I took the liberty to open a new thread for FALL 2015 students! Please share information as to where you are with your pre-reqs, where you take them and any useful tips (professors, campuses, exams, etc.)
I am an older student changing my career. Having Bachelor of Business Administration and 10+ years of experience, the decision to go back to school was not easy. But, here I am.
Applying to Fall 2015 Accelerated Nursing ASN program at MDC. My GenEd classes have been met with higher degree. I need to take:
Chem 1 with Lab
A&P1 with Lab
A&P 2 with Lab
Dep2000
Microbiology
I am starting with just 1 class, to get myself acclamated and not too overwhelemed. Taking A&P1 with lab at MDC North campus with Prof. Lesly and Prof. Kenny.
If all goes well I will take A&P2 with Lab, Chem and Dep2000 in the Spring and Micro in the Summer.
what is everyone's GPA so far? or what will be the expected cumulative and science GPA if you all know. I was looking at the Spring 2015 forum and a lot of people got accepted from there....congrats to them!
Mine is a 3.18 cumulative and 3.53 science. Although I have an AA and when I did the degree audit for the AS Generic the GPA that it shows there for science is different (slightly lower), but I'm not sure why. I have to ask an advisor about that because I have mostly A's and a couple B's.
Hi guys I'm planning on applying as well for Mdc fall 2015. I'm currently taking micro in the Kendall campus and so far it's the hardest class I'm taking this semester. I'm taking also intro to healthcare, anatomy 2 and lab and micro lab, very hard as well. I currently work at a medical office and my gpa overall it's 3.05 I already have an AA so my science gpa it's combined with my other sciences courses for my pre med major that I changed. As far as the natural sciences for nursing I've gotten A's in all of them. So idk how my chances will be. Fingers crossed. Good luck everyone!!
Hi All, Glad there is some activity here I am currently taking AP1 and lab at North and getting As in both. I wanted to take micro next semester, but advisor told me Chemistry 1033 is a pre-requisite for that.
Idee I will be taking anatomy 1 and 2 with the Maria Cendon and Pino. Thank you for the recomendation. I will be taking both classes with labs at the same time. It will be a crazy semestre.
Good luck!!!! Does anyone recommend an especially great microbiology lab professor? It's not required for entrance into the nursing program, but since I'm done with my pre-req's and need classes for the spring I'm on the lookout for mcb lab!
