Anyone Trying To Get Into Atlantic, Sheridan, or Mcfatter 2012-2013?

Published

In broward county? Or am I the only one? I see the last thread on either one of these schools was from 2011. I'm trying to get into mcfatter for Novembers start date. Orientation was supposed to be Monday but was cancelled due to the storm. So now it's on September 10th. I'm afraid a lot of people may be applying. And that I may not get on. :( was thinking about emailing the counselor and asking her how many they admit each time.

Hello pookyp,

I'm Melissa and located in Broward county. When I'm done with math I will be applying to Sheridan tech for lpn. I attend Mcfatter now for remedial and also did CNA there, but I prefer Sheridan. I don't think there is an expensive application fee so if you can and have to just apply for all 3 tech schools to broading your chances.

I'm not sure how many they admit but if you need call and speak with Mrs. Downy, she's very helpful. Mrs. Smith is the program director but always busy.

Whatever you do, if getting in is what you want keep pushing forward.

Wish you the best of luck!

I have ***** email from when she was cc'd in an email. I wonder if it would be ok if I could email her.

I had a friend that went to Atlantic. She really liked it. Mcfatter is up the street from me. That's the only reason why I'm considering them. Lol I believe the Sheridan and Atlantic are done accepting for this year. I'll have to call them.

Me! Me! Me! Lol I was so mad when orientation was cancelled and now sept 10 is so far away! Ugh! Im also nervous about there being too many people. I was thinking if all else fails just to go to sheridan or atlantic. Im overly excited and just want to start already. Do you know how long it takws for drug test results to come back? Wondering if we have enough time since the orientation was set back

I missed and put this thread in the wrong section. I started a new one in the LPN student forum. I hope the mods can merge the 2. Yay! Glad to see someone with me! I don't know when the results come back, but i got so nervous that I contacted Atlantic today and they are admitting people for December 18th. So I'm going there tomorrow to see if I can attend An orientation. It may be this upcoming Monday.

This will be my back up plan in case mcfatter is full. Also today I emailed ***and the nursing administrator to see if they have available slots and how many. I'll let you know what they say tomorrow. I just emailed them tonight.

Ok so I went to Atlantic. Their orientation is on September 18th so I guess I have no choice but to go to mcfatters on the 10th. But the counselor also said whatever background checks, etc that I do at mcfatter make photo copies and bring it to Atlantics orientation and my packet wold be complete. She also said to make copies of receipts.

I attended the august orientation at Mcfatter. The thing that will take the longest will be the physical portion. I would suggest making a dr. appt for the afternoon of your orientation. You can also make an appt for lab for that afternoon, but you may wait until you get to the orientation and do it from phone as they are only 4 places you can go do your drug test. Make sure you have all your paper work ready so you can make your appt. within a few days. Good luck
