Hi everyone, I was accepted to the ccbc RN program last semester. I know I was very nervous and wanted to know as much as possible when applying, but I could never find anyone who was accepted who came back to give us applicants any info (they were probably super busy with school ? ). I can't give anymore specifics on the actual classes though, because I ended up not attending that semester for personal reasons.
My stats were TEAS 90, GPA 3.85, and had everything done except that I was enrolled in A&P 2 when I applied. All of my nursing prereqs were A's except for a couple B's in the non-science courses. Just FYI, CCBC will send you an email to let you know whether you are accepted. The deadline for Spring was August 31, and the CCBC decision email came out on October 23.
The time-frame varies, as they confer with the ATB programs each submission cycle (our decisions were almost 3 weeks later than usual because of this, but it varies), so do not hold your breathe for an exact date on the decision email! The ATB decisions come after the CCBC decisions, and those times vary as well depending on each school.
When you get your acceptance email, they will tell you that you need to pay your seat fee on Simon (it appears as a separate charge), and there will be a link in the email for you to click on to officially accept or decline your spot. Be aware that they give you less than a month to pay your $200 seat fee from the time of your acceptance email arriving (they gave us ~3 weeks).
They also sent us an email saying that laptops are now required for students because they will be using a testing system that mimics the NCLEX, thus you must purchase your own laptop and pay for that testing software ($25/month).
They will also send you additional emails giving info on the mandatory PROGRAM orientation (it was about 2 months after the acceptance email came), uniform fees (they recommend $120-$130 for two uniforms which can be ordered and tried on at nursing orientation). The email also states that you will receive info at the orientation about the required Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers (CPR), Health Insurance, Criminal Background Check, Drug Screen, Physical Exam, and Proof of Immunizations.
After the PROGRAM orientation, there is a separate School of Health Professions mandatory orientation (held about 1 month after the Nursing Program orientation). I've been to that before because I did a different program in the SHP in the past, and the SHP orientation is just going over school codes of ethics (don't cheat, no plagiarism, ect.).
Keep in mind that the program is constantly changing, improving, ect so what was occurring last semester may be totally different this semester! Just take a breath, stay calm, and realize that either way, you will be ok ?

Hi all!
I just submitted my application to CCBCs Essex Day program for Fall '19. I immediately felt like I was going to puke! (hopefully this is a good indication?!) Anyway, I would love to connect with other applicants, so we can worry together.
Hoping to hear back from some of you!
