  1. Fortis College

    FirefightersWife posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    Has anyone looked into or attended Fortis College? They have several Virginia locations, including one here in Richmond. I've never heard of them, but just saw a commercial on TV and was looking into...

  2. BSMC & JTCC Spring 2011 Applicants

    FirefightersWife replied to nm483's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I looked into the Southside Regional program at one point. The biggest issue for me is I live between Richmond and Charlottesville, so it's just too far

  3. BSMC & JTCC Spring 2011 Applicants

    FirefightersWife replied to nm483's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thanks! That's what I was afraid of! lol I just took one of the practice exams I bought with the study guide. I did OK on the reading and verbal. I think if I had taken more time on the math, I would...

  4. BSMC & JTCC Spring 2011 Applicants

    FirefightersWife replied to nm483's topic in Virginia Nursing

    nm483 - have you taken the TEAS for Bon Secours? I'm taking it next Saturday and I'm starting to get nervous! The biggest source of stress for me will be math and science. Neither have ever been my...

  5. BSMC & JTCC Spring 2011 Applicants

    FirefightersWife replied to nm483's topic in Virginia Nursing

    When I went in to meet with them to register, the woman I met with was new. I felt like she didn't know what she was talking about. She kept asking other counselors questions. What should have taken...

  6. BSMC & JTCC Spring 2011 Applicants

    FirefightersWife replied to nm483's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I am applying to Bon Secours. Taking the TEAS for them on the 21st. I thought about applying to John Tyler, but after getting the run around with their admissions/counseling department, I decided...

  7. Bon Secour Fall 2010

    FirefightersWife replied to portace's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thanks! Bon Secours does have an info session coming up on July 23rd at 9AM. But it is in Richmond, and I gather from your posts you are in the Hampton area. I think there is one in August too, but I...

  8. Bon Secour Fall 2010

    FirefightersWife replied to portace's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I think I remember seeing on their website that it could take less than 4 years, probably depending on if you have a prior degree, or have already been taking pre-reqs somewhere else. They have...

  9. RN program at MCI in Richmond

    FirefightersWife replied to tiffdeandre's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Those of you who are taking chemistry, are you taking it because you've never had it, or is it a requirement regardless? I took chem in high school, 13 years ago! So, I'm not sure if I would have to...

  10. What did you do while waiting to get in to NS?

    FirefightersWife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What classes have some of you all taken in between finishing your pre-reqs and actually starting nursing school? I didn't get accepted into my school for the fall, and while I'm waiting to find out...

  11. Kaplan Nurse Admissions Test

    FirefightersWife replied to FirefightersWife's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Just an FYI for any of you who may need to take this test...don't bother buying the study guide they have. I took the test this morning, and there was not a single math problem like any that were in...

  12. Kaplan Nurse Admissions Test

    FirefightersWife posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    Have any of you taken this test? JSRCC just switched to it from the NET, and I was just curious what it was

  13. Richmond Nursing Schools

    FirefightersWife replied to cfleharty's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'm in the same boat. My husband keeps telling me that I will have to work at least part time while I'm in school. I've been taking all of the pre-requisites at J. Sarge for the last year. I finished...

  14. Applying to Nursing Schools

    FirefightersWife replied to hunteres26's topic in Virginia Nursing

    You could apply to J. Sarge. I think all of the courses you are taking at John Tyler would transfer since they are both part of the VCCS. I'm currently at J. Sarge, and possigly looking at applying to...

  15. Does anyone work / know someone at Patient First?

    FirefightersWife replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Do they only hire RNs, or will they hire LPNs too? Their website only says nurse, but doesn't say if there is a

  17. anyone hoping to start at Bonsecours in Dec/jan 2010?

    Bon Secours is changing their program, and it is my understanding that their next session will not start until fall

  18. J Sargeant Reynolds nursing program

    FirefightersWife replied to heaverboo's topic in Virginia Nursing

    What about joining a study group? That way maybe you can each take 5-10 pages, or something along those lines, and focus on that, then get together and quiz each other on your

  19. Bryant and Stratton

    FirefightersWife replied to gonnabanurse's topic in Virginia Nursing

    There is nothing on their website with their tuition rates. I've learned that usually means they are way too

  20. Student Dilemma

    FirefightersWife replied to SashaBreal's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I think I would at least start trying to get some of the pre-nursing classes out of the way at a local community college. It will be cheaper that way, and they are more likely to transfer. You may...

    FirefightersWife replied to sissy4dogs's topic in Virginia Nursing
