Hi! I am waiting to hear back from as well. I got accepted to Bergen Community's RN program, but I'd rather go here. Waiting for a call so I can interview. 4.0 GPA / 82% TEAS-V Score.

Hi! I actually found out thurs that I was accepted! Please let me know if you will be in my class this August! Good luck!

valiqa · May 31, 2016

That is so awesome! Congratulations! I will let you know if I get accepted too!

How was the interview process? Any tips? What kind of questions did they ask?

dsauro · May 31, 2016

I actually didnt have an interview, I was just accepted. So I dont know if they changed their process, or if they only interview maybes to help make a definite decision, or what. Someone did call me to ask a quick question about my application, so maybe that counted as my interview? I'm not sure.

During the phone call, she just asked me if I had taken anymore classes since starting my app (I originally applied in 2014, but never took the TEAS and finished the app. I decided this year to take the TEAS and finish my app to see if they would admit me.) So she only asked about that, and told me what classes I would have to take. She also asked me if I intended to work during the program ( i assume because I am an adult student with a child) and told me the school prefers students not to work over 20 hrs per week.

That was it!! Maybe they counted that as an interview, but I did not have to physically go to campus to talk to anyone.

Keep me updated! Hopefully you will hear soon. I know I was told my acceptance letter was on her desk thurs when I emailed her. She told me via email I was accepted and emailed me the letter, but said she also was putting a physical copy in the mail. So with the holiday weekend and all, I assume most people will start hearing this week.

Crossing fingers for you!

I just got my acceptance email! YAY!

I assumed we had to interview only because when a friend of mine went to their open house last month they mentioned it. I am really thrilled, I was getting worried because I hadn't heard from them since I turned in my application about 3 weeks ago. Now I am just waiting for the mailed copy, which I am sure I will get soon. I also applied in 2014, but never completed the app nor did I take the Teas. I also didn't have any college experience. So I went to Bergen to do as many prerequisites as I could before I applied.

I am so very excited! I honestly cannot wait for school to start! =D

Oh yay, congrats!!! I cant wait either. Im excited to start. Happy to hear that we'll be classmates.

Have you finished many prereqs? Ive only completed psych, sociology, and eng comp.

valiqa · Jun 1, 2016

Thank you, I am very excited! What is your name? I'm Sana.

I finished almost all the prerequisites:

Anatomy & Physiology 1

Anatomy & Physiology 2

Intro to Psychology

English Composition

Microbiology (In progress)

Life Span Development

Intro to Sociology

Intro to Philosophy

Intro to Visual Arts

I believe now I just need all the nursing clinical classes and the Contemporary Issues in Bioethics class (8 more classes I believe). I primarily did most the prereqs to save on money, BCC is much cheaper per class when compared to Holy Name.

dsauro · Jun 1, 2016

Hi Sana, I'm Daniella. Nice to meet you!

I'm super jealous youve gotten all of those out of the way. i wish Id had the foresight or time to do the same, i just felt like with my age (im 36, this is a career change for me) i wanted to start nursing asap.

i guess three classes are better than none!

valiqa · Jun 3, 2016

Hi Daniella!

I wish I was in your shoes and started sooner to be honest. Before I knew about Holy Name's RN program, I was trying to get into BCC's RN program. BCC prefers that students have all their prereqs completed before starting their nursing program because it's so intense. But I wish I knew about Holy Name, I would've applied last year when I had 2-3 classes completed.

I feel you in the career change. I was in retail management for several years and I just really began to hate my job. I was out of school for nearly 7 years before I went back. It's rough changing careers as an adult, more so if you have a family that depends on you.

Hope to see you at orientation! =)
