Honestly if I could go elsewhere I would.... especially if it meant a better degree. I need to get done with school asap and get a job because I am married with 3 kids. that is why I am sticking with ccac and not looking elsewhere. but if ccac fell thru I was going to washington hospital. I plan on furthering my degree eventually but right now, I need the fastest route for my family. everyone has sacrificed for me to go to school to begin with. Jason and others still looking- La Roche also offers an associates degree and accepts CCAC credits as well. Applications are due May 1st for them. And they do not have a waiting list.

I believe that Monica is the one in charge of all campuses so my guess is she will be the one to get back to you. Good luck- I hope that it all works out for you guys!! for those that are deciding between pitt and ccac- what campuses were you accepted to at ccac? and is there a reason why you are up in the air? (like have you heard bad stuff about ccac or pit etc?)

did anyone ever think of washington hospital also? i dont think they have an essay- it is all first come first serve, they accept ccac credits. that was my backup if i didnt get into ccac. it is actually a nice school and i have alot of friends who went there and got hired by the hospital. downside is ou only get a diploma.

oh I get the lottery thing now. The Allegheny letter said nothing about it. ours give you 2 dates and you have to call and make an appointment for one to do your registration. When I called for my appoinment I think she said they were every half hour. The whole lottery thing kind sucks though since it is basically the luck of the draw. what if you need a certain time/day? Well hopefully you get the times that you need! Good luck! Jason- I went into where we register to see what campuses had spring semester. I did not see calu on there but maybe there scheduling is different? anyways thanks for clearing it up!

Is Boyce the only campus to do the lottery system? Did your letter state that is how they do it? I am curious because I havent heard anything about it. Maybe it is because Boyces classes are both later in the day/evenings? also, I went on to ccac central and saw that only Boyce and Allegheny have spring sessions for NRN 101... does that seem right? i thought all the campuses had spring terms. maybe not....

I feel so sorry for you guys that are having issues. when I tried to appeal a decision before I was told to email Monica Kennison which I believe was [email protected] obviously I didnt get anywhere with my appeal, but it was a completely different situation. She was very fast with getting back to me- about 1-2 days if that. She was pretty nice. I know that she is the Dean of Nursing. Good Luck you guys. Jason... the reason the slots for classes are not filling up yet is because we had to make an appointment to meet with someone to register. I believe the dates are 12-15 and 12-20 for Allegheny. I am not sure about the other campuses. But obviously you guys have some time to appeal before we even have to register. I am sure that you guys will get in once they see their mistakes. Congrats to those that got their letters today!

JasoninPA- sorry to hear about your issues. You will need to contact the Dean of Nursing at the north campus- I am sure you will win this fight! Good Luck! To everyone else who got letters today.. CONGRATS! Lots to do in the next few weeks! Did anyone else get a 2nd acceptance letter today?

Good luck today getting your letters!! I am sure you will get them and all get in!

what campus are you at? I will be at Allegheny. Thanks again for all your help! Oh one more thing- I read somewhere that we needed a stethoscope with a bell for peds- is that right?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

Bobsdaughter- thank you for the help. any suggestions were to buy the stethoscope etc? also do we have to have any certain type of white shirts under our scrubs? like can we wear long sleeve shirts or turtlenecks or just tshirts? thanks again for the help!!

Pookalook- did you see anything about a stethoscope? do we have to buy one on our own? also did you see we have to buy nursing shoes? i thought we could get white tennis shoes....

I am now scheduled for registration, uniforms and doctors for physical shots etc! wow... lots to do. I am also working on all the other papers to mail out tomorrow. I went online and checked out our uniform choices. cant find the lab coat though.

i feel your pain- i stood by my door watching the road to see when he was coming. he is lucky I didnt drive around looking for him!

well go figure- everything else was disorganized! but hopefully dealing with allegheny will be different. I feel bad we are so excited and no one else seems to know yet.
