Does anyone have any idea what the CCP nursing uniforms are like? I noticed my letter says we will be fitted for them.

I must not have read it thoroughly, lol..I didn't see anything about a "fitting"...I assumed they would just be scrubs. I know we have to purchase them at orientation though.

It says we will be measured.

When you go to orientation, just buy the shirts and jacket. You can then get navy scrubs from any scrub store. The pants are horrible and tapered (at least thats what they offered us.) Any pair of navy scrub pants should be fine.

Also, the graduating class donates their uniforms for the incoming class to purchase for $5/piece. Some of them are in really good condition.

I was accepted to CCP's nursing program (but decided not to accept) so I can help you out. CCP operates on a point system...you get up to 3 points for (1) gpa, (2) score on their pre-nursing test--AHT, and (3) any fails or withdrawals. The program accepts those with 9, 8, and 7 points first. It is very competitive

Also, If I recall correctly, there are no pre-requisites, except for high school biology chemistry and math.
