I've been watching videos too and trying to find out information from previous NVCC students! I'm so nervous that I won't get in that the anxiety is killing me! Does anyone know what the uniforms look like? Or if we will be allowed to bring out own stethoscopes? Anyone down to make a study group and a Facebook page too once we find out?

Sure Im down for the facebook add once we get in( YES Im speaking it into existence lol). I know from being on campus that I see the nursing students wearing green pants and white jackets. I dont know about the stethoscopes but Im thinking everything must be purchased from the same vendor. I rather save my money for a special stethoscope for pinning ceremony.

Today is Tuesday and I’m just going through a roller coaster of emotions because next week can determine my future in a career that I would Love and help provide for my family. Feeling a little worried .

I wonder will we know on the 21st? Probably not. Either way it’s torturous lol.

hi guys

I remember being in your shoe waiting to find out if I got in.

The program is very fast-paced.

Check this out 80% is a C and 92% is an A.

We only wear our uniforms to clinical sites and that's mandatory, however, you can also wear it to your labs too.

You buy your own stethoscope and facebook page is a must that's how we keep up and in touch with each other.

Good luck guys,

One week left until we might start to hear back! Has anyone started reviewing any nursing material in preparation?

We just checked and looks like decisions won't go out until Oct 28 at the earliest.

Okay thank you so much for letting us know.

If you still have co-requisite courses left to take, we recommend taking them over the Spring 2020 and Summer 2020 semesters. This will help reduce your course load. Students can use that extra time to take transfer oriented courses and/or participate in co-enrollment programs. GMU is very popular however ODU also has an excellent one too.

You can also check out our free tutoring services for nursing students, https://www.nvcc.edu/medical/tutoring/resources.html and familiarize yourself with resources available on our campus.

I’m really interested in ODU. Thank you!
