Questions about entering CCAC nursing program

Published

Hi! I am a student doing pre-nursing in CCAC right now. I always have those questions in my mind but all of my friends are doing pre-nursing now. I have no one to ask about these questions. Can anyone help? Thanks a tons!

1. Why do you choose CCAC nursing program?

2. When did your nursing program start?

3. Are you an international student?

4. Do you know any international student who is in nursing program?

5. Which campus did you choose?

6. Which campus do most people like to apply? Why?

7. From your perspective, how high will the GPA and TEAS test scores be accepted in CCAC nursing program?

8. Do you know anyone fail to enter CCAC nursing program? If yes, do they transfer to other schools or do you know to what kind of program they transfer?

10. Will you approach higher education after graduation?If yes, which school do you prefer? If no, which hospital or company do you plan to work?

1. It was the cheapest out of all the schools I’ve searched

2. Started in fall 2018

3. No

4. Not sure

5. Allegheny

6. Can’t tell, we barely see people in other campus

7. TEAS don’t matter (at least it wasn’t when I applied). GPA matters

8. I don’t know anyone but I know people who didn’t get their first choice campus

9. Yes, probably AHN because I hate upmc

Let me know if you have more questions!

1. It was the cheapest and the most convenient for me.

2. August 2018. I graduate in May if all goes well.

3. No.

4. We have two international students, one is from Africa and I'm not sure where the other is from.

5. Allegheny. Keep in mind that you can choose a preference but they can put you wherever they want to.

6. We don't see many other students. We get a lot of transfers from other campuses so probably Allegheny.

7. I don't know the cutoff but I had a 3.2 gpa and an 80 on the TEAS. I got my first choice of campus (Allegheny, evening).

8. Our instructor told us there were eight applicants per seat, but I don't know anyone personally who didn't get in. We've had about 1/3 of our original class (40 students) fail at least one class, and I know four that dropped the program. One is working on going to Shadyside.

9. I am transferring to Cal U for my BSN after I graduate, and then I'm going straight to grad school after, but I don't know which graduate program yet. I work for the VA and have a scholarship through them, so I will continue working there for at least 3 years.
