Congratulations! I just found out last week that I was also accepted!

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has been accepted yet to the nursing program at NVCC for this coming up fall semester. I always hear a bunch of different things concerning the program. I was told that they are not going to let anyone know whether or not they are accepted until after the due date for the application. Supposedly they are going to change the admissions process to make it more competitive. This is what I was told when I handed in my checklist. Does anyone know anything more about the changes they are going to be making?

Hi, I was just wondering if you had any idea about when the spots for the NVCC program start filling up. I'm taking the TEAS exam this week and also turning in my checklist but I'm a little worried about my chances of being accepted. Thanks!

I'm going to try to go for the BSN but I've heard they ask for GPA's that are 3.7+, which I don't have

When did you turn in your application last year? I am taking the TEAS exam this week and plan on turning in my checklist the same day I take the exam. I just want to get a feel for what my chances are at being accepted. I know they use rolling admissions so my grades aren't much of a factor, I'm just worried about the spaces in the program being filled up by the time I turn everything in. Thanks!!

I will let you know what happens but I don't think the nursing department starts telling people if they've been accepted until sometime around april or may. At least that's what I've been told. I really have my heart set on studying nursing, however, I might try and get into a 2nd degree Food & Nutrition Science program as my "plan B."

Hi thanks for the reply! I'm actually a little more interested in finding out more information about the regular LPN program, unless of course it is easier to get into the bilingual program. Haha but I don't know if I would be allowed into the bilingual program since I was born in the USA and speak fluent English:roll .

Yes I'm definitely applying to NVCC. I'm actually turning in my checklist today. I'm not too hopeful about getting in though because I know a lot of other people have already turned in their applications, but who knows.

I just wanted to thank eveyone for taking the time to reply. I'm not feeling too bad about getting into a nursing program anymore... I'm planning on sending out applications to all of the Associate degree RN programs in my home state, Virginia. Hopefully someone will take me. If not my back up plan is to just study nursing here in Spain. The college entrance exam for international students is suprisingly easy and tuition is only about $1,000 per year (not semester!!) at the public universities. Staying here would acutally be my first choice if it wasn't for the fact A) I'm not an EU citizen so I can't legally get a job B) I've already been living here for about a year and a half and am really missing my family and friends

Hi, I tried typing Hohokus into the search engine and didn't come up with much. I was just wondering if anyone out there could give me some information on the LPN program at Hohokus. Do the classes there count as college credit if you try to apply for an RN program after graduating? Is there a lot of competition to get in? Approx. how much is tuition? I didn't find too much information on their website and I would call but I am in Spain right now. Thanks

Hi, thanks for the replies. My goal is to eventually become an RN, I'm just not sure if I would have a better chance of getting there by applying directly to an RN program or if it would be easier to get into an LPN program first (which in many cases is the same curriculum as the first year of an RN program) and THEN applying for advanced placement into an RN program the following year. If I do that it should take me between 2-2.5 years to become an RN, which includes 1 year in the LPN program... unless of course something goes horribly wrong, but I doubt it

Hi, I have a question for you all... hopefully someone can give me some advice. I'm debating whether or not I should apply to 2 year RN programs or first doing an LPN program and then go to an RN program after graduating. Here's a little bit about myself. I have already graduated with a BA in Spanish from George Mason University, my gpa was a 3.16. While at GMU I took Developmental Psyc, English Composition I&II, Calculus, Communications, Intro to Psyc, 8 Credits of General Biology among other classes. I have taken NAS 161 and 162 (should transfer as A&P I and II and Microbiology) and Bio-medical Ethics at Northern Virginia CC. My gpa at NVCC is a 3.0. So I believe I currently have all the non-nursing classes for both RN and LPN programs out of the way (except for the ones that require chemistry). I'm determined to get accepted SOMEWHERE for Fall 2007. From what I understand, an LPN program would take me 1 year (since I already have several classes out of the way) and I would need to study an extra year (possibly 2) to become an RN. If this is the case I have no preference over going to an LPN or RN program, all that matters to me is getting into a decent program where I have a reasonable chance of being accepted. I am not even considereing BA programs because I don't believe my gpa is high enough. Any advice? NVCC is my first choice but if anyone has other ideas I would love to hear them.

I'm currently looking at Howard CC but I don't know what my chances are of getting accepted.
