Hello All PPCC Nursing Students!

Please find attached (Spring 2013 Student Communication) an outline of important dates to prepare for the Spring 2013 semester: 

  • Deadlines for TB, CPR and hospital specific forms.
  • Dosage calculation test dates for the current NUR 106/NUR150 students.
  • Faculty advisor information for the current NUR 109 students.

You will not have your individual clinical schedules until the 2nd week in December.  However, clinical site computer training and orientation dates are provided.  This is to give you an idea of the dates you need to keep open until you receive your Spring clinical schedules. 

Please speak to your course instructors immediately if you have any questions or concerns.  The nursing faculty has the same winter break that students have and the nursing department office staff has very limited information related to your course/clinical specifics.  The nursing office will be closed from December 24th, 2012 - January 2nd, 2013 at 8:00 am.

Check your PPCC student e-mail accounts weekly during the winter break for any program changes or information updates.  Any information on D2L “disappears” on December 30th, 2012, so plan ahead and copy any and all materials posted as soon as possible!

Thank you,
