DCCCD Nursing Program

Published

Has anyone had any problem getting into the Nursing programs within the Dallas County Community College District?

If so, did you have all A's? Just wondering how hard it is, and if I will need to retake classes to make higher grades.

I had a newborn, and was young and stupid when I first started college. lol

I have mostly B's, but have taken, I think, around 35 credit hours already.

You can do it.... even with children. My daughter is 8 months. and when I started retaking the courses this summer she was only 3 months. A person gave me some good advice, she said if you want it bad enough you will make it happen. So when I get discouraged i just remember that. Shoot for the 4.0, take it one class at a time if you have to. Maymester and summer school help you to get there faster. Apply everywhere is good advice, you never know!! I recently had a friend that had not finished all her pre reqs apply and get in!!

You can do it!

Thanks so much for this bebenurse! This is really an inspiration...I can't wait until January to get started!!!!

I'll definately be going to summer classes. I'd rather take A&P and microbiology without any nursing courses and clinicals added to it. ;)

When I was accepted, you had to have a 3.79 GPA in your pre-req's and most of your co-req's completed with a 3.75 to get in. You absolutely must have an A in A&P I, because it counts for 4 credits hours thus has more weight. My suggestion is not to take A&P I at Brookhaven. It is extremely difficult to get an A there and many people end up having to repeat the class at another campus. Try Northlake or Eastfield instead. Good luck!

I am taking my classes at North Lake. "WHEN" I get accepted into the Nursing program, my first choice is also NLC.

I am studying already, so I will be prepared for the class come January. :chuckle
