Hey everyone! I am just curious if there is anyone else that has applied to the ADN program at Central Carolina Tech this time around? I believe the deadline was March 16. I was wondering if anyone knew when we are supposed to get our letters as to whether we got in sent out? Best of luck to everyone who has submitted their package!
Wow I need to check this site more because I'm obviously not getting the email alerts on time. Anyway, no I had to go to my doc and get reshots and/or titers on everything since the military kindly misplaced my stuff from my husband's last base. I got one more PPD test then done. Still got to do toxicology/background amongst still buying some stuff. As for blood pressure and stethoscope. I bought a really nice littmann but it's black so I'm going to put fabric tape on it to help identify it since I keep reading people like to steal them.
Just a suggestion: don't put tape on your stethoscope, it'll end up all sticky and gross. An alternative is a metal stethoscope ID ring like this: https://www.etsy.com/listing/201657574/handmade-stethoscope-id-ring-made-from. Just search on Etsy or eBay for "stethoscope ID ring," there are a ton of customizable options. I bought one on eBay.
BrandyV, which branch of the military? I know the Army keeps all that info electronically, I am able to have my primary care provider print out my immunizations and titers. What a pain!
Good idea! Thanks. I think I will try to get my bell engraved too. I'm just worried someone will try to steal it with all the horror stories I've heard and read and I paid a good penny for it... My husband is air force and my dad was too so I tried to see what the Air force had and all my files were gone from when my dad was in. I got titers so everything is ok now but it was frustrating at the time.

I left my beloved Littman Cardiology III at the Level 1 ED where I work casually, and I was sure someone would take it - but nope! Someone was kind enough to put it aside in a drawer for me to get when I came back after 2 weeks. Renewed my faith in humanity, haha! :)
That was me with the scholarship form. I did receive the form. The Finiancial Aid counselor was nice enough to mail it to me since I live so far away. I already paid for my background check and did my urine screen today. I still need my physical and titers and ppd. Also I need to set aside a day to drive up to Sumter to order my uniforms and nametags. I am planning on attending the success in nursing school seminar too. I haven't bought my stethescope yet because she said they were giving one away as a prize. Just in case I'm lucky that day. lol.
