I just wanted to start a thread for people interested in the MDC nursing program for fall 2012. I think if you shared your scores (TEAS V & GPA) and what track your applying to (full-time or part-time), it will give everyone an idea of where they stand.
I will start:
I have a 3.7 GPA and an 81% on the TEAS and looking to apply for the part-time program. I have the option of taking the TEAS 2 more times which I will be doing :)
@Canelaw99 Did you do the Student Self-Assessment? That's supposed to be done as well.
@unatalcynthia I have Thomas for fundamentals and we are supposed to cover Ch. 28 the first day. The topics she has listed on the syllabus are Principles of Asepsis and Protective Precautions.
I wanted to know if anyone can tell me times of fulltime and partime, I work from 8 to 5pm monday thru friday and I wanted to more or less know the times so I can decide what option works best for me and my family. Thanks in advance!
not sure about ft or pt...I am in the accelerated(M-F 7-11am lect/skills lab-depending on professors and clinicals 7-2pm tues and wed)..there is bridge (lpn-rn)online program...
There is no "on-line" option for nursing at MDC. In full time, classes fall between 8 am (start) and near 6 pm (end); off-site clinicals generally start at 7 am. Aside from that, classes have a habit of moving around. It will be different each semester. If you're going to work, it had better be part-time or over night, and be very flexible.
I don't know about part-time. You can go on the MDC Nursing Web site to find the list of classes you'd take each semester, and a couple of months before class starts, you'll be able to find the class schedules on-line. ( Miami Dade College Student Portal, then click on "Search for Classes." You don't need to log in to do it.)
The part-time lecture classes are generally from 6:00pm to about 8:30 ish once a week. The clinicals should be on Saturdays and they start at 7:00 am and last until 2:30ish.
Sometimes the Saturday clinicals go quickly, and only the clinicals during the week are offered which may be on Thursday or Friday from 7:00 until 2:30ish.
Ideally, one would have a work schedule that would allow you to change the days quickly on those occasions that one must come in during normal business work hours.
I heard through the grapevine that Broward College has an online program where you come in for clinicals. I would not recommend doing lectures totally online though unless you are sure you can study this way.
All I know its a Miami Dade edition, it says Human Anatomy and Physiology. I can send you my email and if you could take a picture of the book and send it to me. Thanks
