Marah: I am now in the MDC nursing program at Baptist and I scored an 82% on my TEAS. My GPA overall was 3.06 but I think they only count your science GPA, which I'm not exactly sure about mine. Anyway, I wanted to encourage you to apply with the score you have because it is a great score! When I took the TEAS, most people were in the 60-70s in % so getting in the 80s is good. Just wanted to help out :)

Those might be the titles of the chapters? Try looking through the books but if no luck, email the professor that sent it to you.

Jesse, I think you do because when you register for the classes and than you go to "view books" on the current students page, all of the books are there for the classes you registered. All of the ones on that yellow paper they gave us are seen under "view books" I hope this helps.

Navy- I have the panel interview this afternoon at 330. I wish you the best tomorrow with the interview, don't be nervous! No matter how it goes down, you are STILL in the nursing program which was a big success in itself.

I turned in my paperwork at orientation, the only thing I was missing was the background check which I went yesterday to do, and the 2nd MMR. They said at the orientation that they understood it was a short time frame for everyone to bring in their paperwork so thats why they allowed us to register for the classes now. We need to have everything completely turned in before the first day of classes or our classes will get dropped. Thats what I understood from the orientation.

Thanks! I actually went today for the assessment and a bunch of us hadn't been updated in our degrees so thats why I couldn't register. Everything is cleared up now and I'm registered and ready to go! By the way, I wanted to tell you guys that I heard a lot of people had very high GPA's but that doesn't necessarily mean you need to have a high GPA. My overall was a 3.06 and my sciences were all B's. I'm not sure how they calculated it all but I did get an 81% on the TEAS, so that is a very important test to get into the program, so I would recommend getting a really good grade on it.

Hi everyone, I got accepted into the Generic program SPring 2011. I went to the orientation yesterday. I was wondering if anyone else is having problems registering for classes?

Hi everyone, I got accepted into the Spring term 2011 at MDC Generic FT program! Finally!! They were faster than Nova! I still haven't heard from Nova and I applied in April!! Anyway I was wondering how long the MDC FT program is since it states on the website 2 years but some people say it's a year to a year and half. I'm gonna stop working so I'm trying to plan my budget for the next year or so....

Hi Everyone, I applied for the Spring 2011 FT program at MDC. Please let me know of anything you guys hear on the process. Anything helps! Thanks

I can't find information on BSN program at the BC website, Do you guys know if it's an entry level program, or do you have to already have your RN?

Good advice giggles. I'm going to do that and see how it goes for me.. Thanks :)

Hi giggles! No I haven't done that, do you think I should? I used to do that a lot before I turned in my application so I didn't think about making an appointment afterwards.

I deferred my app for winter but i still havent received an answer. I hope everything goes well for all of us..

I called to defer my app on Monday, but I still haven't received any news.... I hope I get in 

I clicked on my email link to defer to winter but something told me to call and make sure, so I did and it turned out I wasn't deferred yet even though I had clicked it 4 days prior on the email. Anyway name edited by moderator deferred me over the phone so please call to make sure you were actually deferred!!

HOORAY GIGGLES!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!! I bet you feel so excited!! Congrats Shark Nurse to be! 

I received the email to defer to Winter 2011!! Atleast it's not a denial...yet! I'm still very hopeful so let's see how it goes! I'm still praying for everyone because I know it's a tough waiting game. Let me know if anyone gets accepted for the Winter!

I spoke to Ashely and she explained to me that the fall term is full and the applicants who have not heard anything should be receiving an email stating that they have an option to withdraw their app or defer it to next term and if they choose to defer to spring, than our application will go to the top of the list for review. She said that the people who were accepted for the fall have next week to make their decisions with their deposits so if any seats open for the fall, nova will go back to their applicant pool for the fall. This is what she explained to me so I'm going to continue to stay positive about nova. Too bad more waiting though

I'll call Tuesday since i'm pretty sure that Monday they are closed for the holiday. I'll let you know what they tell me!

Thanks so much Giggles :) awesome Information! I haven't got anything new either. I saw that notice about Nova being closed on my VIP page too. If we try calling, do you think they will give us an answer finally? I just wanna hear it already... Even if it's "No."

lindalove: Thanks for the positive thinking about the Spring term... I feel a little better! I registered for 3 classes this fall at MDC anyway because i'm assuming I was denied and it wouldn't hurt my GPA. I'll re-apply as soon as Nova allows me to and i'll send the 3 final classes in December. I'm praying for all of us because I know it's a long journey for everyone, accepted or not. Just keep on going forward no matter what :)

Well, I haven't heard anything from Nova, so I'm gonna assume that my denial letter is on its way to my mail box pretty soon... I guess I'll have to go another round for next semester

I keep looking at my email and none of the new ones are from Nova, I keep checking my phones (house and cell) nothing from Nova, I keep checking my mailbox, NOTHING FROM NOVA! I'm starting to feel like they misplaced my information even though they say they got it...lol Patience is so hard!!

Does anyone know if the VIP status changes when you get denied? I heard of it changing when you get accepted, but i'm still pending and i'm worried worried worried!!! When does the committee meet anyways? I know it's not every day.

Kathy525: I got worried yesterday as well because I received a letter in the mail stating the same thing so I called and they told me to disregard the letter because my application was complete and for review. Than around 7pm I received an email like yours and I got more worried, so this morning I called Ashely and she called me right back and explained that the email had been sent to many applicants but it was more as a reminder in case you are pending documents. She said it's more automated email and looked up my file on the computer and told me not to worry because everything was in and by the end of the month the decisions would be made. I'm trying to be as patient as possible... only a couple weeks left in June!!
