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.

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

Would anyone want to be in some kind of group chat for those who were accepted (groupme or whatsapp)? Other than from the symposium I want to try to get to know some of the people! I figured it would also help with the castlebranch if we have any questions.
I want to ask about a cohort-driven course. if anyone took this style of classes before. how is it? what are the differences between normal online classes and the cohort-driven classes.
Hello everyone congrats on your acceptances but I still haven’t received anacceptance email I emailed them yesterday still no responses. yes, I got the email after applying in August should I email them a second time or wait ?

You didn't receive an email at all? Did the email you got state your application had moved on to the second step? And did you receive any email after that? I would call the campus to talk to someone or email the MEC counselor.

Yes I did get an email saying that I moved to the second step that’s the thing I will call the campus tomorrow and send the applymec another email but thanks !!
I printed out my drug order confirmation and the drug screening order itself, but the instruction also say to take the "e-chain" with me, what is that? I never got an email from CB saying my drug order was ready, I had to log into CB and find it myself. Is the e-chain really needed if I have everything else?
Also, I went on Quest to make an appointment but can't find the specific drug panel they are requesting. I really don't want to be a walk-in because at my local Quest it's soooo busy and I'll be sitting there for 4 hours and they even have a sign on the door saying walk-ins may not be taken
The chain...is the chain of custody form. It's the one with the bar code on it. I did an appointment online. I just clicked employer drug test. When I arrived they just scan the code. I hope that helps.
Has anyone taken their CPR training yet? Did you do online or in person?
I tried looking on the AMA website for a class but can't find any. Maybe I'm searching wrong. I can't find a class for Healthcare Provider w Basic Life and AED for Infant, child and adult (taken from Castlebranch as what we need)
For anyone who have been in the program or applied and now have your schedule, when did the clinicals start? I will not fit the age requirements until January 2022 (I will fit it before January 7) but I want to apply for January 2022. Can I do that?

We were able to choose between 2 different dates for the clinical because of COVID and it’s alternating every other week. We had to pick between last week of January or first week of February to start it.
