A word to the wise, I am a DC resident and have been twice rejected from the nursing program due to my out-of-state resident status (I have a 4.0 and did very well on my TEAS, and I have been informed by the Dean that my rejection is because I am not a VA resident). I am now looking at programs in DC because that is where I live - UDC is MUCH cheaper than NVCC (NVCC is a little over $300 a credit hour, as compared to $130 at UDC). Also, look around at a number of programs - they all have different pre-requisites and not all schools will transfer credits from other schools (for example, NAS 101 at NVCC won't transfer to a lot of 4-year colleges because it does not contain enough of a physiology aspect . . . or something along those lines).

I had heard that they would be accepting 60 students for January, but I do not know whether that ended up being the case or not. A friend of mine got in last week, but she is the only one I have heard of. I too am wondering what to do next semester - I have taken all of the non-nursing classes. Best of luck to everyone who is trying to get in.

Hello All - I am wondering whether anyone has heard about acceptance for the January 2011 program at NVCC. I just found out that I did not get in - I have a 4.0, but am out of state. Have any out-of-state residents been admitted to NVCC for January? I heard that the Fall Traditional track program admitted only VA residents - is that true? I am wondering what I can do, short of becoming a VA resident. Any ideas? Any other one or two year programs out there that people recommend in the area that aren't as stringent on residency requirements?
