   I'm sorry you had such a "negative experience" at MSMC. I really find that surprising...I also find it really odd that you say the staff wasn't "supportive" of students. It's safe to say that my whole cohort right now would completely disagree with t...

   idk who that clinical director you're referring to but we're referring to the ones who told us directly that those sweaters are not allowed at all DURING clinicals. you can wear them BEFORE clinicals, DURING lunch, and AFTER clinicals. we had clinic...

   FYI on that blue fleece jacket...you can't wear that during clinicals....the people who sell you the uniform will say you can wear it during clinicals, which is why everyone in our class got it, but during orientation for clinicals, the instructors s...

   concordia just started their ABSN program and i believe it's less than 3 years old (they started in august 08 and barely got accredited in october of that same year) whereas MSMC started their program over 10 years ago (early 90s). yes, MSMC is expen...

    just think of it this way...a lot of hospitals are hiring people with a BSN only and not just an ADN. when you graduate from this program, you will have a BSN....a BSN from Mount St. Mary's College, which is a very reputable school.

    you can't use calculators for the math exam. a lot of people also thought it was fairly easy...the people who did "fail" only missed it by 1 question and ended up getting an 82% instead of the passing 84%. anyway, im sure you all did great during yo...

    there's a couple "solve for X" questions but real simple...for example: 42 = 5x + 2...x = 8. lots of addition, subtraction, division, multiplying of decimals and fractions. conversion of percents into decimals, decimals to percents, percents to fract...

    Math test was very simple and basic math. When you're accepted, they'll give you a sample math exam, which is very similar to the math exam you'll be taking. you have to get an 84% to pass....if you don't pass, you have to complete tutoring at the sc...
