Mdc fall 2015 - welcome!

U.S.A. Florida

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.

How about you??

What about bridge transitional? How long if I start August

No idea, but you can check online. All programs will include summer as part of their numbered semesters.

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.

OH. Thank you so much for explaining.

It might be stressful. But as an older person, I am so eager to graduate as soon as possible! haha

Specializes in Surgical transplant.

I recommend the open house they're having at medical campus. MDC has been sending out emails about the open house. I went to it last year, and you get to speak with advisors, visit the labs, speak with students (which is where you get the most crucial information) that is how I decided NOT to do the accelerated program.

Some students were going through it at the time and were telling me the stress was too much for just a difference of pretty much 3 months.

It'd be good to check it out, you'd get lots of great info at the open house.

I haven't received any emails about it. Do you mind sharing the info and if we have to register for it?

We just had our first Fundamentals exam.(Generic FT) it was fair, a bunch of knowledge based questions, some application ones.

Honestly if you pay attention and read the book you will be fine. We will get the results next week, I hope they are not horrible.
