1. NVCC Class of 2013 Meet and Greet + Q&A

   excitedtobehere replied to callduck's topic in Virginia

   I also STRONGLY recommend checking NCLEX pass rates. I distinctly remember one of those schools listed as being pretty bad. Don't recall the stats for the other. I'm not really much help recommending where to take additional classes, as I took NAS 16...

   excitedtobehere replied to callduck's topic in Virginia

   No problem! As Martha said, NVCC doesn't care which sequence you take. Your likelihood of being accepted is the same. I wanted to refer you to another thread that I responded in, as I think it clears up the pros and cons of each decision. https:/...

3. NVCC Class of 2013 Meet and Greet + Q&A

   excitedtobehere replied to callduck's topic in Virginia

   Hi NOVA EMT, I think you mistook everyone’s silence for rudeness, but the reality is, they don’t share this information with the students, nor are they obligated to. All we can do is notice when someone stops coming to class, or when a student readi...

4. Attention Nurses....

   excitedtobehere replied to jesskidding's topic in General Nursing

   I think it's great that she ponders these types of things without being prodded to do so, if indeed that is the case. For what it's worth, my nursing classes start next Monday, and guess what question is on the orientation packet that is due this Wed...

   Hi Tina! I'm not sure if you've already heard from Carolyn, but I'm definitely interested in carpooling! I can't tell you how thrilled I am that there are so many people out this way! I got to meet Carolyn and Tanya in person, and they are super-nice...

   excitedtobehere replied to callduck's topic in Virginia

   Hi Dave! You're right... I think Carolyn found 5 people (including myself) in our class that live in Loudoun. You make 6. A carpool is definitely the way to go. I guess when it gets closer, we can figure out the details, and who's interested in doing...

7. NVCC Class of 2013 Meet and Greet + Q&A

   excitedtobehere replied to callduck's topic in Virginia

   Yay! Then I guess I'll sign up now! I'm thrilled it's less expensive and shorter than MEC's! I'm 5'9, so I usually need a 33.5 inch inseam. Maybe they have more sizes if I actually go in to the bookstore. We'll see!

9. Acceptance to NVCC Fall 2011 Program!!!

   excitedtobehere replied to NursingGCW's topic in Virginia

   Oh no! I'm so sorry! My friend got bad news as well... Hopefully, they've told you what you can do for next year to make yourself more competitive, and you can start chipping away at your corequisites. Don't give up on your dream! This little bump in...

10. Acceptance to NVCC Fall 2011 Program!!!

    excitedtobehere replied to NursingGCW's topic in Virginia

    150 applicants doesn't sound right to me... I can tell you, based on the sheer number of people that were in the MEC testing center on the last day, that that number is highly unlikely. The line to take the TEAS was out the door and around the corner...

11. Acceptance to NVCC Fall 2011 Program!!!

    excitedtobehere replied to NursingGCW's topic in Virginia

    It feels that way! Luckily, the CPR classes are pretty frequent, so it should be easy to find one that works with your schedule. This background check business/drug test I'm wondering about... Sounds like it may take awhile to get the results back. T...

    Where do you live? That could be part of it. Are you out of state?

14. Acceptance to NVCC Fall 2011 Program!!!

    excitedtobehere replied to NursingGCW's topic in Virginia

    Exactly! Not to mention saving an hour and a half of our time! A lot closer, too! It's definitely AHA, but I'll verify with Mrs. Vito just to be sure. Thanks, thirdcareer!

15. Acceptance to NVCC Fall 2011 Program!!!

    excitedtobehere replied to NursingGCW's topic in Virginia

    It appears to have been sent to everyone that received a letter so far... At least from what I can tell from this website and from some people in my current classes. One of my friends didn't receive the email and hasn't gotten her letter yet. I HO...
