Accepted into CCC Nursing Program: Truman College

[Katja508]

Hi all! I've started this thread for those of us who have gotten the good news and have been accepted to start the nursing program at Truman College in Fall 2012!

If you are still waiting to hear, I would suggest visiting the other thread I started for some helpful information, tips, and support!

Here's what I know so far:

• There WILL be clinicals in the first semester (6 hours)
  
• The classes will be scheduled via a lottery system
  
• We should be receiving a letter from Dr. Gurney in the near future that details what our next steps should be!
  

Please add to this thread if you have any more information or just want to say hi!

I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys and having classes together shortly!

Yay! Congrats nursinghereicome!

Katja I was thinking the same thing with the "disregard the first email" business...

I think you were right though, she probably made a mistake with the heading and needed to change it because the same email will be going to students in all programs.

Either way I'm super excited and so happy for all of us who have been accepted and those who have yet to be accepted, LOL!

I truly don't believe it! I thought I would never be able to take part in this thread but here I am. I was accepted last night. I don't care how it happened but it did. I am so excited and can't wait to see all of you in class!

Congrat's to everyone.

Congrats Bethany! Congrats to everyone! Although I'll be across the way at Daley, I wish all you guys the best as we begin this exciting and scary journey known as nursing school!

Ok, did a little research into CPR courses, it seems like the going rate is $50-$55 not including the book $5-$10. (Enjoy CPR, Pulse and chicagocprnow). I did find one company that does online certification Online CPR Certification & Online First Aid Certification - CPR Recertification Course, CPR Classes - American Health Care Academy for $19.99.

Please let me know if you find any others.

Now don't quote me on this but my aunt who is a CNA told me that some fire departments offer the class for free. I never looked into it because I had just gotten my CPR card when she told me this, but it might be worth a shot. She got it at the Elmwood Park Fire Dept. and apparently they offer it twice a year. I got mine for $40, that was the best price I could find. I went to the CPR Associates, both websites are below if anyone is interested.

FAQ

Oh and I would make sure CCC accepts online CPR, some schools don't.
