I just submitted my application for the fall semester to McLennan Community College. Does anyone know when letters go out? I know they don't even meet until June....
I only have 39 points :-/ My grades are awesome, but I haven't taken growth and development yet (taking it summer 1) and I haven't moved to McLennan County yet (moving in 3 weeks). I am SO stressed about it! But, I will have 46 points in Sept, if I have to re-apply
Anyone else just submit their application to MCC???
So I took my hesi yesterday and I got the three points! I'm so excited, but boy was it frustrating! I was just wondering though, how did you'd do on the critical thinking section? Ya know the one that has clinical questions and it tells you your personality and stuff.
GREAT JOB!!!!!!! I am not retaking it for that one point, but it was super frustrating to make a 94 and miss out on it. Like my 98 in math means nothing! Oh well.... I made an 880 on that section if I remember correctly. That section was the WORST! I just finished LifeSpan and made an easy A - Dr. Morris is super nice! I don't know why anyone would say anything bad about her or the class! I even went and visited with her in her office. I also just started the intro anatomy class yesterday. So far, it is all review, but it is A LOT of work!
It looks like we will be starting together in January! HOW EXCITING! :-)
All I have to take in the fall in nutrition, though, so that stinks.... but oh well!
Thank you so much! I really hope we are able to! One of my friends said that they could combine your best scores, but idk how true that is? Maybe you should ask and reconsider! I think you'll be fine though since you have your other classes completed!
I'm sure it was fine, some people just don't study enough and complain about the professor lol Congrats on your A! You'll be fine with that intro class, it's a piece of cake! You're got your other A&p classes completed and that class is just like the basics of it!
What might you be taking nutrition for? I'm taking a first aid class in the fall for some extra hours, but the bonus part is you get CPR certified in the end!
ooohhh - maybe I could take that first aid class, too. I need to go and speak with Mrs Patterson (I think that's her name??) about what I can take. I am going to bridge to my BSN after the RN program and there is a whole list of classes you have to take and the only one I do not have yet is nutrition. After this intro anatomy class, I will have 46 points and a 4.0, no reason to suffer through the HESI again!!
I'm doing that too! But I decided to wait and do my classes when I have the time :) and you really should! Plus you're benefiting from it and it's worth three credits! Oh yeah then I wouldn't worry about that hesi then! Haha
Btw have you talked to someone about the bsn? I messaged someone once and never got a reply!
I have only spoken with Mrs Clark about it briefly, and she is the one who told me to talk to Patterson about what to take. I am planning on getting a job after I get my RN and then just doing the BSN coursework all online. Who did you email about it? I just know it is through Texas Tech and they are supposed to have an AMAZING program
I don't even remember now, but it was someone off of the university program website! Maybe I'll try and take them as summer courses? Well if I have the time lol isn't it already all online?
it is all online, but I think there may be some clinicals, as well? Not really 100% sure. Right now, my focus is on that RN, but I know I want to get my BSN and maybe even my NP. Kinda depends on the job opportunities.... Since I have such young kids, it would be awesome to have a nice, cushy Dr's office job by the time my oldest in in HS! I know some nurses love the excitement of the ER, and I know I will too, but I want to be able to go mt kid's activities, too! All I know is I cannot wait to start my clinicals!
Is it true that they will only be accepting 41 people in the spring?? A lady I talk to told me this but idk how true it is! It makes me really nervous :/
Oh yes I'm really excited for that!! I'm not really sure where I'd prefer to work, but I guess I'll figure it out once we start. :) your choice makes a lot of sense though! I would want the same if I had a family to take care of. :)
I have not heard that! I was under the impression that everyone who fit certain criteria made it. For the May application, they accepted everyone who had at least 43 points and a 4.0. If it is the same for the Sept application, then you will be fine! Ask Mrs. Clark about that. I don't know how they would decide between two identical applicants if things like recommendation letters and personal experience don't count. They just kept my recommendation letters in my application file but they didn't count for anything
Oh no there most definitely is a cut off limit! For this fall it was 60! That's why I say I am so worried about getting in or not. I think it has a lot to do with your hesi scores and the critical thinking section of the hesi! I've seen people get in with 43 but not 45 so I believe that it has a lot to do with the hesi.
When I met with Clark last month after picking up my rejection letter, she told me that my HESI score was good, so I know yours will be! What did you make on that critical thinking section? I am pretty sure I made an 880 on that part, and then I made a 98 math and a 94 reading for a 96 overall. I don't remember my personality or learning style results though. How do they decided between identical candidates then if they are both at the bottom of the acceptable range?
I heard that MCC has been having like 50% of RN students flunk out. Have you heard anything about this? I don't really know anything about the program except that the NCLEX passing rate is 99%. I am applying here out of necessity since we moved very suddenly. Of course, the person I heard it from was rejected from MCC twice before finally getting in to Hill College, he is currently a nurse at the VA hospital in Waco and also his wife just got rejected from MCC for the second time. Maybe he has hard feelings?
You'll be fine with that intro class, it's a piece of cake! You're got your other A&p classes completed and that class is just like the basics of it!
