Bergen Community College Nursing Program Question

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 have my cpr class next week at Wayne 1st squad. So I shouldn't worry too much about the 20question test?

It was a multiply choice test. While doing the exercises, Dave would let us know that there's a question about this exercise, etc. By the end of the course, we pretty much knew what was on the test, so do not worry about the test. I'm really glad I took this course, I learned alot in 3-4 hrs.

Are there any summer intern work available to nursing students after finishing Level 1? What is there to do during the summer months? My family and friends are planning a trip on July and I'm not sure if I can go.

Externships are not until level 3. Unless you have CNA or some other kind of Cert. , Level 1 may not be enough.

This seems to be the case in the hospitals I have checked....not sure about the Dr. offices, rehab and nursing homes.

Hope everyone's new year started out well :) .. the countdown to the first day of classes starts now....

22 days and counting to d-day :specs:

Hey Daddy-O---If we do have another Certification (I have my M.A Cert) where can I look for Externships?

Also, I know you did an externship-what did your externship consist of? Was it a Nursing Externship or CNA??

Thanks :)

Getting into school mode. Dropped off my cpr and malpractice forms, got my uniforms, read a couple of chapters in Fund., and called M&M to make sure they received my payment for the kit. I just have to get my TB test but my doc has to order the kit. Geezzz. Hopefully I get it done by next week.

Hi everyone!

I'm new to this site, & new to nursing school. I had just got accepted into Felician College BSN nursing program, but am confused on if it's the right decision. I already am in my second year at Bergen Community and Felician would be another 3 1/2 years, I really wanted to get into the Fall semester at BCC, but i'm worried that I wont get in. I finished all of my pre-reqs. but still need to take math 131 & 132, but am hoping to test out of those classes when I take the challenge test on Monday.. I was hoping that someone would have some advise on what they think is a better idea, and if anyone has any knowledge on Felician's nursing program.. Thanks! :)

what do we do in lab? do we need the uniforms and/or coats for the labs?

where can i find cheap scrubs??

newstart85-- check walmart they are cheap

If you are looking for the uniform for Bergen you cannot wear cheap scrubs. You must purchase the uniform that they require. If you are looking for something else, not for Bergen, just go to any uniform store - they are all over.
