Miami Dade College Fall 2015 RN Program

Published

Hey guys,

I figured I should share what I know about the Fall 2015 application so far.

So far this is what I know:

  1. Spring 2015 students do not need an entrance exam - let's see if they keep it this way for Fall 2015 applicants
  2. There will be a mandatory SOS Pre Nursing Bootcamp that will need to be attended upon acceptance to the program.
  3. I called advising today (7/7/14) the receptionist said I should start applying in January, but I'll confirm that once again before then.
  4. 60% sciences and 40% cumulative GPA is still the criteria as far as we know.

I figured this should be a great place for us to share our anxiety about our apps and build some friendships :).

Unless I am blind, I do not see HESI book on the list...

Which books come with NCLEX questions? Is there an app that is worth downloading on your phone and use it when you have spare minutes?

Do I need to get the med surg book for the first semester or can I wait till the 2nd?

Almost every class has a Hesi exam for it. Its usually worth 15% of your grade. If you fail the exam you will most likely fail the class.

You dont need any online codes for the main textbooks. The only textbooks i would recommend to buy with access codes are those that come with NCLEX practice questions online ( totally worth it). So go ahead and rent your textbooks, it will save you a lot of money in the long run. For Med Surg do buy the book since you will use it for 2 different semesters.

Note of caution, dont listen to people who say to keep the previous classes textbooks, you will not have enough time to go back to them to reference them during your next semester. Besides the new book you will use , will have all the information you need.

Can I get the med surg book in the 2nd semester? or do I need it for the 1st?
