No---as far as the hospital location for your clinical..... it all depends on what floor you are on and how hard your clinical instructor works to get you a patient to coincide with what you are currently learning in class...

what do you want to know about the fast trak program?

around 84 or 86 a credit in county.... double if you live out of county.... some extra fees for some other stuff----say 90 for the semester. books for 101 will be around 500 plus at the bookstore------ but you can buy them elsewhere. around 100 for the uniforms. your stethoscope?????depends what type you want.

Well............let's see ------ I currently attend CCAC Boyce Campus. I am going to try and write an unbiased review with some key points. SNAFU would be the first thing I can think of to describe this program. In Nursing 101, we started out with roughly 146 students, we ended the semester with about 68 or so. Currently, the majority of the class has a 72%, which is a D and failing. We are given slides and materials to study, along with the textbooks, and the test is a poorly written instructor version. In Nursing 101, we had multiple clinical instructors whom would let their students leave after 4-5 hours, instead of the required 8 hours. Now, in 202. A majority of the class does not know how to perform basic 101 skills. We enjoyed going to a whole semester of Assessment lab, where we never got to perform any assessments. The best part is the slides. Often times you will get on slide---------say on Parkinson's from the Book manufacture and another set of slides put together by the instructors..... It is pretty bad when the book slides say NOT to use antihistamines with a drug--------and then you look at the CCAC slides and they say to administer antihistamines with the same drug. Well, last week there was a mini-talk with the faculty about questions and concerns..... This was nothing more than some damage control. Many students get spoken to in a condescending manor from the nursing faculty. The INSTRUCTOR loves to give remediations for being 1 minute late to class, yet LACKS professional leadership that she harps on us about. You can enjoy trying to talk with her while she text's whomever in the middle of the nursing station. You will get many eye rolls and be talked to in a manner as if you were 5 years old. And better yet------- you can be made to look like a moron in front of patients so she can show off her far superior intellect. I can go on, but this is enough for now.
