   In my opinion, take the generic course. I have several friends that started off in accelerated and ended up switching over to full time after 2 semesters because that pathway is just insane. When one of them got to Pharm, 95% of her class failed the ...

   It's a pin name plate that says your name on it. You need it for clinicals. As Sara stated earlier, it takes quite a bit to get there(mine took like 6-7 weeks) and it's only like 8 bucks so I recommend going to the bookstore and buying it as soon as...

   Basically your courses are just like how they are on MDCs website, you won't start your clinical course in the nursing home for at least a month after your other classes started so you could have some sort of foundation. The nursing home honestly is ...

   Your GPA is a small part of it really. The main thing is the HESI score which is 60% of your total score. The difference between your GPA and your friends was just 2 points on the total score really.

   I remember getting the news that I got in the program via email. I believe I got the acceptance letter through snail mail a couple days afterwards. Just keep checking your MDC email everyday

    They apparently changed the date of the RASE exam. Even though the acceptance email might say another date, you have to register for the date/time that the recent email states.

    According to the lady who we turned our health forms to, she said that the Part Time group can decline the flu shot this time around since it won't be flu season by the time we start clinicals (in the summer) but everyone else needed it supposedly.
