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

[MDC2009]

I am currently at Miami Dade College fulfilling prerequisites in order to apply for the Nursing program that starts fall 2009. I'd like to be in touch with other career changers who after getting a bachelor's in a non-nursing field decided to pursue the program at Miami Dade College.

Thanks for your interest!

I went to the Med campus today and the bursar lady told me that when you actually go to get your background check is when they sign the authorization form. I keep hearing different things. MDC is so disorganized, lol.

Pomakyya, I don't know if one or the other is enough. I assume it is... I sure hope it is.

With all of this sweat,frustration and driving oneself crazy to get in against incredible competition-how is the job market out there?Will I continue to fight to get in somewhere and then not be able to get a job?

Orientation was ok. I strongly suggest eating breakfast before going and leave home early to find parking. Enjoy all:)

[Tatortots]

What did they go over in orientation? About how long was it and where did you end up parking?

[POMAKYYA, ASN, BSN]

I parked at the parking lot located on 21st and 10 ave.

At orientation, the different resources were discussed (e.g. success center, student life center, library services, access, ATI testing, etc) Also, discussed financial aid, admissions, bursar's office regarding appeals/petitions, public safety and bookstore operations. Then we took a short break then the nursing portion started. We were introduced to the chairperson for the AO track, we were assigned our advisor, they went over the student record form and all that they are looking for, we were given our book list and schedule for semester 1,2, and 3. Also, we went over the uniforms, the costs, the shoes, hospital assignment and parking, the stethoscope, class promptness, chain of command of whom to contact. We asked about NCLEX passage scores: AO was about 98% and GO was 94%. Basically, a lot of information given; a lot of which just seemed to go in one ear and out the other due to being really hungry and having a pounding a headache. But now I'm comparing book prices:/

AO students from Spring'10 and/or Fall'09

Are all the books listed necessary?...meaning, are you using all the books listed? Trying to see whether I really need to purchase all these books.

Did they mention anything about carpooling at orientation, Pomakyya? ... Sounds stupid but I know FIU has a carpooling service....

I live by the Doral/Fountaine bleau/FIU area, so if there is anyone who is going to the med campus starting this fall I would really appreciate a ride and I will def. pay for the gas/favor. :/ Sigh I haven't found anyone who can as all my friends/classmates got rejected. :'( This stinks.

30NCN You can probably go to the school tomorrow and see if they have any open seats available for the part time. Hey you never know

[Tatortots]

Sounds like orientation was pretty informative. That is surely a lot of information they gave you. Is everyone excited yet?

[30NCN]

Tatortos where there any part timers there ?
