First, congratulations, 2nd trust me. . . never argue with a professor. Ever, ever, ever. Second, do your best and make arrangements so that you can give it your all. The Test Taking for Success books they sell on campus really really helped. Best of luck!!

hey :) i'm going to apply to ncc nursing prog. in march. I read one of your posts, and there's an interview? A woman in the nursing dept. said they dont give interviews. Im a little confussed :*(

Also if you have around a 3.3 gpa. could i get in?

I did NUR 103/104 back in Fall 06, back then, I do not recall having to ever do an interview. . . 3.3 is a good GPA, though I think at the time I applied my gpa was around 3.8 and I got in on my first try. It's hard to say if you would/wouldn't get in, as I know 2 factors they look is if you live in Nassau County and also your gpa, they start from the top 4.0 and down - they also look at how many credits you have - most students I encountered not only had their prerequisites but most credits done with the exception of nursing. I truly wish you the best of luck. :typing

Hi!! I just did the interview, which is not much really. When you apply and get the acceptance letter, it states that it is a tenetative acceptance letter. Then they have you come in in a group and have an orientation, supplies, immunizations, uniforms, etc. and you go off indivindually and they just speak with you for a minute or two. In my group of about 40 no one was turned away.

Thanks chiquilina for your reply. I hope they accept me, because i took a few courses that i didnt even need ( i was in another major before i decided to switch to nursing) which brought down my gpa. I would say i have atleast 100+ credits. Would you maybe know if me having more credits might be of some advantage to me?

Anyone :confused:

Thank you!!:redbeathe

I'm just about done with all of the classes that are required for graduation. I just need to do my medical micro, a sociology and a psych. and that's it. If i do good in those classes, could my chances of getting accepted increase?

I hope!!!!!!

It depends ..if they have 170 seats available, and 170 people have a higher ranking score than you do then keep reapplying.

Go to those nursing orientation meetings, theres a Q&A session and its very informative. They will answer all your questions, and help guide you. Good luck.

Want to do good 86,

When you apply to the nursing program at NCC, the gpa they look at is only for the four pre-requiste classes. So if there is a not so good grade on any other class that doesn't count. The nursing infromation sessions are very helpful you can find out the dates on NCC website.

The good news is also - and I know this for a fact, they will ONLY factor in your gpa for the classes needed for pre-requesities and also for any nursing classes (micro, etc). So if you didn't do great on other courses that do not count towards the nursing they will not count it. I wish you the best of luck, but also don't forget, NCC might be great for convenience (location, commute, $$), etc, but there are also other schools that are very decent - St. Vincent's School of Nursing in Queens (flushing) is supposed to be very good as well (they do an AA degree) and I believe they will take most credits that count towards their nursing curriculum. - they do have a website, though I do not know what it is, their campus is located in Horace Harding Expresseay, in Queens, - they have a night time as well as a day time program. SUNY Farmingdale also has an AA program in Nursing. So do not get discouraged. Things may not happen in the frametime you need them do, but as long as you keep at it you can get it done. :stdnrsrck:
