Bunker Hill Community College 2014 Applicants

U.S.A. Massachusetts

Published

Just wondering if there was anyone out there that is applying to the Bunker Hill Community College Nursing Program this year. I'm hopefully applying in the next application cycle after this semester of Micro, Drug Calc, and a Philosophy class. I'm looking into the night/weekend courses. Current GPA of 3.2.

Do you have to take the teas? I just got my letter saying they received everything and that was the next step

I have already taken the TEAS so I will not be taking them again. I took them at UMASS Boston in March. It wasn't too bad!

does the nursing program push meds during clinicals?

I'm pretty sure you do, but you're only supposed to with your clinical instructor right there. I could be wrong- maybe someone else can clarify. This is the impression I got when taking the required pre-req drug calc

Anyone?

Hey, congratulations, I got into Regis, too, but I deferred because my wife is in nursing school right now. I figure it would be better for me to go to BHCC nursing, if I get in.

Yes, they will schedule you on a date in October.

Hey!

Thank you for responding. Yes, I've already taken my TEAS. I took them at NSCC: Reading 76.9% Math 66.7% Science 64.6% English and Language 70%. I believe BHCC requires 47.6% in Reading, 46.7% in Math, 37.5% in Science. My math score isn't high enough to apply to the NSCC program they require a 74%. Do you know if they take TEAS scores taken at another college? They also do not state a minimum GPA for admission into program, do you know if there is a minimum GPA? I've gotten A's and B's in my math and sciences and after this semester I will have completed all Pre and Co reqs for the program.

I work and I'm also a mother of 3 so I'm looking for an idea of what days/times I'll be in class and at clinicals.

How do you like the program? Professors? Anything you did/didn't like about the program? Anything you would recommend to future students?

I'm sure you know this already, but BHCC doesn't accept TEAS scores taken elsewhere, you have to take them at BHCC. As for GPA, they look at your pre-req grades and TEAS score and whether you've completed your co-reqs (as a tie-breaker).

I don't know where you got your information from @Karatefoot but they do accept them from other colleges. I handed in my completed application months ago and went over everything with the admissions staff including my Teas scores from NSCC. They accepted everything I passed in.

Hmm, I must've gotten bad info, then. I just called admissions and they confirmed what you said. At the info session that I went to, however, it was made clear, about 4 times, that they do not accept TEAS scores from elsewhere. Sorry for my mistake, my intention was to help and not to mislead. It's been my experience with BHCC that information sometimes gets jumbled. The other parts about how different components are weighted are true, I double checked that with admissions.

That's not a problem! BHCC can be a little misleading at times which is why I ended up just going with LM/RC. I just feel a lot more comfortable and confident with their whole process.

I would like to enter the LPN PROGRA at Bunker Hill. How long does it take to complete all the prerequisite?
