Alright, I'll start! MDC Fall 2013

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Why hello there, fellow students!

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! :x3: " and "Competition! :wideyed: " (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! :o 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?

GOOD LUCK! :cat:

Stats:

Expected final science GPA: 3.67

TEAS score: n/a

Nothing here either, i called yesterday and they said that they're still waiting on people to reject their seats so they can accept those still waiting....

ok the wait is over for me, i just receive my rejection letter =(

Sorry to hear, but do not despair. There is so much you can do until the next sign up for the Spring....sign up for the courses that you will also need to for the BSN. This list can be found in the Medical Campus option, there are several. Do it now, to save the time. You will need to meet the foreign requirement if you have not already done so in high school, plus others. Use this time to get them out of the way.

For those rejected what where your scores? GPA and TEAS?

Rejected from AO GPA 3.66 TEAS 86%

Question:Do Homestead students need to wear the green scrubs for classes? FT program btw. Thanks in advance.

Yes, we have to wear the green scrubs. We also have a facebook group page that you can search for, we have used it to share information and basically keep each other sane. You can search for MDC nursing F/T Homestead c/o 2014.

For those of you that are looking to retake the TEAS, I suggest you contact advisement or the nursing department first because I heard that the exam was going to be changing and they were no longer going to be utilizing the TEAS.

Good luck to all!

Teas exam can no longer be taken after Sept 3. Application deadline has been changed to Sept 3 due to the fact Sept 1st falls on a Sunday.

I was wondering if anyone could share some 'survival tips' -

1. like is there any way to make Med-Surge easier?

2. anything that can help to prepare you ahead of time?

Also, which hospitals are the most coveted for clinicals? I'm not from Miami so looking to learn the way of the land.

Thanks!!
