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!

Did you try calling them? it's been a couple weeks for me now and they said they'll ship approximately by the 1st. I just went ahead and got my own and put the patch on. Kinda worried about my lab coat and if it'll be needed for Monday 😕

Where did you get your patch? Also do you think any Navy blue scrubs will work.

Chicago uniform company on Roosevelt. Working class uniforms on 95th and Cicero has them too. I would think any scrubs would work for the time being...
So guys. Do you any of you know if we have to wear our lab coat? Also do we have to have our stethoscope and stuff too? Sorry to ask but the nursing department isn't accepting calls and it's going straight to voicemail.

I think so because that's part of the uniform and they said to come to orientation in full uniform. I believe it's to make sure we are fully prepared for lab/clinical

I reached out to the nursing committee. I was told we do not have to wear our lab jackets or stethoscopes for orientation. Only the required scrub color ceil / baby blue for LPNs and navy blue for ADN.
