You are probably done by now, but in case anyone reads this in the future your goal needs to be measurable. You should define a parameter for "adequate perfusion" and there needs to be a specific time frame also. Good luck!

I have learned how to appear confident even when I'm not. This has actually increased my level of confidence and I find confidence goes a long way with clinical instructors. Of course I'm not talking cocky or over-confident, just the ability to portray confidence in myself and my abilities even when I'm nervous as all get out!!! "Fake it until you make it"

I am sorry that you didn't get accepted. Did they offer you a spot in the Pre-Nursing or Pre-Professional program? I heard that this semester they placed more emphasis on an applicant's standardized test scores. There were a lot of people that took/retook the ACT to boost their score. The average score of those that were accepted seemed to be around 23. I never heard anyone really talk about SAT scores. CCHS offers the ACT at the school several times a semester - maybe taking that would improve your chances of acceptance next semester. Hope this helps!

I just went by the office and asked what the policy is. They said if you aren't a current student that they can't give you any information over the phone or in person. They did say that the letters didn't go out until last Wednesday so it may still be a day or two before you get yours. Good luck!

You should get a letter letting you know your status (accepted, waiting list, denied). Usually if you are denied the letter will offer you a spot in the Pre-Nursing or Pre-Professional Program. I know a few people last semester that were denied that never did get an actual letter. You should call the school this morning and ask them about your status. They should be able to tell you something now that letters have gone out - there would be a copy in your file. Hope you get good news today! If you do have to go the Pre-Nursing or Pre-Professional route please don't think its the end of the world. That is how the vast majority of CCHS students (myself included) get into the ADN program. Good luck!

You should go by the office tomorrow and ask about your status. They should be able to tell you since they have notified others already. Good luck!

No, I haven't heard of anyone receiving a denial letter yet. Med Term is pretty easy, just stay on top of it and don't get behind since it's online. You can take Nutrition this spring too but I would wait and take it this summer or next fall. The online section is the way to go but it is already filled for the spring. With NSG110 and BIO100 you'll be taking a total of 6 credits which is good because you pay by the hour up until 6 then you pay the same whether you take 7-11. Sounds like you are in good shape!!!

Congratulations again!!! I know a lot of the girls that will be in your class and they are awesome. You will have a lot of fun. Let me know if you have any questions, I would be happy to help you out! What classes are you taking in the Spring? Alice

Don't give up yet you guys. This is the first time they have sent out acceptance e-mails. It may or may not mean anything. Hoping the best for you : )

I know of three change of major students that got their acceptance e-mails today. . .

eligon3- I hope you get good news in the next few days - it sounds like you have worked really hard for it! If for some reason you aren't accepted to the ADN program, you may want to consider the Pre-Professional track as opposed to Pre-Nursing. There isn't a guarantee of acceptance, but after one semester at CCHS you can apply for the ADN as a change of major with a very good chance of getting accepted. I say that because it sounds like you have a lot of the pre-reqs done and you've been waiting for a while to get into a program. The Pre-Nursing program seems to be better for someone who isn't really in a hurry to start the program and doesn't have a lot of the pre-reqs completed. Yes there is that guarantee, but 1)there is a minimum grade requirement and 2)they usually won't accept A&P from other schools (even RCCC) so you would have to retake those. Hopefully you get into the ADN program for the spring and what I just said doesn't matter but please keep it in mind. I speak from my own experience in the Pre-Professional program and from that of others that I have gotten to know in your same situation this semester. If you have any questions please let me know. I would be happy to give more info. Good Luck : )

Never heard of an email before, maybe that's new this semester. Congratulations, hope you love it as much as I do!!!!

Nobody has heard yet. It will probably be after Thanksgiving based on past experience. Good luck!

I am a current student at CCHS. I have heard that they are going to accept approximately 22 students from outside the college for the Spring semester. It sounds like letters may go out right before Thanksgiving but the mail takes 7-10 days so don't expect anything until closer to the end of November. I did the Pre-professional program and then the change of major into nursing. If anyone wants any more info, let me know. It is a great school!!! Good luck to everyone applying : )

80 in our program and they will round up from 79.5. Our final grade consists of 4 tests, a paper (which doesn't even get graded unless you have an 80 average on the tests), and clinicals are just pass/fail - so they don't really factor into our grade.
