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?
I think you are confused. I never mentioned classes from different semesters. You don't have to follow what they divided you into, but you still need to register in one of the 2 sequences. Look I am not gonna sit here and explain how it works, thats what orientation was for.
All I am saying is get used to getting all your classes from the same sequence ( there is 2 sequences for the fulltime generic, one for AO, and one for Partime, I think homestead students only have 1 sequence for the fulltime) You need this because if you pick and choose from different sequences, you will have a schedule conflict.
Just register and good luck on your first semester. Word of of advise, buy the Green HESI Book.
This is correct guys! You really shouldn't pick classes outside of the sequence, they told you the exact same thing on orientation. On the green paper they gave us you can see your sequence (Top right corner). They clearly said that if you do not follow the sequence you will have issues with your classes. I have to change my availability at work to accommodate the classes. You need to set your priorities guys ? if you applied to the nursing program is because you want to be a nurse right? So unless you are already working as a nurse at a hospital, I recommend you start thinking about putting school first. BTW yes, I do have car payments, rent, gas, food, and bills overall. You are not longer in high school or pre-select, you are already studying and if you cannot follow instructions you will not make it as a healtn care provider. Come on guys you can kill someone! Change your availability at work, and if you can't, start looking for a different part-time job that is more flexible with the hours and availability. If work was so important or necessary, you should have applied for part-time instead. Picking any classes could also affect us, the ones following the given sequence.

When they said that...??? When you talk sequence it's the order of the classes like you have to take fundamentals and stuff on the first semester but as far as the professors they gave us on that paper we do not have to pick those professors cause when you class search you get a lot of different options

Thanks for looking out Eru, are you already a student? If do you have any tips on the most difficult things to look out for, or atleast what you believe most students found difficult? Thanks

I am finishing my 3rd semester in the FT program. I recommend to learn your fundamentals good, it comes to bite your butt later on. On the 2nd semester the hardest class is Pharmacology, lots of information to memorize. Oh on that topic, dont memorize the information, try to comprehend it; except for Pharm , that one is pure memorization.
On the 3rd semester you will have an easier time, is just 1 class at a time, with the clinical to go with it. You take a class for 1 month, then the next, and so on.
4th semester is a pain , you get hard a hard class, the exit HESI to study for, and looooong clinical rotations.

Any other questions feel free to ask.
Are they strict on uniform? Can we buy extra set elsewhere that is cheaper?
Any recommendation for stethoscope brand?
Does it matter the site of clinical? Or the professor matters more?
Any other tips to survive the program would be greatly appreciated!!!
Stethoscope is hands down Littman. I love my Littman! It is on the pricey side, but think of it as an investment. It was gifted to me when I was in LPN school, and I continue to use it at work.

Which littmann are you using??? I've heard about the classic, lightweight, and cardiology

Honey read the paper again! She clearly said don't jump and start picking classing from the other side or there will be issues with the schedule. She said this while the papers were being passed around. Maybe you missed that? Grap the green paper and look at the top right corner. What you are taking about is the semester sequence. And of course you are gonna see more classes! If there are 2 sequences and you look for the course you'll get about double the courses don't you think? Simple HESI question
