  1. Miami Dade College

    Nips replied to Ltorres5351's topic in Florida Nursing

    I agree with using an old edition. We used the 11th edition lippincott med-surg book during my program and there is really no difference from the 10th edition. The information is the

  2. Miami Dade College

    Nips replied to Ltorres5351's topic in Florida Nursing

    I was in the same boat as you. I had never failed a test before this juncture. Out of 30 students in my program (bridge online) only 3 people passed the Adv Med-Surg CP/CT/ Pharm tests the 1st time....

  3. Miami Dade College

    Nips replied to Ltorres5351's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am an online student. I think the online classes are great and they really work for me. The bridge program is for those that have experience already and is made to build on the skills you have so...

  5. MDC RN program questions.

    Nips replied to CVICU RN25's topic in Florida Nursing

    I agree with what the councelor said. My friend was in the same boat as you when we applied last year and she was told the same thing. Personally speaking, when I was younger, I did not take college...

  6. MDC RN part-time program

    Nips replied to EddieDM's topic in Florida Nursing

    I see that you live in Broward. I am on the Dade-Broward county line myself and I attended MDC's North campus for science classes. I took professor Climente Fernandez for most of my science courses...

  7. MDC RN part-time program

    Nips replied to EddieDM's topic in Florida Nursing

    Don't lose too much hope. My friend got accepted into the program @ MDC with an AA degree and it worked to her advantage. I am not sure how to explain it....but, because she completed a degree it was...

  8. MDC RN part-time program

    Nips replied to EddieDM's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hello, One thing you should consider about the part-time track is that it is only offered once per year, every spring. I do not think that it is any harder/easier to get into this option. Just keep...

    Nips replied to Ltorres5351's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hello HealthJunkie, I did not take the NACE, I took the Hesi exam last July. It seems as though they change the entrance exam each year! I am not sure what the NACE is composed of, but the Hesi...

  10. Miami Dade College

    Nips replied to Ltorres5351's topic in Florida Nursing

    I believe that with the new changes (as of August 2007), NRG 051 has to be taken and completed before you can apply for the nursing program. A letter was sent out last year explaining this. However,...

  11. Applying to MDC RN Generic Prgm for Fall 08

    Nips replied to RNintheMakin's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just think positively and submit your application before the deadline and you should be fine. You can submit your application, even if you are still taking pre-reqs, but you need to have all your...

  12. Applying to MDC RN Generic Prgm for Fall 08

    Nips replied to RNintheMakin's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am currently in the bridge option @ MDC. I applied for both the bridge and generic option and got accepted into both programs with a 3.2 GPA. I have heard some of the same talk as you have about...

  13. Miami Dade College

    Nips replied to Ltorres5351's topic in Florida Nursing

    I got accepted into the MDC nursing program for both the bridge and generic option the FIRST AND ONLY time I applied. My GPA was a 3.2. I think you stand a very good chance to get into either program...

  14. Memorial Regional?

    Nips replied to kenesha212002's topic in Florida Nursing

    I worked there for a little while. Memorial Regional is undergoing construction which can be a pain because they periodically block the access to certain streets. Parking is terrible. All new...

  15. Discouraged about NS

    Nips replied to Rianna1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What kind of tech are you referring to? There are many types of techs that work in the hospital and some, like X-ray techs, can make as much as a nurse and sometimes more starting out but over time a...

  16. Question about "W"s on your record, urgent please

    Nips replied to maximus76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I withdrew from an english class back in 2003 because my course load was too heavy. I did not think that it affected my GPA but later found out that withdrawing from the class affected my credits...

  17. I hate nursing....

    Nips replied to les70808's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I work in the OR as a surgical tech and I hear the nurses often complain about some family members being difficult. Also, I work with floor nurses that just recently went through a...

  18. Surgeons "go ahead" problem ?

    Nips replied to OR male nurse's topic in Operating Room

    I live in South Florida. I heard of an incident where a heart patient was brought to the OR and put under anesthesia before the surgeon arrived. Supposedly the surgeon was only a few moments away but...

  19. Free goodies from the OR...

    Nips replied to brewerpaul's topic in Operating Room

    Well when we have an open case that gets cancelled and the patient never comes into the room I like to take the laps and asepto syringes for cooking. I use the laps like cheese cloth. When I bake a...
