hello heidy, once again I apologize for taking so long to respond your question. I am in the day program. I don't know how difficult would be to work full-time but I am assuming the evening program has a different approach since is designed for people like you that works full time and i believe that is why it takes 3yrs. i believe you would be able to make it, like you said, time management and prioritization are essential. something that we are never told when we apply for the program is how much money we would need to spend once we sre accepted and many people find this somehow unfair (i did too) bc some people might not have the money available right away etc. When i got accepted i had to spend about $900 between books, uniforms, cpr class and transportation. i include trasportation because you have to go to the doctor, health department so many times that it becomes expensive if you dont have an unlimited metro card or car. just wanted to give you an insight in the financial part. best wishes!!!

Hey nycgirl305, Sorry for not replying much sooner but nursing school is all I do and eat and there is no free time. anyway ypu will understand it soon. first, if you have time to take a pathophysiology, TAKE IT!!!!!!!! Do not hesitate because it will make your life much easier. I wish someone had given me this advice. ok, for the Hesi, study a&p from the HESI book, I spent almost 3 weeks studying only for this part and the day of the exam I only found questions from the HESI guide ugh!! something that this guide does not cover is the senses and its parts( hearing;ear,vision;eye) and I got about 3 questions about this, so go over it. reading comprehension, i mean it ishard to study for this part because it is always different but read the guide gives good types in how to understand what the author is implying, if he/she is entertaining etc. I would say do reading comprehension quizzes online and you will be fine. fMath, use the textbook, calculate with confidence, it is really helpful, go over decimals, fractions, definetely ratio and proportion, percentage and make sure yoou know the conversion factors (grams, mL, oz etc). critical thinking is a tie braker so do it at the end since this category is the least important one, however, critical thinking is the most important skill during the program and your nursing career so practice it with online quizzes. i hope you find this info helpful, if you have more questions dont hesitate!!!! good luck and let me know how things go!!

Hello everyone,First of all I want to share with you guys that I have been accepted in the nursing program at bmcc and even though I am really greatful for the opportunity I was surprised that I actually got in.As many of you have read it is really hard to get in any nursing program and especially in BMCC but I believe since the school implemented the HESI exam things have changed incredibly. BMCC has 4 main prerequisites; math104, eng101, bio425 and psy100. Once you have taken this 4 class you are able to make an appointment with the nursing department counselor who would evaluate your transcript and decide if you are eligible to take the HESI exam. Make sure you get A's in this four classes and not lower than B's in the general requierements but if you dont get all A's in the main 4 courses do not panic you still have a chance. I had a 3.5 gpa in only the 4 classes(2 A' and 2 B's) and I was scared to death that I was not even going to get the chance to take the HESI I even applied to other school just in case. However, I went to Mr. Sierra and surprisingly he gave me the green light for the HESI. Since I knew I didnt have the highest gpa's like my friends had I decided to study the most I could for the exam. At BMCC the hesi only covers a&p, math and reading comprenhension, they also include critical thinking which is consoder a tie breaker so dont worry about it. But make sure you pass all 3 with 75 or higher DO NOT FAIL ANY SECTION if you pass them all yyor chances to get in the program are 95%. With that being stated I can only say, do not give up, do not let the gpa terrorize you like it did to me. I got 3.5 gpa and 85 in the hesi (overall) I did not fail any sectio.. Ii know the gpa is really important but iis not your golden ticket to get in. I had friends with 3.8, 3.9 and 4.0 who didnt get in because they either failed the exam or one section.I hope this give yu hope and made a little bit more clear how to proceed in getting to the program at BMCC.If you guys have any questions feel free to email me to [email protected] and I'll be glad to answer them. P.S this requirements are only at BMCC other schools might have different procedures and rules.
