I created this post in the hopes that all applicants applying for the nursing program at Miami dade submit their experience they have had so far and also submit any questions they might have. I'm currently applying for the accelerated option but would like to hear what others are doing in the part time and generic option. A little about me is that I have a BSN in health science (2014) and have taken all the prerequisites with the exception of A&P 2 (which I am retaking in summer b June 22).
Right now my biggest concern is the hesi a2 exam we have to take and making sure i ace it because my science gpa is not so hot right now. I have read prior posts and it seems like A&P is the most challenging section. Has anyone taken it as yet? Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Also I'm worried that after they evaluate my degree they might not take my science subjects and make me re do them ?? . Has any one's transcript been evaluated yet?
Lol Hope5 I was there today(at 3) and took the Hesi. Unfortunately I did see a girl that got in the 60's and was told to retake. There was a small amount of people there.
I got an 84.88 and have a 3.48 gpa, The reading section was what messed my score up. I got my lowest in reading, everything else was sorta basic, although pretty much NOTHING I studied was on the test. I was sick as a dog to.
We both have the same overall score hopefully we both get in, but no one really knows how they accept students cause hesi matters as well as gpa you might have this score and a student with a 3.0 and 75 on the hesi gets accepted
Naw, I've spoken to the main advisor twice. According to her the computer picks the top 100 seats and no human input is added, however I've read this entire thread and saw that they would let the reading be the deciding factor between students that are neck and neck, but I'm not sure.
I have an overall of 84.4(gpa+hesi), Tbh they told me if you have a 3.0 you would need like 100 to get in. Even with my 3.4 they made it seem like I would need an 88+, but I guess they never anticipated the scores would be so low?
I just looked at the class average in each subject and I'm seeing avg's as low as 68 maybe even lower. It does bug me that they extended the deadline, since I could've had another 2weeks of study had they done it from the start and I am worried higher scores will come in by then. Idk (Ends Rant)
Lotzofmula welcome!!! You did good don't worry and don't believed everything you hear or read people love to deceived specially with hesi results:sarcastic:. Numbers count and with the class average I think we a have a good chance. But I am very angry too becuase they extended the deadline and they didn't bother to send emaiI to all the applicants I can retake the hesi I actually did the app but they mess up everything god help us!!!
I don't think a computer do it cause it's the nursing school committee that pick the students but I might be wrong. I just wish the deadline was not extended cause that means we have to wait longer for acceptance and gives less time to get our paper work once we get accepted
Then they will have good readers, newspaper readers?. They are loosing the accreditation because each year less graduated pass the board. I am considering Larking Hospital, FIU, NOVA also. MDC is getting a business profile, most of prerequisites the professors split the chapters between us and we made the classes, we construct the method and the matters. they almost do not teach us, they just pointed to the chapter, and give us a lot of paper to do, we are self educated. And now they are picking good readers.
Yeah I'm worried too about ppl getting higher scores. I mean I'm happy for them, but still I'm scared also. But then I see the scores on evolve and how low they're so idk
Hey everyone. Quick question: Which classes are used to calculate the science gpa? Not sure if math is included or what.
Oh also how many seats are there for this spring? I remember hearing that something like 600 people apply each semester across all the programs (Pt, generic, accelerated).
