Motlow 2019 applicants

Published

Hello (: my name is Kyla

Just wondering if anybody else is applying to MSCC's 2019 nursing program? The application opens up in a couple of weeks and I have been pretty nervous...I have never applied to a nursing program before and I hear that it is pretty competitive. If anybody would like to share their experience(s) that would be awesome!

I'm also planning to apply at motlow. Does anyone know how competitive is the program there?

I am not sure how competitive it is, but MTSU is extremely competitive so I imagine Motlow is as well. Do you know if there is anywhere you can see updates to your application? Like quality points, etc? I applied a couple of weeks ago and submitted my HESI scores but did not receive any sort of confirmation. I did speak to someone last week who said they don't collect your GPA until the end of the semester.

Yay! :D

I don't know where you can see updates about your application.

I haven't applied to the program yet. I just applied to the school, as soon as I am admitted I will start with the application process for the nursing program. I also still need to take the hesi test. It doesn't look like there's any spots left for me to take the hesi at motlow, I might need to take the test somewhere else and then submit the results/points to motlow.

How was the test? Did you think it was hard? I also planning to apply to Nashville State CC,and I but they ask for TEAS test.

Did anyone here take the TEAS and/or HESI and could talk a little about the differences in both tests?

Oh and good luck with your application!!! :) Let me know if you find out more about the application updates!! :)

I've honestly never heard of the TEAS so I have no idea what that consists of. I took the HESI at MTSU last month and it wasn't as bad as I expected. I'm sort of bummed that Motlow doesn't look at chem or bio though because those were some of my highest subjects. It's been a couple of years since I took a&p so I wish I would have studied but it was pretty general. There is a lot of vocab/grammar/reading/math but I promise it wasn't bad at all. I would definitely suggest reviewing before taking it though! And good luck on your application, too!! It is going to be tough waiting until April ):

Can one take the Hesi test at MTSU without being a student there? If so, I should look into how to sign up for it.

Are you applying to any other schools?

Initially I wanted to apply to Cumberland University, because it is so close to where I live, but the tuition is so expensive, so I don't think I will apply there anymore. MTSU asks for 2 classes that I haven't taken "College Algebra" and "Microbiology in Disease", and honestly I really don't want to take any extra classes (I already took regular Microbiology and Statistics, but they won't accept them at MTSU). So for now, I plan to apply to Motlow and NSCC.

I am reviewing some of the A&P and Math before I take the Hesi, so we will see. I am not that great in Math. ugh lol

Yes, it's going to be a long wait! :)

I'm probably going to apply to MTSU as well but I don't have micro in disease either. I have taken the regular micro class though (which I hear is more difficult so I think it's silly that they do not accept it). And I looked into Cumberland as well but as soon as I saw the tuition I changed my mind! So it will probably just be those two schools for me. And yes you can take the HESI at MTSU even if you aren't a student there. And don't worry about the math! It wasn't bad. I think there was some basic algebra, lots of conversions, fractions, ratios, dimensional analysis, decimals, etc, but a lot of it is stuff you use on a daily basis so I am sure you'll do fine!! Definitley try to find some HESI vocab flashcards on quizlet because there were several terms on there I had never heard of.

Thank you so much for the tips on the Hesi. We don't have to take the "Chemistry" part of the test for motlow do we?

I have the Hesi study guide, but it's the 3RD EDITION, I know they have a newer version (4th edition), I wonder if I'll be ok with the 3rd or if I should get the newer version. I'm using other methods for studying too ( a&p, YouTube videos). I just want to make sure I'm studying the right topics for each subject, but also I don't want to spend $40 for the 4th edition book, if it's pretty much the same as the 3rd edition.

What books did you use to prepare for the test? Did you use any apps?

:)

Good luck at MTSU, I know they have a great nursing program. ( I went to one of their info sessions)

No problem!! And I bought a Kaplan book and briefly went through it but didn't have much time to study. I doubt getting a newer addition would make much of a difference because from my understanding the topics and general content is the same. I also hear that the app called pocketprep is really good but I think you have to pay for it. And, no, you do not need to be tested on biology or chemistry for Motlow, but I did anyways just in case. When are you planning on taking it??
