Mountain View College Nursing Fall '17

Published

Hello everyone!

Just trying to see if there's anyone out there applying to Mountain View College (Dallas, TX) nursing program and if so have you gotten an email back for an interview?! I did, and I'm a little nervous! I hope I get in. I've been trying for years now to get on the nursing track and I finally feel like I may finally have a real shot! Good luck to all you nursing majors out there!

My email was from the dean, Mrs. Shultz.

Personal. I called and left a voicemail and emailed and she responded in email saying she was out ill and would send out notifications when she got back. Hopefully I just get a late acceptance if not oh well. I'll keep trying elsewhere.

Did she send it to your personal email or school email. :)

You answered my question! DiDi Don't worry about it too much. Just find something to keep yourself busy. Let us know when you hear anything. Congrats to everyone who has been selected!

Does anybody know which program is better El Centro or MVC?

El Centro is under warning status with the Board of Nursing. I called to see what that meant and TBON said not many of their students are passing the NCLEX I have friends who have gone there and they said the instructors are horrible. I'd go to MVC for sure.

What Buttercup said! I was told they're on warning. They've been around the longest but from what I hear the instructors aren't as great as they used to be. MVC I hear is a great program, but I've heard pros and cons on both schools. I'd maybe search through some articles here on both and see what current or alumni students say on both of them. and no, I still haven't heard anything. One student told me they probably weren't pleased with my answer of working part time while In the program. While it would be great to not have to at all, I support myself and my 7 month old. I don't have a choice. I hope they are looking at me as an alternate and possibly waiting to hear some say they chose elsewhere to see if me and others (who haven't heard back yet) could have a spot. Just trying to stay positive about it all.

DiDi and other students! Please take my advice. Apply to other schools. Do not put all your hopes and dreams in one school. You won't regret it!

It wasn't a plan to apply to just one, the other schools on my list had other requirements that I just recently completed or will this summer. MVC wasn't even on the list. The Dean of nursing is my professor for pathophysiology and actually told me to apply. But next time around it'll definitely be all the ones on my list to apply.
