Miami Dade College Spring 2015 RN Program

Published

Hi all!

I wanted to start a thread for all of the Spring 2015 MDC RN applicants. I finally finished all of my pre-req's, and have started studying for the NLN PAX RN exam. I am hoping this thread, like many other MDC threads of the past, can help us all to build friendships, support one another, and most importantly, help us through this difficult process. Welcome! :)

Hey guys goy I purchased our hunter green campus and clinical scrubs today and spend half the price mdc is asking for. Check out Blue Angels located next to Wendy's. Ladies the pants are drawstring in the front and elastic in the back.

Do they also do the MDC & SON embroidery?

Exact emblem just Cherokee brand which is also a better quality for those that are familiar with scrubs. If you already have a lab coat they can put the logo on for $10. If not u can purchase one and pay $5 for the embroidery

Orientated very informative. There are definitely a lot of rules and regulations to follow. Don't worry to much about the wrong form being signed they are tweeking thw system now. Just make sure you fill it out completely. I suggest you check out the classes online for the schedule. Classes will fill up quickly after orientation. So be prepared in advance! Dr. Brown told us we will be able to register after 3pm. Most of us went directly to the registration window and they were able to over that 3pm hold.

it used to be free, but now they charge money..i guess they want people to take it seriously.. this reminds me of a story my dad told me, while he was in college he played in a band and tons of people complained, but when they they charged 3.00 $ people stopped complaining lol

For those of you buying uniforms other than MDC, be careful and make sure if you do but outside MDC that the uniforms look EXACTLY the same. Same packets in pants and everything! Even though some professors are cool about it, others are a pain in the neck about uniforms. My clinical professor would send students home form the hospitals if they had a slightly different uniform! And believe me these professors have excellent sight! They spot all details that aren't even naked to the eye. Be careful, saving a few dollars might no be worth the F they would give you for clinical days!

I'm on your same boat. I'm a bit over all this mess and shenanigans. I did read in this forum that someone got accepted to the bridge program this Monday and their orientation was on Thursday. So that gave me a little hope. Also, someone mentioned that Homestead campus is full but when I had called they said that until we don't receive rejection letters that there are still spots open. So let's hope there is. Good luck to those of us still waiting and congratulations to those who made it!
