CCAC Fall 2012 Applicants

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

Hello,

Is anyone else in the process of applying for CCAC for fall? Right now I'm waiting for the office to finish pulling up all of my transcripts and paperwork so that I can turn in my application. I'm doing the LPN to RN, so if I get accepted I should be graduating with the class that is currently in the program. Anyone else doing LPN to RN? I'm hoping to be accepted at Allegheny. That's where I've done all of my prereq classes. My second choice is South Campus.

Thanks sewnmom for your help. I got my fingerprints done today. I will wait to get my packet and then will go for physical.

I got my acceptance letter for CCAC main campus eve/wkend a couple weeks ago and went yesterday to register for classes. I've been warned that it's a lot of work but I wouldn't expect anything different from nursing program.

I'm starting nursing in the fall & I still have to take A&P 2 so I registered for it along with the nursing classes. Do you think it will be too much for the first semester? I thought getting out of the way first would work best.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I did A&P 2 with my first semester of nursing classes. It was not too bad. I did have to miss some A&P for nursing stuff - my prof was very understanding.

I did micro this semester with my second semester of nursing. It was NOT fun. I had a new instructor to the college. The micro tests were very difficult and very minutely detail oriented (other instructors' tests were easy compared to ours) and USUALLY fell on the same day as my nursing exams. I did get an A in micro - I am not sure how. I did sweat some bullets through the semester with the load.

So my answer is NO I dont think it will be too much. You just have to stay organized. I found that the material in A&P 2 actually worked in well to the material we had the first semester.

Hope that helps.

@Jme123 In my opinion AP2 is easier than AP1. I have to take Eng102 in the fall along with my nursing classes and then its all nursing after that, thank God.

Thank You both because I was a little worried. Everyone I talked to had all of their classes done. I'm taking Micro this summer so A&P 2 and English 2 is all that I have left.

You should be fine jme123. It just takes organization to keep it all together. I have a sheet above my desk that I schedule my study time allottment for each day. At first I thought maybe it was too silly to do that - but I found that it really did help. I could play angry birds or fiddle around on facebook or go off on some search tangent (I do those a lot) rather than put an extra 1/2 hr or hour into studying. It really helped me a lot to do that. I try to do at least 10 nclex questions a day. I have a weekly quota I stick to and the 10 a day helps to hit that.

Just a lot to learn in a short period of time.

Many sources:

Online

Books (buy them at half price books - the Saunders one is low on questions but good on rationale and teaching info - it was the specific one they recommend) - I have five of them. they really help especially if they are grouped by subject. I got a peds one as well.

software NCLEX 3500 at school or through the textbook codes - I bought NCLEX 4000 for about 30 bucks and have it on my computers.
