Hello everybody and congratulations on your acceptance to the CCAC Fall 2014 Allegheny Evening Nursing program! I am starting this thread to perhaps connect with future classmates and collaborate with everybody throughout the process of orientation a...

Hello everybody. I am currently in the process of enrolling into the CCAC Fall 2014 Allegheny Evening nursing program and I am pro-actively both asking and seeking information about what opportunities are available to acquire clinical experiences in ...

See everybody tonight!

My Clinical Requirements link on Certified Profile hasa due date of 7-11-14 for everything other than the drug test. I would assume we need to get the ball rolling now. I am waiting on the physical appointment and the background checks in the mail.

Has anybody began the process of downloading and submitting ALL of the background check forms? I would like to get started now, but I am not entirely sure if they want a completed background check before a particular date?

Thank you for your time.

Some clarifications: my contacts from volunteering as an EMT on an ambulance are over 45 minutes away, not possible to capitalize on. My ability to meet other staff and faculty is second nature to me, I do exploit my position to both network and coll...

Leigh, do you work at a research institution?

Thank you for your comment, I will explore this option...further.

This is a very helpful suggestion. Exactly what kind of info I was hoping to get from this site. Now I just have to navigate through the UPMC system, since I am currently a part-time employee as an EMT/Pre Hosptal Provider, to be eligible for these p...

Thanks for the feedback. Presby ER was the place. I first spoke to the ER attending about volunteering as an ER Tech. He looked at me in my lab coat (I work in a research lab in Scaife and just walked down with a friend who is an Internist attending ...

Hmm, good question. I believe the registration is soley for nursing classes being that acceptance into the program is a prereq and your co-reqs are up to you to fill in along the way. But, I'm not sure that they also want to supervise your current an...

Ok, just spoke with the liver transplant fellow and he did say that many ICU nurse managers do not like to hear that your reason for becoming an ICU nurse is for the purpose of becoming a CRNA, because, for one it takes the hospital and unit nurses m...

Hmm, a lottery system...random...I am empathetic for you Mizz1371; and for myself of course. I rarely get what I want in a "lottery" from my experience. I guess I will just have to go with what I get then; being proactive about either an ICU PCT, or...

Thank you for the information carbon86. I'm also searching for info about any insight into the specific clinical opportunities within the program, do you by any chance know what areas are covered and where they are? Or are they different for each sem...

Thank you for the information carbon86.

Ok, I feel compelled to post these 2 new comments on this thread as the first thread we ALL began this journey on, we are all in this together : And yes, in case you were wondering from my previous statement regarding my personality...I do have both ...

And yes, in case you were wondering from my previous statement regarding my personality...I do have both Star Wars and Star Trek collectibles from my childhood tucked away to proudly share with my own children one day, love science and science fictio...

Just to give everybody a heads-up. There are very informative youtube videos about the NCLEX-RN exam. One from KAPLAN elucidates: how the exam works, what they are testing you on, what a passing score is and how it is determined by KAPLAN. I found it...

Good luck everybody and remember to learn the material, understand the concepts and apply them to patients in real life scenarios.

I don't think we will have any "semester altering" issues, just get prepared for thinking clinically; understanding the concepts and applying them to patients at a first glance. Did both of your letters come with a pink letter stating that the evenin...

Wondering the same thing Kat. Nice to hear from you. I am guessing our June 10th meeting will tell us everything we need to know. I am currently looking for an affordable, durable, waterproof watch with a second hand and bandage scissors. I am waitin...

Hello everybody, I have started a new thread for the Fall 2014 Allegheny Evening cohort: CCAC Allegheny Evening Fall 2014 Nursing Students. Feel free to collaborate moving forward, can't wait to begin the program. I will still be reading all relevant...
