NCC Spring 2021 NASSAU COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Published

Hi Everyone, I am a Liberal Arts student at NCC right now and interested in "Change of Program" to Nursing for Spring 2021. I have almost all the Pre-reqs done with 3.7 GPA. Only thing I worry about at this moment is the TEAS Exam. I did not take the TEAS yet and due to the COVID-19, there's no any test date available in my area. Do you guys know if they would consider my application without the TEAS? Please let me know if you know anything about this situation. Thank you

I asked when rejection/waitlist emails get sent and she said "next week." LOL what a joke 

So it’s safe to assume that if a student didn’t receive an acceptance email yesterday we are waiting on rejection emails! Oh dear! It is what it is. I give up and move forward. What I don’t understand is they colleges and hospitals work together to play these monopoly games; yet you hear nationwide nurse shortages! Well if that they issue then open up more seats or change the system! Smh this is all about money and hierarchy nonsense

I hope to make you all feel better — I’ve read multiple forums from past semesters stating that there has always been a lack of communication between admissions & the nursing department. I believe that the admission department didn’t sent out approvals yet. Also— I’ve applied in the past and I got my denial letter last semester the same time everyone else got their approvals. So I don’t think they are done yet! Stay hopeful!

Also for those of you waiting — it states we must reserve our seat by December 4th. So if you have people who deny their seat / don’t respond... that will open up more spots!

I honestly have no idea, I'm assuming I applied through admissions because when I emailed them in September/October about TEAS, I was getting emails from admissions@ncc

Well for those who got in so far, I don't know how many points y'all got but im guessing they haven't reached people who are in the 150-160 point bracket, because thats the one im in.

How about everyone else?

Can you or anyone clarify how the points are calculated?

The point guide...

Take your classes completed so far and calculate the following based on your grade:

A= 4.0

B+= 3.5

B= 3.0

C+=2.5

C= 2.0

Then look at each *subject* of your TEAS... They don't look at overall score.

If you scored 58.7-80%, thats 5 points. 

81-90%, thats 10 points.

91-100% thats 15 points.

BUT... past discussions on here seem torn on whether or not the science part is counted so make of that what you will.

Lastly.. If you're a nassau resident, you get 10 points. If you never been in a nursing program before thats 5 points.

For me I counted 152-157, because I don't know if science is counted or not

Does anyone know how long it takes to complete this degree? Because I'm looking at the curriculum and we already have many courses completed as pre-reqs.
