    MagnesiuM replied to EmpressT's topic in Florida Nursing

    There were 43 students in our starting class last August (08). Three dropped the first week because of scheduling conflicts, or personal reasons, so we were at 40 for the first semester. It varies...

    Thank you for your encouraging reply! We are hoping it's not too conservative for our little "nontraditional" family...we're not looking for gay bars or nightlife, just a good town where we can raise...

  7. MDC Accelerated Program

    MagnesiuM replied to EmpressT's topic in Florida Nursing

    i don't have kids, but plenty of people do. just have very sorted child care, because missing classes is tough, and missing clinicals and exams is NOT an option. anything is possible if you set your...

    MagnesiuM replied to EmpressT's topic in Florida Nursing

    yes, classes are at Medical Center campus, which is near the VA. It's near the metrorail and busstops. I don't know miami very well, so i don't know where hollywood is, but i think i remember that...

  10. MDC Accelerated Program

    MagnesiuM replied to EmpressT's topic in Florida Nursing

    That's the right attitude, EmpressT :-) as for scholarships, i'm not certain....as a white 30-something female, i really didn't qualify for any minority scholarships of any sort; i'm not a florida...

  11. New RN grad pay in South florida??

    MagnesiuM replied to rcidro's topic in Florida Nursing

    For those moving to Miami from another city, please remember too that in this area, $21 or even $24 doesn't stretch as far as it does in other areas in FL or the rest of the country. I live here now,...

    MagnesiuM replied to EmpressT's topic in Florida Nursing

    MagnesiuM posted a topic in General Nursing

  15. Nursing Diagnosis help

    MagnesiuM replied to mark3274's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was told that we could not use medical diagnoses either....so why can we use COPD as a R/T? it's confusing, and i don't think our instructors would let us do that....they'd tell us to "explain it...

    MagnesiuM replied to anangelsmommy's topic in General Students
