Hi, I had many classes that I took at a different college that were part of the pre or corequisites for nursing. Those grades do not count towards your actual Nassau average, but they do get counted (with whatever grade you got) for admission to the ...

KKING, all your grades will count except for the effective communication one. I had credits from another school and even though I finished 9 classes at NCC with a 4.0, my grades for prereqs taken at another school were added which lowered my gpa to 3...

You have to try and get the best grades possible, but even with a 4.0 you probably won't get in if all you have are the 4 prereqs. You should take as many of the non nursing classes as you can before applying b/c they will take someone with a 3.5 and...

Alli, I actually just re-read your post. I was actually wondering about the spring semester so that I could try to work out a work schedule for the year. I will still go to school tho, because I'm real curious about who my teachers will be.

Hello, I remember that at orientatioon they said that eventually you will go to clinical 2 days a week. What days are they for the evening program? Are they always the same? We have clinical on Thursday now, so do we keep going on Thurs every semeste...

Thanks so much everyone for replying. I will go check the schedule at school. I really would have never thought that they would know the schedule this far in advance. Thanks, Ehope

Thank you so much for replying. I was interested in applying for a new position and was wondering if I would have a constant schedule throughout the 2 years. I guess I will not be able to do that since I may need to change my schedule every semester....

"We all got our payouts and just simply moved on. " Mother23, thanks for taking the time to write this. I was seriously considering applying for this once done with school, but if the situation is that dire I don't know if it's worth it. I want to ge...

At our orientation the other day, they said that women must wear white stockings or tights under our scrub pants to clinicals (no knee highs allowed) in case that we need to change into a scrub dress. Why would we ever have to change into a dress?? I...

Thanks everyone for answering such a silly question. I guess I'll wear the stupid tights just in case. Also, maybe the support hose will be better than regular ones so I'll give them a try. Alli, it's good to know that maybe I won't ever have to act...

I'm taking algebra and trig for the 1st summer session, and elementary functions in calculus for the 2nd....Yeah, It's gonna be a looong summer.

Alli, thanks for your reply. I already took it out and for some reason, the hole starts closing right away. I can't keep taking it in and out because it hurts/bleeds and I really don't want to get an infection. I will miss it though....Also, I just w...

Good luck! I'll be there at 2:30.

Also, this is going to sound totally stupid, but I just took out my nose ring and miss it already...I know better than showing up to the interview/orientation with it in, and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to keep it during school. It just sucks, becaus...

Hi Nat, Good luck to you too! I was very excited yesterday, but now I'm just tired because I couldn't sleep.

Hi Trying, If I were you I would contact the school. They will be able to give you a list of all the classes you need to take before you can apply for the nursing program. Since you've never been to college you will have to take English (composition ...

Your post really reminds me of my relationship with my ex boyfriend. We constantly went through cycles of this passive-aggressive negativity about anything that would change in my life. At first he would make a big stink about it, then he would grudg...

I really feel so terrible for her because I know how hard she worked for her grades (which were actually very good, but competition at our school is insane) and has had a string of misfortunes in her personal life, so this would have been such a posi...

Thank all you guys for replying. I don't think she's emotionally ready to reapply right now, but I'm hoping she will not give up and try again next semester. There may also be a chance that she will get in for fall because she is one of the top 10 on...

I'm so happy you actually called them. I remember them saying that the interview is a formality at the info sessions but it's good to hear it from them now. I'll see you guys there. And you're right, my letter says May 20th is advisement/registration...

Yeah, their podcasts are great. I really used them when taking A&P 1 and 2 and think it really helped me. Not all the classes are great, but if you scroll between the different years you will find a teacher whose teaching style you like. Rescue,...

Hi guys, I finally broke down and decided to ask. The anticipation is killing me and I'm driving everyone around me crazy.... The only good thing is that my nervousness is controlled by physical activity, so I'm working out a lot more right now. For...

Hi, I don't know about the other schools, but for Nassau they only look at your grades from classes that apply to the nursing program. They calculate your GPA based on that. My overall GPA from my 1st bachelor was 3.4, but luckily I got good grades i...

Thanks Nat! My interview is on May 20th also. See you there.

Hi Natingale, that's awesome!!! Congratulations. I just got the same letter myself and feel so relieved right now. Nervous, but relieved. Does anyone know what the interview is all about? They said it was mostly a formality, but can anyone who went ...
