I know this is kind of early but I just wanted to check if anybody plans to apply for the Spring 2011 nursing program at BMCC (Borough of Manhattan Community College) in NYC. I just met the preclinical advisor this week and he gave an update that CUNY eliminated the need for non-preclinical students (like me who's currently at liberal arts at BMCC) to first change their curriculum to preclinical before applying for the nursing program.
Here's an April 30 memo from the nursing department for anybody who wants to apply for the nursing program:
------------------
TO: All Non-Nursing Students
FROM: The Nursing Department
DATE: April 30, 2010
RE: Admission into the Nursing Program
Non-nursing student who want to apply to the Nursing program please note the following:
1. Admission into the Nursing program is based on the GPA in the four required prerequisite courses (Eng101, Psy100, Mat104 and BIO425) and the overall GPA for both the Day and Evening/Weekend Nursing Programs.
2. Students who want to apply for the Full-Time Day Program must wait one semester after completion of the four required pre-requisite courses to apply for admission into the Nursing program.
3. Students who work full-time during the day and want to apply for the Part-Time Evening/Weekend Program must wait one semester after completion of the following courses: ENG101, PSY100, MAT104, BIO425, BIO426, BIO420, and PSY240 or SOC100 in order to apply for admission into the Nursing Program.
4. Please be aware that admission into the Nursing Program is also based on seat availability. The College does not guarantee admission into the Nursing Program.
5. In order to advance into the Nursing Program, students must provide documentation for one of the following categories:
US Citizenship, Permanent Residency, and International Students with F1 status, Granted Asylum, Refugee Status, Temporary Protected Status, Withholding of Removal, Deferred Enforced Departure or Deferred Action Status by the US Government.
-------------
By the way, for those who are applying in late October for the Spring 2011 program, make sure to bring your advisement sheet and transcript if you took some prereqs outside BMCC. If you're applying for the evening program, also bring proof of your current employment.
I'm sooo excited to apply and can't wait for October!
Hi guys.I wonder if anyone have received the call from mr sierra.I am so exited.It is this week that we will know who enters to the nursing program.I have a 3.93 GPA.I guess that is enough to get in the program.What you guys think.Let me know please if any of you receive the call.
Hi Steffanie,
I've been also wondering about it. I have not yet received a call. As far as the past board posts indicated, they usually call alphabetically with last names. Mine is D so I'm getting nervous. Are you applying for morning or evening program? My pre-req GPA is 4.0 and total is 3.86.
Hi dee. You have nothing to worry about. You have a 4.0 GPE. That is amazing. Congratulations.You are in the program for sure. My last name begins with C.I call to Bmcc today and they told me tha mr sierra begins tomorrow to call people.
Thanks for the update! I keeping staring at my phone waiting for it to ring with good news. Please post if you get the call. I wonder how many people they call a day. Good Luck!!

Or should i take the pre nursing classes at bmcc ...which they are also letting me take it there as undeclared major...........which college would be better for me..................
I have good news for you.I just called again to the nursing program.I asked how many seats will be available this semester.They said 46 for each session. I was worried because panther says 25 for each session.That means that we have more possibilities to be selected.
I also asked again when the calls will begin.They told me either this afternoon or tomorrow.:yeah:

Hi Elizabeth,
Congratulations on your acceptance to LIU! I think your first option is better in taking that prereq in LIU and at the same time look for good nursing program in NJ. That way, by the time you have finished that prereq, you have both options of either continuing to the LIU nursing program or you can find out that there is a better option in NJ that you can enter and hopefully transfer all the prereqs needed there.
You should forget about BMCC as that is just a complication that you don't need. This is just my suggestions and I hope it helps you. Good luck!
Please post if you get the call. I wonder how many people they call a day. Good Luck!!
