I just wanted to make a thread for nursing program at BC for this coming Fall semester.
I passed the Hesi last week after 4 days of studying. (Got tired of studying the Elvesier book so I took my chances)
My overall score: 85%. My lowest score's reading: 78% ( English is my second language and I took this section last so didn't have enough time to really read the questions)
I turned in my application last Wednesday. The lady said to look for an email around May- June.
Anyone is applying for Fall? Did your status on myBC change yet?
Has anyone done their HCS certifications yet? If so, what are they called? I've been looking online but I can't find the name of the ones we need to do or where to do them.
I register already for this classes. I will have them done by July the sooner the better I think they have a lot spot but I don't like waiting to last minute. This are the class codes:

congrats everyone who was accepted!! alternates, don't give up just yet..there are some alternates in my class as well :)
wear respectable clothing for orientation. show up on time or the door will be locked. please hush and listen to what Nicole says during orientation and her response to questions....it will make orientation go by faster and you'll get the right information instead of wrong because you paid attention.
get ready for a roller coaster ride. I'm in love with the program, and the professors. My classmates and I spend about every waking moment studying, or practicing skills in the lab. This program is TOUGH. But the professors are amazing and want us to succeed. Come over-prepared to work your butt off, and be mentally & emotionally prepared to eat/sleep/breathe this program.
so far, we have gone through:
theory/clinical: 29 or so chapters out of Perry/Potter text book, 13 chapters in the clinical skills book
math: went through the entire book
pharmacology: 2 chapters of information
skills lab time: i spent about 8-10 hours a week in the lab.
it is ALOT of work, but it is doable if you don't get behind.
Hi Wannabeny, are you also working while in the program? I'm planning to work on Sats and Suns (20 hrs/ week) since I live alone and do not have support. I got the pell grant but it will not be enough to cover for rent and bills. Did you have to get the student loans, if so, how much can we borrow? Thank you!

Yes, I work through the program. I average 20.5 hrs/week working only Saturday and Sunday. On occasion, when time allows, I'll work a 5 hr shift on Thurs or Fri, and I work any days that we don't have class due to holidays. But, I worked 40 hours, and alot of overtime way before the program,so I accumulated a lot of paid vacation, which I've used to cut back on weeks that we have exams without losing hours.
I did take out a loan; mainly because I have financial obligations as well, and working any less than 20 hrs a week would put me behind. I wanted a bit of a cushion.
As far as loans, financial aid would be the best bet on accurate information on that. I know that you can file for an adjustment of financial aid status, and they will adjust it on a case by case basis.
If you're going to work you need to have phenomenal time management skills..and really be OK with zero life outside of school. It's hard..I spend my work breaks studying...I've recorded myself going over my notes so I can "study" in the car at all times. It's alot. I don't really think about anything else beyond school and taking care of myself so I can continue to think about school.
Thank you so much for your helpful information. I will def going to talk to the fin. aid office í ½í¸„
