Bergen Community College Nursing Program Question

U.S.A. New Jersey

Published

Last Thursday I was at the college for the purpose of collecting my Chemistry grade with some classmates. Apparently, there was a graduation ceremony for RN's going on that night as well, and my friends started talking to one student to ask her about the program. I didn't hear the entire conversation, but one of my cohorts told me the student had stated that ELEVEN people had failed out of NUR-181 alone during her course! :eek:

Now, there's always a chance there was some sort of misunderstanding or miscommunication, but does this sound right? For what it's worth, I would think the application process and competitiveness of getting in to the program would assure a strong student population, so it makes me nervous to hear these things. I already received some insight from someone privately, but I was wondering what the public population made of this info.

Thanks!

I hear ya.... Reason to be confused.... I swear there's no way of knowing what to expect :( An 80 is still good, above the average 76! Good luck, hopefully we'll know soon.... So hard waiting :/

How can they make a decision before thanksgiving if some of the candidates have their pre reqs in progress? What if the final grade/gpa from the prereqs at the end of the semester bumps a candidate into slot after the decision letters are sent out? Sounds to me that its heavily weighted on the HESI score, the rest are just tangible factors.

I agree, this is nerver wrecking (there must be a medical term for this) and confusing. :banghead:

Exactly. I spoke to Elsa a few weeks ago & asked her about that. She said you get accepted with the assumption that you will pass the pre-req class you're currently taking. If you fail or get a D, you are notified that you have lost your spot. So that's how we find out this week. We'd have to..... So much to do before Spring semester starts!! I guess the GPA at time of application counts.

Seriously, I can't take the anticipation any longer!!!!! T-O-R-T-U-R-E!!! Let's hope tomorrow is the day!! Has anyone received an acceptance letter yet?!?

Nothing yet :( I've been checking my e-mail/webadvisor non-stop.... I feel like I'm going to lose my mind! I just can't believe they stretch it out like this....

I just looked at Webadvisor.......... ACCEPTED!!! Go check..........

"Admitted" is what is says LOL

I'm accepted!! Yayyy!!!! CONGRATS to everyone!!!

CONGRATS RP30!!!! I'll see you in a few weeks :)!! Soooooo excited and nervous all at once!

Congrats to you too!!!! I can't wait to get the letter/packet in the mail.... Whew! Now I can actually enjoy Thanksgiving :)

Congrats everyone!! I am "admitted" too!! :yeah:

Yea!!!! So exciting.... Let's keep eachother posted, if anyone gets anything in the mail, etc. :) I can't wait... I just want to run out tomorrow & buy a stethoscope! (I won't LOL but I want to)
