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?
Here is another post saying this school suddenly closed.
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.

I was a little baffled as well. Luckily I it still had a decent schedule. Man was my leg cramping tho

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