Miami Dade Community College Nursing Students...

Hi, I am 2nd sem at MDC with a Baptist scholarship. I originally applied to accelerated but was shut out at the time due to administrative snafu. Now I am glad iit turned out like this because Baptist is great (& only 1 sem longer). In my program there are very few options for clinicals since the work is Baptist Health centered, however when I do psych (3rd sem) there are more options since Baptist has no psych dept. Good luck, you'll love it. It's hard & intense but very interesting & rewarding.

To check your options I recommend going to the admissions dept. at Med Campus & just looking at the schedules posted on the bulletin board. That's how I found out in advance of receiving documents at orientation.

Hello:) I read that you are got a scholarship through Baptist and I just wanted to ask you what the committee interview process was like with their board and what type of questions you were asked. I have submitted my application to them and I got a letter from them stating they had received my application and will call to notify me of my interview date and time .... I'm extremely nervous and would very much appreciate any feedback in regards to the interview process and their program. Thanks in advance for your reply!

hey, I went thru the interview for baptist scholars.

they will ask a few questions like:

Why di you choose nursing

Where do you see yourself in 5 yrs

What would you do if you saw another nurse mistreating a patient

Name a time when you handled a bad situation with a coworker successfully--

how would you handle a rude patient/ family member

good luck!

I was chosen and went thru the program. you can do a search for threads regarding the program

Thanks for the information, I appreciate it. What school did you get in through, Miami Dade? I'm waiting to get accepted from Baptist through Barry. What is your take on their program ... where they helpful? .... was it really hard?... etc. How long was your contract with Baptist for? If I get accepted I would have to sign a contract for 3 year ... it seems like a long time, but it's a good hospital.

hello everyone!

i need help, what is the difference between Nursing-R.N. (Generic) (Preselect) (A.S.) and the regular generic Nursing-RN?!

i am currently at BC but I don't want to be on the waiting list and i havent applied to MDC. im really interested in it. what do they look for?? and how do they determine your GPA? i know its alot of questions but im so lost! becasue for BC they averaged only the some of the pre-quisites of the classes you tok and not the overall GPA! it was so fustrating, i have 3.81 GPA. please help!

"what is the difference between Nursing-R.N. (Generic) (Preselect) (A.S.) and the regular generic Nursing-RN?!"

The first is the default "major" for pre-nursing, when you're taking nursing prerequisites for the ASN (associate degree in nursing). When you get into to the ASN program on the Medical Campus or Homestead, when you take actual nursing classes, you are then actually pursuing the ASN degree. The two-year track is the generic track. If you have a B.S. degree already, you can apply for the accelerated track. After you complete your ASN degree, you can sit for the NCLEX test, and if you pass, you will be a licensed RN.

As for the grading/testing for admissions, please see this post:
