IMO, you'd be better off going the community college route. If you're in Arlington, that'd be NVCC. Excellent NCLX pass rate. Plus, you'd save a ton of $$$, and job prospects after graduation are MUCH better.

Best of luck to both of you! I just finished up at NVCC - pinning was Tuesday. Don't stress too much over the TEAS. Seriously, they really are a lot like the placement exams. Your GPA shows that you are capable of doing well.
Hey, guys! I'm Kelly and I've been stressing about getting accepted since January when I submitted my application. What a huge weight off my shoulders to get that acceptance letter! I've been taking classes at NVCC since 2010. In that time, I've ma...

A 2014 forum sounds great! If someone sets it up, please let the rest of us know. Another thought - I remember seeing where a new class of nursing students started a facebook page. Anyone interested in doing that? This could be fun! And, it mi...
Hi, laski! Another over-40 newbie here! I just found out *yesterday* that I was accepted in this fall's nursing class. It's my local community college in Northern Virginia, and they actually have an excellent rep with the hospitals in the area. Let...

Marmite - I submitted my application several months ago as well, and have not received this latest email either. If you do call, please let us know what you find out! Is it just me, or does it seem these last few weeks are the slowest?!? Best of l...

I'm noticing so many inconsistencies with the confirmations of them receiving the applications. I got a letter in the mail, but did not get an email. It seems that some folks got both, and others got neither. Just the discrepancies are making me n...

TrulyBlessed1 - Did you get your packet in yet? Keep us posted! ncy28 - We're definitely in the same boat. Sooooo nervous! I'm also expecting to see traffic on this thread buid up as time goes by. Either that, or a new one started. It's nice k...

I think that's what makes the wait so difficult. There's no way of knowing what your GPA/TEAS scores mean unless we have everyone else's to compare them to. No way at all of knowing if they're tops, mediocre, or bottom-of-the-barrel. I'm thinking ...

Still nervous. I wish I could just put it out of my head for a while. I wonder if there's any way to find out if there's an average GPA or test score for applicants? Not what is required by the program, but the average of these numbers for the folk...
