I haven't heard about them changing to a two year curriculum yet (it's currently 3 years for the nursing program). If you did good on the TEAS at CCBC then you will probably do good on it again if you reapply for Coppin. Good luck
Thanks for the info...this year it seemed like they were pretty late with everything. They didn't start testing until June and had dates available through the end of July! But I applied to CCBC to start in Spring 2010. I feel like if I get in by the grace of God, I should just accept my seat there and do RN to BSN later. I just want to start as soon as possible but at the same time, if I could knock the BSN out at the same time, that would definately be a better choice. I liked Coppin, but I felt like they are so disorganized...there were times where I felt like I was processing my application. The good thing was once you brought something to their attention, they would fix it immediately.
Also, how good/bad is their financial aid office? I used to work with this one girl that goes there(she is not in the nursing program) but I remember her telling me in January, when she was about to start the spring semester that she still hadn't gotten her refund check from the fall! I will be relying on loans to pay bills like my car note and other living expenses(I'm assuming I won't be able to work very much while I'm in the program)...and I don't have any help from family or anything so I will be relying on that refund check to get by. I don't think it would be feasable for me to wait 4 months for a refund check.
