   I am currently in the 2nd semester. The classes are posted under registration so you can look at the times available to get an idea. It can certainly be difficult to decipher though. Some classes are only 4 wks so they are very fast paced. Typica...

   I agree, the back pack I recommended was before I started the program. I currently use a standard backpack to carry my binders and only use that one above if I need to take my laptop with me somewhere.

   The HESI study guide definitely prepared me for the exam. Having my A&P and micro completed also helped. I would say I actively studied a couple of hours per day for about 4-6 weeks before the exam. The math is what I feared the most. Pract...

   I was actually surprised that there were only around 350 applicants that qualified for ranking in 2014. MCC even decreased the amount of test dates offered for the HESI. I remember the first time I applied there were like 7-800. Implementing the sp...

   Many people go straight to the reading comprehension because the paragraphs can be long and they are more focused at the the beginning of the exam. Work on your weakness areas first before you fatigue. HTH

    Four years ago I was an alternate in the nursing program, 30th out. I also got into PTA, OTA, RT, and Surg. tech. As soon as I paid my $100 for the PTA program, I lost my placement into the nursing program. Back then the PTA deadline was earlier ...
