MDC Nursing Fall 2017

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hi everyone! I just wanted to start a thread for applicants of the nursing program at Miami Dade College for Fall term 2017. I'm currently working on my last prerequisites and will be finished this semester. I plan on taking the HESI A2 in January and applying for the Generic and Part time tracks. :laugh:

Anyone planning on working while in school?

Still working Fulll- Time and will be doing online bridge. By God's grace.

SMH. It's sad a lot of places don't really help you when you are trying to go back to school. I'm considering switching to weekends only when I start. I currently work in the mornings from 8-430. The only other shifts there are overnight 12-830a, afternoon 4p-1230a, and weekends 9-530p or 4-1230a. I am considering doing the morning shifts on the weekends while i can. I signed up with nrsng to review pharm and med surge. I wish I would've found this website sooner. They break everything down much simpler than nursing school did. Don't think i need much of a review in fundamentals. I am just Ready to get the show on the road. then finish my prereqs for the BSN, finish that and then go to FIU ARNP program.

I agree! I have a 95 cumulative score. I'm so ready to know if I have been accepted or not. I applied for the generic full-time option. I want to become a L&D nurse. I have a BA already, so after completing the ADN program, I would only need to complete Micro lab. I will then be officially done with all prereqs required for entry into a BSN program.

This was my plan originally. I do much better learning on my own. My best friend started the bridge spring. I was doing my micro class and would sit in on her study groups and several of the students had friends in the online class that regretted taking it and failed out. Supposedly there is less guidance and more work. Also you don't have the ability to fight for questions on tests and earn extra credit points. I honestly don't like classroom settings. We shall see.

I know there will be some challenges , but I like online classes the only thing is you have to be more focus on studying and you don't have to go to classes everyday. I am taking the bridge it takes off one semester so am grateful for that.

You go!!! I have been an LPN for 10 years already. I got into nursing to do pediatrics and after doing the rotation, i changed my mind. I couldn't stop crying. I love kids and my heart is just too soft for it. I worked at UM for 2 years and started my pre-reqs back then and my nurse manager was such a witch, She wouldn't give me half a day to go to school. I worked 4 days a week 10 + hours and also on fridays to help out OT and because I was cheaper than getting agency she gave me a hard time. I ended up quitting but I missed a semester and just didn't go back until I had my son last year. For the last 8+ years I have been in the field of drug addiction. 6 years in detox and almost 3 years in rehab. I'm currently the nurse manager at the rehab, and I absolutely love my job. I've been working alongside the ARNP there and decided that I want to become a psych ARNP ultimately. I plan on doing the DNP so I have a long way to go. When I'm done I'll be 36. Lol. Not too shabby.

In reference to acceptance letters. I checked the previous year 2016 forum. First acceptance letter went out on June 9th. So I set a countdown to start checking my emails daily on June 6th.

I love kids but i prefer to work with geriatric patients, it breaks my heart to see children in trachs,pegs, colostomy,etc. I love nursing its my passion and i really enjoy what i do.:) The acceptance letters will be rolling in soon before we know it.

I'm planning to work part-time. I currently work at a hotel 5 days a week, but once I get into the program I'll probably go down to 3-4 days a week.I've applied to the full time program so I'm praying that my school schedule and work schedule will allow time for me to study.
