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.

I did really well in Theory, but the inconsistencies of instructors when it came to skills drive me crazy!!! "If not even you(instructors) can decide on the "right " way of doing things, would you please get off my back and let me do it according to the F@!!@! book" but no...especially insane Taylor

I go to mcfatter and I'm just now starting block one but I love my teacher she has her moments but overall she's awesome and whatever U aka she always answers.my friend is in block 2 she said its very tough but mcfatter is way more lenient than Atlantic so I think u should try again especially since u can skip the entire block 1. U should get on that ASAP before my group starts block 2. Also I'm buying my books online it's 2 times more cheap than the book store!!! Get ur book list and buy them NOW online before its too late

Come to find out my friend had none of the books I needed. So I got them online. I got the fundamentals book and workbook, anatomy book and workbook, core book, nclex pn book, tabers dictionary, all used for $200 online used to be here by Wednesday. I'm ready to get started. 4 more days!

Ok so today was my first day. We stayed the whole day. Got our log ins for the computer and went over the handbook. Had our first assignment due tonight as well.

We have to go to class Monday and Tuesday for CPR. Have no idea if class is Wednesday thru Friday. We also have a list of videos to watch by January 16th. I like it so far. :)

Jeeze CPR is 2 days!? Ours was probably like 3 hrs max. And our assignments were all due the last day of the 3 weeks. That's great that u like it. So do u have to go to class everyday ? We have 3 tests next week and a take home text also due next week everything were learning right now is pretty simple. Monday Wednesday and Friday are our tests and Tuesday we have a bathing lab where we wash each other and Thursday we have a movement lab. Basically what we do in class is write notes from the power point.. Then go on a break around 930 then come back take more notes and watch some videos then lunch and then a little more notes and go home.. We've been going home early like around 130/2 our teachers super nice and she "baby's" us but she's sooooooooo unorganized but it's fun I love it already have my little "group" of friends and study people we start out clinicals in January and after jan 14 we can take the CNA boards if we want to

Yeah. CPR is 2 full days. And this teacher doesn't play around with going home early. :( she'll find an assignment for you to do if there's time to waste. We have her till April. Forgot to say we also had a 25 question math test today. To see where we are in math.

Do you guys have to do resumés? We do because in block 3 we go on interviews for jobs or something like that. And we have to bring all of our books daily. So i guess they'll stay in my trunk or I'll buy a rolling backpack. We dont have to lug them, but in case clinicals get out early, we'll come back to class and read, etc. LOL

Also very strict with the hair being pulled back, earrings, socks showing no ankles, etc. smh

But the teacher is so nice.

Core workbook will have periodic checks done on them, but she gives us the answer key to it all. Says its up to us to do the workbook. No sweat off her back. Lol

They also don't play about being late. Whooo! 5 mins late=30 mins late and its noted. Be it via breaks, lunch, or coming in to class in the am.

Hey sorry I've been so busy with school and the holidays haven't had time to respond

! That's crazy that u had a core work book we didn't have that just the book and our quizzes online. Did u have to go to class for core (not sure if u already mentioned it) we move pretty quickly do about 3 different units a week while taking tests for the last weeks units so its quite crazy. We will be finished with the nursing assistant portion of block one January 14 which is when we start our clinicals. I can't wait! We also don't need any supplies like stethoscope or any of that until later on. Half of the class including me failed our first test because she wrote directions at the BOTTOM of the test and we didn't read them so we got a few problems wrong. The tests keep getting more hard . The hardest so far was on mobility but our next text which is elimination of the bowel and urinary is going to be verrrrrry hard! Luckily our teacher babies us and if we do bad she will still pass us as long as she sees us trying and as long as we pass the BSF portion. We finish block 1 sometime in March. My friend is currently in block 2 and she says its ridiculously hard! Not looking forward to that. So how has school been so far? Is ur teacher nice? Did u migrate towards a little group of friends? How have ur core quizzes been?? Details!
