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'm registered for it on 7/9 at med campus. Let me know if u register for it and maybe we can meet up right before. :)
On eagles wings, do u live in Kendall? Too bad we can't all take it together...oh well, let's definitely all get together for orientation. That was a great idea! :nurse:
Sounds good :) ill let you know friday so we can meet before we start taking classes together!
Oh ok thank you so much! I plan on taking Chemistry Lecture and Lab as well as Micro and Lab for Spring! I'm 19 and I don't work or have any MAJOR responsibilities so I think I'll be good?! I have straights A's in my Anatomy so hopefully it won't be problem? Thank you so much for all your help!

Well from what you've mentioned sounds like your on a great track. Keep up the great work and i'm sure you'll have no problem getting accepted :)
Apparently I haven't replied to a sufficient amount of posts to have email privileges!! The generic full time program will be completed by Fall 2012: 4 semesters, 18 months. As you mentioned, I would love to meet up and personally meet a few of my future classmates, as well as begin a study group so that we may get into the groove of things before classes actually begin. Message me your email so that I may send you my contact info. Congrats on getting in and speak to you soon!
Aghh ok thank you so much :) I thought I had to wait there for a minute for a half a year to apply for the Spring! & yes all my classes would be completed in MDC! Thank you so much! Btw quick question, did you take MCB2010 alone?
Hi Iemu, I suggest you take them together...you will need it eventually. Of all the lectures and labs, Micro was truly the only one that worked cohesively; they really supplemented one another. I had terrific teachers at North Campus, and enjoyed this class a lot. Not sure what campus you'll be attending but if at North, I suggest Okungbowa for lecture, and Clemente Fernandez for lab. Good luck!
Where did you guys get your TB skin tests? I am probably going to do the Varicella titer, MMR titer, and 5 panel drug test through LabCorps. For those who went already, do you recommend it?
Hey Megfig, Labcorp is terribly expensive. Not sure where you're located but Doctors 365 do the MMR titer for $60--student discount. Generally for Broward students but I gave them a call and they are extending it to Dade as well. Call any of your local clinics, a quick search of the yp, and you can find a bunch that charge considerably less than Labcorp. I did my physical and a 10 panel drug test for $40 in my neighborhood clinic. PPD's should cost you less than $20, anything more and they are seriously overpriced. If you opt for the HEP B vaccine, it should run you about $50 at the (Broward) health dept, other places will run you about $75. Shop around!
Hi! I have a question for you guys. I'll be applying for the Spring 1012 generic full time program. I'm done with my Pre-requisites already and also took the teas. However, I will have next fall empty and I was thinking of taking some of the Pre requisites for the bachelors program. But the question is...do you recommend to take 3 or 4 classes during the application process? I'm afraid that they might interfere later on when I'll have to do all the things that you all are doing now. What are your thought on this?
I'll really appreciate any advise. :)
Hi Yisy4u, definitely take classes toward your BA! If you completed an AA, you're more than halfway there. Take HUN1201, SYG2000, I believe you'll need an additional math class besides Sta. Anything you take now, will always benefit you later. If you've only completed an AS then get a move on....you'll need ENC1102, additional humanities and social sciences, Micro lab....do it, don't wait till after the program. My other suggestion is about your TEAS score...if you've scored above an 80, I can say you're safe (considering your GPA is respectable), if lower, you should consider retaking just to cement your chances and assure your efforts don't go to waste. Best of luck!!
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!!
Hey Bllanes, Amazing GPA.....well you're perfect!! If by the oddest, smallest, unlikeliest chance you're not accepted into the program, it gives you the opportunity to take additional BA classes in the fall and retake the TEAS test. Aim to get your score into the 80's. The TEAS score is worth 60% so that gives a slight advantage to those with better scores and a less than perfect GPA. If anything your entry has just been delayed not denied so to speak. Don't have your fall term go to waste, ie don't take it as a vacation. Forge ahead and complete classes you'll need anyway for your degree. Best of luck!
For those that have gotten in, I'm planning on purchasing a few books to get started (as suggested by nurse nacole on youtube): Clinical calculations, fundamentals of nursing, and a nursing diagnosis handbook. Please let me know if any of you are planning on getting any of these so that we may possibly get the same ones, and study together!

I agree! Fernandez is verrrrry saavy with Micro. He's also very helpful and loves to teach.
