Updated:   Published

Hi there!

Welcome to the Forum for Prospective Nursing students starting in Spring of 2020.

The application period (subject to change and directly from RCC website) opens from the First Business day in September- the First Business day in October to apply for Spring.

Also, Please let me know if creating a Facebook group would be more streamlined.

Feel free to share questions, comments, concerns!

Sama34,

Thank you so much for sharing the information about intake day...is the cost of $1200 for the entire program? or for just the first semester? I tried to figure out the costs by checking online at the bookstore but it wasn't making sense. I appreciate any clarity that you can provide. Thanks!

I’m not sure what happened. I talked to them yesterday and they were pretty certain on their timeline. I wonder if moving up intake day messed it up

I emailed S today, he said, “we are hoping to send the notifications out today, but it may be next week”

Congratulations to all of those who've received their acceptances! I'm finishing up my second semester. If I can be of any help, please let me know! This is the beginning of the roller coaster that is nursing school!

A few words of advice:

  • Definitely go get started on your titers and immunizations ASAP.
  • If you need MMR or Varicella, do not get it between getting your 2-step TB tests done. Get the TB done completely, then do your MMR and/or Varicella. It will be rejected from Complio if you don't, and you'll then need the Quantiferon Gold blood test (can be $$ and a speed bump when you are eager to register).
  • Buy your books from the Lippincott rep that visits during bootcamp (if he still attends!) You will get your discount right away rather than waiting for the mail-in rebate from the bookstore.

Again, congratulations, and let me know if you have any questions. I'd be happy to help. ?

What is boot camp?

Boot camp I understand is the time where the faculty meets with us, the new cohort, and lets us know what to expect from the program and we order books, uniforms, etc. I think intake day is different from bootcamp? But I may be mistaken, I am just as clueless as the rest of us newbies...Looking forward to next Monday just to find out more.
