MDC Nursing Spring 2017

Published

Hi,

I just took the Hesi entrance exam last week and I am about to apply to Miami Dade College for the Spring 2017 generic full time program. The deadline is September 1 so I am sure there are more than a few people that have applied or are getting ready to apply. I have not seen a forum as yet for spring 2017. I would like to hear from people who are applying for spring 2017.

I cant think about it anymore, although its like the only thing on my mind.... I have so many questions and I'm like just impatient to find out my schedule for next year. I hope I will be in school but if I'm not I need to be on some amazing adventures lol.... either way it will be great but I would love to know which it is. This is just mean spirited lol!!!

Haha that sounds like a good back up plan. For me, I turned 27 this year and I feel really behind career wise cuz a lot of my friends are already nurses. I made it a goal that I'd have my career before 30, so I'm hoping it turns out to be the case.

About a week ago or so I read on the Spring 2016 forum they received the first wave of letters Thursday Oct 19th. The second and third wave come every other week. Hopefully we should start to see something this week!

Was anyone aware that the application deadline was extended beyond Sept 1st? I called the medical campus earlier to try and find out when we can expect acceptance emails and the advisor said that they are still selecting because the deadline was extended. Did anyone here apply after September 1?

I don't know for how long they extended it but they did that last year since they didn't have enough applicants (i.e. money) yet. Kinda sucks for all us who went nutts getting our stuff in on time, but thus is the dade way :sniff:

Anyone needs me i'll be dying

I'm in the currently in the Accelerated Option program that started January of this year, 2016. The schedule varies from semester to semester. But the first semester (January to June), you should expect to be in class at least 3 days a week from 8am-12pm. There will be days where you could have class until very late in the afternoon around 5pm. The other two days, you will have clinicals from 7am to 3pm.

The classes are extremely fast paced. I put in at least 4-6 hours of studying at least 5 days a week for the first semester. As the program progressed and we stopped taking more than one class at a time, I changed my study habits.

If you're thinking about working in AO, I would strongly discourage this for the first semester. Once you get the hang of balancing studying and exams, you can explore that. The classmates that do work in the program have very irregular hours, nothing structured. Hope I could help ;)

Thank you for the information! Greatly appreciate it. I was planning on looking for a part-time job, but it definitely is a great idea to first balance out my studying and exams before.

Do you know how many people were accepted for the AO?

Thanks again!
