Student Applying to NVCC For Nursing Program Starting in Fall 2013

U.S.A. Virginia

Published

Hi Everyone!

I really wanted to begin a thread about NVCC's Nursing Program due to begin in Fall 2013 (Applications are due May 2013). I am starting my pre-reqs in January, because I have been in school elsewhere. I know it will be tight to get them completed in time to apply, but I want to be considered in time for the Fall 2013 program.

For anyone who has applied and been accepted to NVCC's nursing program, or for anyone who plans to in May, will you tell me what your credentials were (GPA, TEAS score, any certifications etc)? As in, if you could describe the perfect nursing school application, what would it include?

I want to do this right! Any support/insight is great.

Is there a facebook group for the traditional program 2015 yet?

I also received an email from [moderator edit of name] stating that the correct mandatory orientation date is Monday, July 22nd, 2013, from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM.

^we have already established that. We really need to make a facebook group for our class. The problem is that some nursing program from Conneticut calls themselves "NVCC nursing class of 2013/2015", we have to create a unique name for ours on facebook. Any ideas?!

Then I suggest that you name it "NOVA Nursing Program", since NVCC is commonly referred to as "Nova".

Congratulations to all of you who got in, as I remember how it felt for me 3 years ago. For those who did not get accepted, hang in there, keep taking courses to improve your competetiveness, and hopefully, next time will work for you.

To Summer03,

It appears that clinicals are scheduled on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Is that correct?

Also, what is the first date of the NUR 111 class? It appears that the class is on Mondays from 1:00 to 3:30 PM and the laboratory is on Fridays from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM, so there should not be any nursing classes on the first day of the semester, Wednesday, 21 August 2013, and the first day of NUR 111 class will actually be Friday, 23 August 2013. Am I correct?

NOVA EMT seems to have some nice statistics when it comes to class sizes, perhaps he can help you with that :)

Based upon my research, each entering traditional nursing class has a maximum of 200 seats. However, the nursing program usually only accepts about 150 new students because it has to provide seats for the LPNs who join the program later on and to accommodate traditional nursing program students who fail courses and then have retake those courses. If anyone has more accurate information please share it with us.
