Well, another year means another time for more score updates. I am getting ready to take my HESI in a couple weeks to apply for the 2012 Nursing Program and I must say I am really beginning to get nervous! Thanks to their recent addition of HHSC-1040 (right before I was apply ) I am just curious how everyone did, and what was it like this year? I have no clue what to expect and I have been searching forever. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am really not worried about the Math or Grammar sections. I'm more worried about the Vocabulary, Reading, and A&P section that they added. Any advice would be great. I already have the Evolve HESI book that I have been reviewing from for the past couple of months. I'm still just really nervous.
I don't have a HESI score yet, but my GPA to apply for the program is: 3.925.
1 year ago I was in the same boat, on here all the time checking if any knew anything! I got in with a 3.78 and a 88.5 on the hesi. I originally had an Jan start but then got bumped up to Oct due to the fact that there were many people that hadn't taken HHSC yet. I was ranked 109. I hope this relieves some of your nerves. Believe me, I had plenty of those!!!
The program is intense with nerves and emotions, not hard if you study but you study all the time, in fact review an NCLEX book before you start it helps a ton!!
The first quarter is 4 days a week, I only work 2 days now. The second quarter is 3 days, and the 3rd quarter is 4 days (Mon & thrus 9-12, Tues/Wed 7-3) just to give you an idea. There is plenty of homework during clinicals.
It is well worth it, I love it!!
Good luck to all of you! PS we got our letters on April 25 (ish)
Thank u so much nlr5939:) I appreciate all of the info and advice people have been putting on here. It is so stressful waiting to hear if I got in but it helps to hear from people that know what it felt like.
Did everyone get their GPA/Ranking Composite letter today? Looks like ranking starts April 19. Ugh, I can't wait any longer!! We need to get this thread more active, where the heck are all the applicants this year???
I was told by Macomb that 526 applied last year and only 412 had all the needed requirements. I feel everyone says something different tho so I'm not sure how accurate that is

You're close, because the threads last year said 423 people were ranked.
I wonder if the # is a lot lower because of the Intro to Nursing class, because it definitely eliminates the people who are applying to several nursing schools if they haven't taken any classes at MCC.
