Broward College May 2017

First you have to sign up with employ Florida, and do the online orientation for the grant program. Once that is completed you can pick up a packet. If you don't have an associates you have to take the tabe test. So because I'm in the medical field I could possibly qualify for the grant because I want to enhance my skills. However, because I currently have a job its going to be hard. Because with the grant they want you to be looking for a job. the grant is geared around obtaining a job. So I would basically have to quit my job in advance to possibly be able to get the grant. However, that's my perception of how I took it when i spoke with the advocate that handles the program. I went to the one in coconut creek. So I'm not sure if other sites does things differently. If I get accepted I'm going to go to another location myself. I really need all the money I can get.

How did it go? I am hoping I can take a day off from work soon to go in person.

What campus is everyone wanting to attend?

I could do north or central, but I think I'm going to try for Central because I live near downtown ft lauderdale and I'd most likely want to eventually work in the Memorial or Broward hospital system.

I love memorial hospitals. I had such a good experience there when I had surgery in May. The nurses are so caring. I see a lot of chamberlain grads at memorial. Central is my second option. With 95 traffic I don't want to risk ever being late to clinicals or class

Thank you so much for the info! I'll look into it and keep you posted. I might go to the one on Oakland and see what they say there. Good luck with it!

I love the memorial health system. I want to work in a Memorial hospital. They are all such great hospitals, I've seen a lot of BC and Chamberlain nurses there also. I'd do central or north

South here, I live in Miami and I don't care what they say. All I care is to be accepted, I will give my all once in the program.
