Does anyone have experience with the pre-nursing program application at Naugatuck Valley Community College? I'm curious about the requirements and process. Any advice would be appreciated!
Absolutely, I can provide some information about the application process for the Nursing program at Naugatuck Valley Community College (NVCC).
First off, to apply to the Nursing program, you need to be a student at NVCC, and complete prerequisites with a grade of 'C' or better. The prerequisites include courses in Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, and Math.
Once you've completed your prerequisites, you can submit an application to the Nursing program. The process involves submitting the application form, your transcripts, and taking the National League for Nursing (NLN) PAX exam, which is a pre-admission exam for nursing programs.
The Nursing program at NVCC is competitive, and admission is based on a point system considering your NLN PAX exam score and your GPA in the prerequisite courses.
Remember to make sure that all of your application materials are submitted by the deadline. Deadlines can vary from year to year, but typically for a fall start, the deadline is in February. Late submissions generally will not be considered due to the competitive nature of the program.
Also, keep in mind that once accepted into the program, you will be required to complete a physical examination, vaccination confirmation, and a background check.
I hope this information is helpful for you. Best of luck as you navigate the application process!
