4. MCC Nursing Program Compass Test

   Lilacs For Mom replied to UnicornMomx3's topic in Missouri

   Yep, your score won't matter. I had taken college algebra 20 yrs ago. I did not pass that section on the compass. Since I already had the class with a C or higher I did not have to take any additional math. Sounds like you will be fine.

   Lilacs For Mom replied to UnicornMomx3's topic in Missouri

   I just finished my first semester. I had a great experience. Yes, there is little issues but, I agree those are present in every program. As the previous poster said each semester is a little bit different. Prior to receiving class, clinical, virtual...

   Just be ready to hit the ground running! There really isn't any way not to be overwhelmed. There is a ton of material and as soon as you think you have things figured out they throw something new at you. As far as working, only you can say what you a...

    Lilacs For Mom replied to ErikMcGrath's topic in School Programs

    Hey Erik- Saw your post but I wasn't sure which Penn Valley program you are referring to? There are several schools across the country that have the name Penny Valley. What state is your program in?

11. Graceland University

    Lilacs For Mom replied to hooliebug's topic in Missouri

    Yep, I was there. How about you? Did you decide to stick with the ADN program? Looks like we lost our DON and now have an interim. Maybe that will be good for the program???

12. Graceland University

    Lilacs For Mom replied to hooliebug's topic in Missouri
