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!
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.
Yeah, it really isn't fair. Some students only having 1 week - 2 weeks (you and I and countless others I'm sure) and other students have 2 months....I'd love to know how they came to go about it that way. And if they think that is fair then I think they should also take that into consideration when looking at the scores -- if you and I both scored above 85% then I think that should be regarded as highly as someone scoring a 95% that took the exam in late May....but I doubt they will do that for us! LOL!!!
I'm nervous too =*( But I am trying not to think about it...nothing can be done at this point except the law of attraction -- imagine yourself already accepted and you will be ;-) Well, at least I'm trying!!!
UKgirl7655... u have the right spirit about imagining yourself in the program and you will be...I, like many of you bcc nursing hopefuls received my letter in march and was told i had to take it in the middle of april, had no time to study and only scored an 80.13% but lets cross our fingers and pray we get in!!! Also to Fisherman...I have been reading your notes and you offer great advice all the time!!!
moojie if u want to do something this summer take the cpr class to get that out of the way if you have not already...just think.... if you do get in that is one less thing on that list you will have to do!! :)
Haha, well of course I have to do the CPR class, silly! I meant like, for an overall summer experience to lead into the Nursing courses...I want to start getting into the field so I can be at least minorly familiar with the setting...you know? Tomorrow I think I am going to call up some hospitals in my area and see if they want a volunteer. My sister-in-law did this while in high school, so I can not see this as being an issue...:)
hey guys... good thing fisherman gave us the scoop, because i just checkout out the registration again and all of the spots are filled already! If he hadn't told us, i would have been like, ummm what??
Anyway, I am changing my username on here just so you guys know to something else----- so it will still be me on a diff. name
they said we'll be finding out LATE may or first week of june, but i'm sure we'll be able to see sooner online than waiting for the letter to come. The end of may is very soon! We will be half way through it this week!
