MCC nursing applicants for 2015

UCole · Jan 22, 2015

I guess whatever is meant to be , will be. If I don't get in, it will give me time to take other classes needed for my BSN. I will just retake my Hesi and as long as I do little closer to 90%, I should get in with the 4.0 gpa.

That has been my outlook as well. I'm kinda happier in a sense that I didn't do as well on HESI I will start a little later it'll give me time to work on those classes. I only really need one more semester after this one. So, if I start in January, I will feel that it's meant to be.

I am taking Lifespan and Spanish this semester for my GenEd requirements for my BSN. I still have to take my Lit class, Chem class, Hist and an Arts G.E in order to transfer to O.U. I was hoping for an October or January start but since my 2 classes transferred lower than expected because they were science classes in two separate segments and I received a lower average in one segment than the other so rather than taking the average as a unit they are counted separately unlike say the A & P at Macomb which you do the entire class in one setting and is 6 credits mine was 4 credits with an A and 4 credits with a B+ which would normally average as an A- and you think they would transfer that way but nope...same with 5 credit Micro with a separate lab (that is if the Counselor was correct) She got 3.625... when she did the calculation and I got 3.781.. so I guess the lesson here is that they REALLY want you to take ALL of your Nursing Pre-Reqs at Macomb.. I will have to wait and see in the end of April...oh and I also wish I could have kept my 90.4 on the HESI rather than having them round down to just a 90...every little bit helps :)

I really hope everyone posting on this thread gets in! No matter what happens don't stop trying to reach your goal. Everything happens for a reason...trust me I know. I got accepted into a tough nursing program Fall of 2013. Out of hundreds of applicants they only accepted 40 for the Fall and I ranked #7. I was so happy and nervous. My first quarter was filled with so much stress and anxiety not only because of school, but because I had to figure out who was going to drop off and pick up my kids from school and who was going to be babysitting my 3 year old at the time. The program I was accepted into is accelerated compared to other schools and pretty much crammed insane amounts of info into our heads. Clinicals were overwhelming for me because I had never experienced working in a hospital setting before, yet I was thrown into a patient's room my very FIRST day of clinical. I was not expecting that at all since I was a brand new nursing student. I kind of understand the method my instructor used of throwing us in to learn faster but, at the time, I was completely overwhelmed. I felt like we were tested before we were taught lol. Anyways, i ended up passing everything with flying colors EXCEPT one class which I failed by 1%!!! (passing is 84%).. After all that I went through I was beyond upset! I got my grade one day before my daughter's 4th birthday! I honestly forced myself to be happy and cheerful for her party and for the holidays that followed! It was so hard and for awhile I didn't know if I wanted to continue on with my goal of becoming a nurse. Well, I decided to not let this defeat me and decided to come back to Macomb in January 2014. I took intro to nursing and microbiology (it didn't transfer so had to take it again). I'm hoping to make it in this Fall with a 4.0 and 92 HESI. All 3 of my kids will be in full time school this Fall (my youngest is 5 now and will be in kindergarten) so if I make it into the program I won't have to worry about asking my family to take care of her. I really believe that what's meant to be will be. I was so depressed at first but after some time and thought, I decided that I'm happy I was able to learn from that experience. Good luck to all of you!!!

With those scores @abej823 you are DEFINITELY a top contender!! And that coupled with your past experience in Nursing school you will be fine.. plus now it may be a tad bit easier (not much but slightly easier) now that your children are all of school age.... I wish you all the best in your endeavor!! You got this!! :laugh:
