MCI Student RN Program

Published

i need some advice from people who have completed all of the three prereq for the rn program at mci... if you have is it hard taking all three prereq's in one semester? based on the school and professors there? do they take you at fast pace?

help! :no:

After my test he walked my letters of recommendation, my test scores, and my unofficial transcripts (I brought them with me) to the DON and came back in the office and threw the interview questionnaire into the trash and said, "She said a second interview is not needed." I have no problem going to the interview if I get the call, but I'm just saying what happened and what he said. The reps want us to get into the program and graduate - they don't get their bonus unless we graduate.

I'm applying for the day program at VB.

By the way, I know tone is so hard to interpret in messages like these so I hope that my tone is not being misinterpreted as being confrontational or defensive. I'm just saying what my experience has been and what I hope to achieve.

No you are just letting me know what is going on. I was wondering if both campuses have the same DON and follow the same guidelines? This waiting is driving me crazy.:banghead:

SO I just found out that the VB and NN campus each has their own DON. This explains alot.

Yes, I had my interview before Thanksgiving break. I hear that there is less than 30 applications for the January start of evenings at NN.

That's great...I heard (thru the grapevine) that more applicants are trying to get into days than nights. I should have my interview beginning of January when I'm almost finished with my Chem class. Good luck to you!!!

When you normally apply at VB campus, there are 3 interviews. The 1st inteview is with your rep, the second is with the rep's "boss" (not really sure of the title) and the 3rd is with the DON/ADON. Everyone interviews with the DON or ADON. The interview is usually in Dec or beginning of January. I know of noone in any of the classes before mine or since that did not interview with the DON/ADON. Also, you may have a student nurse conducting the interview with the DON/ADON since it can be part of the diminisions class. Just want you to be prepared.

NN is pretty much saying the same thing, provided they did the rest of the interviews over the holidays!!! Hoping to hear something soon!!!
