Hey Mortero, you have been missing for too long! I just got my books and everything today and I'm going to start reading from the first week of the syllabus tonight. Where have you been focusing most of your reading? Is it all starting to get familiar to you?

For me it took about 2 to 3 weeks to rec'v the vouchers; however, for those of you who were just approved, you will more than likely get your vouchers immediately. Reason being is the Government funded the money like the second week of July for the Fall term. Once workforce has the money in the account they just distribute it accordingly. Its not like they have to send off for each persons funds. As long as you provided all the info they requested from you, they print them out right then while you wait.

I hope I explained it so you could understand it

I just found out i got accepted into the acclerated program on Friday, so im behind can anyone update me on anything like, when is orientation, whats steps are people taking to be ready for the start of this

Re: Anyone starting RN at Miami Dade College Fall 2009?

Generation1984, I'm very happy about your acceptance, and welcome. Orientation was last month. You probably should go up to the department to get your package b/c we got lots of paper work at the orientation. Also check your MDC email to find out if the teacher sent you the syllabus' for the first half of classes up until October. Also since you got accepted on Friday, did you get a chance to register?

From the look of the syllabus the only two classes that we could really prepare for in advance are intro to math and pharm, and Fundamentals of Nursing Lecture.

Also, if you don't have a scholarship and you don't want a bunch of loans, go to your local Workforce to see if you can get the WIA grant.

Hope this helps, take care!

Re: Anyone starting RN at Miami Dade College Fall 2009?

Thank you so much, no i haven't been able to register just yet, i received the call as i was walking into work on Friday, i went online yesterday to attempt to register for classes but all i saw were, generic full/part-time and online class, i was sort of confused, im going to the campus early monday morning to pick-up some papers, but the female who called me stated that she would be on vacation next week and would be returning on the 18th, so im not really to sure on what my next step should be. When you say nearest work force, for WIA grant???? Can you elaborate on this for me.....Im new to this really, im still surprised i got the call (better late than never), i have a lot of catching up to do, but i'm ready for the challenge. I doubt i have a syllabus for any class but, i will have my books by monday afternoon, so i hope i can receive the syllabus by monday night so i can get started asap......

Re: Anyone starting RN at Miami Dade College Fall 2009?

Your going to have your books by Monday afternoon so you probably don't need it, b/c it pays for the books, but what area do you live in. Thats a grant that pays for tuition, books, and supplies! You have to call your local workforce location, they will transfer you to the caseworker. Most of us on this site already have it.

If she won't be back until the 18th, you will be fine. The most important thing in that packet is your booklist b/c you probably want to start reading!

As for the syllabus, I can try to see if there is a way for me to forward the syllabus to you via private message through this site. I don't think there is???

Re: Anyone starting RN at Miami Dade College Fall 2009?

Thanks MG for your help, i live in the pembroke pines/miramar area im getting the books from a close friend who is in the generic full-time, but she's either on her 3rd or 4th semester im not to sure, but i would really appreciate it if you would some how get me the syllabus. I have alot of stuff to handle tomorrow, so much to do with such little time. :-)
