2014 CCP Nursing Program

Congratulations!! losrojaa19

I am taking the AHT tomorrow. I can't wait until it is over, then I will just have to play the waiting game. So happy for both of you (Aleia and losrojaa19).

I was searching for information and found this forum. I did my AHT on November 25 as well and am waiting to hear if I got in. BlackmaleRN are you doing Eng 102 and A&P 1 during the day or at night. I am in the evening class. Good luck on the AHT bossyrobi, just keep an eye on the time, it can go by quickly before you even realize.

If anyone who made it to the program you can contact me at [email protected]

I'm taking them early morning, leuqcar. how many points do you have? congrats losrojaa19. I can't wait to see that letter in my mailbox. we should hear about more people as the waiting intensifies. they send out most of the acceptance letters in the end of February.

how did u feel after taking the aht exam

my daughter is trying to get in ccp nursing program and i am trying to guide her any suggestions

My suggestion is to take all the classes that is required for the program such as AP 1-2, Eng 101-102, Psych and Soc 101 and etc. prior to the application to nursing. The reason is thar Nursing classes are 7 credits and that is about 2 classes combined. Also, you have to consider clinicals schedule. I received my acceprance on Nov. I have one more semester to finish up other clasesse so fall 2014 I will only take Nursing 101.

Hi katrjac,

I just took the exam this week and I felt really good afterwards. I was definitely glad it was over and my anxiety of what the test would be like had subsided. The time is the most challenging thing but I prepared myself for that and it was not too bad. The hard part is waiting to hear afterwards.

Katrjac,

I agree with Aleia take all of the other courses first. That is what I have done as well so if I am accepted I will only have the nursing courses beginning in the fall. This is especially wise if you have a family or are working along with going to school.

she is so discouraged she got a c in AP and brought her gpa down to 3.33 she took the aht on the 17th and she also dropped a class last summer she took soc, csi, intro to psy,math 118. English 101 and 102 she is scheduled to take ap and spanish in the spring and diet in summer 1 but i was the one who told her to drop the math 118 she took it during her last year of high school and that drop hurt her gpa she said she did not finish the reading part of the aht she is 18 years old and i want to try to guide her the best way i know how do u think she need to take ap1 over again

First of, she can take AP 1 again. This can help bring her GPA and get a better grade in AP. I met someone, who took the AHT with me, and he told me that he got a C in AP 1 and that brought his GPA down. He retook the class and got an A. The C will be written off since his A is higher grade than his previous.

Second, because she dropped a class, there will be 1 point off from the Nursing grading system. Remember, Nursing acceptance is based on grading point system (GPA, No Class Withdrawals - Grade D or F, and AHT score). The accept 9's, 8's, and some 7's. You should have let her finish Math 118. When I applied to CCP (after highschool), I signed up for Math 118 because I thought it was required for Nursing and it was. However, it is only required for those students whose Math courses are more than 10 years. I found that out in the middle of the semester. Regardless, I still ended up finishing the class without withdrawing. This was also the same for Chem 110, which I did not need, but took it anyway. Suffice to say, I did not have to take Math 118 and Chem 110, but because I already signed up for it and was already taking the class, I cannot drop it because again - the grading point system.

Lastly, the AHT was easy but the time is the problem. Like your daughter, I also did not finish the test. I missed to answer about 17 questions. I was very upset. However, when I received my score I got a 17.8 (round to 18). This score is low because the test grade can go up to 30. But, because I made it above the minimum of 15, I get 2 points.

This is the Grading Point System.

9 points total:

GPA:

4 points: 3.5 or above

3 points: 3.4-3.0

2 points: 2.99 -2.75

Entrance exam:

21+: 3 points

18-20: 2

15-17:1

No withdrawal D or F: 2 points

1 withdrawals D or F: 1 point

multiple withdrawal D or F: 0 points

Your daughter can still bring her GPA up. She still has several classes to take, so if she does well she can bring it up to at least 3.5 GPA. This will give her 4 points. Tell your daughter not to get discourage and to relax. There is still time for improvement. FIGHTING!! (She can do it!) ----> This actually happened to me last semester when I took AP 2. We get 4 test and 2 lab. First 2 tests were around 70's score. I told myself if this keeps up I will get a grade of a C. Therefore, I studied very hard (reading the notes--recording lectures--watching Youtube for better explanation
