1. BSMC & JTCC Spring 2011 Applicants

   FirefightersWife replied to nm483's topic in Virginia

   I looked into the Southside Regional program at one point. The biggest issue for me is I live between Richmond and Charlottesville, so it's just too far away.

   FirefightersWife replied to nm483's topic in Virginia

   Thanks! That's what I was afraid of! lol I just took one of the practice exams I bought with the study guide. I did OK on the reading and verbal. I think if I had taken more time on the math, I would have done better. I need to take another practice ...

   FirefightersWife replied to nm483's topic in Virginia

   nm483 - have you taken the TEAS for Bon Secours? I'm taking it next Saturday and I'm starting to get nervous! The biggest source of stress for me will be math and science. Neither have ever been my best subjects. How hard is it and can you use a calc...

4. BSMC & JTCC Spring 2011 Applicants

   FirefightersWife replied to nm483's topic in Virginia

   When I went in to meet with them to register, the woman I met with was new. I felt like she didn't know what she was talking about. She kept asking other counselors questions. What should have taken probably 30 minutes took 2.5 hours. Then they told...

5. BSMC & JTCC Spring 2011 Applicants

   FirefightersWife replied to nm483's topic in Virginia

   I am applying to Bon Secours. Taking the TEAS for them on the 21st. I thought about applying to John Tyler, but after getting the run around with their admissions/counseling department, I decided against it. I am also applying to J. Sarge, where I ha...

   FirefightersWife replied to portace's topic in Virginia

   Thanks! Bon Secours does have an info session coming up on July 23rd at 9AM. But it is in Richmond, and I gather from your posts you are in the Hampton area. I think there is one in August too, but I don't remember the date. I have looked into ODU, ...

7. Bon Secour Fall 2010

   FirefightersWife replied to portace's topic in Virginia

   I think I remember seeing on their website that it could take less than 4 years, probably depending on if you have a prior degree, or have already been taking pre-reqs somewhere else. They have several information sessions scheduled, that would proba...

8. RN program at MCI in Richmond

   FirefightersWife replied to tiffdeandre's topic in Virginia

   Those of you who are taking chemistry, are you taking it because you've never had it, or is it a requirement regardless? I took chem in high school, 13 years ago! So, I'm not sure if I would have to take it again if I end up at MCI.

9. What did you do while waiting to get in to NS?

   FirefightersWife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   What classes have some of you all taken in between finishing your pre-reqs and actually starting nursing school? I didn't get accepted into my school for the fall, and while I'm waiting to find out about next spring and looking into other schools, I ...

10. Kaplan Nurse Admissions Test

    FirefightersWife replied to FirefightersWife's topic in Virginia

    Just an FYI for any of you who may need to take this test...don't bother buying the study guide they have. I took the test this morning, and there was not a single math problem like any that were in the book. Make sure you know fractions, and you'll...

11. Richmond Nursing Schools

    FirefightersWife replied to cfleharty's topic in Virginia

    I'm in the same boat. My husband keeps telling me that I will have to work at least part time while I'm in school. I've been taking all of the pre-requisites at J. Sarge for the last year. I finished in December, so now can start applying to nursing ...

12. Applying to Nursing Schools

    FirefightersWife replied to hunteres26's topic in Virginia

    You could apply to J. Sarge. I think all of the courses you are taking at John Tyler would transfer since they are both part of the VCCS. I'm currently at J. Sarge, and possigly looking at applying to John Tyler as my plan b. I'm not sure how it all ...

13. Does anyone work / know someone at Patient First?

    FirefightersWife replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in Virginia

    Do they only hire RNs, or will they hire LPNs too? Their website only says nurse, but doesn't say if there is a preference.

    Bon Secours is changing their program, and it is my understanding that their next session will not start until fall 2010.
