   nj640 replied to thundahh's topic in NCLEX

   Because if you talk to anyone that has taken the modern version of the NCLEX...even talk to professors....you will know that the NCLEX of today is WAAAAY more difficult than what you took 20+ years ago...the amount of material, drugs and technology t...

2. Anyone starting RN at Miami Dade College Fall 2009?

   nj640 replied to ProspectiveMDC's topic in Florida

   not necessarily...if you get accepted, you will get a yellow envelope with all the paperwork...one of those will be a health paper that you must take to the doctor...you have to show proof that you have the other vaccines like Measles Mumps Rubella (...

   nj640 replied to ProspectiveMDC's topic in Florida

   you know it...especially HEP B is 3 shots...1st, 1 month, 6 months from 1st. HEP A is 2 shots, if you wish to get that one...wish I had gotten both at the same time....there is a vaccine called TWINRIX that has both the HEP A & B combined

   I had a CUM GPA of 3.78, but with 90 credits. As for the HEP B vaccine...go to the Miami Dade Health department...where all the poor people go to get their vaccines...it's free!

6. Any Miami Dade College students going for the acceler. or Generic option fall 2009?

   nj640 replied to MDC2009's topic in Florida

   LOL...everybody wants to get in under the radar... It is what it is...you won't be the only one...just be happy you have a chance to apply and be considered. Look at it as practice, because that's what it will be from that point on...the TEAS is just...

7. Any Miami Dade College students going for the acceler. or Generic option fall 2009?

   nj640 replied to MDC2009's topic in Florida

   I think this is a result of applicants complaining that many excellent prospective students with 3.2 to 3.6 GPA were being shut out. I think inserting the TEAS test provides another filter........just because you are a brand new student and only take...

   nj640 replied to mom12's topic in Florida

   It's does not look like it...only Full Time students were selected this year...even the Accelerated students were not allowed to the Baptist Scholars...but I think a few were allowed in the UM Scholars....nothing for Part Time

   Valky.....Actually everything turned out for the BEST...I got accepted to the UM Hospital Scholars Program...everything paid for....classes at Medical campus, all the books, uniforms, lab jacket, scrubs, Littmann stethoscope, watch, BP cuff, penlight...

11. Getting a BSN but have BA in Business ???

    nj640 replied to jam911's topic in Florida

    but...by taking these accelerated programs, whether at MDC, Nova, Barry...aren't you risking your GPA taking a beating? the last time I checked...MDC and most other programs like ARNP are using GPA as a heavy determinant to who gets accepted. yeah......

12. Getting a BSN but have BA in Business ???

    nj640 replied to jam911's topic in Florida

    But then MSN and ARNP are not the same...have a BA in Finance and am starting my RN in January...my goal is to transition into a BSN...which MDC has a part time program for this...then onto ARNP.

13. Getting a BSN but have BA in Business ???

    nj640 replied to jam911's topic in Florida

    I think the question asked was about going from an AS in nursing to BSN to apply for the ARNP program (which is a masters level degree for an RN)...if one already has a BA in Business, is there a shortcut?...I do not think this is possible. Sure, at ...

14. Getting a BSN but have BA in Business ???

    nj640 replied to jam911's topic in Florida

    I understand from an FIU standing..you must have fulfilled a BSN before you can apply to ARNP program...you cannot just do ARNP with an RN & AS in nursing...no matter how many years experience you have...at least this is what I understand.

    nj640 replied to ProspectiveMDC's topic in Florida

    I'm not sure that for the UM Scholars program all the classes are changed. I was told that only the clinical is different...obviously at UM Hospital (old Cedars) I already have all my books and classes registered...I was even able to get my clinical...
