I am also applying for FIU-- I was accepted last year to MDC but for financial and personal reasons could not attend. :'( Who else will be applying to Generic FT? Please state what program you will be applying to!
I will be taking the TEAS sometime in March, in which I will also be taking the HESI A2 for FIU. So I might as well be studying for both, lol. Anybody taken the TEAS at MDC? Share your experiences here! :) I will be using a general book for nursing school entrance exams... it's by Barron... and I will be studying my math from a nursing calculation book, and my sciences from my anatomy, biology, and other notes. Is it true there is geology on the exam? How irrelevant... lol
I took the test by paying econoLabs and then went to Labcorp, but I haven't heard back from them yet. I am out of town this week but will contact them next week to find out when I get the results. I'll post back when I find out what's up.
I haven't heard back from econoLabs, but I'm out of town right now. I will find out what's up next week and report back if they sent the results by mail, etc.
I went today to the Medical Campus, and declined my spot in the Fulltime Generic Program for this fall.
Due to a family situation, I won't be able to attend nursing school (which is what you HAVE to dedicate) until this coming spring. So, I'll be reapplying for the Spring 2012 semester, and God willing, I will be accepted again and be able to start at that time.
So as much as it KILLED me to decline my spot, I am happy that one more person will be able to participate in the program this fall. I honestly hope it's one of you!!!
I also am very happy to that so many here have gotten in, and that the rest of us will have some eyes and ears going into the program!
I guess it's up to me to get the "MDC Spring 2012" thread going, right?
When I first read your post my reaction was, OMG!!! I totally understand your problem, and I respect your decision and your courage, because it takes a lot of power to go and reject a seat. Well, all I can say is good luck to you, and I will be praying for you, so you can be fine to start spring!!!!
I havent got my email yet, and I am crossing my fingers, but if I dont get in at this time, I will try again in the spring, so count on me for the ´MDC Spring 2012`thread LOL!!!!
I am also very happy for those that got in already!!!!
Hi everyone, first of all congrats to all that have been accepted to the nursing program. Unfortunately for me I have still not received anything yet and Im still waiting. I have a gpa of 4.0 and a teas score of 72 and it averages out to an 83.2. I just wanted to know what you guys think where I would fall on the list for the second round picks coming up and hopefully I get accepted!!
You have a great gpa! People have gotten in with high 80's TEAS and low 3.gpa's so hopefully you'll get in! If for some reason you don't, take the TEAS again before Sept 1 deadline for spring. I took it twice too...it was worth it though because my score went up 4 pts which made a huge difference since it's 60% of what they look at. Have faith you can do it! :)
Hey I just got this really cool thing in the mail. I think you guys should check it out. It's a nursing school planner. It has a ton of cool information for clinicals, study/test taking skills, and nursing dx. It also has online Evolve resources like spanish/english glossary and hourly time maps you can print out. It was like 17 bucks new on amazon.com. I love it!!!
just got my tb... should be going next week for the rest... what is everyone else up to?
I have to get the rubella titer again because I wasn't immune to it so I had to get the vaccination, wait a month and now get another titer. This lady wants to charge me $160 because she said she can't do the rubella titer individually. I'm going to try econolab and hopefully they can give me a better deal.
Oh and I have to get my 2nd tb. How much did yours cost because this lady is killin' me?

=/ the first thing i did was ask my Dr's medical assistant if my insurance covered that. It took a while to get an answer but my Dr is doing all of that for me except the drug test. And I am pretty sure they will do that one for me too if I keep asking, lol. But the Miami-Dade Health Dept. near the Medical Campus should offer it for cheap, no?
