Clackamas Community College (CCC) class of 2016 cohort

Published

Hello! I thought I could start this thread to gather as many CCC nursing students who were just accepted into the program. I figured we could share our stories and get ready for our world as nursing students at Clackamas! Congrats to everyone and let's begin this journey! I am so excited!

thanks!! I registered for 3 , did anyone else? Also, does yours say pass/no pass for your lab section? Mine does and I didn't select that option.

alewis513- Mine says the same thing and I didn't select that option either. I remember when I did my medical assisting program the clinical classes were all pass/no pass and lecture was a letter grade. I think our program has the same process for grading clinical competencies. I signed up for section 2. Section 1 would have been the best but it was all full when I tried to sign up.

In regard to FB. I cancelled mine a couple of years ago. I might make one this weekend though:) I don't know if I can reactivate an old one.

I need some advice so I'm planning my fall schedule and need to take another class along with my nursing courses. I would either take bio 101 or 112 for genetics or writing 123or 227. Any suggestions?

Are you adding a class because of financial aid (to go full time) or for a different reason? I look writing online and found it pretty easy.

For financial aid reasons thanks I'm thinking writing online is the way to go. Have you taken either bio classes yet?

I am also nervous about only doing 9 credits. I am so used to more and it worries me with financial aid (I plan on talking to financial aid a lot in the summer). If you are only doing it for financial aid I would just do a simple 3 credit online course! There are things much less time consuming than more bio and writing. I did take 112, it was kind of hard for me but if I went back and took it (after a&p and Micro) I would probably do much better. I guess I needed some things really pounded into my brain. BI112 was a prereq for a&p at PCC so I think it was many people's first look at the who bio thing.. it was like the building blocks before they throw in everything at a&p. It had a lab and was 5 credits (maybe 4?) I wouldn't want to take it along with our already busy nursing school. I am taking conflict resolution at PSU online this term. THAT is an easy class, if you are doing it only for the credits, I recommend it! :)

Thank you. I plan on talking to financial aid as well. I took bio 211 many years ago didn't get a very good grade so I was thinking I should bio 112 or 101. I would like to stay with CCC Since that is the only place I applied for financial aid thru. Either way I'm thinking i will take writing in the fall and save bio for later.

I would talk to an advisor. I think you should be fine if you got through your A&Ps and everything? I don't know.... I would definitely talk to someone. Or take a class that would allow for you to do some of your OHSU BSN prereqs?

Is WR 127 needed for BSN if you took 121 and 122?

I think so as I interpreted it means you need 121 122 and 123/227

I wrote OHSU and got an immediate response (crazy, right?). I was a little scared because I didn't have more than the two courses! I didn't want to add a class!

If you took 121 and 122 and they were both 4 credits each then you have met your writing prereqs and do not need to take more for your BSN.

I can forward the email to you, Jaymee or send it via fb if you want to see. I am hoping I can get by with only 9 credits. :-/
