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?

I'm in AO, how is everyone studying for their first exam in fundamentals?

Do you need to get a ID badge beforehand if you have clinical at Villa Maria?

What was the average score your group had to get in the spring program

Hi!

I'm applying to the nursing program in MDC.

I have not taken the HESI A2 yet but I would like to know what sections were the hardest for some of you.

Any advice on how to study would be appreciated!

and what is the average GPA that gets accepted into the program?

I think is 3.5 gpa. I am first semester generic full time and I had a friend that was accepted in the program with 71 on the hesi but 4 gpa so I think gpa is the most important thing. I also have a friend that she applied for the fall she said that the most difficult part of the hesi was quemistry, Good luck and enjoy your life now that you can

The vocab was pretty much most of the words in the HESI study book, and it helps to know general vocab.

The hardest for me was the Chemistry and the reading, everything else was easy. Just study extra on the weak subjects and make sure to memorize the mestric and household conversions, even after the HESI is over, you will need it very shortly after, trust me on that.

We have a group for fall 2016 if you want to join that and go along the journey with us!

Hey guys can someone tell me what the schedule is like for the generic full time? I applied for fall got an 83 on the hesi and have a 3.3 science gpa. Do you guys think I'm in? Please let me know what the schedule is like so I can have an idea thank you!

The schedule is how you choose it, however there are 5 classes in total. It's important to memorize the metric system and household measurements now while you have time, so you can focus on the other stuff.

And freshen up on anatomy and physiology as well.

I am curious also. Do you guys have classes Monday thru Friday? 8am to 4pm? or is it every other day with clinicals?

thank you
