6. MDC has a PA program

   Grindaholic replied to Grindaholic's topic in Florida

   EXACTLY! I don't understand how MDC is only offering an Associates. At least they could have tried to make it a Bachelors. It does seem strange.

7. MDC has a PA program

   Grindaholic posted a topic in Florida

   At MDC this PA program awards an associates. I always thought a PA must have a masters. Please shed some light on this program. Also, how competitive will one be down here in S. Florida if all of the other PA programs in FL award a masters? Sin...

   With some of these responses, I may do it for more than one semester, as I had originally planned. I'll share my experiences later in a few months. Thanks!

9. Attending Multiple Schools Simultaneously?

   Grindaholic replied to Grindaholic's topic in Pre-Nursing

   No worries! I did not interpret it as snarkiness. Thanks for you input and sorry for the lack of specifics. For anyone who reads this later on...your financial aid points are actually VERY valid.

10. Attending Multiple Schools Simultaneously?

13. Nowadays, in S. Florida, do hospitals prefer BSNs, or is the RN all that matters?

    Grindaholic replied to Grindaholic's topic in Florida

    Very encouraging post! I actually thought that my previous experience in another field would be viewed as valuable. Hope it is seen as you've eloquently and optimistically stated in your post when its time for me to find a position. Thanks.

14. Nowadays, in S. Florida, do hospitals prefer BSNs, or is the RN all that matters?

    Grindaholic replied to Grindaholic's topic in Florida

    My sister in law has been at Baptist forever. First she started as an RN with an ADN then had Baptist pay for the rest. She now has an MSN and teaches on the side. But I am in Boca. So travelling to MDC is a bit of a drive. I'm willing to do it,...

    Grindaholic replied to Grindaholic's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Your post is very helpful. I will weigh all of my commitments and make a smart decision. Down here in S. Florida, the competition to get into a good program is tough, so I want to give myself a chance to get the best grades possible. So thanks for...
