  2. Virginia College RN program

    for anyone considering VC- here's the experience and information I have to share. 1. VC cost more but has SUBSTANTIALLY more hands on Clinical hours than any other Assoc degree program. VC Grads have 750 clinical hours.. CLINICAL hours.. community ...
  3. Virginia College Nursing School

  4. fourty and applying to nursing school

    Im 36. You may want to get an NCLEX/ RN book that is an easy read and start studying early. The stuff get's thrown at you fairly quickly. You can learn right then or prelearn. That is what I have been doing, just reading and studying certain things ...
  5. Virginia College RN program

    I'm extremely happy with my decision. The nursing instructors are very very helpful. If someone took just the VC courses, they would have a lot of cramming to do with Microbiology, AP1, Nutrition for nursing, and Eng 102 in the same quarter. I'm ver...
  6. Virginia College New RN program - anyone know anything about it?

  7. Virginia College New RN program - anyone know anything about it?

    An Update on my 2010 post... THANK GOODNESS I didn't listen to the posters HERE! Not trying to insult but I did do the VC college route because I needed a night/ weekend program that I could transition to a 4 year program and YES, you can do VC and...
  8. Virginia College RN program

    see if you can get a copy of their quarter by quarter schedule and perhaps you can cross off enough classes to get that quarter to 4 credits.. and then you request to have that "one" course moved either to the NEXT quarter OR moved to the next time i...

  10. Virginia College RN program

    I am going to VC. I called around to the BSN mobility programs and I found that if I mentioned VC they instantly said NO.. BUT if I said "licensed in the state of Alabama/ NCLEX passed" + pre-reqs at Jeff state.. then it was a YES. I think they hea...

  13. New nurse need help!!!!

    Curious, how long from when you applied till you were offered or contacted with a serious interview? How long was this from Graduation. I'm really glad you got an opportunity. Foot in the door... now its time to hit the grind and start impressing p...

  15. New nurse need help!!!!

  17. Weirdest nursing thing you've done in "real life"?

    hilarious thread..
  18. Virginia College

    well once you get really into the concept that this is where you are going.. and you've pretty much sold them that you are going there.. ONCE I was enrolled, I discussed with the Head of the department and admissions mngr that I wanted to take the q...

    Did you take any classes at the community college?
  20. Virginia College

    So I enrolled.. I don't start until later in June so I can back down if need be. I came pretty prepared so when I came in I had all my documents in order.. you HAVE to come in twice.. my second visit was just to review my stuff cause I brought my ta...
  21. ??? about Beville State Program

    bevill state was deemed "deficient" by the alabama state board of nursing. why is that important.. well that board says if you can become a nurse and if the program you are attending keeps falling in nclex pass scores, they aren't going to be in...

    Calhoun seems to have been getting better n better each year with their NCLEX pass rates per the AL state nursing board. 79% just 3 years ago.. 92% a year ago.. consistent improvement each year. Based upon that, I would enroll in Calhoun if it wer...
  23. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    bevill state is on "deficient status" with the alabama state board of nursing.. that's the board that determines what is an acceptable program of nursing for you to take if you expect to become an rn in alabama. the test scores for this school have...
  24. Virginia College

    Well at least I know what the regular rate is for the classes.. the lady I spoke to said the program director will cut the cost if all need are the nursing classes.. as long as the classes I took are equivilant... and she said the typical Jeff state ...
  25. Virginia College

    i'm still thinking about doing the virginia college thing.. I've taken ALL the classes listed as pre reqs on the Jacksonville state RN-BSN mobility program.. I took them at Jeff state.. all are transferable.. I was hoping I could get into Jeff state ...
