phone number on it to call if you have questions. http://www.phila.k12.pa.us/forms/CY-113.pdf

    I got mine already, but I sent it Priority. I would give them a call. I think you'll be fine.

    Yea I have a course to take every semester along with nursing...it wont be that bad because it's all mental and I have a strong mindset and drive to succeed...as far as employment I am definitley keeping my job...I work for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the Nursing Department for the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs...it wasnt easy to get so I wont quit...seeing how I work 3rd shift and only work 3 hours out of an 8 hour shift ill have plenty time to study...the broke college student cliche isnt cool anymore
