Hi, I am applying to Rockland Community College for Spring 2012. Is there anyone else applying here? Also, has anyone gone to this school recently? How was the experience? Thanks.
Nana Tayiba, there are a lot of people that go to RCC that commute from far away. While I haven't encountered anyone coming from Poughkeepsie, I've met several people coming from as far as Queens and I believe that's even farther away.
Also, I wanted to ask a question to those that are already in the Nursing program at RCC. What kind of scores did you get for the NLN PAX? I had applied for the Fall 2013 program and was rejected. The letter I got said that my composite score wasn't high enough. I got a 128. I applied again for Spring 2014 and I'm waiting for my letter now. I took the test again in April and scored a 142 composite score. I know it's a much better score, but I'm starting to get into a panic that the same thing is going to happen again LOL
I doubled up every semester except 1 and was working full-time. It's a heavy load but it can be done. Clinicals are done at Nyack Hospital and Good Sam, Rockland Psych, Summit Park and you will have to attend a few one day seminars and such. The professors are great and helpful.
I was wondering what you meant by doubling up in a semester. Were you able to take two semesters worth of clinicals in one semester?

Hi Ally! I am currently taking nur 111 and plan on taking nur 113 in the fall, then I plan to double up in the spring....although, given how I'm balancing everything this semester I'm not sure how that will work! I work FT and have a family to take care of and it's not easy, but I'm doing it! Good luck!
