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.
Thanks!
Jschroder, I believe we have to order them from Belle Uniform in paterson ( they are white so I will order 2 just in case;-) there is a nursing packet online at bergen.edu, it mentions the uniforms and the books etc. take a look
Glossy is on point....follow what's in the packet. and I bought two also. lasted me thru all four levels....
Belle has the BCC badge that needs to be on the uniform too. They are located in Paterson...not good parking.
@mike is this mike from my chem class? I would go to the advisors office on Monday. Get there early as a few people have similar questions. I hope it works out for you:)
@Jschroder..no i'm not the same mike. I'm not sure if going to the nursing office would be a good idea, my letter states not to contact or e-mail the nursing office and rather to visit the center for academic services. I have had a bad experience with the nursing office, i think i got off on a bad foot with them. I thought I had a high chance of being accepted with my hesi score but i guess there might be some other kinks that need to be straightened out. Anyone with a 91+ HESI score and a 3.6+ GPA not accepted? Is there a good advisor that you guys can recommend?
Mike...i can't find the post I made a couple years ago, but i too received a similar letter. my issue involved a class or two not meeting the requirements. i have a bachelors from another college so there was a lot of back and forth but it end up working out for me. My counselor played a huge part in the resolution.Good Luck !
DaddyO, thanks for the suggestions. I hope its a case of pre req or two and easily adressed. Did you have to wait out a semester to fulfill your pre reqs? Did you have to take the HESI again? Who was your counselor? are there any that you would recommend? This is nerve wrecking.
