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:

FYI everyone I just spoke to someone at the nursing department (because when I logged onto the castle branch site I noticed that "drug test" is listed as part of the $160 package but also on a separate sheet in our packets for $34). She said that when we picked up our packets we were supposed to be told to hold off on everything until orientation to avoid doing something incorrectly or unnecessarily, as our professors will be there to explain everything in the packet. I asked her if it was okay to go ahead and get our physicals done and she said yes. But she said to wait on literally everything else. So I'm going to just do the physical and probably schedule the CPR training for now and then see what they say at orientation.

There are free CPR training at bmcc. Don't waste extra money.

In the continuing ed dept? There aren't any scheduled right now so I will wait until they post some. After I posted my comment I saw that it costs $80 elsewhere (gulp)!

I just received a call from Mr. ***** that we are not to use VerifyStudents.com for the drug screening. It's not suppose to be in our packets. We are only to use Castle Branch for drug screening.

I got the same call. At this point I'm not doing anything until orientation smh.

I got the same call, first they give us the wrong paper work for our physicians to fill out, now they give us an out dated drug test paper. smh. I suggest everyone wait until orientation before moving forward.

I didn't hear anything about the paper work for our physicians being incorrect as well. Did they also give you a call about that? I wanted to get this all done early, but I'm going to wait until orientation just to be clear on everything.

yes, Mr. * left me a voicemail on Wed and told me "they put the wrong medical form (physician form) in my package, it is supposed to be a double sided paper", I can it up when ever I want at the nursing dept. I am going in Monday to pick it up. I just listened to the voicemail again he said i have the option to pick it up or wait for the orientation.

My page is double sided, perhaps that's why I didn't get a call. But I'll wait just to be sure. Thanks for the info!

Hello fellow nursing classmates! Hope all is well! Anyone in here started with castle branch yet??? Is it true it's 160 dollars? And does people with insurance cover the drug screen?
