In broward county? Or am I the only one? I see the last thread on either one of these schools was from 2011. I'm trying to get into mcfatter for Novembers start date. Orientation was supposed to be Monday but was cancelled due to the storm. So now it's on September 10th. I'm afraid a lot of people may be applying. And that I may not get on. :( was thinking about emailing the counselor and asking her how many they admit each time.

No I don't work in the program. Monday lecture 1-3:45pm. Tuesday and Wednesday (for now) clinical lab 8am-4pm. Thursday Pharmacology 5pm-7pm. When we go to the hospital then it'll be either Tuesday or Wednesday. :) this is for the LPN-RN trans program. :))

Thank you so much!

That's awesome that your doing good I'm glad! Cat believe how close we were to being in the same class. Keep me updated! We've lost 2 people so far in block 2 the other half of the class lost a few. Sad a lot were by like a point. And why am I selling it? Because I lost a lot of time with my family for it, I put a lot of hard work and time into it and I'm not giving someone a free ride especially if I don't know them.

Hi Ms Codero.. i currently attend mcfatter and will start block two on 7-18...i am willing to buy your notes how can i contact you or meet somewhere at school?

Just checking in!

Block 2 will be over in just about 2 weeks then on to my last blck..Block 3! So excited and can't wait to finish. December 12th can't come fast enough. We have 2 separate classes of block 2, but since we've lost so many people, we will be combining the block 2 classes to just one block 3 class. There's only 11 left in my class and 12 in the other. There are some people on HESI contract, so hopefully everyone makes it through. I think there's only 4 more clinicals left in this block. Can't wait, because I actually don't like clinicals. I know that's weird, but it seems like we're doing more CNA work and documenting then doing 'nursing' stuff.

Nursing is nowadays paperwork with some nursing care. :/

True. Sad, but true.

HEY been in block 3 for a week now.. super boring basically the teacher just reads straight from the book so during class i do all of my work and drugs etc. took our first test did great. we start clinicals next week for maternity peds and psych pretty excited. Hesi was ok passed with an 857 for med surg and got like 760 something in pharm luckily we didn't need an 800 on that. Im signed up for 2 classes at bc to continue my pre reqs while also still in the program until novemeber.. block 3 isn't as intense as the others and its maternity and peds, i have 2 kids so i took it upon myself to help get ahead. hows everything at atlantic? they showed us the passing rates for all 3 schools and as usual.... sheridan is like 50% SO NO ONE GO TO SHERIDAN, UNLESS YOU DONT WANT TO PASS THE NCLEX. we got 100% passing rate at mcfatter and atlatic had like 80 or 90 so def stay away from sheridan people!! not t mention they don't teach you about catheters!!!! you learn when u get to it in real life! TERRIBLE! Also Mcfatter has changed somethings around.. the school now starts at 730-2 mon-fri (doesn't affect the current students) i think they might end up switching it back because we all have been complaining for the new students because its just not able to work especially for people with children... anyway! all is well over here/ love the program glad i took this route and chose this school. for anyone trying to decide id say have mcfatter as your first choice in my opinion. and no take no for an answer no matter which route you take.

Funny. Everyone who drops or leaves my school goes to Sheridan. They love it over there and say the environment is so welcoming with the teachers. Atlantic can be challenging.They give us RN like tests. It's not easy but I like it. The teachers have BAD attitudes though. I heard mcfatter is ghetto and just passes ppl. Funny the things we hear huh? lol . I'm dreading the HESI that's coming up. The pharm especially. *sigh* I've been doing the practice tests so hopefully that'll help. I think the 7:30 to 2 schedule isn't bad but maybe for others it won't work out :( had a girl visit out class yesterday and she graduated from our school. She came to tell our teacher she had just graduated from BC. She failed by one point the first time, and it wasn't her fault. But according to her, teachers were talking saying that they accepted too many and were failing ppl by .5 points, etc. I felt so bad for her. She had to repeat and finally passed. I'm scared to go there, but MAY give it a try. I'm looking at other schools right now. BC is not my first choice by any means. But if I get in I'll take it. :). I don't start block 3 until August 19th. The 8th is the last day of block 2 and we get a week off, upon returning starts block 3. I heard its really laid back.

The passing rates are according to the state boards for students who passed the nclex not from the schools themselves sheridan has a terrible passing rate. That's crazy that people say mcfatter is ghetto lol furthest thing from. Sheridan in the other hand is def ghetto went and saw with my own eyes. Best way to choose a school is by their board pass rates. BC is up in the 90s I. Def going there always has been my first choice. Not to mention they are finishing ier second new building for thnursing program. Once that's done no one ill be able to compete with them. I was looking into excelsior I actually heard from someone who graduated from there she says its the best choice she made but I'm really iffy on the whole online thing. Do you have to pass the hesi? The pharm was hard not going to lie. The med surg wasn't so bad you'll be surprised how good you'll do. I'm glad we got to see how different the schools are from each other throughout the year, can't be,I'd've were almost done, 89 days until our graduation nov 14. Can't wait I'm ready to take this nclex and get a job. He's anyone else heard about excelsior? Seems too good to be true

I personally thought about excelsior, but the thought of having no teacher scares me, plus the skills test at the end i heard was nerve wracking. I'm thinking of going to a private school. There's 2 I'm looking at. Takes exactly one year.

Starting Monday the 19th starts block 3 for us. I thought I would like maternity, but after reading the book, it made my eyes cross. Lol

I'm trying to figure out how much time I'm gonna give myself to take the nclex. I'm thinking maybe 3 weeks. December 10th can come fast enough!

One year for LPN-RN or LPN-BSN? schools?

Hey everyone how's it going at Atlantic? Just stopping by to say we only have 2 tests left!!! Graduate and hesi exit 2! Exactly one month util graduation November 14!! Can't wait!!!!!
