McFatter LPN Program

Hmmc4 · Sep 3, 2011

I was planning on doing the BLS too, DeAnna says it is not really required but would gives us more time on other training?? I wish I only had to do the renewal like you, prob cheaper :)

When I spoke w/fin aid they told me things changed this year. She told me we need:

HS Diploma

Transcripts (didnt say what transcripts)

Taxes for this year

1040 tax return & your pin

I am worried about fin aid too, I do not have the money to put out for all the fee's & such. Hopefully fin aid goes smoothly for us. I would much rather get everything and be prepared then to only get a little at a time. If/when I get a call back from fin aid, I will let you know. I havent gotten far w/it being that they cant even pull up my FASA info, but hopefully they get that info soon!! I may end up making a trip over to the school too :lol2: I want to find out what books we're gonna need. I think they will give a book list??? Maybe they have the new scrubs out & we can see what they look like?

Yes, NOV is right around the corner.... kinda nervous....

BTW Hmmc4

at orientation they gave us a list of place where you can have your BLS done, much much cheaper than many places. I think I saw one for $20.00 for 1st timers. IDK if it was a grp rate or not its done at a fire-station. I did mine for 85$ smdhh. Anywhoo let me know if you are interested, I can post it for you

Hey Praying01!!

Thank you :) Wow, Monday will be here soon! Glad you were able to skip core like you wanted. I dont even wanna think about the books. I know they will prob be expensive :0 Please let us know how classes go! Best of luck to you on the program *wine

Yes, could you please post it? I was looking at one that was $90!!! I wish we didnt have to do the BLS before, but oh well! LOL. Thanks :cool:

Hmmc4,

So its required for the Nov. students to complete BLS before entering the program? Strangeee since the tuition includes BLS class/course, idk! I hope they reduce it, for the sake of the self pay students. LOL, yes im an advocate for self paying students cause it sure isnt easy for me lolol.

Well here are the INITIAL CPR/BLS referrals.

-Nursingunlimited.com $90.00

-Broward College-$94.83

-browardcpr.net-$26.00 (954)721-1992

-TEAMhealth Institute-$40.00 (954)377-2946

-EMS Academy-$50.00 (grps of 10+) 954-577-0577

Hi Praying01,

Thanks for the list. I appreciate it The BLS is on the letter to have, but when I spoke to the school they said it would be better to have it before school started??? I feel the same way.... it is already worked into the program. I feel like they should have that as a req with new ppl applying for the program, but that is my thought, LOL.

I dont blame you, I know in these hard times every little bit helps, esp if you dont qualify for any fin aid.

Have you been able to make it to the bookstore? Oh, did you ever find out about stethoscope? Do we need to get a watch?

Thanks so much for all the info, you have help calm my nerves

Praying01 · Sep 12, 2011

Hey Hmmc4,

Yes I've been to the bookstore, haven't purchase any books yet though lol/smh! But I will soon. Classes start tomorrow but from what i was told is that they are a little behind (still teaching core), which is fine by me because it gives me plenty of time to buy my books. I did however purchase my scrub set and shoes from payless. For the stethoscope, the rep at the bookstore said that nobody has really purchased it yet because it mainly used during block b. If you head to the bookstore there is a list of "suggested supplies". If your not able to make it, let me know and i will take a pic for you and send it to you by email or so.

I read your post the minute you posted it, and i was trying my darn-est to figure out how to attach a document to a reply (because it does give me an option) but I just cant seem to post the books that they ask for. lol srry! Anywhoo let me know and I most def will not take to long to send you the info

Hi Praying01,

I can not tell you how much I appreciate all the info you have been giving me Thank you again!!

So you get a little more time until you officially start?? That is cool. I guess that is why they are asking for the BLS to be done, LOL. Please tell me the new scrubs are like regular scrubs w/no collar?? I didnt plan on going up to the school until I heard from financial aid, which reminds me, I havent heard from them. I am gonna have to call them. I try not to go over to the school unless I have to being it takes me almost a 1/2hr to get there. The bookstore will give us the booklist and suggested supplies then? I think I might end up just getting my books by the block....

Whatever info you can send me, I will take. Whenever you have time. I know things must be hectic for you right now with waiting to start school & working. (You said in an earlier post that you are working and will be working during the program, right?) I can send you a msg with my email now that I have 15 post. I think that is the # of post you have to have before you can msg someone??

No problem at all Hmmc4

I sent you a message btw. The scrubs are cuter than the white and teal, in my opinion lol. No ugly collar. I'm not really pressured just yet with work and school. but that can all change next block lol. :uhoh3:
