WOW!!!! I thought this website was here to offer advise or experiences from others to grow from. I know from now on not to post anything else here. You know nothing about me or my situation. Its easy to criticize and act all big when your on the other side. I didn't right this post to be attacked about your accomplishments. I wrote this post because someone that I trust suggested some things to me and to get feedback from other students that may have been rejected. In no way shape or form has this broken me or made me not want to still be a nurse. It has done the opposite. Since you want to attack my intelligence, I am a very educated woman with several other certifications, a degree, self employed, and I have a license in another field. Oh, and by the way my GPA is a 3.3. This post was not for you or anyone else to feel as though they have the right to look down on me. I hope you don't treat your patients and their families like this in the field!!! You take care and much success to you and yours:)

I'm not going to let any of this hold me back. My reason for being here today is to inform my fellow classmates. If you have other schools in mind look into them. Their website can say one thing all day while the college does another. The PAX test applicants are the perfect example of not keeping the students informed about changes. They make changes overnight, don't tell you and they reject your application. I am speaking from hard core experiences. What ever information you found on the website was not there before the students applied for that term. Its only on there now because they have to explain what they did to the students and maintain professionalism.

You still have to inform students of changes. You can't change the rules after they apply. If students were properly informed they would of better prepared themselves for the fall 2012 term and the students who took the PAX had no shot at all. If students just keep walking away and not making the campus accountable then the same thing will happen to students who apply in 2013. It's not about winning any money is about putting the schools conduct in the application process on blast. It could take 50 years in court but at least all future students would know what CCAC is really about, and to seek other options because the chances of getting into there nursing program are not good. And only a fool would still attend a school that they sue. Its academic suicide.

I am outraged at how bad things are getting for the pre-nursing students at CCAC. They change policies about the classes in the middle of the night and don't tell anyone and trying to get correct information from advisement is not gonna happen. I am posting this information to empower those who have been done wrong. The students who applied for the 2012 fall nursing program and where rejected need to ban together and file a class action lawsuit against the school. The current flow chart that was just revised around the end of 2011 shows that the only classes needed to apply to the nursing program are as follows: math 80 and 90 English 89 and 100 (if applies) college reading (if applies) into to biology chemistry 109 or 110 or if you passed with a "C" or better in high school you don't have to take it These classes are all to the left of the solid black line so this would mean that the classes listed above are you prereqs and the classes to the right of the solid black line are classes that you can take along with the nursing classes. Most students who applied believed that they met the above criteria and had a GPA of at least a 2.8 or better. They only had 300 seats so here's what they did and this is where the lawsuit comes in. They secretly gave credit to the students that already took microbiology, a&p 1 and a&p 2 and gave them extra points depending on the grade they received. So for example if your GPA was a 4.0 and you recieved an "A" in those three classes you got .75 points x 3. So this means your GPA went from a 4.0 to a 6.25. That 6.25 GPA was there starting point for applicants. If you had anything less than maybe a 3.6 GPA or so you never had a chance. I believe those rejection letters can be chaallenged based on students not being properly informed on the application requirements. The students that took the Pax test and passed it right before they eliminated the test and received rejection letters based on there GPA should also ban together and sue. When they eliminated the Pax they raised the GPA requirement up from I believe a 2.7 (I'm not 100% positive) or what it was to a 2.8 and those students received rejection letters because they were not told before they applied that they changed the GPA requirement. Again, they secretly changed the application requirements. Here's what they should of did and this is where the lawsuit comes in. The students should of been given a waiting period where the new requirement would not effect them because they already met the old requirements when the changes where made, giving them a chance at getting into the nursing program. I'm guessing the number of seats vs the number of applicants may be the motivation behind these practices and future applicants should consider other schools. Those students that are in the two categories above, I strongly urge you to stand up for yourself. Don't allow CCAC to get away with this because its wrong.

Hello all, I was considering taking medical terminology. I was advised it will help me a lot with future classes. I see a lot of internet classes for this course at my school. My question is could I be successful with this class if I take it online or would it be better to learn it in a classroom?

Hello, Does bio med terminology class help prepare you for a&p class. Does anyone know anything about this class? Bio med terminology and medical terminology, is there a major difference?
