you take a HESI exam for each class...fundies, medsurg, peds, etc. accounting for a percentage of your grade for the respective class. At first, it counted as a meager 5%, but since the students werent taking it seriously, they then raised it to 25% of your grade, so it is like a test score. The HESI exit exam is cumulative and its a MUST PASS during your leadership semester.
Hi everyone. I just graduated from MDC nursing generic program. I have books that I am selling as well as uniforms for clinicals (white top) as well as the regular green ones (small). If anyone is interested please let me know :)
Congratulations!!! I guess we will be interested upon receiving the famous acceptance letter:)
There is also a Hesi subject exam every semester. 1st semester is Fundamentals Hesi, worth 15% of the grade. You need to have gotten over 93 points in all exams to avoid having to pass the Hesi in order to not fail the class.
I loved the Homestead campus. I really really thought it was great. I'm not sure if they do it the same way, but they base on in your address. I believe anyone on SW 24 st or south of that will attend Homestead campus. It's much more tight-knit over there. You will really get to know all of your classmates and the staff is incredible. Not to mention the parking is great, traffic is never an issue, and we have a larger simulation lab (dummies where you practice your skills). We also have less students (50 generic full time compared to 150 generic full time at medical...plus the part time, accelerated, etc.) so the materials are usually in better shape. But maybe I'm biased :)
I also have uniforms (XS) tops...3 green class tops and 5 white clinical tops (2 are the ones from the school and 3 are grey's anatomy) that I would like to sell. I also have a lot of other general supplies that I won't be needing and that I plan on selling so contact me once you all get your acceptance letters!
I also want to inform you all of the grading scale.....93-100% is an A...anything less than a 77% is failing. I don't know of any other schools that use this grading scale. It's nice to know this ahead of time instead of the first day of class!

Yeah this grading scale its something very particular of nursing schools, so people may not be familiar that the minimum passing grade is really high.
Thank you for the information. Yes, this grading scale will be something new for us. Let me see if understood, if you get an A (more than 93) you don't have to take the HESI.
You need to take the Hesi exam anyway but if you get 0% you still passing the class with C , if you get a good grade in the final exam. The Hesi is taken a week before the final exam. This is from one of my last semester classes, advance med surge lecture .
I'm very interested in the uniforms. Can you PM me? I wear XS…...I've heard good things about the homestead campus, but I think they'll probably be sending me to medical cause i'm closer, but I wouldn't mind attending the homestead one, pretty sure traffic is much better heading in that direction anyway….I don't know if we're able to do that, request another campus.
I know some homestead students transferred to medical campus after failing a class in homestead and requesting a different professor. I'm sure they can switch you to homestead but it might take some effort.
