BCC Nursing Fall 2017

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey guys! Wanted to start a thread for those applying for Fall of 2017 at Bristol Community College! What other programs are you applying too? Traditional or eHealth? GPA and points? Can't wait to hear about everybody else. I've read all of the other years threads and I must say I'm so happy to finally be able to be involved in one! So excited for everybody! Can't wait to hear from you.

Hi Lida1988,

Welcome to the USA! I am a huge supporter of community colleges. I believe they offer a solid education at an affordable price, while also having many resources for first generation college students (I was one) and those with English as Second Language (ESL) as many of my classmates were.

I would highly recommend taking all of your prerequisite courses at BCC and then applying for their associates degree nursing program. I'm a recent grad and can attest to how well they prepare you and how strong of a reputation they have in local hospitals. Regardless which program you choose, it is critical to take any required English coursework. The amount of material you have to learn in nursing school is very intense, a few of my classmates were ESL and really struggled having to work at translating on top of studying.

It doesn't hurt to apply to multiple schools. I applied both to Massasoit's and BCC's nursing programs.

Each college/program has its own rules on what is required to be considered for admission. Here is the link that has information on BCC's requirements: Bristol Community College - Nursing Career

History is not required to apply, you can take it after being accepted. That being said, I highly recommend completing all classes except for nursing coursework before being accepted as you would either have to take them over the summer or along with nursing classes which is nearly impossible with the workload. I would recommend you contact the admissions department at BCC, they are extremely helpful and would be a good resource to guide you through the application requirements.

Thank you so much! Do you already work? Is it easy to find a job in this area?

I have been hired by a local hospital. The BCC name carries a very strong reputation in the community. Hospital jobs can be difficult to get, but I haven't talked to one graduate that hasn't been able to get a job offer between community facilities and hospitals.

Thank you so much ! I wish you good lunch with you career !

Thank you, you as well! If I can be of any help along the way, please feel free to private message me!
