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.
I'm taking the lab with Jacqueline Mayorga, she's good! I will be selling my a la carte Microbiology book if anyone is interested. I attend the Kendall campus and will be there in spring taking my last requirements. Left the easy classes for the end, taking Human Growth & Intro to healthcare online.
Hi guys I am applying for bridge program transitional overall 3.70 science 3.45. I'm taking my last two classes in spring 2015 which are mcb2010 and mac1105
Hi I'm looking for people who are applying into the accelerated program fall 2015. I see that in the website it says that overall cumulative GPA is 40% of acceptance and prereqs 60%.. My prereq GPA is really good but the gpa from my bachelors is 3.1 im worried about that..Any one been to an advisor and asked average of people accepted last semester or what is considered a competitive GPA?
Do not worry about your gpa from your previous bachelor. I asked once an adviser and she told me that doesn't count. I will be applying for the accelerate program fall 2015
What scares me the most is getting accepted and having to stop working! ? the schedules are all over the place for the nursing program so keeping a job is impossible I think

Depending on which program you enroll is the probability of having to work or not. If you enroll in the accelerated, or the full-time program you will most likely need flexibility with your work hours. We were warned of this during orientation, Clinical assignments can be cancelled or moved around, so you need flexibility.
Hi. No not doing the accelerated. I went to their open house last year and the students were telling me the AO was really intense. The difference is only 3 months. The Generic option takes 1 year and 3 months and the AO is one year.
I don't know of the advisors at the med. campus I've been to the advisors at Kendall but don't have one in particular.
I understood that generic full time is 4 semesters which is 2 years program( fall, spring, fall, spring)
And Accelrated program is 3 semester ( fall, spring, summer) so it can be 1 year program.

Is this correct?
The Fulltime is 4 semesters including Summer. ( Fall, Spring, Summer,Fall) It comes to be around a year and a half. The Accelerated is just 3 semesters, which comes to be just 1 year. In my opinion the stress is not worth 1 less semester, but for each their own.
