CCP Nursing 2016 HELP

Congrats, I just got my acceptance letter today. I did finish all of my prerequisites, and now doing some for Jefferson and an online rn-bsn. You have a great plan to finish all of them before the fall so you can be able to focus on the nursing classes. From what I heard, people dropped out from the work overload. So you should be fun, so just stick to it.

Awesome , Congrats !!! if you don't mind me asking, what are the classes that you're taking for rn-bsn? Yeah that's why I want to take micro biology in the summer, so that way I won't have to take it in my first semester of nursing, but at the same time I am pretty nervous about taking biology class in the summer.

I'm taking statistics, biochemistry, philosophy, and a psychology class between this fall and coming spring. Microbiology isn't that hard honestly, more like AnP 2, you need to understand the material not memorize it. If you have a problem explain how things work, then you might have a small problem. During the summer your just gonna have to spend more time studying that's all.

Hi,

i just mailed my application on Saturday. Can you tell me when you applied?

I was told by a counselor that you HAVE TO have all your other classes done before you start Nursing 1. Which didn't make any sense to me, since those classes are described as co-requesites, meaning that you have the option of taking them along with nursing 1.

Either way, I'm hoping to get into the nursing program for 2017 and plan to take all those courses before Nursing 1 anyway

Congrats! CCP is an excellent school! I came in through their LPN to RN transition course. I will be graduating this May! All of my pre-reqs were taken prior to the nursing courses. I took abnormal psych, as well as statistics last summer. Neither were a requirement of CCP, however required for most BSN programs. The cost for the 7 credit nursing course is around $1750. I receive financial aid, but they can put you on a payment plan of 3 payments. Philly is a very competitive market, a BSN is definitely needed. However, outside of acute care facilities there are jobs for Associate degree nurses.

I applied very early and took the early admission test date

I was told by a counselor that you HAVE TO have all your other classes done before you start Nursing 1. Which didn't make any sense to me, since those classes are described as co-requesites, meaning that you have the option of taking them along with nursing 1.

I'm not sure whether that is true or not because when I went to another counselor, she said otherwise. In my opinion, finishing all the pre-reqs for nursing program is a good idea so that way you can give your full attention to Nursing 1 and then take more classes with Nursing 2 if you feel that you can handle it. Well, that is my plan..

And that's my plan. I have some college credits from right out of high school that fulfill some of the program requirements, so all I need are my sciences and Nutrition. I'm just scared of doing all those requirements and then not getting into the program. My GPA is 3.5 but I'm hoping a couple A's will bring it up

Thanks I take my test next week. Praying I get in as well.

Can you tell me what your schedule is like at CCP?

Hey PsyNurse2Be, I bypassed the first semester due to the LPN transition course which was in the evenings. I did attend a few Nursing 101 classes that were on Mondays 8am-10am and Tuesdays 8am-9am, both lecture classes. The first semester they have lab and something called AXIS after classes on Tuesdays, you pick your time usually it's an hour for AXIS and two hours for labs. Clinicals are on Wednesdays and Thursdays, usually from 7am-1pm. Nursing 132 the lecture hours and days stay the same and again you choose your lab time. Seminar is usually 20 minutes after the lecture on Tuesdays. Clinical days also remain the same, however they offer alternate schedules at certain acute facilities usually from 2pm-8pm or 3pm-7pm. You have to sign up as soon as the email offer is posted, alternate classes are on a first come basis. In second year lectures are on Monday 10am-12pm and Thursdays 8am-9:20. Again, seminar is 20 minutes after lecture on Thursdays. There is no lab requirement for second year, however there may be one or two simulation assignments. Clinicals are Tuesday and Wednesdays same time as above unless you select an alternate schedule. Fridays are free days, I work Friday-Saturday. Hope this helps!
