Hey Everyone!!!! i didnt see a thread for NCC spring 2015 nursing program, so i figured i start one. Anyone plan on applying for spring semester?

You could also share some insight if you're already in the program. Like how the application process was for you and your gpa as well as TEAS scores. im sure any info would be helpful.

I'm starting in spring 2015 but I'm in the advanced LPN to RN program so I'm skipping NUR101 and going right onto NUR105. Probably not what you were looking for as far as a response, but I'll be there in the spring

Is the LPN-RN program deadline earlier than the regular program?

Check out these two threads from Fall 2014 applicants. It should help you out:

I was accepted to NCC's nursing program for fall 2014 but decided on another school. It sounds like a great program, new facilities on campus, and has a good reputation. Plus, tuition is great! Basically, make sure you have taken the pre-requisite courses, and the TEAS exam. They only go by the GPA of the pre-requisite courses (they don't care about what you got in other courses, even if they count towards the program). For me, I had a 4.0 in the prereqs and a 90% (99%tile) on the TEAS, however there is really a range of scores and GPAs (though you have to have at least a 3.0 to apply I believe). Go on the website and see if they have the dates for the Fall semester open houses so you can go to one. They give you info, it's in one of the nursing labs, and the chair of the department answers all your questions.

Once the application process opens, you make sure all your transcripts are in, then you submit student/unofficial copies of them, along with a copy of your TEAS results (you should also have them sent to the school), directly to the nursing department (you go there and fill out a change of major form as well). Then you wait until they send the letters out. It came in a regular sized envelope, and I think it had just the acceptance letter, can't remember (I'm pretty sure I mentioned what was in it in the prior threads).

Check out the two threads to see more stats of accepted applicants for the upcoming class.

Hope that helps!

I'm not sure if the deadlines match up. Were you accepted? Since I'm doing the LPN to RN, I've known I'm accepted since last spring. I'm taking the mandatory NUR100 class this fall then onto NUR105 in jan. I'm not sure if that one credit class is just for the bridge program. Do you have all your pre reqs done?

I didn't have to take the teas since I'm a LPN so I'm not sure about that.

I just finished applying and sending out my transcripts. I believe the deadline is Oct 1. I have completed all my pre-reqs. The only class i haven't completed is A&P 2 (which isn't a pre-req), which i plan on taking in the summer.

A&P II was a pre req for me, maybe because I'm in the LPN-RN? Anyway I took it this past summer. It's a 4 month class squeezed into 5 weeks. It was intense! Plus I work over nights so it was crazy. It was a lot of work and you have to get a C or better. I worked my butt off and was able to pull off getting an A. Be prepared! Good luck to you and I hope you get in!

Hi everyone,

I'm planning on applying in October for the Spring 2015 nursing program at NCC. I have a bachelors and I'm taking all of the science prerequisites that would apply for a BSN. I have a 3.8 average and I'm currently enrolled in AHS132 and Human Development. My question is since the AAS degree is mostly classes that I've taken already since I have a bachelors what would the timeframe be for me to finish the program. Also I'm debating whether or not I should even considering applying because everyone I speak to informs me that most hospitals are not hiring any associates nursing entry level RN's. Anyone who has graduated or has any input on the subject I would really appreciate it! Thanks! Oh! I also wanted to know how long it takes to register for the TEAS and if there is anyway to prep or study for them? Thank guys!!& Good Luck to anyone applying this year!!
