Miami Dade College Spring 2016 nursing program admission

Updated:   Published

Good morning/night to all who are reading this,

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?

As long as it hasn't expired by the time you start, I wouldn't say why not? Then post the new one when you receive it.

I went to the medical center and they had it. It was such a hassle, thank goodness though ?

That's awesome! I would've been so livid though due to the disorganization! I'm glad you got to pick it up.

Here is another post saying this school suddenly closed.

Dade Medical College

And this one about low NCLEX pass rates in some Florida nursing schools.

Licensing Exam Failure Rate Rises In Florida

Dade Medical is listed as 18% NCLEX pass rate. Not sure how this was calculated if it was inclusive of all 6 campuses. One campus (Hollywood)had 6 pass with 40 fail in 2013/2014, for a 13% NCLEX pass rate. Miami Lakes had 44 % pass rate which is the highest listed for 6 campuses if I am reading the tables correctly.

Here is a link to a TV report on the sudden closing of all 6 campuses.

Yayyyyy!, thanks to this thread I was ahead of the game l, thanks guys : )

I'm at orientation. i need to take my clinical on Thursday. Why does the schedule they gave us only show clinicals on Friday?

OK, how dare they tell us "this side of the room needs to pick this schedule". I need to pick the schedule that best goes with my work schedule or else I will lose my job. How the hell do they think they could get away with telling us that?
