1. CCAC Fall 2009!

   I think your Chemistry needs to be less than ten years old, but I'm not sure about that. They use your GPA, Net scores, and if all pre req's are not complete, they don't even consider your application. I know for a fact that a lot of people with 3.5 ...

   Wow, I am typing through a blur of tears right now after reading your story. I believe that he will be there to help you get through every single step of school. It will be tough, but you can do it. I wish you the best of luck.

   Great! good luck. Let me know how it goes. If you haven't already gotten the book, make sure you do. It will be a good reference, and our teacher told us we will use it often in the next two years. I couldn't do conversions at all before I took this ...

4. CCAC Fall 2009!

   kacey0423 replied to mochabean's topic in Pennsylvania

   We have to pass a drug calculation exam with a 92% or better in September. If we don't, we are out of the program. If you are not good at them, I would strongly recommend taking the class, although I don't think there will be another class before the...

   For some reason I can't send private messages--so I hope you get this. At the ACHD the tb test is free, but we need the 2 part so you have to go get it done, (they don't do them on Thursday) go back two days later, wait ten days but no more than 21 d...

6. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

   kacey0423 replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

   You seriously are not asking this question right? All I have been hearing about is how no one is hiring new grads--I am about to start nursing school at a community college--and the reason I am attending that school is MONEY--I don't know if your par...

   I guess we're about to find out first hand aren't we? Glad you got your clearances!

8. CCAC Fall 2009!

   kacey0423 replied to mochabean's topic in Pennsylvania

   I've been reading some other posts about CCAC compared to hospital schools and I'm a little nervous. (especially after registration--was that a joke or what?) I have heard that our clinicals aren't as good, and that the hospitals treat us as an annoy...

9. CCAC Fall 2009!

   kacey0423 replied to mochabean's topic in Pennsylvania

   The fingerprints came back within a week, the child abuse clearance took weeks. Pennsylvania background check is done online-if you have no record, you just print the report. They won't mail one. I got Danskos--they are supposed to be super comfy. I ...

10. CCAC Fall 2009!

    kacey0423 replied to mochabean's topic in Pennsylvania

    I'm going to the one at North, it's 3 nights. I got everything too except a light-I have all my clearances back, have my physical on Wednesday, need 2nd Hep B shot on the 22nd, and I should be all set. I'm excited and a little nervous about starting....

    kacey0423 replied to mochabean's topic in Pennsylvania

    My child abuse clearance took the longest of everything. I am attending North campus in the fall, clinicals will be Fridays too. I have heard that CCAC is hard--but aren't all nursing programs? I made sure all my co-requisites were completed so I can...
