Spring 2018 MDC Nursing Program

Published

My journey started from cna, lpn now,I applied for spring 2018 nursing bridge program. I am looking forward to what it has to offer and the challenges ahead. Anything is possible if you work hard and be persistence in reaching every goal you set for yourself. Always keep a positive mind.

Hi everyone! I am so excited!!! I got accepted to the nursing program!! I need help though! I applied to both the accelerated and generic full term and was accepted to both and I'm not sure which one to accept. A brief history:

I have been a veterinary technician for 20 years and I do everything: catheters, bloodwork, radiology, dentals, surgery, drug dosages...everything. I know the accelerated program is intense and will be difficult but I'm hoping my 20 years experience in the veterinary world will make it a little less difficult...? I also have my bachelors in psychology and an associate in biology. Last thing, I am fortunate enough to not have to pay rent so will be quitting Work completely once I begin the nursing program and will be able to give school 100% of my time and energy.

So my question to everyone here is which program should I apply for???!! I'm really stressing out about the decision after reading other posts about the accelerated program!! Thanks to everyone in advance!

It's really up to you and your work ethic. Do you have any kids or a husband? You say you don't have to pay rent but what about other bills? I don't pay rent either but the few bills I do have and paying for tuition does stress me out. From previous threads some say the extra semester in the generic does help. Since you do have medical background I think you will do great in whatever you decide.

2 other people on this thread asked about generic vs AO. When in doubt you can always pick the easiest just to play safe.

No kids, no pets, no husband, no boyfriend lol aka no distractions! Also money isn't an issue as I've saved enough For the entire program and to cover my bills and living for a year. Just want to make sure I don't bite off more than I can chew! í ½í¸­

It seems like you have everything together and taken care of. I would talk to someone thats doing the program now or finish if you are still worried about the workload. Best of luck

@Christine2281: Based on your circumstances it seems like you will be able to handle the AO.

@LMB79: I know it has been a while since you posted, so I'm not sure if you already made up your mind. Nevertheless, I would speak to an advisor to get a better idea of the class schedules and then compare the two options. My circumstances are similar to @Christine2281 so I didn't even bother applying to the Generic program. However, even with my support system I would have to think twice about the AO with school aged children.
