MDC Nursing spring 2014

Hello everyone!

As it seems everyone is, I'm a nervous wreck! Lol

Scheduled to take Teas August 28 and I feel I've forgotten

everything from A&P and Chemistry so I'm busy refreshing.

I'm a bit confused after reading the thread. A couple of comments

indicated that the accelerated option was only 1 semester (4 months)

less that the Generic Full Time. I was under the impression

that Generic Full Time was 2 full years long. Can someone please

clarify?

Took my TEAS today, overall competitive score is an 80 ( TEAS 75.3, Science GPA 3.52). Hoping for the best and wishing everyone good luck!

@asegura8 Thanks and good luck to you too :) I can't wait to know. This waiting is a pain.

@Eb0220

The Generic Full-Time is 4 semesters while the Accelerated Option is 3 semesters.

Medical Center Campus - Nursing Department

In other words, I believe the accelerated is 1 year while the generic FT is a year and 4 months. I believe the program that is 2 years is the Generic Part-Time.

@AriesTwin... Once you've received your provisional acceptance letter, the school gives you one week to accept or decline your seat. If you choose to accept, along with the provisional form, you will be asked to put down a $100 deposit. No, I did not attend the orientation. The orientation is scheduled approximately 3 to 4 weeks after you have received the letter. I do hope to see in January. Are you applying to the Accelerated program?

@JenesaRenae

Yes I applied to the accelerated program. Your score is amazing and hopefully everything is settled in your life. I'm sure we will see each other come January!

Ugh just took the practice test from ATI and I got a 72% which is the same I got on the actual test in April!!! I've been studying my both off and apparently it isn't working. Any suggestions?

@dcepero you took the online test or the book? Because the online version hard. I think harder than the actual test. I'm using the ATI book & the McGraw Hill,& online.

@candy2 I wish I would've given myself more time to study, crammed for 3 weeks. I studied of the actual TEAS V practice book I got through Amazon. I focused mostly on math and science since I know they are my weaker subjects. For math, know how to convert decimals to percentages and vice Vera. Also know how to solve equations and inequalities and basic math multiplication, division,subtracr

tion and addition. For science, know your Chemistry. Know difference between ionic and covalent bonds, subliminaltion, condensation, evaporation etc. Also how to balance chemical equations. I believe miri posted on page 4 or so on this topic. She gave a pretty good summary on what to review. Good luck!

@dcepero

Don't rest. Keep doing those practice tests and review your wrong answers. They help tremendously. When I would look back at my wrong answers, I realized that I would get the same type of problems wrong. Figure out your pattern and work on it. Good luck!!!

I was talking to some peers and they suggested applying to multiple nursing programs if I wasn't sure I was getting into MDC (of course I'm not sure, I'm a mess!)

Is anyone applying to multiple nursing schools? And if so, which schools?

Anyone have any suggestions on the matter?
