NCTC ADN Fall 2020

Published

Anyone else applying to ADN program at NCTC in Gainesville for Fall 2020? Still waiting to hear back about my status, just making sure I didn't miss the email.

I emailed Dr. Stankus yesterday letting her know I'm interested and asked if what I did was correct (put RN BSN on the app) She said that was correct and to just monitor my email in case they are missing anything. They already got my app from applytx and a few transcripts have arrived. I've gone to lots of colleges LOL that would be really cool if several of us were able to do the blended program, it'll make it seem less scary LOL

Did Stankus say she was gonna send out some kind of packet today?

Oh so they are working fast over there. That's a good sign! I think she did say something about sending a packet out but I don't know when we will be getting them. They only accept a few into the blended program usually though. I think there was 6 of us in our cohort yesterday.

Maybe in the past they've only had a couple people who qualify in each class? That would be crappy if they invited all 6 of us to the info session and then only accepted 2 or 3 LOL

They may have many that qualify but they always invite less than 7 or 8 and it's up to those that are invited whether or not they want to participate. Once you're invited that's an automatic yes from them.

I just checked the schedule for the first 7 week course that we would start in August, the intro to BS nursing, it still has 24 seats open with only 6 enrolled so far LOL that seems odd for it being only about 2 weeks out.

Maybe everyone is running a little behind like we are... Corona season has everything in disarray LOL. I'm still waiting on my Major change to be approved ?

Hey guys, I have been following your conversation about the blended ADN/BSN program....do you apply to the program concurrently or do you apply to it after you have been accepted into the ADN program first. Also do you guys know the range of points of the applicants who got into the program for the fall cohort. Being that the maximum was 28 points, what was the range for your cohort? Thank you!

It does suck that everything is delayed, honestly when it took so long for us to hear back from the ADN program I thought it was gonna be canceled due to lack of clinicals, etc. They've actually been really quick with my app stuff, all of my transcripts are on file now and my app status says "ready for review". By whom, I don't know LOL so hopefully they'll switch yours soon too!

After you apply and get accepted to the ADN program, they'll let you know if you qualify for the BSN program and then you apply to that.

As far as points, I think I had 22? Not sure what the rest of the applicants had. But it was also a weird semester to apply with covid going on, people losing their jobs and maybe not being able to accept a spot due to financial situations, etc. So it's hard to say if this semester is similar to the others in the past.

Thanks, were there a reduction in the number of applicants taken as well due to covid?

I also had 22 points. I do know that there was an overall reduction in accepted applicants due to COVID though.
