Hi, I'm new to the website. I am currently finishing my pre-requisites for the nursing program at Northern Virginia Community College, and I will be taking the teas exam in about a month. My school requires that you pass with at least a 78% in each ...

Hi, I'm new to the website and I posted this in another section but I think I was in the wrong place, hopefully this is the right area for this kind of post. I am currently finishing my pre-requisites for the nursing program at Northern Virginia Co...

Yes, we have a guaranteed spot in GMU's nursing program as long as we adhere to the GPA guidelines and successfully pass the nclex following graduation from NVCC. The transfer agreement between Mason and NVCC requires that Mason accept all NVCC stude...

I'm a current momentum student and just finishing up my second semester. One thing that's exclusive to our program is the guaranteed admission to GMU's school of nursing. While traditional students can certainly apply to Mason's RN to BSN program, th...

Just wondering if there are any other NVCC momentum freshmen out there?

I was just accepted into the momentum program at nvcc. I took both the computer competency test (when I was planning to apply for the traditional program) and the teas test at nova. The computer competency was simple (an example of a question would b...

Yesterday I received my acceptance letter into the Momentum 2+1 Program! First and foremost, YAY! Getting into NVCC's nursing program has been my goal for quite some time, so I'm feeling a great deal of relief in knowing that my focus has changed fr...

Actually, that is how they're doing it. All classes are offered in a special section to only momentum students. I will have to see how things go and hope for the best when it comes to the the NUR classes. Regardless of the schedule, I'm relieved to a...

That would explain it :)

Thanks for your responses! First off, I want to take my co req's now. Because I am not permitted to do so, I was told by the nursing department that I would have to take filler classes to reach my 12 credits to receive my financial aid. I had no idea...

Seriously, no one?

I agree. I would feel SO much more comfortable taking the co-req's now (with two kids under 5 this would be the absolute best way to succeed later in the NUR classes). What's also strange to me is that when I called and told the department that I nee...

I called the school and apparently there is no way around this. I was told that the term "prescriptive" is often overlooked by applicants and that this is part of the deal when it comes to momentum. Each class is given at the MEC at various times thr...

Thanks to both of you! Those answers were really helpful. My plan was to take ALL the co-req non-nursing classes before my nursing classes start but I found out yesterday in my acceptance letter that momentum 2+1 students must take each class in the ...

Hi, I haven't applied to any of the programs yet, however, I was told that after this application cycle they will be looking at your overall GPA, not just the 4 grades received in the pre req's. I don't think that this change would have occurred if ...

Well, I found out yesterday that nova extended the momentum program deadline to July 20th, so I might apply for that program. If not, I'll definitely apply for the accelerated. I know that they originally pushed the deadline from May 27th to June 26 ...

Just to update everyone again, I passed the Teas :)

Good luck oceanwaves :) Let me know if I can help. Flames- You mentioned an orientation exam; can you tell me more? I know that there is an orientation for students who are accepted into the program, however, I have not heard of an exam being given ...

Hi Everyone, After I posted here I- 1. Purchased the teas study manual from the medical campus 2. Attended the "teas study group" offered the medical campus 3. Studied the manual ...

Thanks everyone! I decided to wait and take the exam in late April so I could have some extra study time. This way if I don't make the 78% on all sections, I can take it again with enough time to apply for the program. I am really hoping to pass it t...

Karen, Are you applying for the program at NVCC? I'm getting ready to take the teas there, and the requirements are the same as you described above. I'm also really worried about the science section. We have a study group for the teas test if you are...

Hi, I'm conflicted about what program I should apply for in May. I was planning on applying for the online accelerated program, but I decided to instead apply for the traditional program. Today I was looking through the brochures and checklists for ...

If you go to the brochure for the momentum 2+1 program it states that "It is mostly designed for recent high school graduates or students with no prior college credit, but students with previous college credits may also apply." Also, on the momentum ...

I started a study group for the teas; if you're interested, post here. Talia

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all of the advice, and plan on using it!
