I just graduated from CCAC South campus. I can tell you that most of what you hear is true. (unfortunately). I think the teachers have running bets on who will quit and when. I did NOT think I would graduate, but I took the advice of a friend who said just stay below their radar and that seemed to help. I want to add that alot of the student body there seem "high maintenance" like they deserve to be handed their books on a silver platter. Some of them got what they asked for. My biggest complaint was that sometimes we would not have instructors for class or clinical and the lab was NEVER open when I needed it. I also spent the last year on 2 separate ICU's, which was awesome, but I missed out on how to handle large patient loads. The most patients that I ever had was 3. The structure there needs to change, but overall you will learn if you take control of your education. They will not cater to telling you what you should've learned in A&P or Micro. Let me know if you need more help.. I'd be glad to share my experiences with you.

I took my test today as well. 75 questions and I walked out of that room feeling like I'd just gotten off the mother ship after 3 years. No idea who I was or where I'd been all this time because nothing on that test seemed to be taught in nursing school. I also believe that it's in the hands of a higher power. I prayed through the whole thing. All I can do now is pray and have faith that if God feels I'm ready to be an RN then I will pass.
