I am nervous about doing well in the nursing program - I too heard that you need to get 78%, and above, to be considered a 'pass'. I was able to do well on my pre-reqs but know that critical...

Hi everyone, I am Marian, and I have truly enjoyed getting to know you over the last few months. I am a 37 year old mother of two - both kids (5 and 9) will be in school this coming fall, so I am...

Hey Caligirl, thanks for clearing that up - I should check the details! Meliflor, thanks so much for setting up the new thread!

So, I saw yesterday that there is a NVCC Nursing class 2014 on FB already ... anyone have info on it? I am not savvy enough to know how to send a message to the admin person for the group. My...

Congrats, Copacetic! Its been a long few months since your initial post in January, but the wait is over! Now, to get down to all that paperwork etc. and complete it in time. Happy celebrating :dance:

Woohoo! I just got my email! This is what it must feel like to win an Oscar, or a Grammy. I feel as if I need to deliver an acceptance speech ... but I won't. CONGRATULATIONS to all of you who...

Thanks guys. I am glad it was resolved!

Oh, the drama! To those of you who have been following my angst ridden application journey, thank you for your support and encouragement. It was due to your urging that I called Mrs. Vito and...

Copacetic, I will let you know - I think the ones who sent in their applications early are all at the bottom of the pile!

CaligirlinVA, No - I received no such email or letter. TrulyBlessed1, I will call on Monday and speak to Mrs ****. Thank you everyone for your encouraging words and advice. Wow! What a nutty week I...

Thank you LPN-RN2012 for the encouraging words. TrulyBlessed, I haven't called but I did email Mrs **** in April enquiring about the confirmation email, she replied then that she was going through...

I am a little nervous now: I sent in my application for the traditional RN in Feb, and still have not received an email! I have a 4.0 and got 96 overall in the TEAS, so I feel I am competitive but...

The practice tests will prepare you well for the actual TEAS test, they are similar. There is a timer, at the top of the page, to help you keep track of time. You sound as if you have prepared...

Thanks ncy28, need to find some comic relief! I am sure this thread will get more attention around the end of this month and early June.

I wish they had something like the Domino's online pizza tracker: You can check the progress on your pizza, from when the order is placed to when it is ready for delivery. Wouldn't that be great? I...

An update for those entering the program: If you didn't already know this: Your letter that states an 'acknowledgement of receipt' will come in the form of an email. I have not received mine yet, but...

I have 2 kids (4 and 8), and have been completing my pre-reqs for the past two years. I have been taking community college courses and have really enjoyed learning again! If you're concerned about...

Thank you for posting this thread. I was wondering about balancing studies and family - I will be starting classes this Fall. I have tried to complete as many co-requisites as I can but will still...

I will be 39 when I graduate from the ADN program, 40/41 when I (hopefully) get my BSN. Initially, I was self-conscious about my age but as I progressed through my pre-reqs I realized my age and life...

I think its the 'not knowing' that is nerve wracking! I did some perusing and came across some posts by other nursing students who responded to a question about the GPA level required for nursing...

I am sorry you're frustrated, but I have to agree with ckh23: In the end, you're responsible for the work to be learned. I have had some wonderful instructors, and others who I found to be useless...

How competitive is your program? How do they use the TEAS score? The one I am applying for is very competitive and requires us to achieve a 78 on all sections and your percentile is how they rank...

Thanks, copacetic. I had delivery confirmation for my paperwork, but I agree, it would be great if you got something from them to say the packet was received, and being processed etc. I guess we'll...

I handed in my application end of Feb. I am trying to finish as many co-reqs as possible, but will probably still have to take a couple along with my core nursing classes. I am finding that I am...
