Carolinas College of Health Sciences Pre-Nursing/Nursing

U.S.A. North Carolina

Published

Hi guys!

I have applied for Carolinas College of Health Sciences pre-nursing and nursing programs for the fall 2013. After applying I recieved a letter stating that they were also going to consider me for the summer pre-nursing term even though at the time I had no idea they even had a summer program (therefore my application was processed after the summer pre-nursing application deadline but if I got in I would still be very happy!). I was wondering, if I do not get into the pre-nursing summer program or the nursing program for the fall, am I going to find out if I got into the pre-nursing program for the fall in the same letters or is that all in all a seperate letter in itself!? Just wondering if anyone could let me know that would be great! Very anxious to hear back!!

Thankyou! I hate this waiting process..! I am living in Florida right now and I have completed my pre-reqs here, A&P 1 & 2.. Micro.. etc. so itd be ideal for me to go straight to nursing, but I will take what I can get. I have heard some really great things about the school and I would just really love to attend.

The school is amazing and has the best reputation in the area. We get the best clinical selections and our grads are consistently chosen before any of the other schools. It was the ONLY school I applied to so I'm feeling very blessed that I was selected. GOOD LUCK!

Unfortunately my GPA wasn't competitive enough to get into the program for Fall 2013 and I suppose I didn't actually apply to the pre-nursing program on time so I am on the after deadline list at the moment. Chances are looking pretty slim that they will call and say they have a spot for me, but I am trying to stay positive. I am re applying for the pre-nursing program to begin in spring because I really would love to attend the school and boost my GPA so I can earn a guaranteed spot into the nursing program. Did you go straight to nursing or did you do their general studies courses first?

I did their pre-nursing program. Since I was an early childhood major, I already had all of the non-science classes finished.

oh okay, do you mind me asking what your GPA was going into their pre-nursing program? That is really cool you were an early childhood major, are you planning on going into pediatrics? Thats my plan, I mainly want to go into nursing to specialize in pediatrics. CCHS is still my number one choice at this point but I am of course looking at other schools as a back up. I like the idea of living in North Carolina, as someone living and going to nursing school there do you have any insight on any other schools in that area or state worth looking into? Thanks for your advice (:

My GPA was 4.0 when I applied to the pre-nursing program and so far I've maintained a 4.0 at CCHS. Mercy School of Nursing is a sister school of CCHS and also affiliated with Carolinas Healthcare System. Queens/Presbyterian SON is keeping their BSN program but have cancelled their ASN program due to low NCLEX pass rates (they were put on probation but couldn't get the pass rate up). CPCC (the community college) also offers an ASN program but it doesn't have the best reputation. UNCC has a BSN program as well.

I don't think any semester for pre-nursing is more competitive than another. It's pretty competitive no matter what. ;) Pre-nursing was definitely the right route for me. The majority of my classes from my previous major transferred (ENG, SOC, PSY, etc) so that was a huge relief. Since I didn't have any sciences to transfer, the pre-nursing program was perfect for me! I took the required A&P 1 and 2, math/dosage calculations, and med term classes and earned guaranteed admission. I took micro in the fall since there is an "off" semester between pre-nursing and nursing. Now, the only class I have is the nursing class...which believe me, is MORE than enough! It's 4-5 days a week with 2 days being ALL DAY and then hours and hours of studying and preparing for clinicals once you get home. The hardest schooling I've ever had but it is so worth it!

Hi RunnerRN, I am planning to apply to CCHS for Spring 2014.. but I haven't decided yet if I want to apply for Nursing or Pre nursing. If I apply as Nursing and I'm not accepted, will they automatically consider my application for Spring pre-nursing? Do you have any tips? Also it sounds like you did pre-nursing.. do they have a summer semester and if so, would I be able to start in spring, do the summer semester, and then (hopefully) start the actual Nursing curriculum Fall 2014? Sorry for all the questions:)
