Malcolm X Fall 2016 (CCCSON)

[Messy]

Hey Everyone,

Long time lurker here!

I made a promise to myself. The only way that I will ever make an Allnurses account, is when I apply to nursing school. Well, that time has finally arrived, and I just finished submitting my application to the City Colleges of Chicago School of Nursing. I clicked on that submit button like a boss!

Good luck to everyone who applied.

You have to wait until you're registered into the class before you can set up the payment plan. Last year we didn't get registered until after orientation, but hopefully they will be more prepared this year. You can find out what books you need from the bookstore around mid July but even then I would wait until after orientation because you may or may not need certain books. You will also get ATI books which are included in your tuition, but again, I don't know exactly when because we got ours late. You have to purchase the scrubs with the patches at the same time. They will talk about that at orientation as well.

Hello classmates! Is anyone else as excited as me to be starting our final year?!? I have a few co-workers who graduated and some already started working as RNs in my department & I keep thinking "I can't wait for next May" :-)

Hey, is anyone selling their nursing 101 books?

Hey, is anyone selling their nursing 101 books?

Same here! Let me know!

[kelders]

Is there anyone selling their nursing 101 books?

[mcwitty1]

I doubt if anyone is selling their books. We use most of them again in 2nd year.

[kelders]

Okay, thank you

[chiboiler87]

How does Clinicals work? Do we get randomly assigned or can we pick?

[kelders]

Clinical is within the classes we choose. It's the 6hr class.

[chiboiler87]

Oh ok, thanks!

So what should we expect for orientation? It's 3 days long...

Do we have to take pictures for a badge?

[Whermykeyz]

Badge? You mean school ID? No pictures are taken at orientation. It's 3 days of basically 'lecture'. You'll be given a folder with paper work, take notes & pay attention. Don't take a lot stuff, pen & paper are suffice. You'll be given a tour in sections so it's probably better not to take things you'd want missing. Congrats & see you around!
