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

Jessica1024 · Aug 4, 2009

About a year ago students with a 3.5 were accepted with no problem at all. I am so surprised with the whole budget cut and everything. I mean with the shortage of nurses now and everything this is just going to make things so much worse. I am also sad that so many students with wonderful GPAs will not be able to make it in because of the whole budget cut thing. Even if your GPA is not the best I do not think it really makes a difference anyway. Let me lnow how it goes for everyone!

someone knows where I could get a cheaper stethoscope than at MDC bookstore?

Hey Charlyn I was accepted to the part time generic over at the medical center campus..... It's mu h closer to my house. Wow I can't beleive you ended up having to lose all that money it's incredible that they do not at least send a standby notice or something. Well I'm glad at least you were able to get into the school of your choice. I wish you the best of luck!!

THANK YOU :typing

Hi Charlyn , I will go to the Homeastead campus too. I still need to buy some things like stetoscope , light pen ,...

I am looking around for cheaper price but I know for sure that we want to invest some money in a good one.

Good luck!

I went to the bookstore at medical campus today, I know that the best brand for sthetoscopes is Litman, but there are 2 versions, the big (about $85) and the small one (about $45). if someone finds a cheaper price ,please let me know. Thank you

Ra-man13, just letting you know that you can find better pricing in amazon. I purchase everything there, they have a better pricing in stethescope, light pen, I even bought my shoes there (although it is a little big, but its fine) and white uniform. Also, I'm going to Homestead, I hope to see you there.

How much does the fundamental lecture book cost at the book store

UF-UM · Aug 20, 2009

HEY charlyn15,

The same thing happened to me as well. I was placed on a waiting list and was called in early July and asked if I was still interested in attending MDC. Fortunately I was accepted to the University of Miami and there is where I am going to for my Accelerated.

Hello Generation,

It will cost more to buy the Fundamentals at the bookstore. But if you have the list of book, you can check it out online where you might a better pricing. I bought mine a Amazon.com, then again you can check ebay, or google it to see which vendor pop-up. I hope this help.

HEY charlyn15,

I remember back in 07 the UM school of nursing was placed on probation for a couple years for cheating. I never followed up on those Miami Herald news reports. I imagine the all powerful Shalala had to get that program turned around. It was shocking 2 years ago, last I heard every exam is video taped like they do in South America to prevent and capture unethical practices. That should not bother most hard working honest students.

I was just wondering if it's still a topic discussed by current/former students or is their np over that? Or perhaps the np is at its highest level now because of it?
