Eek! My 8 week A&P class starts in 2 weeks. Here's to getting my fun in before my life comes to a halt for those two months!! :bookworm:

im currently taking the patho bio 8 week class now, im gonna have to retake it again in the fall :/. for me it was difficult because the class was so fast and so much to learn and remember, well i guess its a lesson learned for me not to take big classes like that in such a short time frame

Hi everyone, I'm so excited to be starting at Macomb this August, waiting anxiously to register in July! I have a little bit of health care experience, but not much, I'm planning on taking all four of my pre-reqs this fall. Hopefully this isn't a choice I'll regret later. I've had A&P at another school, but it doesn't carry over, hoping I can maintain the grades required to get into the nursing program next year! Please, any advice, study groups or anything to help, I'd appreciate it all! I've read a lot of the comments in this thread, and followed the anxiety ridden threads of the 2014 nursing at MCC, it makes me want it even more! Thanks in advance!!

Hi Jeanie!

That sounds like a huge course load for one semester, but I'm a firm believer that you get out of something whatever you put into it. Good luck to you. I look forward to continuing this thread and seeing where we all end up around application time :up:

Im so excited!!

p.s. I was actually incorrect about the length of my A&P class. It's 6 weeks, not 8. Yikes!!

I wasn't planning on applying til 2016 bt I decided to do it this feb. coming up just for the heck of it. I still need to take 2 classes which I am wanting to do in the fall. I have some questions in which maybe you all can answer?? Do you get penalized for transfers here? are you penalized if you retake a class?

GiveMeTheCoffee · Jul 1, 2014

Hello ParisH,

It is my understanding that if you do retake one of the four required courses, you will not be penalized for doing so. I also have successfully transferred my English and Psychology classes and was assured that as long as they were accepted, there would be no issue with them "counting". That said- my intro to nursing class did not transfer because Macomb has their own specific course so it has to be taken (or retaken) with them.

what classes do you need to take? Maybe we'll be classmates as I still have some pre-requisites to complete as well!

Best of luck!

Well as of right now I think I just have anatomy and the intro to nursing. .. I may have to do micro if mines won't transfer :/ but if I want to apply this February they would have to be in the same semester and that's scary lol.

Ok so im planning on attending macomb for nursing program. This may sound stupid but what classes do i need to take before applying to actual nursing program? Also do they have a Practical nursing degree(lpn) or just RN?
