Nassau Community College : Anyone Applying for Spring 2011

Hey! im also applying to NCC for Spring 2011 but im not sure yet if im applying for the Day or Evening program. Ive just heard so many things about how hard it is to get into and I'm not sure how well i'd stand in the evening program.

I have all pre-req's except for MicroBiology and I have a 3.83 GPA right now.

Hi Ladies!!

I applied last week and am hoping for the best! My GPA is 3.91 however I'm currently taking A&P II and psych 216. I'm hoping to take medical micro in summer even though I've spoken to students who advised against it.

Stay positive and keep me posted

Why would taking Mirco-Biology not be good for summer classes??

I hear they reject students who took remedial classes, which leaves me out of the running.

My daughter had to take a remedial reading when she first started NCC.....now she is a nursing student.

So where ever you heard that ,it is not true

Annor - PM me..who is your daughter I wonder if she is in my class

Hi guys and gals. Just a lil bit of info, take it as you will. I applied to the nursing program in the spring of 2 semesters ago with a science GPA 0f 4.0 my overall GPA was a 3.85 i had all of my pre and co-requisites done with several honors classes. I got rejected from the program. Other friends of mine got in with lesser GPA's and less credits??? Anyway dont knock your chances before you get that letter. Apply and wait it out. Nassau has weird ways of picking their Nursing students and its not just (GPA(science), Residents, amount of credits) like they say.

It was a blessing in disguise, i started the nursing program at Stony Brook this semester.

For the person thinking about Med Micro in the summer. If your dedicated it's not that bad. I did Med Micro and A+P II in summer 1 and 2. and got A's.

I drive to Stony Brook 4 days a week and it sucks but getting out with a BSN ( oh yeah Stony Brook has a two year BSN if you have 57 credits specific to what they want) is soo worth it.

AAS's are getting jobs but BSN's are getting better ones and more of them. And RN's from reputable schools are getting them before cummunity colleges. A lot of people say NCC is a great RN school, till you get out of the NCC circle then other people tell you that it really isnt.

Hey everyone! well, i decided to apply for the day program. I applied the first week of October.

Good luck to all of you.

Does anyone know when they start sending the letters out?

I took all my pre recs at Nassau, but decided to go for the bsn program instead since I already had 60 credits. good luck to everyone who applied.

@EMT Native-Nassau is a very respected institution. You will find that many of the nurses in leadership positions you come across are NCC graduates. I'm thinking your take on NCC is really sour grapes. Also, if you look at the pass rates for the NCLEX, NCC students pass at nearly a rate of 90% so their nurses are very prepared both to work and to pass the boards. Stony Brook students pass rates are almost 50% less than that of NCC's. What I think the lesson to be learned regarding which school you go to is that it is what YOU make of it. The truth of the matter is that the BSN is the preferred degree status right now, this is dictated by the job market in NY-this does not necessarily hold true for places outside of New York. Several students from NCC have found jobs in the New York area. As you could have guessed I am a NCC nurse. I graduated in May. I am about to start my second round of interviews with NSLIJ.
