Hello. This is my first post here. I am starting my first day at Bergen Community College in Paramus tomorrow evening. I know there are a few here who are also starting the evening program. I have a few questions.

What do we bring with us on the first day? I assume no uniform as that is only for the hospital? Do we bring any of our books? I have so many books and do not want to lug them if it is not needed.

Anything else I should know?

thanks!

Hey, I have been trying to get in Bergen's nursing program but apparently a 3.6 gpa is too low its so competitive. Congrats on getting in. How was you first day/week?

So far, so good.

As for getting in, your GPA has little to do with it. You need only a 3.0 or something. But, you need to complete the pre-reqs (depending on day or evening) and pass the entrance exam. Thats where it gets conmpetitive. Go to advising and meet with an advisor who knows about the progam. If you want to start days in the fall, you need to apply by March 1st and if you want evenings in January, you apply by Oct 1st. Good Luck
