Hi, I was just wondering if anyone is in the BC3 (Butler County Community College) Nursing program or has recently graduated from there. I have heard good things and bad things, like you do for all schools. I would just really like to have some infor...

Not sure what book you are using to study from, but I used the Barrons book Nursing School Entrance Exams. I felt it really helped to prepare me for the test. Some parts of the tests in the practice book I did really well, other parts not as much. I'...

I took one class online and one class on campus each time so far. It has worked out pretty well that way. Much less expensive in childcare and I like doing the work at home. The classes I took at the school were the ones I felt would be harder like c...

It believe it can be done. Im a single mom of two boys 5 and 1. My soon to be ex-husband left us at the begging of the year and I have no family around. I rely on babysitters when I can and friends that can help me out when they have the chance. I ha...

aww thanks for checking! It has been ok so far since I'm just finishing my pre-reqs. I'm applying this fall to some Nursing schools, so Im keeping my fingers crossed. It is tough at times, especially since my family isn't around. Between raising the...

Hi, I have another question for BC3 current or past Nursing students. Im sending my application in next week. I know it is very competitive to get into the school. Is there anything I can do to help set me apart in the applications? Should I write a...

Thank you for your reply. That was very helpful. I had heard about Victorville Community College and that they had a two year waiting list. I was hoping to maybe get in somewhere the fall of 2010. Thanks again for your help! :wink2:

Kalley Thank you I had seen your earlier post. That was very helpful. I think it would be easier for me to do the BC3 program because I can do all my pre reqs. until next August and if I can get in there all I will have to take then is the Nursing cl...

Im taking the test on the 4th of April for Shadyside. Sounds like as long as I study those books and review everything I should hopefully be ok. If not I will try again in the spring. I have heard a lot about the UPMC program so far. Just wondering ...

Thank you everyone for your replies. I was asking about Butler County Community College. But thank you for everyone who has replied. I got the Barrons book to study for the Shadyside exam. Im very nervous about the math and science part. I went to S...

Im going to take the test next month. I'm also very nervous because I want to do well on it. How did the test go for you? Was it really hard? Is there any advice you can give me to study up on or what to look for. Thanks!!!
