MDC Miami Dade College Nursing Fall 2021

Published

It's never too early to start the discussion....

Anyone else preparing to apply to the Nursing program at MDC by May 1, for a Fall 2021 start date? Which tracks? TEAS test plans?

Wait they sent acceptance emails out?

Yeah someone on this thread got their acceptance email on 4/30

The only people that have gotten accepted so far from everything that is reported here and in TEAS groups are those people who had ALL prereqs done in December 2020, at the end of fall semester. This seems to be a very small group of people that got their confirmation. I don’t know of one person who finished their prereqs in Spring that has gotten an email yet. 
 

For everyone else, this is most likely is going to happen in the middle of June, at least for the first wave of acceptance letters.

I was wondering why only students that hold a Bachelors can apply for the accelerated program. There’s no difference in courses for both programs, just that the course sequence is much more intense. I applied for both Generic FT and Accelerated program, hoping that I’ll get accepted to one of them. Do any of you know anyone that’s completed the Accelerated program/or is enrolled currently? That first semester looks crazy.

Yes?

You were able to apply for the accelerated program without a bachelor?

Your Bachelors degree has to be on your transcript to apply - so no, you cannot apply without one. 
 

The Accelerated program has a lot of classes start in the first semester and carry over to the second, so it’s not all 21 credit hours finishing at once. But it’s still a lot to learn in a little bit of time!

Probably nothing more than giving incentive to people to stay at MDC rather than go into an accelerated program elsewhere. I believe FIU’s Accelerated program is a lot quicker than MDC (maybe only three semesters?) but it’s also incredibly competitive. Other schools also usually take a semester or so off when comparing the generic versus accelerated. Nova might be two semesters less?

Yeah, I can see that now.

FIU programs (Accelerated and Generic) are both the quickest nursing programs I’ve seen. Completed in only 3-5 semesters. Like you said, very competitive — per their website, they only admit 60(accelerated)-100(generic) students annually. I looked into it, but I don’t have the perfect grades to even bother trying.

I did consider NOVAs Accelerated program, but then I learned it’s located in Fort Myers. A shame because their program is 4 semesters long. Their regular Entry to BSN is 7 semesters, like MDCs if we include the time for both ASN and RN-BSN program. To save money and time commuting, I’m hoping to be accepted into MDCs program.

 

Do you know if MDCs Generic FT option has a semester break in their course sequence?

From what I’ve been able to read, as long as you pass your NCLEX within the first semester (or even prior to the semester starting), you do a seamless transition directly into the BSN. So it should still end up 7 semester (2 years 3 months) if you go straight through.

Yeah, I spoke with someone from MDC and was told that right before we complete the ASN program, we are able to apply for the RN-BSN program. They informed me that we would be provisionally admitted pending the completion of the ASN degree and our nursing license. I just forgot to ask her if we get a semester break during our time in the program.

The website doesn't clarify, but if we start in Fall 2021, that means our last ASN semester would be Fall 2022. The BSN program only starts with incoming groups in Fall and Spring, so if they gave us a semester break in between, you'd be in Summer 2022 - when there seems to be no group starting. I would think we just continue straight through. Not sure what the class starting Spring 2022 would do, though, as they would have the issue of beginning in Summer. 

Hope that makes sense ?
