Malcolm X Fall 2016 (CCCSON)

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.

The new building. 3rd floor. The old building is halfway through demolition.

I cannot believe they are requesting high school transcripts from college students. If you already have college credits evaluated and accepted and have attended city colleges, you really should be beyond the point of needing HS transcripts. Ugh!

Right & I graduated from one too. I had to search hard for my BNA certificate & paper saying I passed the test. Im turning them in friday morning & see what they say about the high school ones.

Does anyone know if the lab portion of Nursing 101 is 1 day or 2 days? I know lecture is on monday & wednesday but I need to know if we need to register for 1 or 2 lab days. I have to submit my schedule to my boss this week.

I called National College of Health at W Peterson and they are offering CPR classes weekly. Also they do offer discount for groups of 6 people.

Anybody down for that discount?? Lol. And also, is their class through AHA or ARC?

How much would the discount be? I found a place for $45 & want to get it out the way this month since it will be the easiest, but dont want to waste money if its not the right one.

That's why I asked them but they said it doesn't matter, but I don't want to risk it. Better to get it somewhere through the American Red Cross. I'm gonna schedule mine for the days after the orientation just bc I'm sure they will tell us then

Did anyone here take the CNA classes at Malcolm this spring or Summer? If so where do I find a copy of my certificate?

Hi Fellow Fall 2016 Cohort Classmates-

I think that we can take CPR with the below company, the course is $45 and they have three locations. We need the healthcare provider course (BLS/CPR)....link is below if anyone is interested. I'm going to start knocking some of what I know will be the requirements out of the way bc I work full-time and won't be able to run around like crazy in August.

cpr-bls-chicago - CPR Associates Chicago - CPR Associatesinc - CPR Associates, Inc.

Also, from what I understand we will order uniforms through Working Class (southside on Cicero) or Uniforms to You (north side on Elston). They have the patches and style numbers for the uniforms if you call or stop in.

Again this is my understanding from what was required in the past, so I'm going to get the ball rolling to start checking things off the list.

Hope this is helpful to anyone interested.

I did mine at Wright college last Spring and received it the last day you can also check online search your name on the registry and should say pass and the day you took the exam to be certified

One other bit of info....again from what I understand...Heartland Health Centers on 845 Wilson Ave (773-506-4283), will complete all physical requirements, including the titers and drug screen for a flat cash only rate of $260. The doctor is only there Monday thru Friday till noon. The City School of Chicago physical forms have to be presented at the appointment bc the clinic does not have them. Apointments can be scheduled now, I scheduled my appointment for the second week of August bc I'm guessing we will get the forms at orientation. But bc of my work schedule I could not risk scheduling at the last minute since we don't know what the deadline for these requirements will actually be....however I do have a good feeling they will have to be completed in a short period of time following orientation.

Hope this helps! If anyone else has any info please pass it along and share it with the group....
