    serenity8675 replied to Bobsdaughter's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I had 3 letters from CCAC when I got home. I almost had a heart attack because they were all small letters (i.e., I was thinking one of them must be a rejection letter). Luckily, none of those had...

    Hello everyone!! Does anyone know if you are allowed to use PDA's during clinicals in CCAC's nursing program? My boyfriend offered to buy me one for school so I could get some stuff from Skyscape,...

    I got a really quick reply from the chair! She said that there have been students that use PDA's in class. She advised that we wait until we know who are clinical instructor would be and then send...

  5. PDA's at CCAC?

    serenity8675 replied to serenity8675's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    "It's in the mail." I haven't been home to check my mail yet, but from what everyone else has said today, I'm not expecting it to be there. I almost started screaming and banging the phone against...

    serenity8675 replied to serenity8675's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I made my daily "where the hell is my acceptance letter" call to CCAC today and since I was on the phone I asked Melissa if she knew anything about whether PDA's were allowed. She didn't have an...

    serenity8675 replied to Bobsdaughter's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I haven't bothered going to ask for any information. This website and word of mouth have been much more useful. You can get all your forms for clearances and fingerprints online and someone posted...

    :yeah:Thank you so much for posting the vaccination form, Betty!! That's the last thing I needed to get and it's so hard for me to get to an office during the day due to work. Thanks

    I don't know if they told you at the nursing office, but you can get your criminal background check online (you just print out a copy of the report). It's quick and easy and then one less thing you...

  11. 3 important questions!!!!!!!!!!!! CCAC/NET

    serenity8675 replied to agray80's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    By prenursing do you mean A&P I/II and microbiology? All those classes are available in the summer as well as as most other classes you would need (i.e., math, chem, etc.) Whether or not you have...

  12. CCAC Spring 2010

    serenity8675 replied to Bobsdaughter's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I would definitely wait on any of the medical stuff (physical, titers, drug test, TB) in case you have to have certain forms for documentation or something. I know that the drug test has to be done...

    serenity8675 replied to Bobsdaughter's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    From what I hear (there's a woman in my office who used to be in the CCAC nursing program, but failed out), you need to be CPR certified before the program starts. Certification needs to be in both...

    serenity8675 replied to Bobsdaughter's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I called the nursing department to check on when they were sending letters (I'm obsessed, I can't help it). The woman said November 5 or maybe a little bit later. Which knowing CCAC means an extra...

    serenity8675 replied to Bobsdaughter's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    They won't be sending out acceptance letters until mid- to late-October. The chances of getting into your first choice really depend on your GPA and your NET test results. They create a number out...
