CCP Nursing Student Transfer

NNPwannabe · May 2, 2013

Hello, everyone!
I am currently an Army Wife living at Fort Riley, KS. I am attending a community college here and am enrolled in their nursing program. My husband and I are moving back to Philly at the end of this year. I want to be able to transfer schools and continue to get my ASN. I have every single class needed for CCP's program. Through them, I would only need Nurs 101, Nurs 132, Nurs 231, and Nurs 232. But I was wondering how the nursing program transfer works. Do I have to apply to their school as a regular student, even though I am already in a nursing program. Or do I apply as a transfer student from one nursing program to the next? I tried emailing them. No valid response, besides to come in. I can't being in Kansas. I tried to call and just got transfered from person to person. Any help, advice, or input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi!! Sorry you were given the runaround. You will find that this is not uncommon with ccp. lol. I just finished my first year of CCP's nursing program and I transferred to ccp from another school so hopefully I can help. Its great that you only need to take the actual nursing classes. Once you start the program you will be so glad you dont have any other classes to take. Believe me! lol. Since you have to take all 4 nursing classes, I would think the process for you would be pretty much the same as everyone else. In order to get accepted to CCP's program you have to first apply to be a regular student. I believe when I first transferred to ccp they told me to just put culture,science and technology as my major. Once you get accepted to the nursing program they automatically change your major to nursing for you. There is also an additional application you must fill out afterwards for the nursing program. Are you planning on starting Fall 2014? They usually have information sessions from October-December where they give you the application packet, go over all the requirements, and answer any questions. If you are unable to attend an information session you can usually pick up an application packet in the office, or since you are far away they may be able to mail one to you. But, I doubt they have the nursing applications available at this time so you will probably have to wait until at least October to get things rolling. The usual nursing application deadline for the following fall is around January 15th. After that I think they still accept applications, but they give priority to students who sent their application in by January 15th. You will also have to take the AHT (Allied Health Test) which you have to take on campus. While it is better to have the AHT done by the application deadline, I've heard of people taking the AHT in February and even March and still getting accepted so I wouldnt worry too much if you arent able to take it by January. Since you are a transfer student you will just also have to fill out a transfer credit evaluation form which you can get off the ccp website. This is so that all your classes from you current school can be transferred to ccp. This form is not specific to the nursing program so once you apply as a regular student you can just fill out the form and send it in. I hope this helps!
