I don't know about the bridge program but I am in the BSN program and I would not say that it is hard but it is just time consuming & I did the two plus two. I took all of my pre-req's at MGCCC and now I am a senior at USM. Let me know if you have more questions.

I'm taking my pre-reqs at MGCCC/JC campus. I am also looking into the bridge program to get my BSN from USM. I already have a BBA, so I'm hoping this will help me as long as I can pull my GPA up in my core science courses. What campus are you attendin for your pre-reqs, or have you already completed them?

Hey! Do you know how hard it is to get into the ADN program at MGCCC? I was wondering what the cut-off is for the GPA requirements. Also, when do you apply? I already have a Bachelor's degree, so I have most of my pre-reqs out of the way. I'm just basically taking my math & science courses because my degree was in Marketing......not a lot of math or science required for that degree. I will complete my pre-reqs next semester, with most of my core-reqs completed as well. I will take A&P I next semester, and then A&P II next summer. So will I be able to apply in the spring for the fall deadline? Any information you can provide will be very helpful to me. Thanks!!!

Hi Angel,

Sorry but I have no idea from experience for MGCCC. I have heard from others that the waiting list is really long but I never applied myself I just did most of my pre-req's there and went to USM.

Thanks anyway cynt77, was it very hard to get into USM's nursing program? I am going to apply at both, and just see which one I can get into sooner.

Congrats on that one:balloons: Do you know what the cut-off GPA is, and is there a long waiting list? Sorry for so many questions. I'm just excited & nervous all at the same time. I think it's that way with everyone.:lol2:

No Problemo ask away!

Sorry but I don't know what the cut-off was. But at one point in time they were searching for applicants right after Katrina. I guess a lot of people thought the school was closed down but they just moved us to a temporary location.

Hi Angel 3, I graduated from MGCCC/JC -RN program last year. I still need several pre-req classes to get into the BSN program at USM, but I haven't taken any of them yet. I will probably be taking them at one of the MGCCC campuses in spring.

He TelegirlRN, how was the program at the JC campus? Was it very hard to get into, and was there a long waiting list? I'm sure there is because we started our fall classes today, and you know you go through that whole spill of introducing yourself & your major. Just about every girl in all 3 classes I had today were nursing major's. I am currently taking my pre & core-reqs at the same time. I hope to be applying next semester for the fall ADN program. I am also going to apply at USM to better my chances. I hope to see you on campus next semester. Let me know what classes you will be taking & good luck. Congrats on the graduation.:balloons: I can't wait for that opportunity.:lol2:

Thanks, I'm going to apply to both programs, and pray I get accepted into one of them. It doesn't matter to me which one because MGCCC has a bridge program with USM to go straight into their program after you complete your ADN program along with the core-reqs.
