Justin Vargas is uniquely prepared to meet those challenges.īefore immersing himself in the BMCC nursing program, he took just a few classes and meanwhile, completed the Medical Assistant Specialist (MAS) program in BMCC?s Center for Continuing Education and Workforce Development. They also complete units on obstetrics, psychiatric nursing and pediatrics. The nursing program at BMCC is respected across the City for its rigorous standards.Īdmittance is contingent on passing the HESI A2 Admission Assessment Exam?a predictor of student success in nursing school?and once enrolled, students must maintain a minimum grade point average in courses including anatomy and physiology.
