MDC Nursing Fall 2017

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:

I think you multiply your grade (4 for A, 3 for B, 2 for C, 1 for D) by the number of credits the class is because lab is one credit and the lectures are 4 credits. Then at the end you divide your total by the total number of credits.

The science GPA is based on A&P 1 and lab, A&P 2 and lab, Chm1033 and lab, and microbiology (lecture only). You can use this tool to help you calculate your GPA: GPA Calculator - Advisement and Career Services - Miami Dade College.

So far everything has been going good. The program keeps you busy but it is not impossible. Most of the teachers I have I can tell are really freaking good. They are very helpful but they do expect you to study. They will only hold your hand for so long.

As far as the schedule go, I have school every day except Thursday. On Monday I have to be at school pretty much the whole day. On Friday I have clinicals and I have to stay at the nursing home the whole day. Tuesday and Wednesday I only have school for a couple of hours.

Hello,

I am so glad you are giving very positive feedback on the full time generic program. Do you attend medical campus or Homestead? What is the schedule like if you dont mind? Do classes start as early as 8:00 am? Reason I ask is because both campuses are equally far and that would mean early mornings for me...

My fundamental class starts at 8:00 am as well as the skills class. They are on two separate days. The clinicals start at 7:00 am. I go to the medical campus. Sorry but waking up early is part of this program lol.

Wow...okay this really helps. I appreciate this so much because I drop off my kids at school and I may have to consider applying for the part time track. Your awesome! Thank you í ½í¸ƒ

hey guys quick question, I'm taking my HESI this Saturday, for those of you who have taken it, do they allow calculators in the math portion?

There is a pop up calculator built in to the test that you can use.

Hi guys just took my HESI today and got a 96%!!! Woohoo I was a nervous wreck. Also, Science GPA currently a 4.0. I'm hopeful I'll get in with these grades/score..How strict are they on the accelerated option as opposed to general? Is it worth it? Anything else I should know?
