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 j83087.

FYI: Valley Hospital just confirmed that they will only hire BSNs from now on. Very unfortunate for us.

has anyone gotten a nursing packet with the things we need to do, e.g. certifications/insurance information for fall (nursing day)?

No not yet. They still have the fall 2010/spring 2011 packet up. It's supposed to be updated sometime this month though!

I emailed the secretery few weeks ago. She said that it will all be updated in June.

How do I know what the next step is for the upcoming semester like getting certified for cpr (i see people talking about that here already) and insurance, etc.?

this is from last year but is the same concept just different dates. Hope it helps

Yes, helped a lot thank you very much.. I just didn't want to miss any deadlines for the upcoming day program.

I just saw that teachers are up on web advisor. I also checked rate my professor and found out they are good, I am very excited for the upcoming semester! How's everyones summer!

I just got my packet for the fall. Anyone else??

Yes i did too!

I have questions for the students who are already in the program.

How many uniforms should we get? Do we the uniforms to the clinicals only or during class as well?

Can we buy older versions of the books?

Thanks!
