Frontier is accepted in Florida as well as University of South Alabama. Both have RN to MSN (for non nursing bachelors). Good luck on your decision !

Congrats to all ! I too got accepted to the RN to FPMHNP USA Spring program. I already have a bachelor's in another field so am very excited about this ! ! ! I was losing hope cause I got 2 rejects prior to USA and USA was my first choice ! V...

Hello, I've been at my current hospital for more than 7 months now and have in total 1 year and 2 months of experience. My co-worker who also has the same experience applied to a new position from another hospital and got a salary base of approx 1...

Thanks for all your comments and thoughts. to @Altra, you said "Also consider -- as a nurse with only one year of experience, why do you believe you are worth more compensation than another nurse in your unit?" My point is because my colleague has th...

What about Adult NPs ? Anyone care to share info on salary for adult NPs and specialty types ? Thanks in advance.

RN boom is comparable to housing because back in 2000s (from late 1990s to mid 2000) so called RN shortage was crazy to say the least--hospitals were recruiting RNs from the Philippines, Colombia, India, etc. ; Giving them Green cards, bringing them ...

I understand your concern and all 4 of your points are valid. I made a tally of gaswork.com job postings for more than a year. Back in July 1, 2010, there were 689 job postings, on Mar 27, 2011, there were 484 job postings--a drop of 29.7% in less t...

Hello guys, I dont want to rein in the party but for those aspiring RNs-to-be, its tough out there to land a job. Our MDC graduating class July 2010, only 30% or so has had jobs. Considering these are accelerated RNs with past employment history--I'v...

Hello all, BTW, i passed the Nclex-RN first time with 75 Questions in 75 minutes and Kaplan is the only course (took almost 2000+ questions and scored approx 50% to 60%) I took. Good luck to everyone still taking it ! There is hope for everyone !

Congratulations ! ! ! BTW, I also got accepted to a new job ! so have to focus on the NCLEX. Will be taking it on the 12th :-) Once again. Congratulations !

I am in the Miami Dade College Accelerated Program and yes, I can assure you our program is as hard or perhaps even harder than yours. Our entering class' GPA is the highest so far in their history at 3.85 but out of 50 entering students, 13 flunked ...

Welcome back, Mortero. Looking forward to seeing you guys as well on Aug 24. I PMed you my details. Best regards, Sunny

Hello Prospective, Good luck on your decision ! If you ask me, I think you would do well either way--like they say, you cannot time the market--if you're good, you will be sought after no matter how bad the recession is. Take care and hope to see...

Mommy'sgirl, yes... I was quite surprised the orientation was done by 12:30 pm... No, I did not register that day... I registered online at home that night. And yes, my audit code has changed to accelerated code number-- what about yours ?

Hey ProspectiveMDC, You are super-efficient:yeah: ... everyone will be glad to be your study/group mate Last week's Accel Orientation was fine--except that I did not meet any of you guys here--Mortero, Mommy'sgirl, et al-- Was tempted to make an ann...

Guys, Do you have an inkling of how long will the orientation be ? 9 am to ? Thanks,

No idea about the ATI student account-- I guess we are all just too anxious and giddy as others are keeping it cool and not worrying too much about it :-))) Based on ppl's posts, it seems not a lot of Accelerated Programmers (accepted for Fall of 200...

Thanks for opening up this thread, ProspectiveMDC and replying to my email in the other thread, Mommy'sGirl. ProspectiveMDC and Mommy'sGirl--can you guys PM me your email and contact info? I will then email you my contact info as well. For some r...

Hello Fellow MDCers, I got accepted for Fall 2009 Accelerated Program -- Yoo hoo ! ! ! Wanted to ask you guys about apartment hunting strategy. Since I am from Tampa and thinking of moving to Miami perhaps 1 or 2 days before classes--wondering how an...

Thanks OnEaglesWIngs for the apt tip. Will look into the area on orientation day. RMO1809 -- hang in there ... good things happen especially as your GPA is very close. Even if you dont receive any letters... its still a good sign as you're not reje...

Yup, thats right... only for 1 year. :-) Need to find an apartment--any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks Marggie, Mortero, 30NCN, Shen06, Rostata, EmpressT, Mommy'sGirl for the kind words ! Yes--the letter has a lot of stuff to do--darn and I may have to go to Miami (from Tampa) just to pay the $100 deposit and submit response form--ANd then aga...

Guys, Checked my mailbox and accepted into the Accelerated program with a 3.8 ...whew... basically.. just enough to get in. If you guys are correct that this year's minimum is a 3.8... Cannot believe it...Thank GOD for that ! Shen, 30NCN, Olofin, an...

Your acceptance letter probably needs to be picked up as they dont want to waste postage due to budget cuts...... We need to just keep it cool and stay positive. Did you apply for the accelerated or Generic ? I only applied for the accelerated.

Where do you live RMO1809 ? I live here in Tampa ...
