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!

Hi Everyone! Is there anyone who wants to switch their day classes for my evening classes? Right now I have evening classes but would really like to switch to the day classes. I haven't heard anything yet from the nursing dept and it looks like some of you have and have already switched with other people. If anyone is interested, please email me at [email protected]. Thanks! I appreciate it!!

Well all the textbooks , one online drug code and one ebook were $950....

Uniforms are ugly as hell. Also said said we only need penlight and a blood pressure cuff. Was told it was left off the list. We can not get the unisex uniform which sucks. I hate elastic wastebands. Also we are not allowed to wear any type of croc type shoes. The zone was accidentally put on there. Has to be leather and closed heel shoe. I might just order the unisex also and see if they will change their minds and if not I can always wear them for work. Have a great weekend all and hope to see some of you at orientation.

Thank u for the update. Can the white shoes be any regular white shoes? The shoes I have, have laces.

[lungu2007]

We can have any white shoes as long as your toes are covered...the shoe doesn't have to be closed heel...at least thats what I was told

[kmccoy]

This was from the unifo store, guess we will find out at orientation. Would be nice if we can order the unisex ones instead if the women's, maybe they will change their mind

I was told closed all the way around, no slip ons, all leather, no design...

I was also told at the uniform store that we will need a stethoscope, along with the pen light and BP cuff.

FYI. Do not purchase all the books! They're not all needed!

WHOAAAAA why are all the orientation times during morning hours?!?! No way am I taking a week off work for this...

[kmccoy]

What orientation times? Thought that was what was next week.

[kmccoy]

Never mind, just got the email. How are we suppose to work during any of this. I can't be asking off all the time or leaving early.

So, the first day of orientation will be at Malcolm X College?
