Be careful about starting a facebook page, the dean of nursing had a talk with moderators of a facebook page last semester.

I wouldn't worry about not have the hep B series done. I know ad least 10 people in my class are still working on it, including myself. As long as you can show you started it then you can start the first semester.

Be careful buying used books, all three bundles came with codes for different websites that you will need or find very helpful. ATI is required online access (you will have an ATI test you need to pass to proceed to 130/140). Prep u is helpful, espec...

(the Mods should move this to PA nursing) Welcome to Allnurses! I'm a current nursing student at CCAC Boyce fast track. To answer your questions: 1. Recommendations or any extra info (awards, employment) that is not on the application form are not re...

Last time I tried it everything was locked

I'm in group 4 on Wednesday, what about you?

Yes, from 3:00-6:00. We don't need to wear our scrubs right?

The book list is up under NUR 110... Looks like if you buy all the required new it's about $1400

I just took my drug test, they didn't ask about anything but on the receipt it says they will contact you about prescriptions or over the counter drugs you may be taking if the results are positive.

did anyone here about mandatory education at UPMC? Apparently at the North campus orientation they said about needing to do training at UPMC and it's due August 8th.

If you have a legal prescription I don't think they can say anything as long as you self report the chance of the test coming up positive. If they would kick you out of the program then it could be considered discrimination against a disability. The ...

What's that?!? I didn't hear about anything at UPMC...

It's at 3:00 at the same place we had the first orientation. We should to do the drug test this week right?

Oh, my schedule has both lectures on Monday, then the 2 labs on Tuesday and my clinical is on Wednesday. I thought the lectures were together on Monday for everyone.

I think based on how the women signing us up for classes said you need to have the lab before going to clinicals. So if your first lab is on Saturday the 23rd then you shouldn't have clinical until the 27th. That sucks with the money order, my offic...

Do you still have the receipt for the money order (the top part)? If so you can take it to any post office to see if it was cashed. If not you should be able to ad least get the $10 back.

Yes orientation the 11th! I'm so nervous and excited!

Ouch, do we know when our clinicals actually start? I'm just assuming they aren't sending us to our sites the first week, but I could be wrong. That would give you a little more time. Also does anyone know how fall break works? Would we still have cl...

I got mine back in less then 2 weeks. Of course I was fingerprinted less then a year ago when I started my job at the post office so that helped to get them faster. Did you talk to anyone from the school or CP? Weren't the fingerprints due 7/11? Try ...

yes, just the 2 step test needs completed for us to start clinicals.

You need to have 2 tests done. So a first placement and reading then 1-3 weeks later a second placement and reading. There are 2 papers that will print out. One is for the 2 step ppd test (which we do for the conditional acceptance) and the other is ...

Yes you can, you just need to let the 2nd clinic know and have proof of the 1st shot. I had my first hep b shot done at the health department and my 2nd at Concentra because my health insurance would not cover it at the health department but would at...

Did you try calling the Dept of public welfare? I sent mine on May 20th and got it back by May 31st.

I can't wait to get everything finished! I'm at the doctor's right now waiting for my physical and the second hep b shot.

How did they check if you could lift 50lbs? Or did they just ask ou?
