What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

They also discuss the transition from TEAS to HESI exams, application deadlines, and the intensity of prerequisite courses.

Hello guys,

Thought I'd start a thread for all those MCC students that applied for the MCC Fall 2025 nursing.  I'm anxious and nervous I have a 3.8 GPA but did not do very well on the TEAS.

When is the deadline for Fall term this year? 

Is it too late to apply for the nursing program? 

& what sections does HESI cover at Macomb? I am currently doing my last prerequisite at WCCCD!

Sorry for being so late, Macombs nursing program application deadline is in February every year. If you get accepted there are 4 possible start dates, august, october, January and march.

HESI is new at macomb, they post on there selective admissions page a link to the nursing packet<- this is your guide to getting in, it was the ATI-TEAS before and it covered anatomy, basic math, basic english, basic grammar and basic chemistry. So I'm assuming somewhere along those lines.

Hey guys, I know that I need to take A&P and microbio but I don't know what professors are good. I'm taking A&P online also, do you guys have any teacher recommendations or study tips?

I would not recommend taking these online.
I had Alia Ferdaous for A&P and while she is a decent person, she is not a good teacher in my opinion. She just buzz reads through slides and teaching isn't her passion- she's just waiting for med school. 
Sassanella for patho- he is a brilliant man and provides MANY resources but you'll still have to work very hard. He's a big talker, and gets sidetracked with stories. But they can be helpful as they do *frequently* relate to the material.

I got in without being a CNA, I also know a CNA that didn't get in but was waitlisted, overall your exam and GPA is worth more and you should focus on that, specifically the TEAS(it's what I took) having that exam be high is good as it's 47% in ranking alone with GPA also 47%

Don't worry if you score low on the exam as long as you have a high GPA.  My score was 65 and I got in.   Most people score lower on the TEAS vs the HESI... this is why they will be switching back to HESI.
