If you're going to MATC, I would take all your theory classes online. The instructors read from the powerpoints for 3 hours and then test you on the material in the powerpoints, readings from the text books or random things that you will have NO idea...

Nursing 106 at MATC is such a pain in the *s#! I don't understand why need almost an entire semester of L/D, post par, and pregnancy. It looks more and more like I'm going to have to take this class over again. Sucks because, I hear how HARD 3rd seme...
You didn't pass either? I don't think i'm going to either but i'm going to keep trying. I have 2 tests left and i'm already 3% behind and really struggling. In our program, if you fail two classes you're out of the program. So I'm a little worried t...
I know what you mean about quiting! I'm at a 77% in my RN, L&D, postpartum, women's health class with only 2 more exams to make it up otherwise I have to take it over again. I have never felt low self esteem like I have in nursing school. IT'S AW...
I'm in the 2nd semester of my RN program and we have to take an entire semester of L&D, postpartum and women's health. I need an 80% to pass and have a 77%. We have 2 more tests left so I could still possibly pass but it's going to be REAL tough....

i would definitely get your prerequisites done first, or at least as many as you can before going into or applying to a university bsn program. your science classes are soo much cheaper at a community college like matc or wctc. and, if you have a des...

i'm going to the information session on april 1st. i have all my pre-reqs and electives done, i am hoping they will allow me to enter as a sophomore. i was also wondering if they have an accelerated program, 2 years would be even better. i'm suppose ...
Thanks for all the info guys! I guess I just have to lick this fear of public speaking. This has been something I've avoided all my life and iit really is time to face it. I'm not sure where it comes from?? Maybe my childhood, or just really low self...
For those RN students who have already finished their program or nearing the end of their program, did you have to do many class presentations? I start Nursing school in the fall and I'm totally petrified of class presentations. I know every school i...
oh wow! i’m sorry. i know what you mean about the lack of support from the counselors. i completely gave up on them awhile back. the last time i went up there was in november to see if i could talk to someone higher up in the department because i ke...
yeah, it’s great for finishing a&p’s and micro. it certainly is cheaper. honestly, that’s the only reason i wanted to go to matc’s rn program, because it’s cheap. but, i guess that’s what you get is a cheap education. i’ve moved on now and was ac...
Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the advice and experience and think i'm going to take patho and pharm this semester for my BSN but still apply to the 2 year program. If I don't get in again, well I'll be going into the BSN program. And, If I do get...
I recently finished all the pre requisites (Science's and Gen Ed classes) at a local community college that also has a 2-year RN program. I applied to the program for January 2009 and was not accepted into the program. After talking to my advisor, sh...
