  1. Workload @ your facility

    Wow, I feel fortunate. I just started as a CNA in an LTC home, on the day shift. Our ratio is 1 CNA to 5-6 residents. Its the same in the evening but overnight is 1:12. When I did clinicals in school, we were trained at a place that had a 1:8-10 rati...
  2. I have a question for those already in the nursing program. What's the schedule like? I cannot seem to find anything definitive about what life will be like in the program. When is class? When is clinical and for how many hours? I need to work full t...
  3. Many hospitals have BLS for Healthcare Providers- I took my class two years ago at Hartford Hospital. They have the one day class on Saturday and a few nights during the month. It's like $80 I think...I know CCC Continuing Ed has the classes too, so ...
  4. So i just dropped off my signed forms; and like expected, my crazy self was first. They had not even started a folder yet in Admissions or in the Nursing office... lol. Hope they get used to it now because it's how I am!
  5. I'm glad I'm not the only ambitious one out there! I am planning to drop off my papers tomorrow afternoon... physical is scheduled for Apr. 26 and I am actually due up for renewal of my CPR cert in late May so I am scheduling that for early May! I ac...
  6. I am sure if you show proof that you are starting it, they will accept that. I think I got that one back in HS... I cant remember. I hope so!
  7. And I printed everything so they can't take it back! haha
  8. Still in! YAY!
  9. I got into CCC. My orientation is June 14. Any other CCC'ers?
  10. I had the same coding issue in my letter.... I hope they post it soon- dont we have to decide by May 1 and then get all these add'l things done by Jun 14? I am already making a list of what I have to and by when!
  11. Link disappeared for me too... at 4 30, it said I was accepted to CCC. Now I'm paranoid.... that'll be embarrassing if it was wrong, I told everyone.
  12. oh yay, the computer exemption test doesnt count towards the GPA calculation! I took the test to wipe out a C- in Intro to Programming that I took over 12 years ago... but then I was afraid that they would take the test score (87) and count that as m...
  13. I think I need to step away from mycommnet... it's just making me go more crazy. It will happen when it happens... there I sound at least a little more sane. Although I think the fact that I just googled "what is technically considered mid-month" mak...
  14. I'm glad I read this- I didn't realize about the acceptance "letters" this year... I would have been going crazy in April!! I am just as crazy as you are- I check all day long to see if my GPA has been calculated. All of my reqs are showing as met, ...
  15. Well I feel better. I spoke with Admissions and my fears are eased! I also heard back from **********, and was told the same thing. Right now, they are reviewing the applications, inputting all the transfer classes and calculating the nursing GPA. N...
  16. Well if my transcripts are showing up as received on May 8, 2011 and February 23, 2011, and the composition and computer classes are on those transcripts, I think its safe to say I made it in time for the Feb. 1, 2013 cutoff. But still I am going ove...
  17. Well, that's not comforting. I just got an autoreply/out of office message from ***********************. I guess I know what I am doing during my lunch hour today! Time to trek over to CCC!
  18. You know its wierd though, my transcripts just showed up last week, so I think they are still processing things. I submitted everything on November 1, so its not like I was last minute with getting things in. I had emailed my advisor back around Fe...
  19. I emailed her and the general email address as well. Thanks for replying- I think I needed to hear from someone else that my worries are worth bugging them! Everyone else I talk to has said, don't worry, it'll be fine. But this is my future they are ...
  20. I am nervous because two things (composition and computers) are still "missing" from my checklist. Yet they have my transfer records and the results of my computer exemption test. Is anyone else having this issue? I'd feel better it if it wasn't just...
  21. They have put the nursing application status/checklist up on mycommnet for those that have been anxiously waiting like i have!
  22. Which micro class are you taking? That's also my last req.! can I tell you, after i read your message, I went and checked my application to make I checked the right year and semester! I'm so paranoid about things being processed correctly!
  23. I would assume they have to let us know before Feb. 1 when applications closed. My advisor had told me they would have things up right away in November but then when I applied, the email I received indicating my paperwork was received said they would...
  24. This wait is nerve-racking! Applied to CCC for the fall. Waiting now for the admissions office to put up our credentials online so we can review and cross check. I am weary because I have transfer credits and have already had a few snags (that were...
