Hi CiaMia, I was wondering how much time typically would you spend after the 9-5 classes studying. Also are there breaks between semesters?

Thanks

At least a few hours week, I think -- maybe ~8-10?

There are breaks, yes! The most significant being in the winter.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I was also wondering is there a minimum grade needed for each class?

Yes, definitely -- I believe a passing grade was >78%. :)

From a syllabus.

So, your overall GPA has to be above a 2.7, and the minimum passing grade for any particular class is 78%.

Do you know when the school will post the book list? I found one from Sprint 2017. Do they change the textbooks often?

https://www.mcphs.edu/-/media/files/mcphs/sites/wwwmcphs/spring-next-steps/worman/wm_bsnbooklist.pdf?la=en this is the most recent book list I believe. I don't think they change too often, and I think I had one or two that were an edition behind and it was okay. Double check that in class though! :)

Thank you. For the calculations book. Did you go over the entire book during the first semester, or will the calculations be broken up in sections throughout the program?

There is med math and calculation exams throughout the program, though the book I think is used for N1 (first semester).
