Aug 2011 finishes in Dec 2013. You have no control over who any of your professors are or which hospital you go to. You have to be flexible.

Don't take it while you're in the program. Wait until the date that people are dropped for non-payment and then go on that morning. Something will open up.

You can get the modules from the bookstore and if you are at north campus, you can google your teacher's name and her website will have the reading schedule.

The lecture is at 9am and clinicals vary depending on your instructor. Usually they're 630am-2:30pm on Tues/Wed, but it varies. The only three you'll 100% need are Perry and Potter (text and lab guide) and Cox. You'll need the electrolytes and drug b...

The person who told me I didn't need to go in was at Downtown Fort Lauderdale. It's the same BS everywhere. I didn't want to go in because I'm in school 4 days a week and work the other one.

Get used to Broward's messing up your financial aid. I had a person tell me and reassure me 5x that I didn't have to see an advisor and her supervisor told me I did and she wouldn't discipline her because "she's a good employee and I should have expe...

Personally, I don't like the e-books. They're just glorified text files and if you shrink your browser, the alignment gets all messed up. I prefer the real books with pictures, boxes, etc. I use the e-books occasionally if I forgot my text, but I mos...

I go to North. It's hard, but do-able. Listen to their warnings about your first test score. A lot of people didn't and we had more than half our class fail as a result (but we also started in summer so our days were longer and our semester shorter)....

I'm saying your teachers will tell you what you need. Yes, I'm in the program, but every campus is different. Just go to the orientation, listen to what they tell you to buy and you'll know what to buy. They give you enough time to get what you need.

Your teachers will tell you what you need uniform-wise on the first day of class. Just hold off on buying the shirt until then. But some people like having it even if it's not required. If you're going to practice in the lab on your own time you eith...

Remember, it depends on your campuses. NORTH does not require it. I know at least one of the other two campuses does. I think it's south, but I'm not sure.

Some campuses require it. North doesn't. You can use it in the lab when you go to practice on your own time if you don't wear your uniform, but it's not a requirement.

You don't need the polo at north campus.

NP1 and NP1 clinicals during the first half and NP2/NP2 clinicals during the second half of the semester with Pharmacology all the way through (but Pharm is easy).

Both are around the same level. MDC is more competitive, it seems, as we have a few people from Miami in our class who said they didn't get in there. It's all about time management and critical thinking. It's harder to do it with kids, but we have a ...

I love it... the teachers are wonderful. It's not easy by a long shot, but if you know how to think at a deeper level, which is a requirement for being a nurse, you'll pass. You definitely won't find anything "easier" out there unless you decide to g...

I just got this e-mail from our professor: Room 224, Building 41, North campus. See you in the morning. Gregg Brickman No time, but since the welcome letter says 730, I'm getting there at 730.

I haven't received any e-mails from the program since the welcome information/background and health check in April. I hope someone else responds saying they got an e-mail as well so I can see if I get knocked off the list somehow and get it fixed tom...

I wrote to the professor to see if I get the same response as you... The dean's office said if there isn't anything listed directly on the professor's website, go to room 224 and they'd make sure we got to the correct room.

830? The file on the NP website says 730 on May 10. I'm going to call up the nursing department and verify. Thanks for responding!

Where exactly is our class tomorrow? I can't find a room number.

It's not just your GPA that matters - it's also your pre-requisites. Your HESI doesn't count towards points.

A few people have said laptops aren't allowed in classes

Is anybody else having problems with their financial aid? I accepted my loans last month and had a zero balance and today all my classes got dropped. I'm trying to figure it out with the school now, but I was curious as to whether this had happened t...
