Keiser vs. BCC for Nursing Program in Space Coast??

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hi everyone, I know Keiser is very expensive, but I'm afraid I may have to consider it if I don't get in to the BCC, Cocoa (Brevard Community College) program for this year. I have most of my prereqs done, gone to group orientation, had the advisement session, have work experience, etc. But even with all that I barely get to "25" POINTS!! :banghead:

My question is: Is it even worth it for me to apply to the BCC nursing program? Given that you have to have at least 28 points to be considered? Anyone been accepted to BCC with 25 points or less? I have also heard is a "nasty" program... is it true?

Any insight on the Melbourne Keiser RN program? It seems at least their schedule would be easier on my four year old girl... you know 8am to 1pm Monday through Friday instead of driving to Cocoa for a 6:30am start with BCC... Heck, I wouldn't even have to take her out of her preschool if I go to Keiser, but then there is the money issue with their tuition :bluecry1:

Thanks for the reply, everything went well and I'm scheduled to take the TEAS test in a couple of weeks. I took a tour with the counselor today and met a few students that were in a lab, they all said they loved it... maybe you were there? I also noticed that you disapprove of Herzing's program. Why? What was your experience with them?

I was not there, right now, I am done with my core classes, I am finishing my preceptorship and just have 2 months left. I will be there tuesday though in the morning...

I disapprove that school for the lack of professionalism, for the poor clinical site, for the lack of student support, for the favoritism, for the terrible campus, for the outdated material and so on....

I only have to take my core classes which is great. How long did it take you to finish your core classes? The counselor said they take 16 months to complete, but that doesn't add up to me since she also said the students take one class per month (4 classes per semester) and there are only 8 classes listed for the major courses.... :confused:

we do take 2 classes per semester, so it is basically 4 semesters

gen eds are 1 per month, but core are 2 per semester!
