CCBC- day time nursing program

astran · Nov 15, 2015

Hey! I'm starting the Essex program in the spring. They are the same. The program takes about 4 years to complete. It can be worked into 3 years of you schedule your prereqs just right and don't need to take remedial math classes.

By it being a 2 year program isn't it just 2 years?

astran · Nov 15, 2015

The actual program is two years, four semesters. But there are approximately two years of prereqs that need to be completeted before you enter the program.

So you've been accepted into the program or your just starting prereqs? Why couldn't you start the Fall 2015 semester.

astran · Nov 15, 2015

I was accepted into the program for spring 2016! And because I didn't go to school straight out of high school, so I started during spring semester two years ago.

Good for you!! :). So you started preqs spring 2014 and now spring 2016 your doing the actual RN program? Sorry just a little confused about the length.

astran · Nov 15, 2015

Yes. It's confusing, I know. It took me a little while to understand the whole process. The length of prereqs can be shortened if you are really smart about the process (which I didn't know until it was too late) and CCBC offered a program with area universities, so you can apply to CCBC and them and get a BSN at the end of the program as well. It's called the ATB program. There is information sessions about it all the time on campus.

hazel_dreamss · Nov 15, 2015

Yes. I was considering the atb program too. I was also considering early childhood too. If I do the atb im doing Towson university

What were some prereqs you took?

astran · Nov 15, 2015

I applied for Towson ATB as well. Still waiting to hear from them. There are a lot of prereqs. Mostly sciences, but A&P 1 & 2, microbiology, General chemistry and statistics (for ATB ), english 101 and 102 and some psychology classes. I know I'm missing a bunch of stuff.

Good luck being accepted into atb. Are u Towson also? I know they offer Stevenson and frostsburg.
