hi i am just posting to give an update of my status with the program. I am the original poster. I am now into my final semester:yeah:we just finished finals. So far so good. Theresa is honestly the best teacher in the evening program. I don't know about the day program. I hear from a lot of people that were in the day program then switched actually prefer the evening program because of the slower pace. The first semester is pretty basic it's the second one that really killed people. At least ten people didnt pass. The second semester is when you really have to buckle down. My clinical for that semester too was brutal A LoT of paper work. I had a tough teacher but I am very thankful because he taught my group a lot and challenged us.If you pass the second semester you should have no problem with passing the third. I was really luckly to have a great clinical instructor ( he name is Mr. *) and taught two semesters of clinical work in one. He even helped me get a cna job at the same hospital I did my clinicals , which I really recommend doing because it can increase your chances of getting a job at a hospital ,if they like you, you get used to being around patients and you can learn a lot. There are some disadvantages like sometimes they are not very organized and the lab part is not great but it also depends on your teachers too. Also they say not to work more than 15 hrs or whatever. My response to this is that it depends. Practically everyone worked in my class some part-time some full time. I didn't really work for the first year. I started working at BMC in my third semester 32 hrs plus I am a single mother so my schedule is very crazy but I haven't gotten anything less than a B in my courses. I really depends on you but if you are having trouble with school because of work than I would recommend cutting your hours. I hoped this helped.I am just curious into were I should be applying for jobs after I get licensed. If anyone can give their two cents Id appreciate it. Take care thanks!

GUESS WHAT? I GOT MY LETTER I WAS ACCEPTED:anpom:

hey i called today and they said that the letters were mailed on friday have any of you gotten anything yet? I haven't

hey leigh82 did they say what part of the teas they look at more:confused:

thank u but i was asking if any one might know my chances of getting in

HI! i was wondering if someone could help me. I've applied for the nursing program at rcc for Jan 2011 and i'm doubtful if I have a chance of getting in. I have a gpa of 3.01 but my gpa for the pre-requisites is much higher. i got an overall score of 84.1% (89th percentile rank) on the teas with 82.5% in reading, 84.4% in math, 83.3% in science, and 85.5% in English. The program average was 74% with 86.9% (mean) in reading, 68.1% in math, 64.4% in science, and 75.4% in English. I'm just really worried because I didn't score higher than the program average on the reading. Does any one know if that'll hurt me a lot? What part of the teas do they look at the most? Plus I got a letter in the mail from them saying my application is incomplete because I didn't hand in the immunization form. It also said that I need to hand it in in order for them to accept me into the college. It ended with "we look forward to seeing you next semester". Does this mean I've been accepted but they're just waiting for me to hand the form in?
