NCCC students help!! Radiology and Nursing

Published

I've been researching schools in New York for radiology and nursing and I was looking to get advice from people who may know about this school. First off, for both of these programs, do they have entry to the professional program for both fall and spring? How many students does each program take and how competitive is it? Also, according to their website, it seems like they accept credits from almost any school! Thats impressive but I might be wrong. I'm thinking about transferring from Trocaire college to here. The radiology program here is super competitive and only takes students in the fall. If you are an NCCC student, what advice do you have for me?.....P.S. I've already taken my anatomy classes, micro., and a bunch of other classes including physics and ethics, would these classes transfer?

There's 2 NOs. It's not online or accredited. Are you sure you're looking at niagara county community college?

I see, I was looking at the wrong school. My apologies. I thought you were talking about Nassau County Community College.

Lol yeah, I guess it's best to avoid that school.

tells you right there on niagara county community colleges page under nursing program where it is accredited through.

And no one got accepted with a 2.3 gpa. Admissions doesn't even take care of that you need to speak to nursing admissions.

Hmm that's wierd. Maybe they changed to accredited, I don't know. What kind of gpa do you need on average to get in? Also, do you know if I have to take a lpn-rn transition course?

Usually about 3.0 and up and the only thing they have for Lpns is that you will be exempt from clinicals in nursing 1&2 but you still have to take nursing 1-4

So I can start second or third semester?

You have to start in nursing 1 which is the first semester and it is ran in the fall, if approved you just don't have to go to clinicals until semester 3

Ah I see. It's amazing to see that every school does lpn-rn so differently.

Yeah lol would be nice if you could find a school that would let you just finish your RN in one year instead of 2

There is one school that does that in ny. It's called GCC but it's too far. Also, the last semester is 15 credit hours and that's with all your electives out of the way. That semester might take me two semestes anyways because it's a big class load so I might as well take it at trocaire (3 semesters part time for RN).
