We are the Advisors and Counselors at the Medical Education Campus with Northern Virginia Community College. We will attempt to answer your questions about the upcoming Spring 2021 Nursing admissions process.
All course work must be final by the program deadline of September 20, 2020. Course work that
Ends after the deadline of September 20, 2020, will not count
has not transferred AND posted to your NOVA account from an external school Including other VCCS schools, will not count.
For example, you submit your GMU transcript on September 20, 2020, and your transfer credit post-September 31, your applicants would have been rejected.
Common reasons applications don't make it past the initial review for eligibility
The student did not take a course listed as an entry requirement
The student took a course listed as an entry requirement but never transferred the credit to NOVA via the official transfer credit process.
The student had a C- or did not take a required high school level course
The student never provided their high school transcript with their application.
We are still waiting on the final word for the ATI TEAS exam. Check our website for an update on July 17.

Completion of BIO 141
Completion fo PSY 230

Provide high school transcript-
If your high school was in a different country you will need a course by course evaluation by either www.ece.org or www.ierf.org.
All students regardless of the level of education are required to provide their high school transcripts
not doing so will automatically flag your application and lead to a rejection
Show that you took and passed in high school or college with a C or better [not C-]. If you took some other science course in place of Chemistry for example it is likely that it will not count.

I was wondering if it was just me. I sent my email the same day and didn’t hear back yet. Maybe it takes time for them to go through and verify everybody who responds.
Congratulations, I’m glad to hear you got your letter of acceptance. Good luck!
Hey, I received a confirmation an hour ago. Check your email.
Hey! For those who were accepted, do you know which specific test we need for the drug screening? The test name on the registration form doesn't match anything on the Quest website (10 Panel Urine + OPI + MDMA) when trying to make an appointment.

Hi,
On the bottom of the order there should be some locations listed that are close to where you live you can just go and walk in. You do not need to make an appointment. I went yesterday and was in and out very quickly.

Thank you! I was going to make one just in case since I wasn’t sure how busy it might be. Did we need to fast or anything or just go in
So which test are we doing? I am kind of lost. ? Also, where it states clinical requirements, do we also need to complete that now?
On the CastleBranch site it should said Drug Test on the site and there is a blue circle with a plus sign in it. you can click on it and it will drag down so that you can print out the drug screen order. I started working on the required clinical requirements already. I would knock out as much as you can now so you don't have to do it later.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions. I really appreciate it! I am going to start on the clinical requirements as soon as possible but I was confused whether we had to do them before semester started in January. I mean do we have to have ALL the clinical requirements done before January? That’s what’s I am confused about. Because I have to be updated on all my of vaccines. I mean do they kick you out do the program if you don’t get all the vaccinations by January?

You are welcome, we have to support one another now with nursing school. I don't think you have to get all of them right away because some of them have months in between. Im sure they just want to see that you have started getting them. Thats how it was when I got my Certified Clinical Medical Assisting Certificate. This is my second time using CastleBranch. But make sure you get in to do the physical soon and the TB test is a two step test so you'll have to go back a few times to have the test read.
