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!
Thank you icesk8ter.Congrats to you too.I am just a little bit worried because I got to travel to my country for 13 days.I will be there from the 13th to the 26th.I had no idea we will have to do all this things before entering to the program. I have to do everything before next wednesday.
Hey guys, so I got the call and am super excited!!
Quick question, did you guys already get your books? From the bookstore or elsewhere? I ask because I just placed the order today and I am going to pick them up asap but I was just wondering how you guys got yours so quickly.
Also, for the immunization part, do we absolutely need the titers for the MMR or just the dates? I was confused about that and when I tried to call BMCC, there was no answer. If you guys could just let me know what you're all doing that would be awesome. Congrats again and yay for us!!
I have not buy my books jet. I am filling the insurance and the form for the uniforms.I have a question.What did you guys answered for the question: Are you a member of the National Student Nurses' Association? It is in the insurance form.

Hi Solange,
Congratulations! Glad you finally got the call . I have not yet ordered the books, I'll check out online first and then compare prices this week. As for the immunization, I believe they want copies of the titer results so if you had these tests before, you might want to get those copies from your doctor. Your doc actually needs to fill that medical form as well.
Steffanie -- I'm not sure if the day program has a different memo but for the evening program, there's a memo on the second page stapled to that paper that you cut and gave to the coordinator, and on the back it says students will be required to pass a math competency exam so you have to review Math104 calculations prior to the first day of class.
Congratulations to everybody and hope to bump into both of you at BMCC !
Oh yes.I see it already.Thank you very much Dee.But it does not say that the test will be on the first day. I have a friend that began the nursing program this past semester and she told me that they had a week or two to study for that test after the classes began.
But it is highly recommended to start studing from now.
I just got a call from the coordinator itself!!! I'm going to pick up a package from him today. Yey!!! I'm so happy and relieved. Goodluck to everybody and I hope to chat with future classmates here even before school starts so we can strategize
Best Regards,
Dee
Congrats Dee ,
I hope you have a wonderful semester. I'm sure you will do fine on your first semester of Nursing. Would you know what textbooks are on the requirement list,

Hey Bilis,
Thanks! It's been a long time since I last heard from you. I'm interested in buying used books. I'll pm you the list of what we have. How did you find the first sem by the way? Did you guys take the Math exam on the first day of class? I forgot if you were in the morning or the evening program. Any experiences you wanted to share, that'll be great .
