   I will have over 300 cases and over 1000hrs of time by January....There's 6-7 sites, absolutely no shortage of cases. Believe me, there will be days or weeks when you wish you didn't have to step foot...

   It's the end of the semester, lots of things going on. As said before, one of the secretaries has pursued other education now. Carolyn I assume now has a lot on her back. The basics professor retired,...

   Do it. You won't have any assignments or tests. The only thing you'll need to do is sign in for chem class so your name pops up like you're watching it. He usually records them all, so you can go back...

   Also, not sure how it is at the other sites, but at Broward a 12hr shift isn't just a 12hr shift. Your case may run over, sometimes you'll have pre-ops for the next day to do, and also you'll have...

   Ditto to this...I'm going to have well over 100k in debt. You're going to find people from all walks of life. Some in major debt and some that still live with their parents. Regardless of your...

   People have definitely been admitted late in the year, as far as not getting their clinical site...I'm not sure. I haven't actually heard of anyone not getting their chosen clinical site. Especially...

    Just a heads up, one of the main coordinators was out on official leave/business for like 4-5 days so they may be slightly behind right now. Also, undoubtedly some of you reading this will get in. So,...

    If you've applied already and want a greater chance of acceptance, then I would highly suggest signing up for the CCRN and notifying the school that you plan on taking it. There were many that did...
