Just wanted to start a thread for those who applied to CCAC for this upcoming Spring semester. What were your stats when you applied? What campus did you select? What are your nursing goals? I applied with a 3.8 GPA with Micro completed (as well as Eng Comp 1 & Psych 101). In currently taking a&P 1, Eng Comp 2 & MAT 108. I applied to Allegheny Day & I hope to become either a L&D nurse, nurse at Children's hospital or NICU nurse :)
Congratulations everyone!! I am in 202 right now (not sure what that means in the new curriculum, but I am in my second year), and I just wanted to let you know that although CCAC is unorganized and at times it will seem like you have no idea what's going on, it is definitely worth it. You will learn what you need in order to be a good nurse, and you will develop strong bonds with your classmates. It is a lot of work, but I have been able to work, get good grades, spend time with my husband, and even make it to a happy hour now and then. It's all what you make of it, and I have loved it all. Congratulations again, and good luck to you all!!
I completed A&P 1 and Micro last spring with both A's. I'm currently in A&P 2 which is the only other pre-req I needed for the program. I already had a BA in Psychology so fortunately all the basic writing and maths were accepted in transfer. Good luck to you all!!! I was declined last semester although my GPA was really high- 3.7. However, last semester I got a 4.0 and got the extra 1.5 points added to my overall this time around definitely helped. Now I have to figure out if I am going to quit my job which I only work on weekends and if I am going to continue to compete in bodybuilding shows while in the program. From what I've read on here you have to make this a top priority.
