Congradulations!!!

Thank you Ruse - I didn't realise that the TEAS was supposed to be so important from the information session. I took the TEAS without any prior study and got high scores ie, 99 and 96 in each section but there is a section on general science (volcanoes, earth science etc) that you probably haven't looked at since junior high - I recommend that you try to prep for that if you want to keep your score as high as possible. There were only a few A&P questions on my test, a few physics questions (vectors, force) as well as mainstream chemistry and biology questions. Good luck with your app.

i heard that one third of the BHCC nursing students drop out after taking MED SURG. apparently that course is really hard to pass. so i plan to start studying for it early. i don't want to be one of the dropouts.

Is med-surg the second semester? I will be doing some pre-study as well during the summer. I heard that the third semester was supposed to be the toughest.

hi spudbunny,

congrat's on getting in!

i think med-surg is the second semester of the first year.

does the weekend program take 2 years, or 2.5 years to complete?

Congratulations 617MOM. Great job....All the programs are 2 years. The weekend program goes thru the summer wereas the day and evening don't.

I spoke with my both my friends one who just finished her 3rd semester and another who's finishing up her first. Both said the 3rd semester is the hardest and said they actually made that clear in their orientation.

3rd year is pediactrics she said that even those getting A's in the first 2 semesters saw a drop in their grades during the 3rd semester.

I'm going to join my girlfriends study group that they're going to have over the summer. I refuse to get this far and drop out or fail. :nono:

blessed,

i was not aware that the weekend program runs thru the summer months ... even though i applied to it. what classes do we have to take in the summer months? i went to the BHCC nursing web site, and i did not see anything about summer courses. thanks.

No problem. I'm not sure what classes, but yes they go thru the summer, that's how they make up for the reduced hours.

I'm actually in the day program. So I hear that all sessions are having orientation together on 5/21. I'm excited, but defintley nervous. I tell you between being nervous with the TEAS, nervous with the results, nervous about the program, neverous when it's time to take the NCLEX, nervous about job interviews, nervous as a newbie on the job... I figure at this rate it will be another 4 years before I settle down. :bugeyes:
