futurenurse809

I am not accepted I was communicating with YMARTI who has been a BIG help with given us information. I applied to the PART TIME GENERIC program with a 3.53 GPA so I hope to get in for the FALL of 09'. What did you apply to ? What is you GPA now?

oh ok thanks I applied for the Full Time Generic for Fall 2009. I have a 3.57 GPA. I just hope and pray I get into the program.

We are all praying ..............I seems as if 3.5 might not be enough LOL
I still have DEP 2004 (human growth and development) to take but I opted to take that another time I am beat and this might be the last summer I get to enjoy before Nursing school for the next 2 yrs. I am letting brain rest for a bit......I just took Microbiology and Chemistry together this past semester and I managed to pull a 4.0 but it was rough so I deserve a break.

oh my gosh you guys i'm finishing my AA at MDC on education and i know deep down in my heart i don't want to be a teacher what i really want is nursing and after reading some of your comments that some of you are teacher i don't know what to do i know nursing is not easy is a long path and is very competitive but my husband tells my don't do what you want just do what you can and that is what i'm doing i'm getting ready to take my lpn test to enter the program i don't know if i'm going to make it but if i want to take the RN program i just need the sciences and two math but my GPA is almost a 3.0 i don't know what to do please any advise thank you soo much for you help is good to find people like you in this journey

Helen27,

If you are passionate about something, you should GO for it. You don't want to have that "what if" feeling in the back of your head. If nursing is what you want, then do it. I suggest that you volunteer at local hospital to get a feel of the field. Talk to a couple of nurses. LPN is a great start ! You said your GPA is almost a 3.0...you need to increase it. When you take your science and math courses, make sure you get all A's...it makes a big difference in your GPA. MDC's nursing program is very competitive, so your GPA should be high. BCC also has a nursing program, you can look into that too. The best thing to do is to talk to a nursing advisor. I hope things work out for you. Good luck .

Hi everyone. I am a second semester generic student at MDC. I have a friend who applied last spring for entrance into the august 08 program. I asked her when she got her letter and she looked for it... Called me and said hers was dated may 28th. So since the deadline was may 1st... It looks like you guys should hopefully be hearing any day now. I was glued to mine for a whole week. I got my acceptance letter a little less than 4 weeks!!! Best of luck to all of you!!!!!

So, Mellissa did you have to take the NET before you started the program? How is your school and hospital schedule throughout the week? what was your cumm. GPA when you got in the program? I appologize I am asking so many questions I just want to stay informed.

Okay guys it's Tuesday and we are creeping closer to the end of the month.....Lets HOPE we hear something in the meantime i will continue checking my email

I also check every day, several times a day crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. hope we have some news this week.
