BMCC NURSING PROGRAM FALL 2021

[ForJanesSake ASN RN]

Good evening Everyone,

I have a question and it seems like everyone on this forum responds much quicker than the school does so please respond if you know the answer to this.

I plan on applying to BMCC’s nursing program in Fall 2021, I’ve completing my prerequisites (Eng 101, Mat 104, Psy100, Chem 121) and have gotten an A or A- in all my classes and accumulated a 3.9 GPA. I just completed Eng 201(which is not a prerequisite) Summer session with a C-. I’ve taken Speech 100 & I’m taking BIO 425 and Psy240 this fall.

Based on what I was told by The nursing dept, they only look at your grades for the 4 prereq’s (Eng 101, Mat 104, Psy100 & BIO425) but I’m wondering if I should retake my ENG 201 class for a better grade.

Please note I’m in the process of reaching out to my English 201 professor to dispute my C- grade.
And I’m considering transferring to other nursing schools since BMCC’s process is lengthy.
Please share your thoughts, Thank you!

hey yes there are prerequisites. Advisers might be more helpful because things change now and then if you are just starting. There are 5 minimum prerequisites. 

Does anyone here know that we will be given paper and a calculator for the math part of the exam for sure?

Yes I’m just starting. Do you know of any international student who’s just done with prequisites?

I’m hearing HESI Exams & Kaplan test, could you please distinguish the 2 & when is it done.

 

thank you!

[sil geh]

At BMCC they ask you to take the HESI A2 only when you are done with all prerequisites and if your GPA is high. Usually 3.6, but changes. There are many international students at BMCC. I am sure if you reach out they will help you. For now, the info in this thread might seem confusing. But it is never a bad idea to investigate in advance. Make sure you do good in all the prerequisites for now, and do not let the school or anyone intimidate you on how hard it is. Everything is possible ?

I have no knowledge about the Kaplan but I gather there are similar. I am not able to answer that though

[sil geh]

you can do it!

[Abdou]

Thank you for the info. I learnt something important from your msg.

okay. So do you normally do the HESI A2 exam immediately when you done with your pre-requisites?

[sil geh]

Yes if you got good grades. 

[Abdou]

Ow! Okay. That sounds cool.

so if you put constant effort with the pre-requisites would you find it easy?
