The paperwork at CALU said that payment for NRN101 must be turned in by December 16th. I already have Financial aid loans in place for 2009-2010 through CCAC, wouldnt that just fall into my loans?

I feel like I have a bunch of unanswered questions. I also don't like that they demanded you give them what paperwork you have with you. I didnt have a chance to make copies of my forms and told the woman that and she said "we make copies and give th...

bETTY, How do you like working for Home Instead? They had some info for jobs posted at CCAC. I was thinking it might be good to work around my school schedule if my current job wont work with school. ~Christen

there are alot of resources on this message board for drug calculations!!! I'm not purchasing anything else till i get verbatim instructions of what we need! :) We're already going to be spending a ton of money!
Christenmarie81 replied to betty67's topic in Pennsylvania
I certainly hope the bag includes a stethoscope and a pen light at least because i just cancelled my order for those two things! Besides seriously, just a bag should NOT cost 85 dollars!!!! I want a Littmann too!!
Christenmarie81 replied to betty67's topic in Pennsylvania
I got all excited and ambitious and ordered my stethoscope, pen light, and scissors on Amazon. And now i'm afraid that is what will be in our clinical bags. Why else would they be $85?!??!? Well hey, at least i'm in!! It could be worse! :imbar

I emailed Shannon to ask about the low cost drug screening. But I havent heard back yet. Registration is the same day/time as uniform sizing. Does anyone know if the clinical bag includes our stethoscope, pen light, and scissors?
