Hi!! I'm going to start the RN program as well. Are you attending?

Okay I don't know how to/if I can PM haha so I'll respond to you in e-mail!

We're all on point with everything haha

http://www.showmecpr.com/index.php This is the site I'm going through. I have a certification though so I'm just getting recertified.

I went today to get fitted. It's really simple because you have to get a certain top and bottom so all you really need to do is try it on and pay. I'm still unsure if we can have white sneakers or not. The shoes at the place were expensive so if I need to buy shoes, I'd rather sneakers haha. I signed up for a CPR course in July. It's in Wayne which isn't so close but it was cheap and short.

Ok thanks. I think I'll go tomorrow just incase then! Yes, I met with them. The lady I met with was SO SO helpful and nice. They break down for you options to help you pay for tuition (loans, grants if FAFSA offers them). It's all an estimate but very helpful.

Ok great. I was trying to rush to get everything together but I'll just try to get them in by the end of the week (even though it will be after June 15th). We all need to really enjoy the summer because we will have no lives when school starts

Hi Guys! I live in River Edge. I got my engraved with my initals (middle too). The medical forms say they are due on the 15th so I think I'm going to drive them over tomorrow because it will be too late to send everything. I also need to order my scrubs so maybe I'll do that tomorrow as well..busy busy!!

I purchased mine at a nursing store on Route 4 East. (I forget the name of the store but I can look it up on the receipt) I purchased a Littmann.

Congrats!! I'm sure you feel great now that the waiting is over. I'm very anxious to find out my schedule for next year :) I need to order my uniform as well and begin the search for all white sneakers haha

I heard quicker than I was told so don't worry!!! Good luck :)

I heard around 3 weeks later.

Wow..that article was very interesting. Thanks, DaddyO. I didn't know schools allowed you to take classes towards your BSN while still going for your two year degree. Did you or any of your nursing friends do that? If so, was it manageable. Thanks for your insight!

jschroder - i'm confused. holy name accepted all my pre-reqs. i only have to take nursing classes and then i'll be done. also, you can still get your bsn if you go to holy name. both bcc and holy name offer your rn and then if you do two more yrs, you get your bsn. congrats on getting into both!

hi everyone! i was admitted as well but for once in my life, have a good problem.. i was also admitted to holy name hospital school of nursing and am unsure what school has a better reputation/can offer me a better education. i never imagined i'd get into bcc's program so i really never through through which school i'd go to if i was admitted to both. i was wondering if any of you could offer me some insight about either bcc or holy name that will help me determine which one to go to. thank you and congrats to everyone!

I'm not sure..we could always ask them during registration week. If it's only one class, I most likley will take it.

I had my interview March 28th and heard back three weeks later. I'd suggest calling. Maybe they haven't re-evaluated your application yet because they are looking at this years applicants. A friendly reminder should do the trick! Haha. A friend of mine was waitlisted. She took it the same time as me though and was notified about a week than I was.

Thank you! :) I don't think it would hurt to call. They will ask you when you took the test and when your interview was. I've heard it's a very good sign, if you had an interview. When did you take your test? I took mine in March.

I can see myself delaying in getting the scrubs so I'm going to try to set a date to get everything done haha Are you going to get your associates as well? The financial advisor gave me an estimate without that class but I think I want to take that class during the first year since the second year will be harder..

To the people that attend or attended Holy name: Did you take the class you need in order to get your associates? If so, what semester? Was it difficult to take with your other nursing classes?

Thanks awesome!! Yes, I sent in my deposit.

Hi everyone! Jschroder, have you heard anything yet? Tmhart, I went to see the lady in the financial aid department. She was super helpful. I'm anxious to get a letter or what books we need to buy to see what we'll be doing during our first year :)

Did I say it was down to 60? If I did, I might of got it confused with Holy Name School of Nursing because I heard they accept 60 and BCC accepts 90. I found it yesterday so now I won't be worried looking Tuesday haha.

I live about 10-15 minutes away. I got the packet today but haven't really looked at the detail of the uniforms yet. How do we pay for the first year yet if we haven't made our schedules? haha

Thank you:) I'm going to call Monday to make an appointment with financial aid. Did they mention anything to you about applying for scholarships?
