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.
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!
Guys... am I the only one who is a little anxious about the number of books and access codes we have? Are we really going to finish all these books in one semester?! While doing ATI work? We also only have one lecture day... I'm really grateful to be accepted and don't want to sound like I'm ungrateful but damn LOL. We may be in for a rough ride.
Same omgggg! Anxiety through the roof. Then I keep hearing all this talk about fundamentals being hard. Atp I just gotta put into god's hands and pray through the process bc I didn't come all this way for nothing. I had a career job already but I gave it up for this 🥺 whole year+ of pre-reqs, delays, denials and everything life has been throwing at me. I feel like we'll be OK! Just gotta block out all negativity and distractions!! We got this 😉
