Applying to MDC RN Generic Prgm for Fall 08

Jessica1024 · Jul 23, 2008

I have not gotten into the program, and I am already getting depressed hearing from other students. It just seems like there is no hope. "Well a bunch of people have failed already, I am barely keeping my head out of water." That is all I hear! Praying for C's right now, just praying.

WE ALL need to RELAX. We have not started so we cant enter something with a pessimistic outlook based on OTHER peoples OPINIONS on the program.

OK?!?!?!?! LETS ENJOY OUR ONE MONTH VACATION before we start.

That is all. :twocents:

Good idea. Right. I totally forgot that we are now in for a vacation. I wish I did not even have to work. That way I could REALLY REALLY relax. That is what I need because I am really stressed out. I just wish I could hear something good I suppose.

Anyway thanks for reminding me that we are now on vacation. Yay.

Orientation was soooo WAK! I felt like they were talking to all of us as if we had never been to college before! Ugh, very disappointing... :yawn:

I'm SOOOO mad about my schedule!!!!!!! :madface: (I was able to get all of the classes I wanted at exactly 4pm yesterday because "if we regisred before 4pm, then our classes would be dropped"-------Stupid! Especially when orientation ended at 3!!!!!!!!!!) And then today when I go to print out my schedule, all of my classes have been dropped :banghead: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so furious!!!!!!!!!!! I was able to get 3 of the 5 classes I had originally registered for, and I will be calling registration early in the morning to fix the problem!!!!! :nono:

This is not a good start for MDC I must say:argue:

I don't know why registration is made to be so complicated. I heard a couple of people complaining today in class, also.

I am sorry, but my fellow friends were so right about MDC. It is completely disorganized. Insanity at it's most. Not only that, but what about the problem with the ATI test! How many of us had already asked for the day off? And then that lady getting mad at us for not being flexiable. I am sorry most of us are trying to work what we can now so that we can go off to nursing and be covered financially.

Some people are quitting their jobs and everything! We are going on a limb here! I mean some consideration would be nice. I was very upset. We made the time in our day for the exam, it is not our fault that they MADE A MISTAKE. Now we have to fight with that AND with the people around us being so rude because they made a mistake BUT we have to be flexiable because that is a good nurse????????!!!!!!!!!!!!

No way. Family first. I have bills to pay and kids to feed. That just does not go that way. And I do not expect to be repremended for a mistake which was not made by me.

so every1 i figured out why all of my classes were dropped.......... :confused:

i got into baptist scholars!!!! :yeah:

i called the school of nursing and was ready to chew them out for what happened to my schedule, and they told me that i was accepted into the baptist scholars!! i asked her when baptist was planning on telling me, and she laughed and said that they were supposed to call me... i have yet to receive that call but mdc helped me out. lol:smokin:

Jessica1024 · Jul 23, 2008

Great news! Congrats! At least some bad news lead to some good news right? I am hoping my friend who also applied to the baptist program gets a call to know if she is in or not.We made a support system, but she might be leaving to Baptist which would leave me alone.

I would be kind of sad, but I would be happy that she is getting her education for free. Wow this is a blow. I am going to have to get a new study buddy. LOL! Any volunteers?????

Anyway good for you!!!!!! And again congrats.

I believe the same. I am really scared about what is coming. I am asking myself if I can do well in the program. I am a good student, but I have been thinking that the program is too much for me. I am working full time now , and I have to quit in almost one month. Fortunately, my husband is helping me in this long journey. About the TEAS, I did not do so well in math, too. I was scared about the running clock. I also think that in the orientation, the speakers had a bad attitude against us, specially pregnant women, and students with kids. I have three!!!!!

Congratulations Tiff, you must be so happy to finally know that you got in to Baptist! I'm just really anxious to start. It's one thing to hear other people talk about what it's going to be like, and quite another to finally experience it for yourself. How does everybody like their schedule for Fall? Even though I didn't have many choices to choose from since I'm going to Jackson, I'm pretty satisfied with mine.

Hey guys, hope someone can help with this one. I just got a call from Baptist for an interview. Any advice, tips or recommendations. Can you let me know about the specific questions?

Thanks:D

Jessica1024 · Jul 24, 2008

I am starting to breath again, thankfully. I just can not have a heart attack if I have not even started the program. I just think it is going to be a lot of concepts all at once. I remember how people talked about Anatomy, and yes it was hard, but it was doable, and at the end maybe even a little fun, because in reality you are really learning about yourself at the end.

Anyway I am just going to go in head first, and study like a maniac. Basically nursing school will be my life for the next comple of months, and there is not much I can do about that except try to enjoy it!
