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!

Thanks Gaby & Daddy-o! Ive been re-reading this thread from the beginng, I like how your paying it forward with us newbies!! SO glad you are here to guide us! :yeah:Good Luck on your finals..

ahhhh i dont have a webadvisor!!!!!! im trying to call...freaking out

I just checked randomly today and I got in!!! I guess I will be seeing u ladies soon... Am I the only guy so far?

Thank you so much! I think I will spend a lot of the summer reading a pharm. Book if anyone is a nerd like me, you are welcome to join me! @daddyo my GPA is 4.0 and I want to stay as close to that as possible. My goal is to get a scholarship to cover my bsn. I am going to take your advice and test the waters first.

Lets hope you are able to get what you want.

but I will tell you this, there were some exams that the entire class failed. and please understand I had LPNs and CNAs in the class with me. yes, they too failed. you may get to the point that you will take any grade that you get because you just want it to be over....

the program is doable....but when you have an exam with 17 (out of 50) SATA type questions (mult/mult). You really, really have to know your stuff because this is close to half the exam.

Moreover, one wrong slip in clinicals and you can fail. Like i said, it is tough getting in...but IMO more so trying to stay in.

Please understand that this is not to discourage......but just keeping things real.

If anyone has an Iphone or Ipod there are so many nursing program apps that can really help, I'm going to look for a pharm app i believe I saw one to start practicing the meds and conversions.

I have an iPhone.. Keep me posted!

@daddyo I appreciate the realness! It's something that we need to hear. Any tips on purchasing books and extra reference guides?

i can officially be excited and celebrate lol i received the official letter in the mail today!! so happy i’ve made it this far!! congrats everyone!!
