Bellevue College hopefuls 2014-2015

[jaycam]

Hey everyone, I didn't see a thread for this yet so I thought I would start one.

Is anyone else applying to BC for Fall 2014/Winter 2015 cohorts? I'm getting nervous with the deadline less than two months away. I did all my pre reqs there and it's my first choice school which probably adds to the nerves a bit. Are any of you finished with the application process yet? I think it's nice that this year, the background check is after the initial application just for the sake of saving money if I didn't score high enough on my TEAS to get in.

Welcome HopefulBE! Don't stress to much. It's intense, it can be overwhelming, and I've never taken a test like it before, but it's not horrible. PocketPrep makes a TEAS app for Android and IOS that is fairly cost effective and offers you 1k practice questions that are just like the ones on the test with explanations of the questions in review. I really like it.

[hopefulBE]

Haha thanks, yea I should check it out! btw did you do your CPR on the 11th like direwolf did?

[jaycam, RN]

No, I took the HPro class with the CPR and HIV training last winter. My job also keeps me up to date on CPR and First Aid.

[hopefulBE]

oh ic. Someone from the class I took also recommended the same app, maybe it will be helpful then haha.

Hi there! I just finished my application for the BC program. I am so nervous.. It's my first choice school also. Waiting for April/May is going to be so hard.

[jaycam, RN]

Welcome! Yes, that is the hardest part for me, my number two and three schools accept spring quarter, but I have put off applying to them because I wouldn't hear back from BC before then.

Steph, what was your teas score? No point worrying if you scored well!

[hopefulBE]

I wanted to double check about the Bellevue application, it said apply to the school and had steps to fill out background information and education, etc. Then on the 4th step it said fill out the nursing online application? but mine just went to billing for the app. Is there a separate link somewhere for the nursing part?

[jaycam, RN]

Just the link on the nursing page that I know of. You apply to the school first, then complete the application.

[hopefulBE]

Oh, so just complete the required documents to send in? No essays or anything?

[jaycam, RN]

Right. You may get called in for interviews later.

[Gottmilk]

Has anyone that applied for BC actually been called in for an interview? I haven't heard of it happening.
