CCBC Essex - Eve/Wknd Program Schedule?

Published

I will soon be applying to the CCBC nursing program and am curious about the actual schedule of classes/clinicals. I've heard that for the E/W program lecture is two days per week and clinicals are saturday and sunday (7-12). Is this correct? Feedback from recent grads or current students is much appreciated. Thank you!

The website is not accurate. I am finishing up semester 1, which consists of 129, 155, 153. In the beginning of the semester you attend 4 nights and 1 weekend day. About halfway through it becomes 4 nights and both weekend days. I don't know why this is sort of kept secret. Our whole class thought same as you. The didn't tell us until orientation 2 weeks before class when we also learned we'd be paying about 1000 out of pocket for supplies, uniforms and certifications.

Thank you so much Mystic! This is the type of thing I was worried about with this program. It bothers me that the website info is so inaccurate...

Yes with my research ive noticed a lot of the available information isn't accurate. I will begin the day program in the spring and viewing the classes I noticed that 129&155 are co-requisites. Orientation isn't until 12/16 but I've been looking for what to expect. Could you give me a heads up of what exactly we will be paying for.

Thanks so much. Do you know if the majority of things are available in the book store?

Only the books. And financial aid comes in late since evening weekend starts 2-3 weeks early.

Mystic, thank you so very much for that post. I've been going crazy trying to plan ahead and you just answered a ton of my questions. You're a life saver!

So, with FA coming in late, how did you finance the first semester?
