Hi! I was wondering if anyone was planning on applying to the ADN program at Jackson Community College in May for fall of 2011. I am just finishing up one pre-requisite and I have to take the HESI exam in May and then fill out the application with ...

Thanks for all of the helpful information! I will probably just be content with the later lab time. I am just going to accept that I will be a busy person for a couple of months and just stay on top of everything and not get behind. We leave for v...

Hi Mully, Thanks for the encouragement! I am nervous about the first 8 weeks. I am a brand new student to JCC, so its been a lot of work just to get everything organized for the first week of classes. I didn't even realize I had to attend new stude...

I was so surprised when I saw that letter, I couldn't believe it myself! It didn't seem real until I sent the paperwork back in the mail stating I will attend in the fall. Congratulations to your friends who go in! It will be interesting to know mo...

Thank you very much MICHRNTOB! It has been a long journey and I am just excited to finally get accepted! My friend just graduated from the accelerated BSN program at EMU and she liked their program. Good luck to you too!!

Yes I do recognize you too!!!! I was excited too, couldn't believe it really. I believe I was talking to you on the Madonna discussion board since I was going to apply there too.

I got my acceptance letter into JCC for fall 2011!

Hi! I was wondering if anyone was applying to Eastern Michigan's Accelerated BSN program in May 2011 to start in the fall of 2011?

Hi Thomas, Your suggestions are very helpful! Thanks for posting them!

I hope I do!!! I have worked so hard on pre-requisites for the past few years, it has taken me so long it seems like. Thanks for all of your helpful information!

I tried for EMU for fall of 2009 and I was an alternate, there was only 2 of us who didn't get off the list. I kind of took a break from school and worked as a nursing assistant for awhile. I'm looking into other schools. I took 3 pre-requisites a...

I talked to the testing person at Madonna and she said scores are good for 2 years, so I took the TEAS IV in spring of 2009 and I got in the 80s, however, I took the TEAS V in June and only got a 76.77 overall. I thought it was a little harder this ...

I saw online that EMU has some information sessions in July, so I am going to try to attend one since I haven't been to one since 2008. I saw on the 2007 points criteria sheet that you got points for any of the science pre-requisites done at EMU, so...

Congratulations on your acceptance! I am thinking of applying next year. Its been a couple of years since I have been to an information session, so I am thinking of going to one this summer. I know they have a point system, but I was just curious ...

I would have gotten full points for the TEAS, points for healthcare experience, and I took 3 pre-requisities at EMU. Where I lost points was for the A & P sequence, I had to count a B and re-taking it wouldn't have made much of a difference sinc...

Congratulations on your acceptance letter!!! I ended up not applying this year. I just didn't think I had enough points to be competitive. Do you by any chance know how many points a person needed to have to be competitive?

Yeah I am thinking of checking out LCC too. They changed their point system a little bit which I think helps students out. I took some pre-requisites there too. I just needed to take Pharmacology and then I could apply for their accelerated ADN pr...

Hi! The HESI went good! The review book helped with the math and english components. The HESI isn't really timed either. I hope a miracle hapens and I have a chance to get into JCC with my point total, but I won't be surprised if I don't though. ...

I thought the TEAS 5 was a little harder for me than the TEAS 4. I agree with you about getting the 80, I actually was a little shy of getting the overall grade of an 80. The science portion hurt me because it was a lot of general chem and bio and ...

Hi! Does anyone know what scores on the TEAS are expected? I know some schools just had cut off scores, but Madonna didn't say anything about scores would be competitive enough. I know they use other criteria when looking at applicants, but I just wa...

I am taking it on June 7th at Schoolcraft College. Madonna's testing person said I could transfer the score in. I wanted to take it at Schoolcraft because I needed it for their waitlist which is a few year wait. I just wanted a backup plan just in...

Hi! Have you taken the TEAS V test? I have the study book, but just wondered what you thought of the test.

Thanks for the encouragement anne11! I just wish I would have read over the point system more before I applied. My point total was really less than the 85 or 90 pts. I even told the advisor that my point total was low. Her response back to me was...

I kind of figured I needed that many points to be competitive. You are right they did change the point system a little bit, and I think I would have gotten more with the old system. Plus I lost points in Area III because I had a W. I should have r...

Hi! I just filled out the application today with the advisor and I am taking the HESI in a couple of weeks. Do you know how many points you need to be competitive? I was just curious. The advisor really wouldn't say. Does fall semester start in ...
