I'm planning to attend the NCC Nursing Evening Program and am currently navigating the admissions process. I attended one of the information sessions a while ago and will be attending another one soon, but I had a few questions for students who have gone through or are currently in the program. I already have a bachelor's degree from SUNY Empire, so I have quite a few transfer credits. I reached out to admissions to ask if they could review my transcripts and let me know which courses would transfer, but I was told that this is done on a case-by-case basis and is not guaranteed. I was wondering if anyone here had a similar experience with transferring credits from a previous degree. For example, I completed Anatomy & Physiology, but my course was listed as BIO 171 instead of AHS 131, and several of my other courses have similar differences in course numbers. I'm curious how flexible NCC was with accepting those types of credits. If my credits do transfer, I'm planning to complete the remaining science prerequisites ahead of time so that, if admitted, I would be left with only the nursing core classes during the program to help ease the course load. Has anyone taken a similar approach, and if so, how did it work out for you?
I also wanted to confirm something about the Evening Program schedule. Are labs and clinicals truly held in the evening as well? I'm unable to attend anything before 5:00 PM. The flyer I saw included a sample schedule showing evening lectures, labs, and clinicals, but I just wanted to confirm that this is the case.
Thank you so much in advance !! I really appreciate any insight you can share!
