You have to apply to Baptist for their scholar program. But, you also have to apply to and be accepted by Miami Dade College. Then you may have a choice as to whether to attend Miami Dade College on their Medical Campus downtown by Jackson Memorial o...

baptist has an agreement with miami dade college. that is where the professors come from. baptist is a good place to get your basic years in but they do have a way of making you think they are doing you a favor. i went over this in a previous posting...

i have worked at tenet health, baptist health, the university of miami and the public health trust ( jackson memorial hospital). tenet was not bad. the pay was better then the other 3, the enviornment was family oriented, but i worked at coral gables...

oops. most hospitals that are government affiliated (va,etc) or teaching hospitals that are state affiliated ( jackson in the public health trust here in miami), have programs for repayment/forgiveness of student loans that were acquired in nursing s...

good morning,

yes, baptist puts alot of weight in the interview but remember how many they have to chose from so you have to come up with something that will make you stand out and make them want you. i know there is alot of competitiion because they will pay for ...

i was a baptist scholar in 2003 and 2004. do not let them see you sweat. they need you as much as you need them. do not listen to the hype about how great baptist is, every place has it draw backs. understand that you will get what ever position is o...

i have a different opinion. i had a degree (bs) in sociology/education and an aa in psych before i got my bsn. organizations seem to believe, those that are bright enough, that it makes you more well rounded and accomplished. if you are so close, it ...

Baptist Health South FLorida is different than any other "Baptist Health System" in Florida. The organizational culture is different and, of course, so are the locations and treatment of employees, old and new. However, there is something to be said ...

Trust me I know that our ED is beyond critical care. If anything I would worry that you would become bored but if you get bitten by the teaching bug and you fall in love with it as you did with adrenaline, you will be an asset to any school and a ble...

Yes and anything that is a risk to me I will not due, not with so much at stake. Ordinarily I would do it but not now.

SanDgroovy, Yes, I suppose it is. It has been a few years since I went back. Atlanta Medical Center is a level one trauma center is it not? Also, is it true that Grady is closing its doors? Please let me know about both. Thank you in advance.

I too work in trauma now but I have other focuses in my life now and I want to slow down. I have a MS in education and I am going for my ARNP in critical care. So much for slowing down. But, this way I can have both. I can teach and I can work with m...

i work at a level one in a large city, a gateway city to latin america. i take my job very seriously. i fought hard to become a nurse and i am proud to be one. however, i am in fertility treatments trying to have a baby and no matter what my heart ma...

Hello all! I am a nurse now and have been for a few years. Is there someone who can give me an email address or regular address to write to them and say thank you. Where do they post available jobs? Back in 1987 I had a severe Traumatic Brain Injury ...

bet0236, baptist is ranked as one of the best places to work, but not by other nurses. by aarp, by u.s. news and world report and by working woman. but not by the florida nurses association or the american nurses association. every place has its give...

well, you wait till you run into someone with rectal optalitis. that is when the nerve going from the eyeball to the *** gives you a sh**** outlook on life.

i was an neuro icu nurse and now i do research in tbi at a level one with some of the best neurosurgeons and nurses in the country. the "trauma center" nurses are focused on getting the patient in and out, on to the "other" icus. the neuro icu nurses...

six years too late but i am a clinical research nurse for a major academic organization closely affiliated with a large teaching hospital. i work for a neurosurgeon who specializes in tbi and as a severe tbi survivior myself, i am giving back to thos...

i cannot speak to the accelerated program at either private unversity. i can tell you that there are professors at barry that come from um and it was a loss to um. an accelerated program is nuts because you cannot absorb that amount of data and techn...

well, that is a lot in a short question. miami-dade college has a generic and accelerated program. the generic is at a "normal" pace and the accelerated crams 18 months-2years into one year of class and clinical. university of miami also has a gener...

i graduated um in 2004 and alot has changed. yes, they got a beautiful new building and an infusion of funds. they lost alot of wonderful professors and the feeling of the place is different. money issues have affected everyone including higher educa...

first, let me say that the princeton review for the gre was great! seond, like the nclex, the mat, the sat, and all the rest of the alphabet soup we are put through in higher education. study thoroughly, but not like crazy, breath deeply, pray or med...

um/sccc is a huge family of clinics, specialties, inpatient and outpatient care. can you be more specific about where you were offered to work and what you are looking for?

whether or not you work/study with/on a cadaver probably has more to do wtih where you go to school and the funds available to that institution. but then, i went to both a cc and a big bsn program and in neither place did we get to do that. i dare s...
