2014 CCP Nursing Program

Published

I figured I would start this topic to lower my anxiety just a little. I took the health allied test today and I have to wait till next week to get my scores. I really feel like im on pins and needles right now and I know I'll be a nervous wreck when I actually wait for my acceptance. Before I even got started on my journey to be a nurse I came across this website and It really answered a lot of questions about the application process, and was insightful in other areas of nursing that enabled me to think of more questions for answering. what I really love the most was that in previous years ccp applicants supported each other during the nerve wrecking waiting period on getting accepted. that support was so tremendous that a lot of the applicants bonded and became friends. Is there anyone else that has applied for the 2014 CCP program?

Does anyone know when they will allow us to see the book prices the the school charges. I would really like to compare them to other sites I found that sell them to get the best offer.

I suggest you guys look at other places. Ever since I started at CCP, fresh from high school, I was so excited to buy the textbooks. When I bought them, they cost about $600. I was shocked and returned them. I ended up buying my books elsewhere while cutting off the cost by $400. This was back in 2010.

Now, I have all the required texts and most of the recommended and so far I have paid about $100 and I do not have book credit or financial aid.

PS: I went to half.com and luckily Isaw someone selling the Ignatavicius book (like new) for only $35. That is a bargain

Great idea but in my case I get bookstore credit every semester for over 900.00 due to scholarships, grants, and tuition assistance so I have to utilize it. What I don't use is credited to my account of course. With two boys in college already I utilize half.com, book rentals etc for them but in my case I make use of the free money that I am getting. I spoke with the bookstore today and they will have books in by the end of July.

Thanks. I am going to take a look at that website. I usually find textbooks for over a 65% savings but can only seem to find older versions of the book they are requiring.
