Is anyone here applying for the nursing program at BCC for next fall (2025)? I want to apply for the eHealth program. I was looking over requirements and read that your A&P is only good for five years and I took mine in the fall of 2019-- it would be a bummer to have to take that again. I wonder if they would accept A&P II? I took that in 2020. My algebra is from 2013, and I would have to take chemistry as well. I have all other courses taken, except for history 111-112. I took history 113-114-- I wish they would accept that instead!! Oh, yes, and stats. I have a total of 65 credits between BCC and MCPHS. If you've graduated from, or are currently in the ehealth nursing program at BCC, I would love to connect!

That was my concern as well about the free college, which is why I switched from the RIC BSN program to BCC, so I can absolutely let you know how it goes. I looked into Massasoit, Mass Bay, and Quinsigamond as well and they are all seemingly easier to get into than BCC. I might still apply to QCC and MCC as backups. QCC is similar requirements but a later date, MCC does a points system so you can have a 90 TEAS score but be missing prerequisites and still get in.
if you do stay at BCC, for AP1 look for Katie Ruggieri, it was very simple and even though not intended, felt more like a crash course than a complete redo. Kelemu Woldegiorgis was great for Chem in my opinion, a lot of other students complained because there was a language barrier, but all his stuff is essentially open book, and as long as you appear engaged in labs and participate and show up it's an easy grade. He also appreciates when people stay behind to clean up, though it's not required or graded haha.
if you haven't done your TEAS I can also send you some resources I used as well!
I have heard ~whispers~ with the free college BCC may do a second start date cohort in the coming years but who knows how true that is. Definitely don't feel burdened by how difficult it is to get in, the timing worked out for me but it wasn't without a ton of stress and anxiety, and I think while BCC produces great nurses and has great NCLEX pass rates, I really do think if you are a good person and have that instinctual pull to help others, you will be successful and help others no matter what program you do.
Hello, can you help with the resources for TEAS?
