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.
We had to have the background check done before we were given permission to sit the exam...but it was MUCH cheaper than that! I think I paid $68.50....that's much better than $160!!! My gosh! I hope we don't have to do another...I'm going broke tryin to get into nursing! Haha!
yea...it sounds different. because i did it after. and it was $160+ for me because I lived in 2 other states in the last 10yrs or whatever the timeline was. More out of state residences means more money for background check.
Malpractice Insurance is cheap. Like $30.
I wore all white Nike Sneakers....some wore the shoes some wore sneakers. but they have to be ALL WHITE.
I think I am going to get the AirMax 90s, I wanted the Shox(a few nurses on another thread suggested them), but they do not make them with white soles.
The packet really did not have too much information. I used the Nursing course requirements that are on the Bergen website. They are NUR181, NUR182, and NUR183. You have to register by June 29th, and send by back the letter indicating that you are taking the spot by June 10th.
OK, so for student loans (never had one before) do I just need to fill out the FAFSA form online and then do I go to the school? Or a bank?.....now I'm freaking out about the money =*(

The good news is that almost everything can be done online, the bad news is that it might take longer than when the first payment is due for your classes. If that happens, you can sign up for a payment plan until your loan comes through. Go to fafsa.gov. You do not need to go to the bank. Go to the financial aid office and they will give you a form to complete and you will need to submit your 2009 W2 and copy of tax return. Good luck!
I actually already filled out the FASFA online and entered all my 2009 tax info (just did it after work)...so do I still have to take my tax info to the school?! I'm doing the "entrance interview" online right now....
