MDC RN part-time program

I will also be applying to the PT program. Im keeping my FT job...I live on my own and I will also be paying out of pocket for school. I met with an advisor at the medical campus and she said the it is two evenings a week plus one day of clinicals. I believe it's like 5:00pm-10:00pm, clinicals I'm not sure though...anyone out there with more info?

Im taking A&P I with the lab in the fall and II in January...when are you applying?

GPA 3.09 (im taking extra classes to raise that)

I guess I also would like to know if its harder to get in the PT program? Im freaking out with my GPA at the moment...

Hello. FutureRN, just to let you know, When you apply for nursing school, they will be looking at your GPA for pre-reqs. It really doesn't help to take other classes that aren't required in hopes of raising your GPA. The people choosing who gets accepted are not going to be looking at anything exept pre-req grades. A common misconception is that some people think they can get a C in Chemistry but then get an A in Sexual Dynamics or Phychology and that it will somehow balance out. That just isn't true.

The only thing I know about PT is that it isn't offered in Homestead and the full time track takes 2 years, PT takes 3 1/2.

Best of luck to you both!!

Hello,

One thing you should consider about the part-time track is that it is only offered once per year, every spring. I do not think that it is any harder/easier to get into this option. Just keep in mind, like another poster mentioned, that the GPA for the science courses are very important. I got accepted into both the bridge and generic option with a 3.26 GPA, not the best, but I made all A's and a few B's in my science courses which I am sure helped out a lot.

Classes are all day sat from 7-4 and fundamental theory lecture on one evening during week

I hear ya on the gpa..so far I have A's in sciences except for one B in Chem Lab... does this include all pre-reqs like CLP and ENC? or just specifically Chem, Anatomy, Micro and Labs..?

Thanks ! for all of you who replied. :nuke:

It includes ALL of your pre-reqs. CLP, ENC, PHI, and all sciences and labs. I have an AA and I fixing to start nursing school and gain my AS. All the classes I took for pre-reqs for nursing school are compiled in a separate GPA than all the classes that I took for my AA. Even if your not working on a AA, if you were to take Sociology (which isn't required for nursing) It would start you a whole new GPA in an AA category. Therefore, I have 2 separate GPA's.... 1 is for AA, the other for AS.

ugh this is teribble news for me. I have a C in PHI and 2 F's in CLP (back when CLP was PPE1005). I took those courses years ago before I even thought about a nursing career. I just applied to BCC to take CLP as a transient student. ENC 1 I have an A.

My selected degree is an AA in Nursing.. now I understand that "program gpa" which is at 2.94 (im guessing its the CLP F's)

Im thinking PHI and CLP repeats/fails from years ago may ruin my chances...am I doomed?

So far though..no repeats on sciences and A's in them...

I wouldn't say your doomed.... what pre-reqs do you have left to finish?

And your right about the "program GPA"...That transfers into your NURSING GPA.... That "program GPA" is what the selection committee

will be looking at. And that is the reason it is so low because of the F's

just when i thought i was finally starting to advance

here is all the stuff ive taken over the years

also, i was told by an advisor @ the medical campus that if you have an aa you are exempt from spc and clp? im still taking the clp to replace the f..but has anyone else heard that as well?

sorry in advance for the long post...im out of my wits here...this is kinda therapeutic for me lol
