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?
@Carissa- Yea they only have BSN or RN-to-BSN but I think its pretty cool that you can get a BSN in the same amount of time that you will get a ASN at MDC as long as you have your pre reqs completed. Too bad they only offer Full Time.
Anyways for now we will have to keep checking our email....and hope not to go insane while we wait
Surprisingly enough, I have a sense of peace today as opposed to other days. I don't have that sense of urgency and anxiety to check my email. Maybe its a sign, but I don't know for what. I'm moving this weekend so at least I havve something to distract me ....good luck everyone!

Their program is actually a semester longer than ours (5 vs 4), but every semester is more intense for their program. For example, our first semester is 10 credits, theirs is 15, our second is 11 credits, theirs is 16, etc. I wouldn't even CONSIDER working part time during that program. They have you there all day every day! I actually prefer to do it through MDC because of this. Plus, their program is more expensive.
Their RN-to-BSN is only 3 semesters and you can actually knock out some of the classes ahead of time. I already did my electives (which allows me to squeeze the other classes into 2 semesters).
