Getting into Nassau Community College Nursing Program

U.S.A. New York

Published

Hey everyone! I had a 4.0 average including English1, Psych, and stats until I took A&P I which I got a C+ in which brought my GPA down to a 3.86. I am taking A&P two in the second summer session and I know I will get an A in that because I am cutting down on work hours and I have no choice but to bust my behind to get that A. I am wondering if I should re-take the Anatomy and Physiology I bringing my GPA back up to a 4.0 if I get the A or apply with a 3.86 GPA. People are saying that I am a guy so I have a better chance at getting in but what if that is not the case? If any of you could give me feedback that would be great. If there are any guys who got into the program, I would appreciate if you could let me know what GPA and prerequisites got you in! Your honesty and help is appreciated. If it is best not to take the class it will save about 500 dollars! Also do you think that they take into consideration that I got an A in BIO 109 although it is not a prerequisite?

Specializes in Neurosurgery, Neurology.
I wouldn't listen to that. I know several people in my program now that only took the 4 classes and are in. I'm in nursing 105 now and I've never took calculus or anything of that nature.

Thanks! Yeah that's what I thought based on the info session.

I was wondering, I see that you're in the Farmingdale joint program. How is that? Could you tell a little more about it? I see that you have to be selected for that, so hopefully if I get in I am! I'm applying to a few BSN programs in addition to NCC, but NCC is the cheapest, closest option, and apparently they have the highest NCLEX pass rate in Long Island (the chair said this at the info session). The only thing that makes me pause is the ADN, since I know it's pretty hard to get a job in the area with an ADN (at least in NYC). So the Farmingdale program seems like a great opportunity.

How long does the joint program take? Like, if you're taking Farmingdale classes at Nassau, how much time does that shave off if you were just going to go to the RN-BSN program after graduating from Nassau?
