I can tell you what is required for GBCC as I go there now, and tried to get into the nursing program but didn't make it this year. All classes need a C (73.33) to pass A+P 1/2 -better to take before you apply Intro to Psych Human Growth and Development Topics in Applied Math (your finite math could count) English 1 College Success Class Micro A second English elective Plus a fine art, language credit Also, consider taking the NLN'S twice. You need to get in the 96th percentile to even be considered for the program. It is much easier to complete the program if you have all the core classes completed already. NHTI is about the same, but I think they have a different math requirement and they might require an ethics class. Hopefully that helped.

I honestly have no idea. I had some good insight from someone who used to work there and actually do all the apps and stuff. My scores weren't stellar, but she said that I had a very good chance of getting in. I didn't, and neither did anyone else I know. There was no rhyme or reason to it this year.

well rejected from MCC. now its just a wait for NHTI, and trying to figure out my options.

Well now its a wait for MCC and NHTI. not even a waitlist seat for GBCC

Congrats to those have heard. I do know that the lady who used to lead up the admissions process at gbcc left this past fall. So there was new people doing the process. which could mean different "standards" or processes. I haven't heard from any school yet. I don't live to far from GBCC, so maybe I will get mine soon!!

bump mcc and nhti should hopefully be sending their stuff out hopefully within the next two weeks. but i was told that don't even bother calling gbcc until the first of april at least. i know at gbcc the nln scores are the most important thing they look at. then they look at your composite score. the a+p points are bonus points. but there was only like 4 people in the program for 09 that didn't have them (they had really high nln scores) so they really look for you to have them done. and then the references are considered bonus points, but they are given cuz you need them. the a & p points are separate. you are rated on three things for the nursing specific admission. nln scores are rated by themselves and are averaged together, so the higher you achieve for a score on each section, above the 50 minimum score, the better your chances of getting into the program. this is actually 80% of the equation, pretty high...if they haven't changed it since i left. the a & p points are bonus points really. if you successfully (c or better) completed both a & p 1 and 2, by the deadline...you get 20 bonus points. if not, you don't. in past years, this wasn't really a deal breaker or not, but last year all of the admitted 56 students to nursing had the points and had really high nln scores. so, do really well on the nln and having the points is really important to admission. (this is from someone who use to do all the applications) and dcoffill, i would apply for part time. so if you do get in, you can only work like 1 saturday or something a month and still have plently of time for school. and then on break you could pick up more hours.

No I haven't yet, just crossing my fingers. GBCC's deadline isn't unitl the 28th, so its a long waiting game.

Congrats Leisabc on getting in.I was under the impression that we wouldn't hear back until late March. I have had my stuff in since the begining of January so maybe I will hear back sooner! Congrats again!

I took my NLN's on the 9th and I only just got them the 30th. GBCC is my first choice, MCC is 2nd and then Concord. I live closer to GBCC then to any other school and then MCC based on their clinical sites. I'm taking an LNA class right now, even though you get it your first semester. I wanted the experience. I have thought about the phlebotomy class though.

I called MCC last week to double check if they had everything. She said I should be recieving something in the mail to say my app was complete, even though she told me on the phone that it was.It might be a standard practice they do to send something out after the deadline saying that they have recieved everything or is missing peices. Don't know if that helps or not.

So who is applying for nursing school this year? And where are you applying? I am applying to Concord Tech, Manchester Community(if they ever stop fighting with me) and Great Bay. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!:)

ok. so after reading many posts, i think i might have mis-understood what a bsn actually is. though i am still confused. i want to eventually get a bachlor's in nursing. to maybe to speciality nursing (peds, l&d ?) or maybe teach. how will i get to those goals?

I have posted on here before, but I am still looking for some answers. I am currently a student, and have applied to GBCC, NHCTC-Manchester, and NHCTC-Concord for nursing programs next year. I have taken all of my pre-reqs expect for the new Topics in Math course, Intro to Pysch, and Mirco and will be re-taking the nln in Jan. I pre-planning of the possibility of me not getting into any of the nursing programs I have been thinking about my other options. I know that it is possible to get my LNA at the Red Cross etc. And then move onto a LPN program such as the one in Manch. What are the possibilities for me to get from LPN to RN? What are the programs? And if I move on that road, would it still be possible for me to get my BNS? I don't have a previous degree of any kind but would like to eventually get there. Does anyone know how to do?

So, after reading thread after thread I decided to join. I currently am a student at GBCC for my medical coding cert. and in taking these classes realized I loved the medical field. Everyone has always told me I would be a good nurse and always said no, but now I am thinking about it. I would like to apply to the nursing program there but like I said I don't know if its for me. I have a passion for kids but would love to explore other options as well. In thinking that I would like to do nursing and do well at it, I have started to take some of the pre-reqs for the program. My hope is to get in for the '10 program. So my plan is to take A+P 1 this summer, take chem and finish my med coding stuff in the fall, take a+p 2, microbio, alg and intro to psych in the spring of '10 but I don't know if that will work. As from reading all the posts, they say to take both a+p's before the nursing exam so you have the points on the exam which I will probably take twice once this summer and then again in the winter. I also read that the program is really hard to get into, and since I am not a good test taker I just don't know if I can do this. So, all in all. I guess I just need some advice, pushes in the right direction or any direction or maybe someone who has gone through this process and has a job that can answer a few questions. Thanks, steph
