Anyone for KBCC Spring 2011 program?

U.S.A. New York

Published

I applied for the Spring 2011 program at Kingsborough and took the NLN on January 7th. Anyone else looking to get into that program?

I believe they're accepting 100 students out of about 130 or so that took the nln. So I believe your chances of getting in are pretty good (especially with that gpa). We're all just sitting tight as of now. I spoke to the nursing dept this morning and they said they're going to make the decisions sometime this week. Hopefully not going to be too much longer of a wait...

The waiting is driving me maddddd!

Just curious, is it the prereq gpa they are looking at or overall? I was pretty sure it was the prereq but someone told me overall.

Wow only 130 people took the test.. thats alot less than usual. The less the better I guess. :)

Hi everybody, I have question. I have admitted for spring 2011 in Medgar evers college/ A am going to take pre-req for nursing program but the problem that, I can take NLN exam only in March. I think , may be better to transfer all my pre-req to KCC for Fall 2011. Who knows , can I take NLN exam outside the college ? and were I should take it? Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you have to take the NLN exam in Kingsborough if you are applying to their nursing program

Yea, I was going to say the same thing. You have to take the NLN while at Kingsborough, and I believe that if you weren't enrolled in any clinical program at another school, you will have to take SCI 25, which would have to be done this semester to get into the Fall 2011 one. Its a required prereq for Kingsborough only. It prepares you pretty dam well for the NLN. That;s just what I think, so if your serious, go to M101 and speak to an adviser, because I could very well be totally wrong. Amanda Kalin is the best, but she is the head of the office, so it might be difficult to speak to her. Anyone there will be able to help. Good luck

Oh, I forgot to ask everyone, did anybody utilize any letters of recommendation from professors and such? A few of my professors said they would write them for me, but I never pursued it, and I wonder if it would have helped. I feel stupid because usually every bit helps, but maybe KBCC Nursing doesn't care about letters of recommendation.

At no point in the admission process was I asked for recommendation letters. I keep them handy if need be.

You have a friend in the program, right? Does he know if we are going to need them at any time?

Ive received 3 texts already this morning asking if I heard anything yet. Everyone is on pins & needles...

As far as I know, he didn't use any letters of recommendation. I will ask him today and respond if I am wrong, but he never once mentioned that to me. It was actually other classmates in SCI 25 and BIO 11 & 12 that said they were going to try and get letters, that's where I got the idea from. I am thinking about calling the department and asking them, but honestly, they aren't really the nicest people all the time to deal with, in my experience. LoL, I have been told that once you actually get into the program, they are much nicer to you.

Oh and a tidbit I read on other forms on allnurses.com, keep checking your degree audit. From what I have read, it will state that your major is nursing before you get the letter! Not 100% sure if that's true, but its worth looking at every now and again. Log onto ESims, and close to the bottom/middle of the page, click on degree audit. Your log in information is set as your Social Security Number as a user name, and your birthday as day, month, two digit year (012511 = today's date format) as the password, if you didn't know that already. Currently, mine still says "Undeclared Nursing", and I believe it will say just "Nursing" when accepted. Good luck all!
