I was accepted into CFCC for the 2022 FALL term and I've had some worries about the difficulty of the program. Has anyone gone through it that can give me their experience? My main worry is the extremely high attrition rate and how hard it supposedly is to make a B average. I am worried that I will be ruining my chances at a MSN later down the line if I mess up my GPA. I was referencing average NCLEX scores over the last 10 years and CFCC has the highest out of all Universities and Community Colleges in the state. Which I know implies that it will be overtly challenging to make it through.
Hey I start next month I'm in the 2027 cohort. I believe I had about 480 points and my TEAS exam was an 88%
Wow! Congrats!! I hope it goes well!! Your point count is so high?! Did you take all of the prerequisites? I've only taken 4/8 though I have a degree in Biology and Psychology LOL.
I still receive notifications from this chat. And I want to say my heart and prayers are with you all going into this program. Nursing is not easy but you guys will do well. Study study study. I thought study groups were not my thing but I joined a really good group and excel. Plus we're all still friends. I wanted to jump in the chat not only to encourage you all but to let yall know. The Hardest part of the nursing program was the NCLEX. It was very different from ATI. If possible I will suggest purchasing Archer and I heard one called boot camp. They memic the NCLEX. I did not find this out until after I took the exam. I was extremely terrified of the NCLEX. ATI worked well for the old NCLEX and helps you to think like a high level nurse. And honestly the NCLEX is the opposite of that now. I find that Mark K helps with remembering things but I really didn't have much of anything on there he talk about. But other students said Mark K helped them. The Addison and Cushioning I learned from him was helpful. I say listen to his 1-12 lectures because he helps you to grasp the concept and apply your knowledge without getting lost into the material. And practice questions on Archer. Everyone I know that did this.. NCLEX cut off at 85 and they passed. I did not go this route. However I did Mark K lectures with ATI green Light... and by the grace of God I stopped around 120. You all got this. You will do well. Keep us all posted.
