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?

Don't forget your drug tests everyone! Especially with the business of the holidays :)

Did mine today.

Omg i did forget thanks!

Did anyone in the Allegheny Day program get any more information in thw mail on our orientation Jan 6? The registration lady said they should aend us more info before then....I haven't gotten a thing.

Haven't received anything yet for Allegheny Day.

Has anyone had any luck figuring out the books for Boyce day program? I ordered my Taber book and Clinical Simulations book and have those ready to go.

What ATI books are you all required to get?

Quick Question: I just registered my ATI online account. I made it through the entire process and was going to start working on some of the material today, but I don't see any "products" available. My guess is that the instructors haven't uploaded an assessments yet. The advice was to start working on the ATI material now, but there are so many books that I have no idea which to start with. I thought that maybe if I could see the first practice assessment, it would give me an idea of where to start on the ATI books. Any thoughts? :smug:

Also the ATI books in my box are:

RN Adult Medical Surgical Nursing Edition 9.0

Fundamentals of Nursing Edition 8.0

RN Pharmacology For Nursing Edition 6.0

Nursing Leadership and Management 6.0

RN Community Health Nursing Edition 6.0

Nutrition For Nursing 5.0

RN Material Newborn Nursing 9.0

RN Mental Health Nursing 9.0

RN Nursing Care of Children 9.0

When I bought this package at the bookstore, they asked, "Do you also need the code?" Which makes me think you might be able to buy the books separately, but that you must buy the code at the book store. When registering the code, you did have to chose CCAC Allegheny campus. Good luck!

Coincidentally, I just happened to come across this in the Nursing Program Student Manual. Page 34. Its a schedule for the ATI testing. Hope this helps.
