CCAC Spring 2015 Hopefuls

Published

Hi All!

Just sending out a good luck huzzah to everyone applying for the Spring 2015 cohort at the Community College of Allegheny County.

We can start applying tomorrow and the the deadline is August 15.

I am all done with my pre-reqs and co-reqs, so am excited to get this application process rolling. I am going tomorrow to meet with an advisor to be sure all of my ducks are in a row.

Anyone else out there applying?

Although I am in the boyce program so I'm not sure, books may be different.

I bought the five hundred dollar box of books and the drug one Tuesday after registration....its all the bookstore had on hand.

I bought uniforms during the registration, but I forgot to ask the lady in how many sets of uniforms I am going to get. Awkward...:facepalm:

During the fittings, I noticed 4 colors (Scrubs - green, ceil blue, Navy blue, and white top & bottom + white lab coat). I Don't know if these 4 set of scrubs + lab coat I am going to receive or that colors doesn't matter because they are just use for a fitting purpose only regardless of colors. I don''t want to end up short of uniforms at the end of the day. Uniforms should be for 3 days class per week. Any ideas?

I am pretty sure our uniforms are navy blue and we only wear them to clinical.

Sure ill open it up sometime today and do that for u all

Thanks Fenix! Goldschmitty: A confirmation of what is inside that box would be very much appreciated since you have it already :)

Since the bookstore couldnt/wouldn't tell me, I contacted the Dean and Ebony Edwards. The dean said she does not have that information but forwarded my email to the two nursing instructors at Allgheney. That was just last night. The instructors, in case anyone wants to look them up in Rate My Professor, are Diantha Bey and Rathna Nanjundappa. Thanks all for the open communication you've shared. It makes the process more manegable.

Are nursing books different by campus? I am in search of books for the day program at Botce. I was looking at nursing classes offered this semester and the books they had to buy to be used as a gauge of how much it costs. Does anyone know the answer to this. I have everything ready with uniforms and certified Background with the exception of the drug test. Thanks!

They are different by campus but I dont know by how much.

Here r the books in my box
