Yes, I had my interview in Nov. 03 and then got my acceptance letter in Jan. 04. So yes I had my interview first. Like I said I didn't take the TEAS test until THIS July I think on 5th. I know it was the first week in July. And they specifically said to me that this has nothing to do with being accepted. I guess we all had that look on our face. :uhoh21: You will do fine. I haven't received my results back as of yet either and really haven't thought about it until I saw your post.
I am really excited to be going to Bon Secours. I had a friend to graduate May 03 and she had nothing but wonderful things to say about the program. They keep you really involved there with all the activities they have amongst the students. They have their hands in everthing. It is a really great diploma program. Yes there staff is very professional and they always return your call promptly. No waiting weeks or months for an answer to any question you may have. They don't mind you calling check on your status or anything. They are really nice and undestanding. And the financial aide lady OH MY GOD!!! they need more like her gets real one-on-one with you and makes sure you have all the things you need no running around or mis-information she was on point.
You know I could go on and on about that school so I am going to go before I can't stop. But if you want more information on anything I don't mind answering your questions (if I can). :)
Good luck with your acceptance process I know you will do fine and soon will be a Bon Secours nursing student.

Well that's great. I'm feeling much better about the TEAS test. :) Well, I know you must be really excited about starting up. Will you be in the part time, accelerated, or full time program? I'm hoping that I'll be able to do the accelerated program. I've only got 4 more classes to go and then all I'll have left is nursing classes. Assuming I get accepted.

Have you thought about where you want to work when you graduate? I noticed on the website that the Bon Secours hospital has won numerous awards for generally being a wonderful place to work. That's really encouraging.

Best of luck to you!

Hi. Just reading some of the postings and thought I'd say that I'm going to Bon Secours currently. I will finish up my last two semesters (Yea!) and be done! I have loved being there and have found all the teachers to be helpful and knowledgeable. My NUR 100 teacher still says hello and calls me by name in the hall. I would recommend the program for those who want more clinical time. I must admit that I'm envious of a friend of mine who went to PVCC at the same time I did and has finished already. However, she was on their wait list for a while before getting in. Being 31 already, I didn't want to be on a waiting list. The entrance test and essay was easy enough. Good luck with your decision. Feel free to ask me questions or look me up if you decide to go there! Cindi

I will be doing the full-time day program. I still have 7 more pre-reqs to take. I won't be finish until 5/2007 maybe earlier being that I have 1/2 of my pre-req's taken.

I think I want to work for bon secours their new hospital St.Frances. But, I think I really want to be at MCV/Level 1 trauma center in one of their ICU's or in the OR. I will see when I get to that point.
