BMCC Nursing Program FALL 2017

Published

Hello Everyone,

I passed the Kaplan, May 31,2017 with an overall score of 78%. I would like to start chatting with other prospective nursing students who applied for BMCC's nursing program and successfully passed the kaplan!... let the waiting begin!!:nailbiting:

Hey all! Hope all is well! Got the package today. Didn't know that the schedule is lottery wise. Really hope I can get in the morning session so it won't interfere with my work schedule.

hi everyone, i just saw this thread... I picked up my package today for the day program. omg, do we really have to purchase all that?, I see they put an estimated cost of $1200 for requirement. Does anyone know what we absolutely should get and what we may pass on.

Based on what I've read from previous semesters, the main texts we need are the Fundamentals book,clinical nursing skills& techniques and the SIMCHART. "The package is all that you need" this information was provided by a nursing student in the "BMCC Nursing Fall 2016 " forum on pages 3-4 by user: Rnm0208.

That's all the insight I have so far, I wonder if they allow us to purchase the later editions of the books. I'm going to wait until after orientation to buy the textbooks, they might provide more information then.

The guy working in the bmcc bookstore told me that most students wait until after orientation to buy the books. He also didn't have a lot of them in stock yet but said they're going to be arriving in July.

Ugh seriously? I'm still trying to line up all the vaccinations. Background check/drug test is next. I want everything done before July if possible.

I just did the background test online at the site the package had, i only paid the $34, however, how do u registered for the drug test screening??/

ok i got the site for the drug testing...did u pay an additional fee for the test at the site for the drug testing.

I have yet to do the drug test, i plan to do it this Monday, I believe the $34 is all you have to pay.

The "background check" I was referring to was the castle branch software, we're basically paying 160 for the package, to use scanning and uploading our documents to the school and clinical sites.
