Yes, it's #9 on the pre-admission check list for the traditional program, not sure about Momentum. http://www.nvcc.edu/campuses-and-centers/medical/academic-divisions/info-session/nursing.html Follow this link and then click on the pre-admission tes...

NVCC has a spanish for healthcare workers class, it's an online class. I think they have it in class as well. I took it, it was a bit tough but very useful. It would probably be easier for you since you have taken spanish before. I hadn't so that's p...

I'm not in the program but know some who are in both programs. The programs are challenging but you don't have to be an "A" student to do well. All depends on your study habits and determination to do well. The momentum program is an accelerated prog...

Hi All! I'm planning on apply next fall, and had a question about the pre-reqs. I can't get to an information session, with my class schedule. I'm starting them this fall and the way I have to take them I won't be done until the summer. But in the b...

For those that have taken BIO 205.....I'm a bit confused about the pre-reqs. The counselors at my campus have given me different answers. The catalog states that one needs a year of biology and chemistry. Would... BIO 141 and 142 and CHM 111 and 112 ...

For NVCC's nursing program you take NAS 161/162. I'm apply to different ABSN programs and they won't all take the NAS 161/162.

The accelerated program starts in May and the traditional in August. Chem 101 is a pre-req if you didn't take it in high school. Here is the site with the pre-req form and the information.

I will, but probably not any time soon. Which program are you applying to?

Check the virginia board there are a couple of ppl that just got in as well.

Which chemistry did you take? I signed up for 121 this fall but don't know if I should take the 111.

I haven't applied but I'm working on pre-reqs at NVCC as well. In the brochure it says they have to be completed before starting the program. I haven't spoke to anyone at MU, did they tell you differently?

Where you expecting it to be denied? Seems like if you had your ducks in a row all they could do is approve it. Good luck.

I think since you'll have clinicals that having a car would be a better option. Metro and Metro buses aren't always on time. I'm not sure where the clinical sites are for MU, but Northern VA isn't as easily accessible with public transportation as DC...

Housing is pricey in Northern Va, esp. if you're renting. Traffic is horrible. Public transportation is pretty good. Anything specific you want to know?

Maybe try various doctors office or Kaiser Permanente, there are a bunch of offices near Potomac Hospital and Kaiser is right up the street from there as well. The Potomac News is the local paper here, as well as Washington Post. Check those for open...

The accelerated program at Mason is working towards a BSN. I'm not sure the amount of time that can pass, most schools it's 5-10 years. You should sign up for an information session at GMU and I'm sure you'll find out all you need to know and get yo...

1. I'm pretty sure NOVA/NVCC has higher NCLEX pass rate than GMU. I'm sure someone can link the VABON site or it's on the top of this forum. What is your ultimate goal? Do you want to just be an RN? or do you think down the line you would want to be ...

NVCC or NOVA has a great nursing program, the NCLEX pass rates are the best in the area. The campus is nice and everybody there is really focused on their studies. As for the job market I have no idea...some of the hospitals, depending on the floor h...

Wow the dept. changed thier minds again. Not a shocker, they seem to do it every other month or so. You sure seem to know when they make changes as soon as they happen. You must live up there! Must be nice.

This program is for students who have no prior college credit and are attending college for the first time. -From program brochure (link)

Last year they let everyone in, that applied and had the appropriate HESI score. They changed it for this year.

1. The momentum program is for kids straight out of high school or for those who have no college credit. So since you already have taken classes at NVCC then you're not eligible. 2. The check list is to be turned in once you complete everything on i...

To add on to what Rhone said....pre-reqs take at least a year or more, depending on the program. So with NVCC it's a year of pre-reqs and then a year of mainly nursing classes with a few support classes. Those can be taken prior to entering the nursi...

NVCC (Northern Virginia Community College) has an accelerated ADN program. Starts in May of each year, there is an online and in-person option. Here is the link to the programs they offer. You can go the BSN route and apply for scholarships from the...

I'm not in the program, but took NAS 161 with Momentum students. Some liked it but most hated the fact that they couldn't pick their schedule. If you had to work, or know that the professor wasn't all that great, or the time just didn't work. You jus...
