Hello Good Afternoon!
I just wanted to start this thread for anyone applying to QCC’s Fall 2022 Day or Evening Program. Applications open in less than two weeks!
Does anyone have any advice, or does anyone know any students who are currently in the program or graduated?
Is anyone also interested in their Dual Program that helps you complete your BSN at Hunter, York, or SPS?

what book did y’all use for Fundamentals? I wanna start reading ahead since I have free time.
How is the program going so far & what hospital do you recommend for clinicals?
happy holidays!
Hi Tae1990,
Congratulations on your acceptance to the nursing program!
There are 3 books for NU 101. You will be informed of where to purchase them. The text book is Taylor: Fundamentals of Nursing, 9th Edition, you also have to get a math book and a nursing pharmacology.
Some readings you can start of would be Nursing Process (ADPIE - Assessment, Diagnosis, Plan, Intervention, Evaluation), HIPPA, Infection Control (Standard Precaution and Transmission based precautions - contact, droplet, airborne). I also suggest to look up for head to toe physical assessment, watch video about it.
I recommend you to sign up for mentor, senior nursing students in 201 and 202 who give guidance/support to 101 and 102 students.
Wish you the best!

Tips for A&P is to read/review the chapter before class. The chapters can be very wordy, but it is helpful to know what you're learning ahead of time to formulate questions. Record lectures if you can and go over them after class. Recording them and reviewing them later sometimes never comes. Rewrite your notes as well! Repetition and the act of writing can help you remember. Look everything up when studying your notes. Please don't skip over and get the gist of it. Look things up and get an in-depth review. Also, take photos of diagrams in the lab and study them. Either print it out and label it, or if you have an iPad, remove the photo's background and label them that way. Or stay after in the lab and review the models. Also, flashcardsssss if you are a hands-on learner, try to incorporate them as well.
@MidwifeComingSoon Hi! Hopefully you are still notified on a past post but I had some questions regarding the QCC nursing program. Is there a way I could speak with you? Because I have just signed up, the website won't allow me to private message you.
Thank you!
