Brookdale Community College

We didn’t go into detail about how long each track wait list is. I’m hoping one starts sooner haha. She seemed like she was in a rush so I kept it brief. She said I should here something in like 4-6 weeks from her about taking that exam (not the college issued one). And that the wait list is about 2 years. I would feel more assured if I knew for sure I was getting in after 2 years. I’m going to try and apply to other nursing programs. I was rejected from my county’s cc but mine is super competitive. I’m going to keep applying tho

I went to the information session in March 2019 and after that was placed on the waiting list. I just received my letter of acceptance to the Spring 2020. The information I received at that last session was that the wait list was only 2 semesters long, so one year. It could change at anytime, but I think they say 2 years to be safe.

thank you nursenell. I am attending info session end of this month. I also have the cna course left which I will take the 2 week course in January. Do u have all of ur prereqs completed? I wonder if I will still have to wait a year even though I will be done with all my prereqs in Jan 2020.

Hi MayGirl2013,

You will probably have to wait a year. They are already filling up the seats for Spring 2020 now. What track did you decide on at the information session? That also affects your wait, I know the daytime track has the longest wait list.

I am thinking of doing the online track.

I am currently a student at Brookdale attempting to get into the nursing program is there any tips that can be helpful before I take my TEAs exam, more specifically the science portion (I have a hard time retaining the information).

ATI TEAS book is a great resource to study from. The practice tests in the book are presented in the same format as the actual test, so you will not be surprised. I took the practice tests first to find out my weak areas and spent more time studying those. I also did a bunch of additional practice questions that I could find online. Good thing about brookdale TEAS, you only need a 58 to pass so even if you don’t do well on one section you can still pass if you do ok on the rest.

I wanted to find out what the 2 week long chha course that Brookdale offers entails. From your experience what is the breakdown of the 2 weeks- how many days are in class vs In a healthcare setting? Thanks!

I am attending an info session for the nursing program at the end of March. Before going I wanted to know which waiting list is the best because I do not want to wait too long but I am also trying to avoid online because I am not a big fan of taking online classes.

Does anybody know if introduction to psychology taken in a different state will be transferable to BCC? In my old state, there was no such thing as into to psychology 1 and 2...there was only 1 course offered that covers the same materials as these two class.

Does anyone know the entire list of all the pre-requisites for the program?
