Hi all,

Today I got my acceptance letter for NCC's nursing program. I'm sooo happy, excited and, of course, a little nervous, but I've waited 1/2 lifetime for this opportunity. Thanks to everyone that gave me encouragement and support along the way at allnurses. love.png

Good luck and best wishes to all those that will apply or that are waiting to hear. Happy Holidays!:redpinkhe:yeah:

Hi all! I am currently taking steps to get into the NCC nursing program. I called the department and they said I need to have Anatomy 1, English 101, Psych 1 and intro to statistics completed, as well as taking and passing the TEAS EXAM. I still need to take anatomy and intro to stat. I am also studying for the Teas test. I am nervous because I have been reading and hearing very discouraging things about how hard this program is to get into. Do they only look at your G.P.A form those courses listed above? Anyone have any advice. What is the reality of the situation? Anyone else trying to get accepted into the program for 2013?

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to apply into NCC for the spring semester of 2016 for the Nursing Program. I am concerned that I may not get accepted because I took A&P I a few years back and received a grade of a C. I repeated the class the next year but withdrew before I completed it. The school informed me that even though I withdrew it would count towards the 2 times that your are allowed to take it. So I am pretty much stuck with the grade of a C.

I also have taken English 101 and received a B+ in that course and I took Psychology and received a B+. I am planning to take statistics in the summer and will need to receive an A in the class to even be considered into the program. If I receive an A that would make my GPA of those 4 classes a 3.15. I was also concerned about this because I am aware that a 3.0 is the minimum GPA considered and I am on the very low end.

I live in Nassau County so I know that will work in my favor and I am also planning to take some of the other Elective classes needed for the nursing program (A&P II, Biomedical Ethics, Lifespan, etc.) in the fall semester. I have already taken Chemistry and Biochemistry at another institution and received B- in Chemistry and a C in Biochemistry. I am wondering if that could help in my favor in any way since those are some harder science courses.

I took all of these courses a few years back and I was a lot younger and not really focused on school but it is now my number one priority and I am trying to correct all the mistakes I have made in the past. I am wondering if any one knows of any extra things that I might be able to do that would make me seem more appealing to the selection committee. Im willing to do pretty much anything that could help my chances. Let me know what you guys think and if you have any advice for me.

Thanks so much!
