Bergen Community College Day Program

Published

So, I just got past my application with Bergen and have submitted to my background check. I know there is nothing there that is going to come up so I wanted to ask some questions about the test. Is it the NET test? For which ever test it is what is the best way to prepare for it.

If I get into the program I was wondering if anyone knew if my credits from a pervious college would transfer over or would i have to take the classes over. I have my math, psychology, sociology, and some other classes from a 4 year college I had gone to and left for the Bergen Nursing program because my previous school didn't have. If anyone has any sort of tis or anything I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Did u guys see the form to buy the kit. It's for January do u think we can use that one? Also the uniform do we have to go there to try it on? I heard the stethoscope is not included on the kit that we buy so we have to purchase it separatly.

What section are u guys registering for?

Ha wow I just made my schedule and it looks like I'm going to be at school every hour of every day lol.

I think that the January form is fine. Your probably better off trying on the uniform, just to make sure.

For the nursing classes I'm registered in the following...

For Physical Assessment: 001

For Pharm: 001

For Basic Skills: 003

We have anything together?

Cool, if you look now at the form for the kit they updated it to July. I have phys. assesment and pharmacy 001 and basic skills 001 also. At least we have the first two together.

I am so excited to start!

Ooh okay thanks! And yeah at least I'll sort of know someone in one of my classes :)

I got my uniforms today!

I just have a little problem with registering for any class to CPR...how did u guys do it?

Hey! well here's what I did...

1. go to www.americanheart.org

2. On the left hand side, click where it says CPR & ECC. A little box will appear.

3. Click on Find a CPR Class (ECC Class Connector)

4. Scroll down and enter in your zip code and the distance you are willing to travel (mile radius). Click the tiny calender by end and select the last possible date you are willing to take this class. Click submit.

5. On the scroll down menu select the class that you need. We need BLS for Healthcare Providers I believe. Click submit.

6. All the courses that are available with the guidelines you set will appear. Make sure to check the date, location, and time, then click reserve. From there it varies depending upon which company is issuing the class, but they will send you individual directions.

I hope that helps some!

For the unifors, you went in person?

Thanks that was very helpful. I'm going on Saturday at 8!

Yes I did go in person because u have t try them on and be aware that u are going to spend like 200 bucks!

They have the shoes and the stethoscope that u have to get which was good plus ur name tag comes with it also.

I just have to get the physical and send the check for the kit and I'm all set!

Hey guys it's been a while since anyonw has posted anything here. How are you guys doing on your progress? Which classes did u guys register to?

I was wondering if we need to bring the books to class, they are 8 huge heavy books and if we do need to bring them, Im definetly having a broken back :pumpiron:

Yeah! Same here...haven't really heard from anyone.

Did everyone get in? If not, are you guys still going to persue it?

We probably do have to bring to class...from browsing this website the one thing I seem to notice is that everyone has to carry a bunch of stuff lol.

I am probably going to fing a rolling backpack lol, I used to make fun of those people and apparently I will be one of them :roll

How u doing sfinn with your progress?

I was wondering what exactly do we need to bring as a proof of the . I only got an email with the policy number, so I think that's sufficient.

You know what I was thinking... there are 3 sections that we can choose with 25 spots in each, does that mean that only 75 people got in?

lol I always made fun of those people too...but I think that I might actually take someones advice that I saw on this website, debinding the books and only bringing the relevant chapters to class. At least for the larger books maybe.

I'm doing good. I have some more books to buy, but I have to wait until I get paid :) All I have left to do is order my uniforms.

As for the , I asked them to mail me something. I'm pretty sure as long as you give a policy number you're good though. That's what mainly shows that you do have insurance.

I agree...I think only 75 people got in, which is crazy considering I heard that well over a thousand people applied.

Also, my name is Stephanie. I figured since we'll have class together it might be helpful to know each others names.

It is nice to meet you Stephanie!

I can only say that we are extremelly priveledged to be in this program and I am very thankful that I got in it!

My name is Isabella and I can't wait to start and actually meet you personally. We have a long road ahead of ourselves
