Malcolm X College ADN Program - Fall 2025 Applicants: Let's Connect!

Updated:   Published

What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing issues with enrolling in specific nursing courses, particularly N151, due to seats being closed and unavailable for registration. Some members are experiencing frustration with the enrollment process, while others are speculating about additional class options being added in the future. There is also confusion about the registration process and whether permission codes are required for enrollment.

Hi everyone!

I'm applying to the ADN program at Malcolm X College for Fall 2025, and I thought it would be helpful to start a thread to connect with other students who are applying as well. I'm currently working on completing my medical requirements through CastleBranch and preparing to take the ATI TEAS exam soon. I'd love to hear where everyone else is in the process and if you have any tips or advice to share. I've also been wondering what factors really help candidates stand out during the admissions process. For example, does having healthcare experience—like working as a CNA or medical assistant—make a big difference in how applications are evaluated? Or, does being bilingual help strengthen your application and increase your chances of getting in?

If you've already applied or been accepted in the past, it would be great to hear what you think helped your application stand out. For those of you who are still working on your requirements, feel free to share what you've completed so far and how you're preparing for the TEAS exam.

Let's use this thread to support each other and share insights as we work through the application process. I'm excited to hear from everyone and hope we can all navigate this journey together. Good luck to all future nurses applying for Fall 2025!

I got into the ADN program, looking forward to seeing you all!

I haven't tried registering because I was under the impression we would receive more instructions...any possibility that the spots taken are people who had to re-take or people that deferred their admission to Fall 2025? Just a guess. Hopefully we get more info soon!

I think so! I was told by past students we had to wait for the official welcome package and email with the permission number. Maybe they are sending it out individually based on who was offered and seat and accepted first? I emailed them, so I'll keep you updated if they ever reply! 🙂

Yeah I'm sure we will hear more soon. I'm just anxious because only one option works for me and it currently has the most students enrolled in it. If I don't get the one option I'll have to quit my job. So I hope I don't miss it.

Hey. I got a response. You are correct. Each RN student has to be manually / individually updated in the system. The students who have enrolled into 101 were allowed access and I was told there are 70+ students entering the cohort so we have to wait LOL I'll be stalking my email now. I definitely have a preferred class! 😭

Thank you lavagirl45! They just replied to me saying the same thing hopefully they update our accounts sooner rather than later and we can register for the specific class we want 🤞🏽

Hey guys,

For the RN program, am I correct that first semester were just taking Nursing 101?  I already took both A&P's. The acceptance still feels surreal 🙂

Yes. I find myself still checking to make sure the acceptance is still there! 🤣 the struggle was real. But yes Fundamentals 101 is the only class for semester 1. 

Hey Everyone! 
I spoke with advising and the registrar's office is having a coding issue for the nursing program. No ETA on when it will be taken care of. It's internal and was sent up to the district level according to the advisor I spoke with.

Have any RN students been able to enroll in 101? I know we were waiting on the fix.

I just got back on with advising and they said they are still having a coding issue but they were able to issue a permission number so it would enroll me. 
 

Jump on advising vss or go in person and ask for a permission number

I just spoke with someone from advising and they said they don't issue permission numbers. This is so frustrating. I keep seeing the number of available seats for the class time I want be less each day 😞 

They actually do that's how I registered for 101
