CCBC Spring 2011

Published

Hello everyone,

I wanted to say hello to everyone applying to Spring 2011. When do you plan on handing in your application? I am so excited to be near the end of my perquisites. GOOD LUCK and I hope to see you all in the spring!!!:coollook:

I can't wait to have it either :) I am going to Essex! What about you?

I went to LabCorp on York Road for the drug test. They didn't charge me a dime. They didn't ask for my insurance card either. I have no idea why that is. I used the LabCorp form that was enclosed in our mailing. All they wanted was my driver's license. You void into a cup. It takes 2 minutes, but I had to wait in there over half an hour. Maybe it is pre-paid?? I have no idea.

The background check is done online. You go on to the link that was on the letter/eclosure in the packet. That costs around $95 (credit card). It takes 3 minutes once you get to the website.

It is my understanding that both results are sent directly to CCBC.

The CPR I am doing at Red Cross on December 28 if anyone wants to join me. You register online and pre-pay. ($80) It's all day. 9-5:30. CPR for Professional Rescuers. I called the nursing dept today to make sure it is an approved class.

All I did was follow the instructions in the packet. When I have a task list like this I hurry to get it all done. I hate this kind of stuff left hanging.

Let me know if anybody is taking the CPR class on December 28.

Is anyone on this thread attending Catonsville? I do not see any link in my packet about background or drug tests like everyone from Essex seems to have. I'm sure there will be info at Orientation but I was hoping to get a head start!

Oh yea, Catonsville's packet is different. They are supposed to get all the info for background check, physical and drug test at orientation.

@Jess & Christy: CONGRATS!!!

Congrats Jess! I was really sweatin' for you. Dang, you had to wait a long time. You really need to celebrate extra. I'm sure that was torture. And I will see you at CPR!

Congratulations to everyone! The Catonsville program had orientation yesterday. Lots of info on uniforms and supplies. We also registered for Fundamentals, so I feel like we are really on our way now!

I have heard the Essex class recieved information in their packets about health insurance through the school, but there was no info in my packet. I was told to check with the school counseling center, but does anyone have the information? I would greatly appreciate it. It is my last piece of the puzzle.

Thanks!

Our packet didn't say too much about insurance but last time I was at the Office of Selective Admissions at Essex they had pamphlets on reasonably price health insurance that will meet the minimum requirements for clinicals, so I would check there.

Also, Kaiser Permanente has some plans that are pretty affordable. My husband and I used them before we got health insurance through work.

Thank you very much, I just want to get that in order ASAP!
