Congrats to you guys. Welcome to the Pineapple

Ab, The question about your class in which you received a W is probably best answered by an advisor. As far as the Micro lab, you do need it to graduate, however it is NOT factored into your GPA for admission. Hope this helps!

You're looking for the Potter Perry 7th edition Fundamentals book? Have another look, there are plenty of listings for less than 10 bucks!

Eracne, That message goes out when there is something that comes up on the background check that needs further clarification; don't worry about it too much, if you know that you don't have anything to hide, everything will come out in the wash and yo...

Sure Hip, lemme PM you.

I went over in person. Apparently my e-mail address was recorded with an @mdc.edu on the end instead of a @mymdc.net . I went over to see an advisor, the problem was corrected, and I got my e-mail within a couple of hours. Again, I'm not saying that ...

Hey Studybudy, You lose nothing by calling or going to ask about your status. When I was supposed to receive my acceptance e-mail, I waited 3 days, and it turned out they had my e-mail address down wrong. I don't want to give you false hope and say t...

Congrats to everyone that got in!!! Again, to those still waiting...hope is not lost. Don't count yourself out yet. @Merlina...be VERY happy you're getting new uniforms. The ones we have now are pretty rough. As far as books, hit up Amazon and Half.c...

Cane, Well the program I'm actually in is the Baptist Scholars Program, so I while I was originally assigned there I don't attend Homestead Campus. However, from the folks who do go there, I've heard good things. I have been there a couple of times a...

Hey folks, I know it can be worrisome thinking about how much you have to get done in a short amount of time after acceptance, but you should have at least 3 weeks to get everything done, depending on which program you're accepted to. The only thing ...

MJL, lemme see what I can do. I'll PM you!

Sorry folks! Didn't mean to take so long to get back to you all...summer semester ain't no joke! Canelaw, I don't think there's anything wrong with verifying that all of your paperwork is in correctly. I don't know how much room you would have to fix...

Hey everyone, congrats on your application process! I know that waiting is torture, I've been there...TWICE (got in for Fall, couldn't accept and re-applied for Spring). Both times, the wait was approximately 6 weeks. I knew this and still checked my...

I'm doing my ADN right now through MDC also, so I can't speak to which school is best for a BSN from personal experience. However, you've got a good head on your shoulders to start your additional pre-reqs! Some that I know are common to multiple sch...

Hey Yisy, things are good here! So far, not dead yet :w00t:

Natalia, my experience might differ a bit from the type of experience you'd have as a transfer student, so my recommendation would be to message a user on here named On Eagles Wings . She's very helpful and is currently in her second semester at MDC,...

Sure thing! MJL, I understand about the advisors. Contrary to what you'll hear from many people, I think the advisors are great over there. Unfortunately, they a lot of students have expectations of them that they just can't fulfill, so I tried not t...

Hey folks, glad to hear you're applying. I'm in my first semester in the Generic Fulltime program at MDC now. Looking at your scores, I would say you're in a good position to be accepted for both programs, however the cutoff always changes from semes...

The Baptist Scholars Program IS still in existence, as of Spring 2012. It's offered for MDC students starting the ADN fulltime generic program (no accelerated, no part-time, no transitional) in the Spring Semester only, not fall. Baptist also offers ...

Ximena did make quite a few exaggerated generalizations, and while Miami is the worst job market in the country, and isn't for everyone, your experience will largely be what you make of it.

ADN is the Associate Degree in Nursing, a 2 year degree; BSN is the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, a 4 year degree. Sitting for the NCLEX, the exam that certifies you as an RN, only requires you to have an ADN. Many nurses pursue this degree (becaus...

I'd say the courses are fairly challenging; you'll need to put time and effort into not only getting an A, but making sure you internalize the knowledge, because some of it will pop up later in your nursing education and career. I took a few classes ...

Agreed, it's very disappointing to be rejected from the program, but we still have a lot of work ahead of us, and now isn't the time to get discouraged. We will all go on to become great nurses, it's just not going to be at Baptist right now. There i...

Awesome, way to go Jael!!!

I haven't had an issue, but I know a lot of people at my orientation were having issues with the background check, and they said there was a backlog. I know that all documentation is supposed to be submitted/cleared by Monday 12/5, but I suppose they...
