You can call me Cedeno, and I'll be applying for the MDC nursing program for fall 2013! I've been excited for awhile now, especially since MDC (and all its red tape) has delayed my intended apply date twice (originally Fall 2012, then Spring 2013). Ah, but no worries!
Right now I'm taking my last bit of classes before applying: A&P 2 w/lab, Micro, and Critical Thinking/Ethics. I've seen many nursing students this semester-- which is wonderful-- but at the same time I think two words when I meet another pre-nursing student: "Awesome! " and "Competition! " (Not seriously, but in a jokey kind of way.)
Once admitted, I'd love to form a study group. Size isn't quite so much the priority as cohesiveness is (though size counts!). I'd love study mates who like to utilize chats like Google talk, Skype, Kik, etc. for times when perhaps we'd like to study something but cannot make it to a physical location.
I'm a visual and auditory learner, so I love highlighters, dry-erase boards, and discussing questions together to ensure everyone understands rather than one person offering up the answer and others just accepting it without knowing.
Ah! I've managed to turn this into an ad for study mates! I'm just excited and hope there are other potential classmates here on AN. Please pop in and say hello! Let's talk GPAs, TEAS scores, whatever!
....Also if you take the TEAS twice is it highest score used or last test taken?
@jakagi - I'm excited to see that someone else on here is planning to go to Homestead campus!
I can't believe they are taking so long! I feel like they should've just set a date and that is the end of that. It's very unprofessional of them to just have us all waiting on the edge. They could at least send an email to the applicants explaining themselves, that way, they wouldn't be receiving dozens of phone calls on a daily basis. Sorry, I just had to vent!!!
Anyways, at least we are one day closer to finding something out....whenever the date may be.
Is anyone doing the CPR class soon? I was going to do it in Key Largo with Alecia (another girl on here), but I haven't heard anything from her. Is anyone else taking it soon? I'm registered for a class at MDC, but I would rather not do it on a Sunday 9 A- 3 P.
I was checking online too for another CPR option. I live in north Miami so the key largo thing won't work for me. If anyone has any other options please share
Lexibabi, excellent work!!!! *****is the best Advisor. Thanks that we have ****there. Now I have a question: Is there going to be second rounds of Emails with all these problems?
@gavalia - I would say there has to be a second round of emails because they want to offer to positions to the next best candidate after people decline. For example, I applied to both PT and FT generic. Let's say (and hope) I am accepted into both programs, then I will have to decline one acceptance. That would open up a spot for someone else which MDC will want to fill.
Specializes in Peds, Med-Surg, Disaster Nsg, Parish Nsg.
Terms of Service Reminder
Several posts have been edited to comply with the Terms of Service. While it is important to be able to network, everyone should be mindful of the following:
It is a small world - when we narrow it down to a state and throw in some personal info, there is actually a pretty good chance someone may recognize you if you are not careful. Your privacy is paramount to us.
While this site is a wonderful place to vent (without excess personally identifiable details) it is not the place to express why ("x" specific person, place or program) is terrible. Gripe away, but since we cannot permit allegations to be made about named entities, your care in not naming them is very much appreciated.
Please do not give out personal identifying information about yourself or others. Do not name names where anyone could identify any person in any facility including your nursing programs or place of employment.
We ask that you do not post names of school faculty/staff on the public board. It is best to share this type of information via private message.
Can anyone answer this question: on the mdc class search page I was looking at the clinical sites. For some reference numbers there are 2 hospitals (example hospital A/ hospital B). Why is that? Do we go to one hospital one day and the other the next day?
