Gloucester County College Nursing Fall 2011 Hopefuls?

Published

Hi everyone!

Thought I could start this thread for anyone that is applying to the GCC Nursing Program this spring? I'm just getting my portfolio organized and prepared. I have to take the HESI one more time on Feb 24th and attend an info session on Feb 28th and I'm all set. I'm so nervous! But, I'm going to try to be optimistic. I look forward to hearing from you guys :) Take Care~

Ok.... from looking at the nursing courses online..... from calculating the labs including the TBA there's about 96 students.... by calculating lecture and clinical including TBA there is 108 students for the first semester. This is confusing.... lol

We can check the spots that were filled up after we all register (The 27?) and that will give us a good number as to how many were accepted. I'm sure not everyone will accept their seat, so then they send out more acceptance letters because some of the pool will not go to GCC......

But how do they fit all the appts in with one person in two days??

I'm thinking that there isn't 100 people in the class......I've heard that since the HESI exam came into play, there aren't as many students in the classes. If you look at how many people registered for Nursing III, I think I counted about 65-70 or so (Granted, maybe not everyone has registered) and I think that was the first class that had the HESI requirement of passing 10 different sub-levels of the HESI. The HESI isn't a hard test, but to pass every single sub-level with a certain score is not easy.....I just think that we have about 70-80 students and that's it.....Or...........they split the class into 2 groups and the second group is going on the 28th/29th? Maybe they have more than 1 advisor?

when i went to the last info session the instructors said that 100 would be accepted.... but your right nurd163, people could have forfeited their spot and maybe there's less students now.... I don't know, but we'll see. I'm not stressing too much, because at least we are all the lucky ones! lol :D

You were! I went back to look and found it. Thanks for cluing me in though. Dannipoint and I were talking....100 people were supposed to be accepted? Are the appts every 15 minutes? How did they fit 100 appts into two days?

I have no idea how they plan on fitting it all in. I was hoping to get my transcript evaluation before next week so I could pick out exactly which classes on which days and times would be ideal. I guess I'll just decide on which nursing course days will work best for me and then cross my fingers that all my prerequisites get accepted! How many different advisors do they have for this? If there's only one that person is going to be very, very busy for a couple of days!

mylife, you can process your degree evaluation online through the portal free of charge and just print it out. I think that's what they recommend we bring to the appointment. As far as how many advisers are going to be doing the registering, I have no idea. I'm hoping it's more than one so the process can go by quicker.... but then I was thinking why would they have each person at a scheduled time in 15 minute increments? Idk.... I'm just hoping I'll get the class I want.

I've never taken a class at GCC so all of my classes are transfer classes and when I look up my degree evaluation through the portal it still shows no credits. They're really trying to make me sweat it out! :eek:

Aw mylife, don't worry. I'm sure you'll be fine. The degree evaluation may be for current GCC students, but since you said something about waiting for your transcripts to evaluated, i think that will be just fine. Don't worry :)

Hey guys! I just wanted to share some cool information I found through the web. I found a whole bunch of Nursing skills sheets.... which are probably in the books we have to get (whenever they let us know), but it might be nice to study earlier..... if you want them PM me with your email address and I'd be more than happy to send them. They're in PDF format

Some skills include temperature, pulse, venipuncture, capillary blood draw, sponge bath, casts, throat culture, nasopharyngeal swab, dressing change, IV, nasogastric tube, ect.

if you can't PM yet ..... let me know through this threat :)
