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!

Yeah, their prices are outrageous! I'm going to check out amazon and Ebay for lots of them. Thank you!!!!

i ordered a few from amazon. Just be careful, some of the books do come with CD's that you could use as study guides, and used books might not have em. Even brand new they are cheaper than the book store...

Did anyone receive an email stating that our orientation started at noon? I replyed as I thought our orientation was 2-4 Wednesday but haven't heard back. I just ask because I have made arrangements with my job around the 2-4 time frame that was given to us initially.

Apparently we have a 'health professionals' orientation first at noon. I had no idea- thought was simply 2-4. Oh well, see everyone Wednesday!

Yeah I was confused by that as well... I guess I'll be there at 12

It's quiet in here, everyone like orientation? I got my books, just haveto finish a few odds and ends... I started reading, the math is easy, so far..just got to practice metric conversions, always had trouble with that, Question for the "upper classmen" , are we allowed to keep notes on our clipboards for conversions, or any info to make sure we dont screw up in clinical?

Hi,

I am going into level 3, and in my experience we were allowed to keep whatever information we found helpful on our clipboards for clinical. However, clinical is fast paced and you don't always have time to refer back to your notes.

My suggestion is to re-read your notes after lecture each day. Make sure your work doesn't get ahead of you.

Good luck.

thanks J83087, good luck in level 3, Im sure you'll do fine!

What section is everyone in?

I'm currently finishing up chem 101 for summer u and then I'll apply for the evening nursing for BCC. I didn't apply yet but does anyone know of any good books to get to study for the HESI or what portions are generally harder for most people? And how soon did you know you were accepted into the program?
