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.
Hey all, just finished level 1 and what an rough ride that was. Just a heads up for the new nursing students for the fall..... Don't get nervous, scared or discouraged about everything you read on this thread. What I'm referring to is when you hear that "50% of the class failed" I've certainly heard it! Maybe it's true but 100% of the students in my section (601) successfully passed and are on their way to level 2!! :) YAY!!!!!!!! Is this program hard, yes! There is no question that you will be overwhelmed but if you really want this and are truly interested then you ALL can do this. Not to mention that you meet amazing people along that way that not only understand what you're going through but help you when you need it. You have to prepare yourselves to put school first.Time management is a MUST. Waiting the night before the due date for a care plan to complete it simply won't do. If you truly want to prepare yourselves this summer for the fall review anatomical sites (i.e. liver, ulna, radius, iliac crest etc..., medical terminology (i.e. hypertrophy, ataxia etc.. I can't tell you how many times I had to stop reading to look up a medical term. lol I wouldn't go crazy with anything else but if you want to start reading the books go right ahead, it won't hurt. :) Feel free to ask questions..I have all the time in the world now :) GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!
Congrats on making it thru Gabby !
I say the rate to those we lost is closer to 20 - 25%. I never heard 50%. and that is 20% of the class you enter in with, not 20% per level lost. we started with 80, graduated 68.
GlossyVioley, congrats on getting in! That's awesome. Can I ask what you scored? Just curious to see how far off I am. Thanks!! Best of luck in the fall :)
Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that there will be a CPR class from 8-5(with one hr break) at Bergen tomm. It's great for those who don't want to travel far and there's only 2 seats taken. It's 99$ and you'll have get a CPR book. :)
because of a personal issue, i deferred my acceptance. i'll be going for spring evening program instead. good luck everyone!! bright side this means there is an extra spot open for fall they'll give to the next person in line!! hope it’s one of you guys!
hi, i am in a similiar situation. could you tell me how you went about deferring? i talked to the nursing office and they were not too happy about it. they said i might have to take the hesi again. did you accept your entrance letter and then tell them that you wish to attend the evening?
Since my Hesi & GPA are high enough, I was told to reapply again for Spring and will have a good chance of making it in again. I do not have to redo the background check or Hesi. (Unless I want to retake Hesi)
L. Pavlil. I had her and she's very easy. She doesnt count absences..she gives you the test before u take it. U only have to take two tests and If your satisfied with the grade u have after the two tests. Ur done with the class.
I also had Pavlik. Her two tests are essay style, she even lets you write down up to 20 terms that may be difficult to remember in a "cheat sheet". She approves it, and lets you bring i t the test. If you do well in the two tests, you don't have to do the final.
