Hi everyone! I am a new member. I recently applied to NHCC evening/weekend nursing program for a Fall 2007 start. I already have my BA in another field, so I only have A/P and Micro to finish up as generals. I am starting A/P Jan 17 :monkeydance: . Does anyone here go to NHCC? What have your experiences been like with regard to their nursing program? Where are clinicals- do you have a choice? On the App it asked if you would like St Cloud or Metro clinicals. I chose metro- have you all found this to be a guarantee? I am very interested in going into Neonatal nursing- as you can see by my name I've had 3 preemies. Has anyone been able to have clinical experiences int his area?

Thanks!

I am applying in January for fall 2008 because that is when I will have A & P 1 finished. If I were excepted to the program in fall of 08 I would have everything completed. I guess what i am asking is if most people had all required biology classes finshed when they applied. ps thanks for the email warning!

Specializes in orthopedics, ED observation.

I can't remember if I was done w/ biology courses... Actually, I must have had Microbiology left when I applied, but was done before start of the nursing program. And, if I remember correctly, I was actually enrolled in Micro when I received my acceptance letter. So, about the same timeline of getting prereqs done that you are currently on. (especially if you take A&P II and your final GenEd credit either this spring or through the summer!)

Good-luck to you!

Did someone here say they had Kumar for A/P2? Just wondering if you were able to pull off an A? I have her now and was sitting at 91%, but just got blasted with a 78 on a test! YIKES>

Jessica, is that you? I'm just guessing from the 3 preemie mom name.

This is Erica. That test was awful. There are 2 girls that sit on my side of the room who both have mid-90's averages and got C's on that test.

Hi all! I'm planning on applying to NHCC for next fall, probably the Night/weekend option but was wondering if one or the other is more competitive? Also, I currently don't have any credits at NHCC, still need to take micro and physio but I have all the others, I believe. I have a BA (good gpa) already and am currently in the Peace Corps doing health work, but it sounds like that doesn't really factor in on the acceptance decisions, right? I'm feeling kinda pessimistic about my chances. What do y'all think?

HI ! Good for you...NHCC's program is great! I can tell you for sure that you need 3 of the 4 (bio, A/P 1, A/P 2, Micro) required sciences complete before you apply to the nursing program to be considered. Hope that info helps and GOOD LUCK!! They go strictly on grades...point system.

Btw, there are more seats int eh day program than the night/weekend, however it all depends how many apply to each as to how competitive it is.

I am currently in the night and weekend program at NHCC. You do need at least 3 of the 4 sciences done to be competitive. I also know that if it comes down to you and another student with similair criteria, they do give more points to the student who took more classes at NHCC. I believe most people had a GPA of at least 3.5 if not higher. N&W only had 50 slots available, and I believe that day program has around 80.

Good choice of schools for your ADN. We have the highest pass rate in the state for NCLEX than any other ADN program. You can check it out on the MN board of nursing website.

Good luck!
