   Might be a silly question, but are we to wear scrubs to class or just clinical? I didn't see it mentioned in the handbook, and contacting South Campus is like getting in touch with the President.

   There were no choices when it came to scheduling classes. All of the schedules were printed out in advance. They were then mixed up like a deck of cards and someone came around the room and you picked one. What you got is it. No changing or adjusting...

   So how did everyone's orientation go? Class schedules were literally drawn from a hat at South. I did hear that there were over 800 applications for this semester so YAY to everyone that got in. Seems like a ton of things to do in very little time. A...

   Thanks for the info! A friend of mine is also starting the program. He may be able to record the info I need if I can't make it. Good to know about the clinicals. Not sure why our letters say last five weeks of the semester.

   I seek wisdom from anyone currently or previously in the South evening/day program. I would like to know if the second orientation in Aug is mandatory or skipable. I know it provides clinical info for students. I plan on taking my family on vacatio...

   I think we should all be good. I can't imagine them giving our seat away because of the mail or fax not working. I imagine they would at least contact us via email. I agree though, there should be some type of confirmation. At the very least it would...

   Dosage calcs are given during the semester. Once you're in you're in. Sorry for any confusion, but they take people by surprise at times. Knowing how to do them prior to taking the exam is very beneficial. It seems that all of the pre nursing student...

   Dosage Calc info is provided in the student manual. I know people that failed their first attempt, so i just wanted to put it out there for everyone. Better to be prepared. I'm not sure how well the cover the material before dropping you into the exa...

    Sorry to hear that. Was it a science that you failed? The only advice I can give you is to take that class over or choose 1 or 2 classes over the summer to boost your GPA. Apply again in the fall for spring 2016 at Allegheny campus. There are several...

    Not sure we're able to do anything until after the orientation next month. In the meantime I'll be studying nursing math. If you get less than a 92% on your drug calc examine after the 2nd try your out of the program.

    Some of the letters that were sent out were mistakes. Mine said day when in fact it should have stated evening weekend. Amber Reed confirmed this with an email to a few others also.

    My GPA was 4.48 so your GPA isn't the problem. The only reason not to be accepted would be a technical error. Either a problem with your credit transfers, not having your high school records, CCAC acceptance letter etc. Hopefully you'll see something...

    Sorry to hear that. I would call on Monday to make sure, just in case! If you don't mind me asking, what was your GPA and have you completed all of your pre reqs and co reqs? How many credits have you actually received from CCAC? I'm in Allegheny cou...

    I received notification from Amber Reed that my letter may have been typed wrong. My first choice was south evening/weekend and my letter said south/day. She verified that I'm scheduled for my first choice evening/weekend. So anyone that didn't get t...
