This is being created for the CCAC nursing students who have applied to the Fall 2018 semester. I saw one that was created for the Spring 2018 and thought it would be great to connect and share information for those of us that are hoping for this coming Fall.
So, when do you think we will hear back if we got in or not?
What were your TEAS scores?
How many of you have taken the prereqs and supporting classes?
What campus did you choose and why?
Is this your first career or are you looking for a second career?
I'll put my answers in the comments below. I look forward to connecting with you all and am excited to hear about your adventures!
To add on to this, the book store doesn't always have the nursing books until you start the semester. I know one of my classmates was going to sell hers. Also you will need to buy the ATI books and codes, those were expensive, along with the nursing book bag and supplies. I spent around $1300 on books and I didnt need one of them so that saved me a few hundred. And you'll have to buy scrubs for clinical, two pair, a warm up jacket and two shirts cost me around $200 because they are greys anatomy brand and they are monogrammed.
Hi! Congratulations!! I just received my acceptance letter to North Campus Evenings! I didn't get the orientation letter, though. Does yours say anything about when we take our background checks, fingerprints, drug screens, etc? I read somewhere that we might be able to use documents from the past year and was wondering how true that is.
Thanks! I got accepted to Boyce fast track. It seems castle branch does the background check, FBI and child abuse clearances for you. The paper also says it isn't due till end of july, so you have time. Also its 171$...ugh. Also, the packet says the background, FBI and child abuse clearance cannot be used from old jobs. They need to be completed after the acceptance date. Though previous titers and TB tests can be used.
I recieved my letter also!!! I did not get a packet just the letter. I got accepted into North evenings which was my first choice. I am so excited!! Congrats to everyone!
That's helpful, thank you! I'm assuming castle branch does the drug test as well? I'm so glad previous TB tests can be used, though. I hate getting those lol
Castle branch does the drug test, your packet will give you dates you can take your drug test. It's a panel, they test for everything. People have failed the drug test. And your TB test must have been a two step TB test or they will not accept it.
I am so confused on how to make an account on castle branch to sort everything out? Please help!
Once you have orientation, you will have the instructions. At least that is what I was told. I'm in North Evenings...so I'm assuming it's the same for you.
