2brnsomeday

Sewnmom, You are way inspirational and on top of the program. Thank you, I joined and I agree, I am much more on FB than this site.. see you there.

Hello everyone, I received my south campus letter giving the "checklist" of things to do before July 29, 2011. It also states that "additional dates and times regarding registration, uniform fitting, student orientation and obtaining your CCAC student Id will be mailed within the next couple of weeks." So I gather that after we do all the required clearances etc, we will then take the next steps to register. What a process but all worth the wait and end to the guessing what to do next. Good luck everyone with the checklist. :stdnrsrck: :BDCk: now I am ready for a piece of chocolate cake!

Oh my, I didn't realize we are to meet with the advisor. I assumed we were automatically assigned to classes in the program for day or eve?

Hello everyone, I am behind on this thread. Emilyjoy: To answer your question about the packet for South Day... as of today's mail I have not received it yet. I wonder if each campus is mailed out different times. Let's hope so. Swenmom: WOW you are on ball. Good for you! I only hope I can be half as organized as you, I know it will make a difference too!

Ah too bad, I am at South Day. But at least we have this thread to keep each other posted. I assume that the same list of items apply for all CCAC campus'?

Sewnmom... CONGRATS, that is the hardest part i think is passing that PAX test! Speaking of overwhelming, I guess I am reading the thread wrong... so you are in the program this fall? I need to get some coffee... But it sounds like you already have a handle on the books and are very prepared. I have heard the littman is worth the $$. Maybe that is the one thing I can buy ahead of time.

KH321... Hang in there you can pull up your grade, stay positive and focused. You are smart and determined and come this far! A wish for luck is appropiate, but a heartfelt "go kick some finals test butt" is meant! :rckn: Keep us posted...:hgu: ps.. this is not related to our nursing thread, but I love adding the smilies!

Rebecca6890... WHAT WOULD WE (newbies to nursing 101) DO WITHOUT YOUR WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE! Thank you for the heads up and ideas of what to do, handle and prepare for. Your advice on waiting for the instructions on what to buy is a great idea. I am anxious and ready to go get the supplies now, but waiting to make sure I buy the CORRECT items will be beneficial in the end. I hate returning things, and CCAC does not give 100% refund. Sewnmom... Good luck in your studies and PAX test for the upcoming semester. You've come along way and glad you are not giving up! :redbeathe:hgu:

MZK8 Congratulations! So relieved for you. Now you can focus on the next steps! What campus?

Hi Rebecca and Kelly. My name is Lori. Looks like we are in the Day South program together. It will be nice to meet you and have some familiar background. Rebecca so you did the whole first semester and now you are retaking it over? Kelly are you in the program already? Where were your clinicals? I also heard that there is a dosage calculation test in the first few weeks, and you have two chances to pass - if not you are kicked out of the program.. is that true?

I know this is no consolation, but I failed the pax twice and have been waiting to enter nursing program for almost 2 years, I even failed the PSB vocational test for the UPMC schools. I am over 40 and tried hard to never give up hope. SO please keep the candle burning and your dreams will come true, it takes perserverance and determination and lots of support from loved ones. I really hope you jas101 and mzk108 get your letters soon (one way or another).:tinkbll:

Geez, I am stressing for all of you too! But it sounds like a promising outcome that they are still reviewing the applications, so fingers crossed! :rckn::flwrhrts:

I hope so too Jas101. The mail delivery is sometimes slow, so keep your fingers crossed and let us know. :tinkbll:

yay Congratulations! :hug: I know what you mean, I was not expecting a letter today. I am going to South Day Program. However, it says "tentative acceptance letter" pending on physical, background check and drug screening. I already told my friends I am accepted, hope it was not premature!

Congratulations! :anpom:
