Hey all...I've been searching the forum but can't find a direct answer. For those of you in the online track at Columbus State Community College or those who have recently applied for the online track at CSCC...
Is it true that admission is based on your application time instead of your bachelor's degree GPA, CSCC GPA, HESI score, essay, etc?
For those of you who have been admitted to the online track, do you mind sharing your first degree GPA, CSCC GPA, HESI score and confirmation # of your application when you applied (and maybe what time you applied)?
Thanks! I'm in my last quarter of pre-reqs and getting ready to apply for the spring 2011 cohort. I thought I'd be a shoo-in for this program but now after reading some other posts I'm not so sure. Have an appt. with an adviser in 2 weeks but I hear the general advisers aren't very helpful when asking nursing specific questions.
You can do s many electives as you can fit in, as long as you have the prerecs. I did critical care and the Mexico mission and was planning on trauma elective this quarter, but it was just too much.

Thanks for the info!! Can you give me some additional info on the Mexico mission? How much did it actually cost? What all expenses did you pay for? Where did you stay? Was lodging up to you as well? What type of work did you do?
I paid total of $650 which included airfare. We stayed at a church in Mercedes TX, and all of our meals were provided. The church provided showers, laundry facilities, and foam mattresses to sleep.
We traveled across the boarder daily to Nuevo Progresso MX. We saw almost 500 patients over two days. Sat up the clinic and the pharmacy. Four docs, five CNPs about 12 nursing students, and four pharmacists. I did a lot of triage, assessment and history taking. Worked as the nurse for a CNP, and did some home visits.
It was really a great experience, if you have the time and the money you should try to go.

I want to do the trauma nursing and the neonatel care class as electives. I wonder if they let you do an extra one if you want too.
