Any Moraine Park Students?

Published

I got accepted in to the Nursing program for the Spring 2013 start for core courses. I am wondering if there is anyone else out there that will be starting with me? I will be attending the West Bend Campus!

I don't know much about it other than it is 15 dollars to take it and it is on nutrition. I believe you have to pass with a 60% maybe higher. It is taken at the end of second semester in Life span clinical. It is one of three we have to take and pass.

Good to know! Do you know anyone that took the jump start class? I am debating on taking it... Is it worth it?

Quite a few of my classmates did. I did not. So I am not sure if it is worth it.

Is the program at MPTC full time only or can it be taken part time also ? Does anyone also work that's in this program ?

Specializes in assisted living.

No....they phased out the part-time program :-( yes...some worked and some didn't. It all depends on the person....do you have kids or other things going on as well?? We had students with lots of obligations do well and graduate and then some with less obligations fail out. It really all depends. And some people are naturally better at school/tests etc. Let me know if you have any other questions!! I just graduated this week :-)

As of spring I believe they are no longer doing a part time program. It will only be full time. Lots of students do work, I couldn't not imagine working and doing this but some people don't have a choice. I do know it is a lot of work and A LOT of work.

This is coming from a now 3rd semester student. It takes A LOT of hard work and dedication. It is not an easy program.

I am at WB. I have not joined SNA because I just don't have the time. I have two toddlers at home so it is hard to find extra time. They do pay for your pinning ceremony and do fun spring break activities as well as other fun stuff.

My kids are 18 months and 3. It is a lot of work and little sleep at night. I also have an amazing husband and family that help a lot.
