?'s about NVCC

U.S.A. Virginia

Published

I am moving to NO VA next month and would like to apply to the nursing program at nvcc once I complete the pre-reqs. It says its a 2 year program but long does it usual take to complete?

Also, do you have to take math, bio and chem, or can you clep out on the entrance exam? Once you add in those three extra classes along with the other pre-req's, it seems like the program is neverending...lol TIA!

Thanks for the replies everyone. We are moved and all settled in. This week I will be going to get a VA License and after that I will go up to the college. Hopefully I can start on the pre-reqs in the summer!

I also plan on taking all the non-nursing classes before I apply to the nursing program. I need all the help I can get !!!

I think that is the wisest move on can make--completing as many if not all the "non-nursing" classes ahead of time.

Here are the two books that helped me on Fluids and electrolytes test: Reviews and Rationals Fluids, Electrolytes, & Acid-base balance by Mary Ann Hogan (that book is good as a study guide when you already read your textbook during semester), and another one Fluids and Electrolytes made Incredibly Easy 4th edition (this book is useful if you have no idea what they are talking about in your textbook :) I really wished I had more time to go over them before the test. These books are not mendatory, but are so helpful. I am not sure, but I think we will still need them for our second year too. Oh, BTW you won't need to know acid-base balance info for your first year test. Also, I found all of the Reviews & Rationales books helpful so far. I hope that helps :wink2:

Hi, I am taking hlt 141 and I want to go and take my first tests this week.

I was wondering, are the tests multiple choice or are they fill in the blanks?

I know that the test is computerized, but how are they set up?

Thank you,

It was multiple guess when I did it online a few yrs back! Thats the easiest of easiest courses you wil find,lol One could complete that course in a few weeks. But make sure you understand the "pre" fix and all that of the words, comes in very handy during som eof the nursign exams. You may not understand the whole answer, b tknowin gone part of the word can be a life saver,lol. As well, you could just email the prof and they normally tell you how thwe questions are.

future nova rn, I am taking Hlt 141 with Munch, I took the test 2 weeks ago and it was so easy.

Do not worry about it, you will do fine.

I had Mr M as well for the online class. One could seriously finish that class in a week or two!! They don't get any easier than that, BUT knowing the different parts of the word (Word root, prefix and suffix) will help you out a great deal on the exams and in practice!!

Thanks rulab. I guess I am just really stressed out because we moved a week and a half ago and I feel like I haven't studied enough. What a joke, I am embarrassed to even be worried. I will never move during a semester (if I can help it) again! It out me into a total FUNK. Not cool.

Hurray, I got the letter from Nova today and I got into the nursing program, I am so excited, I can't wait to get started. I hope that all of you who applied for the fall of 09 received your letters today too.

For those who did, I wish you all the best!

OMG I am SO glad that you posted this. Now I know I should be hearing something soon. My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. Only problem is that my mail is forwarded so I might not hear anything until later in the week. I have no idea how long a forwarded address delays your mail.

I am not sure how long it would take, maybe about 5 days or so? I had 3 other friends who received their letters today too.

I am sorry you have to wait so much longer.

Good luck!
