I was accepted for the fall semester & have yet to send in my deposit. I would love to hear from some current or past students regarding their experience there. I received a letter explaining which classes I've already taken can be applied there, yet I've read some postings where they don't accept credits & you have to repeat everything there. Is this true? I already have an Associates degree & all but 1 general class finished. I don't want to have to start from scratch. If that's the case I'll keep trying to get accepted elsewhere.Thanks!

See thats weird about your statistics because mine is not a nursing statistics either but it coincides with the statistics class that GMC wants you to take. I asked my admissions rep about it and he said it is something I can take..he better not have made me take something I'm going to have to retake at GMC..hmmm Once you register for classes you will get a login to the myGMC website. It will give you access to the ASN nursing portal where you can download all of your necessary documents including the book list, summer reading list, clinical requirements, health form, parking permit, etc.

The way my schedule is broken down I have class every day. Since no matter what you have to keep fulltime status the first 2 years you attend I would assume you will be in class at least 4 days if not 5. The nursing classes are monday, wednesday, and thursday, and tuesday is considered your clinical day. However the first 5-6 weeks of the semester we will be doing in class clinicals. So Tuesday is blocked out all day, so you cannot register for any classes on that day. I think you have the option to chose clinicals to be tuesday or thursday but whatever day you chose you cannot register for any other classes on that day.

After you mentioned your issue with your Stat class I looked into mine and its a Statistics for Science class so it does carry over. I start my final semester at CCP on monday. Can't believe in less than two months we will be starting nursing school. Don't forget as far as the clinical day goes, for the first 5 weeks or so we will be in school from like 8-3 on that day and then they will place us for clinical and that can be day or night. I don't know if you have any children to make arrangements for. When I did my one semester of nursing at CCP i didn't realize we were in school for the first 5 weeks for clinicals and i didn't make arrangements to have my kids watched on that day. Thankfully I had a great sitter who was understanding..lol

What other classes are you taking?

Its called Arts and Ideas. I had a meeting with the dean and she helped me pick my classes. I told her to give me a easy class since my other class is Statistics uuuuugh!!! Im not sure what it really about.

Well good to know its an easier course. My plan is to take advanced physiology 2 in the spring and maybe I'll take that with it

i was wondering did you order your book yet? I was asking because I tried to look up the book on line at the school bookstore but it will not let me look up the books for the nursing classes I just was wondering how much they were.

also do we have to order scrubs from that website flynn and O Hara

yes i have all of mine. it was almost $1000 for everything including my other two classes which i rented those two. you can't look them up by nur110 it has it listed under freshman nursing or something like that. also yes you have to order your uniforms from flynn & ohara because they put all of your patches on your shirts and jackets. also I already had cranberry/maroon colors scrubs because i work in healthcare and i thought maybe i could get away with not ordering the pants so I only purchased one pair but the colors are different so I need to order another pair. GMC is very particular about the uniform requirements.

I didnt receive my username and password yet they said they will send them out end of July. Maybe thats why I cant find the book list.
