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.
Even if one does not make the initial cut...there is still hope. I had 4 people that i know that had to postpone their first semester. I also heard of one that had some challenges with their background check and was not able to attend.
If your name is not in the initial cut....i would call the Nursing Dept and ask about a waiting list.
Congratulations! I agree with DaddyO- dont stress yet. Also, I know of at least one person who got in after someone decided not to do the program - he got a call to come in and take the spot.
Congratulations everyone! Futurenurse, yes, we are in! I thought of you as soon as I saw the Admitted - very excited for all of us, and look forward to the journey with you as well! Thanks to all for your encouragement and information thru this process!

2 housekeeping tasks per our terms of service: text speak discouraged & identity protection:
no potentially libelous information about specific schools, instructors, or health care facilities/entities should be posted in these forums. while it is important to be able to network, everyone should be mindful of the following:
it is a small world - when we narrow it down to a state and throw in some personal info, there is actually a pretty good chance someone may recognize you if you are not careful. your privacy is paramount to us.
while this site is a wonderful place to vent (without excess personally identifiable details) it is not the place to express why ("x" specific person, place or program) is terrible. gripe away, but since we cannot permit allegations to be made about named entities, your care in not naming them is very much appreciated.
please do not give out personal information about others. do not name names where anyone could identify the person in any facility including your nursing programs. ...
english language only
while this bulletin board hosts visitors from around the world, it is based in the united states and much of our membership is english speaking. due to our inability to moderate threads in other languages, we ask that interactions be in english for the enjoyment of as many posters as possible.
please do not type entirely in capitals as considered shouting on the internet! desiring to maintain professionalism, text speak (also known as chatspeak, txtspk, texting language or txt talk) is discouraged. along with using proper english spelling and punctuation, this shows respect for the owner, other bulletin board members & guests and makes it easier to read your important thoughts.
wishing you all the best to get into bccc nursing program!
Hurray for you guys! I knew it! And about the registration, you can not do it yet. I just tried to and it said I can not. I would call administration, but I am not sure if we are supposed to know yet!
