Sorry to see you haven't gotten any responses about the school and it's program. A while back I had started some threads asking about a few others and didn't get much of a response either so don't feel bad. I guess Allnurses isn't very popular with NC students?

Are there many applicants applying into the program?

sjack011 · Mar 1, 2009

I don't know how many applicants are applying, but the NCBON website has only 140 available seats for their program. I called the school, and was told that the letters went out friday, or if they didn't go out friday they would go out Monday (tomorrow). So I should know by the end of the week if I got in or not.

Before I even applied to the program, I met with my advisor and she said that since my grades were good and I scored high on the HOBET, that my chances were pretty good for getting in. But I don't wanna get my hopes up.

Howdy....

I haven't applied for the Fall 2009 class, but I will be applying to the Fall 2010 class. My significant-other is currently in her second semester of the program. She is doing well, and puts the time in. So far she has lost approx 10 people in her class, for one reason or another.

Hello- thanks for joining in. :-)

Did she get in without waiting or reapplying? I hope in southeast NC high grades are enough to get a seat in a program. I know in other places a great GPA can only get you a shot in, but no guarantees.

I'm hoping to get into Watts in Durham, but if not I'm going to apply to some schools closer to the Fayetteville area.

Central Carolina, Robeson, Sandhills, etc. Maybe even Johnston although it's a bit farther out.

I hope good grades are enough too, dreamon. So bunji, did your SO have to reapply, or was she excepted the first time around? I was wondering how the instructors were as well. I expect it to be really tough, but do the instructors do their best in making sure the students are prepared, and that they aren't just collecting a paycheck?

Also, I saw that Central Carolina had a 100% pass rate for the NCLEX, and I also considered applying to Robeson, but couldn't get anyone to respond to my email, and the phone number was wrong.

I just took another look at Robeson's 5 year pass rates, and I don't like what I saw. Maybe that in addition to not being able to contact them is a sign.

SJack011: To answer your questions, no she did not have to reapply. She had already completed A&P I & II, Micro, Psych & her other electives, so she only had the Nursing classes to take. I believe this helped her on the Stage II College Course Worksheet. She has people fresh outta high school, and people in their early 40's, with and without college. So I'm not sure what exactly they use as criteria...

Thanx for the info bunji. I got my acceptance letter today, so I guess good grades were enough. I finished most of the corequisites too, but I still have to take cna I, English 112 and a business course. I also have to get CPR certfied. I am going to have a busy summer, but I'm looking forward to it!

hoser1911 · Mar 6, 2009

I was looking at the CNA I as well, and the SO told me that 1/2 of her class didn't take the course, they just took the test and got the certification.

Something to think about...
