MDC Nursing spring 2014

Published

So I'm starting the post for Spring 2014. I'm currently waiting for my acceptance letter for fall term but just in case applying for spring is my back up plan.

So my GPA is 3.0 and my teas is 72 giving me a score around 73.

Since I didn't get a first round email for fall I'm thinking of retaking my teas test so if anyone is willing to study with me please let me know. Good luck to everyone applying for spring!!

@candy2 i did the test on the ATI website!

Hi all. Im new to the site. I just applied for the spring full time generic program I took my TEAS on Friday. My science GPA is 4.0 and I got a 86.7 on the TEAS. I am fairly confident but still nervous with the waiting. I used an app for studying for the TEAS.. McGraw Hill has an app. It's 9.99 but well worth it.

You have a great TEAS score and obviously a perfect GPA. I am positive you will get into whichever program you chose.:)

@angied74 awesome GPA and great score!

I'm excited for us all. I can't wait until we start finding out whether we get in or not :o

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?

If you want to start now in Spring(Winter) 2014 you could apply to:

1. Broward College :

http://www.broward.edu/academics/programs/nursing/Pages/NursingFAQs.aspx

(The closest campus is in Pembroke Pines)-->Dont know how far that class is from you. The requirements are slightly different from MDC.
