  1. Macomb Community College Info

    AmberWirth replied to m0mOf7's topic in School, College Programs

    The schedule works like this: for the first 8 weeks, you have four fundamental classes. After that, all lecture classes are 4 weeks and all clinical rotations are 8 weeks. So while it looks like a...

  2. Macomb Community College Info

    AmberWirth replied to m0mOf7's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi! I'm just about at the end of my first year of MCC's program, so I'll take a stab at a few of your queries. Firstly, nursing students do have summers off! The nursing program is set up a bit...

    AmberWirth posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all! I noticed that we don't yet have a forum for prospective nursing students for Macomb Community College's 2021 application season. Hopefully this can be a place for all of us to talk about the...

    I was wondering if we were going to hear from you. Congratulations on getting in! Looking forward to meeting

    That's awesome that you have options! I've heard that alternates usually have a decent chance of ending up in the program, so I'm rooting for ya. Do you still have to attend the

    Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. Does anybody know how they decide start dates? Is it solely based on ranking, or are there other factors

    AmberWirth replied to AmberWirth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It seems like they're keeping rankings close to the chest (for now anyways). I'm dying to know what my # is, but I don't think they're releasing that info until start dates are assigned. What I...

    I just got my acceptance letter! You guys, this is so unbelievably exciting, and I cannot wait to "meet" you at orientation in a few weeks. Congratulations to all who made it. Also, in order to...

    Oh my gosh - that's great news! Thanks for sharing. I'm pretty optimistic about my chances, but the wait is still killing me. Good luck to

    I'm not sure who might need to hear this - but if any of you are 25+ AND do not have a prior degree (Associates or Bachelor's), look into the new bipartisan "Michigan Reconnect" law recently signed by...

    @Kembowchemistry @Katiek414 The waiting is so hard! I can't believe we have three whole months until we find out. Sending good vibes to everyone on this board. Here's hoping the pool is a bit smaller...

    AmberWirth replied to AmberWirth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This board got very quiet all of a sudden. I hope that's not because of low scores on the TEAS. How did everyone

    AmberWirth replied to AmberWirth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @Kembowchemistry I wondered if it was just me! It actually really made me angry because by the time I reached the English section, I had to use it so badly that I rushed through that section....

    @KayD808 Good luck! One word of advice: use the bathroom beforehand. I thought were were supposed to get a break between the math and science sections, but I was never offered

    AmberWirth replied to AmberWirth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @janel2586 I was basically in the same boat. I graduated high school in 2002 and was so lost on math when I started studying for the TEAS. Are you going to try again next year or look for another...

    AmberWirth replied to AmberWirth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that was the most nerve-racking thing about this application cycle - not having previous TEAS scores to go off of. Not knowing what score was good enough to get in made me extra nervous. The...

    AmberWirth replied to AmberWirth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've heard a rumor from a good source that there are indeed far fewer students applying this year. Again, just a rumor so take with a grain of salt. The waiting is the WORST. I'm reasonably...

    AmberWirth replied to AmberWirth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry to hear that. It was a tough exam, for sure. If you're going to try again next year, maybe you could take MATH 0070 at the campus? I think that's the class that goes over all of the math...

    AmberWirth replied to AmberWirth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Macomb only looks at the cumulative score, with a cutoff of 70%. I believe you can score lower than that on any one individual subject, but the cumulative must be above 70. Good luck on the...

    Hi Shirley, ATI makes us sign a non-disclosure before we can take the exam, so I'm afraid I can't clue you in to individual topics on my test, but I think focusing on reading and science...

    AmberWirth replied to AmberWirth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Best of luck to you! I was a nervous wreck for about a week before my exam, so I get it. It's very straightforward, though, so if you put in an honest study effort, you will likely do

    AmberWirth replied to AmberWirth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My notes from A&P were one of my best resources for the science portion, but I'd also advise not to neglect the physical sciences. Go back and review basic physics, Chemistry, and cell biology if...

    AmberWirth replied to AmberWirth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I have nothing to compare to because I've never taken the HESI, but I know that the nationwide average for the TEAS is much lower than HESI. I think the national average is somewhere around 65%....

    I took the TEAS on December 15th. The November and December sessions have passed, so I think there's only a handful of people who need to take it in
