Accepted into CCC Nursing Program: Truman College

U.S.A. Illinois

Published

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!

I think if you are in the day cohort then you have daytime orientation. I'm in the evening cohort and the orientation for me is in the afternoon/evening. I'm going to have to come home early from my vacation AND take off work to make it all four days!!

I'm also waiting until orientation to get my books. I've been hearing so many different things that I want to be sure I'm not wasting money!

Just got switched to evening hours, so I received the evening orientation schedule. Wow, I cannot leave early from work for all those days! How are we supposed to make it to this??

Registration is during finals, what are they thinking?????

Yeah, this is a little ridiculous. Less then 1 month from the 1st date (I assumed there'd only be 1, it was never hinted at being multiple) we get notice?

I'm on evenings too. I wrote saying I wasn't 100% sure what I could do because of work and that I didn't know if I could get there due to having to leave work 1.5 hours early 3 days a week. I also asked if I could show late or what would happen in that case.

All I'd say is write an email stating similar circumstances. Maybe if enough people (on nights) can't make it or have to show late or have issues with it due to jobs, then they'll knock it back an hour or so? I doubt it, but how else will they know that their students (those paying for this program) are having issues?

So there will be no orientation tuesday? This is terrible...why we need 12 hrs for orientation???? And why at Malcolm x...that is way toooo far from where I live....

Guess Tuesday is just to get registered for class. I would rather have one long day of orientation than four, 3 hour days.

Last year it was one morning of orientation at Malcolm X and then registration at Truman the next day. That was it! What is with this excessive orientation!! This "evening" program is turning out to be more of an afternoon program!

So are we still going to Truman next week tuesday??? I'm confused lol

Yes, next week is class registration and in August its orientation.

Yeah, the 24th is probably when we go in and grab a number to register. Also, the 4 day orientation does seem like an overkill... Did anyone notice it states Theater in MXC for day 1, but they didn't specify which theater A,B,C,D? Oh, and did anyone get a call from the Uniform Co. telling them to pick up their uniforms yet? If I don't hear from them this week, I will probably call them on Monday to see what is going on.

Does anyone know how the registration will look like?

Has anyone looked at the ridiculous nonsense they plan to go over during orientation?? Really, Truman?? I'm not stressing...
