From what I've read and heard, New Jersey is just as bad if not worse than Pennsylvania. I start nursing school in the fall 2010 and this makes me wonder if I made the right decision. Everyone says it will improve but I've not seen anything to indicate that.

There are 32 seats in both the day and night program for Chester County residents. I believe they have notified some people. There's another thread DCCC 2010 Nursing Program where a member stated she was #2 on the waiting list for Chester County night/weekends and was notified that she was accepted.

Hi Jasonber26, DCCC has a pretty good nursing program but it's very competitive to get into. I would suggest that you make an appointment with one of the career counselors at DCCC to discuss your options. Usually, you would enroll in either an ADN or BSN nursing program (You can sit for the NCLEX exam with either degree). If you enroll in a ADN nursing program you can then look into a RN to BSN program in 4 year university. Some 4 year universities do not accept students as a transfer student into their nursing program. For example, West Chester University just announced it will no longer accept transfer students into their 4 year BSN program. They only accept students for their RN to BSN program. The prereqs are different for each. For example, Biology and Chemistry courses are not required for a ADN but are required for a BSN. Again, prereqs for a BSN vary per institution and you need to do research into the institutions you are interested in attending. I was accepted for the 2010 nursing program at DCCC. My plan is to get my ADN degree and become an RN. Then, either attending West Chester's or Temple's RN to BSN program.

I've received my acceptance letter for the 2010 Nursing program at DCCC today, November 27th. This was for the day program at Marple. Seems they are starting to send out the acceptance letters.

Unfortunately, your chances in getting in now are pretty much nil. However, if your're planning in applying in 2011, I would still send in the HS transcript. It can't hurt and you'll be prepared for next year.

Has anybody received an acceptance letter in the mail from DCCC yet?

Still waiting but based on other threads posted for last year's applicants (2008) it should be at the end of this week or early next week for Delaware County applicants. Don't think about it - you just go crazy.
