Bristol Community College Nursing

U.S.A. Massachusetts

Published

Hello,

I wanted to know of anyone looking into the Bristol Community College nursing program or who is currently in it or was in it.

I am still taking the competitive pre-req courses right now to be able to apply to the Fall 2011 nursing program for Bristol Community College in Massachusetts. I currently have a 4.0 GPA.

After this semester, I just need to take A&P II (summer class) and Microbiology (Fall class). After that, all of the courses I need for the nursing program are complete except for the actual nursing classes.

If I get accepted into the BCC program for the Fall 2011 class, will I only be able to take 1 nursing class/semester so it's an additional two years from Fall 2011?

Thanks for your input!

I had to call the nursing dept for something today and spoke with *******(secretary). She said that the packets were still on her desk and waiting fthey were for the labels to be put on them??? She said that they would be going out shortly and we would receive them "like in a day or two". She did say that the orientation would be very informative for us and answer all of our questions.

Thanks for the update!!

Thanks for all of the info! My mail arrives early in the morning (9-10am). I will post as soon as I see anything. Waiting patiently (again, lol).

She said the same thing to me last week. lol

Received the info packet today!!!!!!!!!!!

Orientation is definitely April 28th. It's an all-day thing. From 9am-3pm. The itinerary is included. We will be ordering uniforms ($40 deposit), advisement, orientation and "other nursing requirements". Call your doctors and make an appointment. They've included a physical exam sheet that needs to be completed and brought with you on April 28th. Also, bring photo id and $50 for CORI check.

It also talks about the 'nurse pack' we'll need. It costs $100, but won't be available in the bookstore until August.

Hopefully you all receive them today!

Thanks for the update! My mail doesn't get here til about 5 pm so will be waiting (impatiently :)

Thanks for the info!! My mail lady comes betrween 1:30P.M.-2:00 P.M.

Thanks for the update! I'm at work till 10 so I guess I'll find out then if I got it in the mail. Do you know if the 28th is the only day they are having the orientation? It's going to be hard to get that day off : ( & I had a physical about 6 months ago ... Did it say if it had to be within the last year? I would rather not have to pay for it shin of I don't have to since I'm going to be dishing out alot of money in the next few months! Lol

Thank you for the info! I'm going to check my mail now. When should we plan a get together. I think it would be nice to see some familiar faces at orientation :)

Absolutely! I am pretty much free anytime. Mornings are better, but if nights work for everyone else, I can arrange a babysitter. Let's definitely get together!!!

On the first page, it says, "Thursday, April 28th, 2011 @ 10am.... this is a required orientation for admitted new students...." , however, on the second page with the itinerary, it has everything for the 28th, then ...

7:45a - 3:00pm Room tba "Other nursing requirement"

I'm not sure if that's the make-up day or if we have to attend both days??? You will see it when you get the packet. Hopefully you can get the 28th off.

The physical exam doesn't say anything about a time frame, so if I were you, I'd call. It seems ridiculous to have to pay for a second exam when you've just had one.
