Bergen Community College Nursing Program 2017

Definitely :) my name is Marta -- excited and anxious for orientation. A girl I know from my gym graduated last May from the program told me she was ready to quit after their orientation so that should be fun haha. & I haven't heard anything further from Bergen but I got an email from the background check company with the results on Friday. I submitted mine on 4/17 though so give yours another day or 2 and I'm sure you'll hear back.

Hi. Quick question. Do they only use the English and science GPA or the whole GPA?

They used to use just the English and science now they are using cumulative GPA.

Hi guys. I'm gonna be applying for the Fall 2018 nursing program when I finish my prerequisites. Anyways, I thought Bergen wanted us to take the HESI entrance exam but is it actually the TEAS we have to take?

Yes Bergen no longer uses the HESi exam. It is now TEAS version 6 made by ATI. The bookstore at Bergen sells the practice workbooks.

Has anyone bought books or any of that fun stuff yet?

I have; so far spent around $300 for books. I also did the CPR cert. The rest I'm going to do in July/August. ^^

Ugh. Spending so much on books hurts .. it's so awful. & Where did you do your CPR? I was certified already but of course it's expired so I need to take care of that ASAP.

Yea still expensive even with the ebay route. @_@"

I did my CPR through American Heart Association at Healthforce in bergenfield and you get your card on the same day.

What were the names of the books and authors?

I don't think they gave an official list of the books we need yet except for Fundamentals of Nursing I which we need to bring with us for orientation. The book is by Judith Wilkinson & it's 3rd edition. I found it on amazon & rented it for 16 bucks.

& @ pureanea thanks for the info! def gonna look into that place :)

@ anyone who took CPR class already -- if anyone has the 2015 AHA BLS student book & would be willing to lend it to me, I'm taking the class on 7/11. Please & thank you! :)
