Nassau Community College

I was there yesterday and people were coming to fill out that application like crazy. I hope you guys get in. I went to get information on the LPN to RN program. I wish I knew someone who did their LPN to RN advanced standing program. I was curious to know if they cut clinical time. I saw the schedule on the board for Spring and the classes look sooooo spread out.

Hi Tracy,

I am currently in the NCC Nursing program. It is a very tough program to get into. If you have a GPA of 3.5 or higher, preferably higher, and have completed all the pre-reqs you have a better chance of getting in. Farmingdale has a nursing program as well as Malloy & Aldelphi. If community college is the route you want to take, try Queens college or Suffolk county. Don't give up on your dream. Sometimes the best things in life are the ones we worked hardest for. Don't be embarrassed about how many times you've applied. Everyone knows how tough it is to get in. Be proud of yourself and of your determination. I wish you all the best.

Does anyone here know anything about Farmingdales program? It is very difficult to get into? Is it very very hard? Any info on Farmingdale would be appreciated

I heard you need god grades for A&P I and II and a rockin score on the PAX-RN. Deadline for Fall '09 is December.

Good luck

I have a friend in Farmingdale's program. You can get info for it online. Also, Farmingdale requires chemistry which Nassau doesn't.

from what I understand, Chem w/lab is only required for straight from hs applicants to be accepted. For transfers, pre reqs are A&P I & II, eng 101 and psy 101. Chem is a part of the curriculum. All info is on the website.

I dropped off my application last Friday. I had a few questions for the staff... mainly because on my transcript, I had 2 math grades.. one being a B and one a D+ and I wanted to MAKE SURE they would take the higher grade. But no one seemed interested in talking to me (even though no one else was there but me!) Either way... last Friday dropped off my application. If I did the calculations right my GPA should be a 3.74. I already have all my pre-reqs and the ones I am missing are in the making right now. So all I have to do is wait :// Best of luck to all other applicants!! I feel your pain and anxiety!

sprocida,

i might be wrong, but i thought there was a deadline for applications for spring? what semester are you applying for? maybe that’s why you got the cold shoulder when you started asking questions. either way they should have answered your questions. sorry to hear that.

spring deadline is sept 24. acceptance letters go out last week of nov. I believe the highest grade will be considered. My academic advisor in the Honors program verified this with the Nursing dept when I was registering for the Fall.

Sporicada, what classes are you taking this semester?

Yeah there was a time period between 10/6 and 10/24 9-3 M-F for the Spring nursing program. So I was well within the time frame. I dropped it off on the 10th of October.

I am taking A&P 2, PSY - Child Development, Spanish 101 and SOC 212 (Social Probems).

And the deadline for Spring 2009 is definitely 10/24/2008 if you call the nursing number for NCC 516-572-7234 it says it on the message when they are accepting applications.

I'm taking a&p2 too.
