Hi all,

I've just handed in my application to MDC for Spring '13.

Right now I'm overall score is 82 but I'm planning on retaking the TEAS in August to improve that.

If anyone has a book list from previous students, please send. I'd love to get cracking.

Wishing you all best of luck. Josh

I will probably buy mine used. Not too fond of MDC's rental prices.

Have you checked out Chegg.com? They have the books for rent, pretty cheap. I'm just not sure if renting them at all is a good idea

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to see if there were any members on this post that have been accepted into the Generic Part-Time Program for 2013.

In an effort to build support, study groups, and network with each other to succeed to the best of our abilities I will be trying to put together a Facebook group (specific for Part-timers) and a spreadsheet of our collective contact info that we can give to each other.

My name is Gayon Nikki and my email address is gwelltravaille AT gmail DOT com.

I am definitely excited for next year as we embark on our respective nursing careers together.

P.S. I strongly believe that we can succeed to a higher degree working together. It would be awesome to hear everyone's experience so far from administration, the process of getting their provisional items, etc.

So went to Uniform City and they wouldn't honor their website price for this stethoscope, so I'm buying this one. They wanted $85 when their online price was $70. I also plan to get another pair of Cherokee 4000 scrubs. I haven't found this scope cheaper really than $70. - Anyway, I know I've posted this scope before but I like them. I saw the blue one at the store and I liked that color too. As for clothes- if you're a guy, don't expect much. They also don't have much of a selection of the hunter green. If you're a gal, wide assortment. Oh well, maybe I'll take up sewing too.

Amazon.com: 3M Littmann Classic II S.E. Stethoscope, Burgundy Tube, 28 inch, 2211: Health & Personal Care So this will be my scope when it's delivered. It gets good ratings and meets our requirements.

Hey guys...I got here in error finding actually blogs for the BSN...However, from one that graduated just this past April from MDC with an ADN, here are my two cents...

PART ONE OF MY TWO CENTS....

DO NOT spend a fortune for a stethoscope, most of us did not spend over $30 and some have even forgotten them at rotations. No matter how much you spend, buy a tag that has your name and cell # in case someone finds it.

DO NOT buy all your textbooks at once, I used a Med-Surge book one edition older than the one suggested from Ebay and it was awesome, it was almost brand new, came with the code and CD. The new one costs around $150 give or take, I got mine for less than half.

DO NOT make a huge study group, these tend to become more for socializing and you really want to study. Also remember, one learns when one teaches, and the group members must have some things in common. Example, if you are single and have all the time in the world, you may not fit well with someone who has children with a very limited time. If you are a morning person and like to study really early in the morning, you may not want to pair up with a nightowl. So pair up accordingly, and make is small enough that it will not become a party. Each group member must bring something to the table. Every little thing helps.

IF you did not get accepted, do not sweat it, take pre-requisites that you will need for the BSN while you wait for the admission letter. TRUST me, you will want to get your BSN, I have still yet to find a job, but the job fair I went to this past October, emphazised how many hospitals want to apply for magnet status and BSN will be what they will hire. Holy Cross is one such hospital, they will only hire BSN.

Though microbiology lab is not required to get accepted to the ADN, it will be a requirement to get into the BSN, so it does not hurt to take it along with the lecture class.

You will be hit with the humble reality that having a 4.0 GPA in nursing school, while doable, is difficult. Do your best, apply yourself, and accept that nursing school is like no other education you have gotten so far. This will start to sink in when you get to Med-Surge.
