CCAC Spring 2011

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

Just wondering if anyone else on here has applied to CCAC for the spring 2011 semester?

You should be able to get everything done by then...I must say though I think the people working the acceptance office are rather rude. They need to get with the program. We had a deadline by which we were supposed to apply, and anything submitted beyond that would not be accepted. Why can't they abide by a deadline? They keep changing the recorded messages every week.

I have to agree. I know there is a lot of data, and a good number of applicants, but two months? They ask for your email, and you don't even get an email saying "Thank you, your application is complete and in process."

Anyway.. no word here either. At least by this time I have tuned in and can recognize the sound of the mail truck's muffler, so I no longer have to sit outside awaiting his arrival.

hahaha You recognize the sound of the mail truck's muffler? Hilarious! Thanks for the laugh, liteweaver99. I applied for Allegheny Day too. I read some sketchy things about the nursing program staff, but I'm going in (if I am accepted) with an open mind. All I expect is a quality education and professionalism.

Hi all! I really hope that I was not lied to and they actually were sent out. I completely agree that the staff there is rude-I did find one nice person, but she doesnt know anything most of the time- and they should have to stick to their date just as we do. As for the shots.... From what I heard once you are accepted you get another envelope a few weeks later telling you what all you have to do. since we all know how they are with mailing stuff, I went onto a hospital school of nursing and checked out the shots they require- i would assume they are all the same or atleast somewhat close. so if i get accepted I am going to make an appointment asap and go by the list that I have to atleast get a little ahead of the game. Also if you read some past posts, they tell you how you need a criminal check etc. I will see what all I can find out about that as well and maybe we all can get a jump on it. I am going to go back now and make some notes and post again in a few mins with some details- I hope!

couldnt find exactly what i was looking for, but according to 1 site i found you need: criminal record check, child abuse registry clearance and fbi clearance. the shots/titers are rubella, chicken pox, mumps, tetorifice, and hep b. current cpr cert. and the thing that worries me is i saw that you have to do a drug calc test within your 1st 5 weeks of class. you have to pass with a 23 out of 25. and they dont teach it. you get a book to teach yourself it.

Thanks for the info! Then there is also the drug test, blood tests, right?

As far as the dosing test, I think I heard that you can fail it like once, and then you are given another try. Most people pass it just fine from what I hear. So, don't let it get you too discouraged. :)

Does anyone know anything about the cpr certification? Sounds involved...how long does it take, how much does it cost? Anyone?

Thanks

as for the blood tests i am not sure. the drug test though i believe has to be within so many days of starting class.... not positive though. i am going to check into the red cross for my cpr cert. I have seen it on ccac's schedule and i think it is like a saturday and sunday. I heard the red cross charges around $50 and it is good for 2 years. sorry i could not be more help!! i just want to know what that stupid letter says already!!! I also set up an appointment for thursday with a hospital school just in case. all my credits can transfer to there and it is pretty easy to get into... my mail wont be here for 13 hours and i fear it wont be in there again!

sorry- one more thing. i also heard that you can fail the drug calc test once also, but after that your out of the program. I have never really heard a pass rate etc. i can tell you this- if my letter is here tomorrow and it is good news, i am running out and getting a drug calc book and starting to study asap. math is my worst subject!
