I also STRONGLY recommend checking NCLEX pass rates. I distinctly remember one of those schools listed as being pretty bad. Don't recall the stats for the other. I'm not really much help recommending where to take additional classes, as I took NAS 16...

No problem! As Martha said, NVCC doesn't care which sequence you take. Your likelihood of being accepted is the same. I wanted to refer you to another thread that I responded in, as I think it clears up the pros and cons of each decision. https:/...

Hi NOVA EMT, I think you mistook everyone’s silence for rudeness, but the reality is, they don’t share this information with the students, nor are they obligated to. All we can do is notice when someone stops coming to class, or when a student readi...

I think it's great that she ponders these types of things without being prodded to do so, if indeed that is the case. For what it's worth, my nursing classes start next Monday, and guess what question is on the orientation packet that is due this Wed...

Hi Tina! I'm not sure if you've already heard from Carolyn, but I'm definitely interested in carpooling! I can't tell you how thrilled I am that there are so many people out this way! I got to meet Carolyn and Tanya in person, and they are super-nice...

Hi Dave! You're right... I think Carolyn found 5 people (including myself) in our class that live in Loudoun. You make 6. A carpool is definitely the way to go. I guess when it gets closer, we can figure out the details, and who's interested in doing...

Yay! Then I guess I'll sign up now! I'm thrilled it's less expensive and shorter than MEC's! I'm 5'9, so I usually need a 33.5 inch inseam. Maybe they have more sizes if I actually go in to the bookstore. We'll see!

Oh no! I'm so sorry! My friend got bad news as well... Hopefully, they've told you what you can do for next year to make yourself more competitive, and you can start chipping away at your corequisites. Don't give up on your dream! This little bump in...

150 applicants doesn't sound right to me... I can tell you, based on the sheer number of people that were in the MEC testing center on the last day, that that number is highly unlikely. The line to take the TEAS was out the door and around the corner...

It feels that way! Luckily, the CPR classes are pretty frequent, so it should be easy to find one that works with your schedule. This background check business/drug test I'm wondering about... Sounds like it may take awhile to get the results back. T...

Where do you live? That could be part of it. Are you out of state?

Exactly! Not to mention saving an hour and a half of our time! A lot closer, too! It's definitely AHA, but I'll verify with Mrs. Vito just to be sure. Thanks, thirdcareer!

It appears to have been sent to everyone that received a letter so far... At least from what I can tell from this website and from some people in my current classes. One of my friends didn't receive the email and hasn't gotten her letter yet. I HO...

I've gotta say, Inova's BLS for Healthcare Providers is $22 cheaper, and only 5 hours vs. 6.5 at NVCC. And for me, Loudoun Hospital is right next to me. I think I may take it though the hospital. It's not missing anything, is it??

My friend hasn't heard anything yet either... Don't give up hope! According to an email I got today from MEC, acceptance letters were mailed out Friday. They said if you haven't gotten yours yet, you will in the next day or two. Hopefully, you'll...

Perfect! Thanks so much!! I guess I'll sign up ASAP! =)

I think I'm going to wait for the organization link to become active in Blackboard, because it supposedly will answer our questions about what needs to be done. Hopefully, they'll have recommended places for the CPR class. If anyone finds a good pl...

I can't decide if I'm going to work or not. The fact that I won't have any concrete class times until the last minute kind of ruins any planning ahead. I guess I'll have to wait and see... I did look at the possible class times already (which some...

Awww! I know how hard the wait is. I just got my acceptance letter today. Whatever you do, don't start doubting yourself! Focus on doing well in your class to keep yourself busy. And try not to compare yourself to the other posters on AllNurses... Ap...

Hey guys! I'm in!!!! The ONE day I didn't jump the mailman for the mail. It figures! :) I also didn't get anything about a background check either... I guess I'll call the campus on Monday and see what they recommend. Perhaps they can just sen...

Mine says it too, but it also has my general studies active, as well as my prior business degree active. I'm wondering if it's only there because I declared it myself before I knew we were supposed to just do "general studies". Hmmm.

Wow! I'm shocked that's how they do things. That makes it really hard to plan anything! I just called MEC and they said the letters are being "prepared" and have NOT been sent out yet. Looks like the earliest we will hear is Monday, assuming they sen...

Oh! That wasn't directed at you! :) I appreciate the response! I've heard NOTHING so I was just curious if anyone else had... For my own sake, I hope it's sooner. I'm trying to figure out my child care situation, but I really can't even look fo...
