Were you able to secure an apartment before you got there, or did you visit before and get it before the final move?

Actually, I'll be at the south campus, I might be on the north campus occasionally if I'm on call.

I'm from South Florida, and am planning on moving to Fargo late April. I'll be in the O.R.

I have the opportunity to choose between working as a circulator in a Level 1 trauma hospital's main O.R. (orientation 6 months) or their outpatient O.R. (orientation 3-4 months) I feel like the main O.R. would give me more knowledge, varied experien...

I found out last week I was denied as well.

Any news?

Ok, I'll let you know if I hear anything.

I was also given the impression that the decision would be made very soon. Sorry, I don't know how long the contract would be.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's been really hard not hearing anything. Hopefully we hear some good news soon. Did they indicate to you how soon they would have a decision?

Hi, I interviewed for the OR internship at JMH two weeks ago as well. I have not heard back...have you heard anything?

The trick definitely works. Took the test yesterday. Came home, tried the trick, and got the good pop-up. Looked on the BON website this morning and found out I passed!

It is possible to take two sciences together and get As in both of them. I took A&P 1 and Chemistry together and got As in both of them. I'm also currently in the 4th semester of the nursing program. I would say if you know you can handle it,...

The bare minimum that MDC will accept is 2.0, but you have to understand that there there are hundreds of students applying. Student selection is based almost entirely on GPA. So, if there are 100 students applying for 20 spots, the ones that have ...

I have a B.A. from a previous school, and I'm currently in the generic option. They only counted my science prereqs at MDC and one math class from my previous Bachelors. No other classes from my previous degree were taken into account to calculate ...

Congrats to all of you! Reading all your posts reminds me of last year. The ATI and critical thinking tests you take before starting are only diagnostic tools to assess your learning styles and how well you are at thinking critically. There's noth...

Yes, the summer schedule is posted up in the nursing dept. Unfortunately, the Jackson Scholars program is not for the accelerated option. But it doesn't really matter at this point, because the Jackson Scholars program has been suspended for the ti...

Yes, you need to take it, because you will need it in order to attend clinicals. You could take the class now, I guess to get it out of the way, because there are a lot of things you have to do in a short amount of time (immunizations, drug testing....

Yes, I'm currently in the program and when I applied last spring, I had just started taking Anatomy 2. And I took Microbiology + lab in the summer, while I was waiting to be accepted. A few of my classmates have taken or are taking microbiology wh...

30NCN, I got a big yellow envelope last year. But, I guess things are running a little latethis year. Have you guys gone to the information session yet, or are you still waiting to hear about that?

You're very welcome! Believe me, I know how you feel at this moment. I was where you are right now at this time last year.

I got the information session invite by email last year on May 15, and the actual acceptance letter by May 29th in the mail, if that helps anyone.

My GPA was 4.0, but I only had to do the science pre-reqs because I had a previous degree. Sorry, I don't know what the exact cutoff was for last year. But, I would say at 3.5 and above you have a good chance.

I'm currently a student in the generic program. But, last year I applied to the Accelerated as well as Generic, and we got our acceptance letters at the end of May, so you guys should know something pretty soon. But, I also remember the wait last y...

I'm going to have to agree about not buying the curriculum. I'm finishing up 2nd semester, and have never used it. They'll try and tell you that you need it, but don't bother. It will be a waste of 50 bucks.

I sort of went through the same thing. I already have a Bachelors in a completely unrelated field and decided to go back to school to get an ADN in nursing. Well, I did not qualify for any federal grants, only Stafford loans. And even to get the ...
