You wrote (a LONG time ago): I casually mentioned an interest in a PRN NP job, and my professors told me basically "no one will hire a new grad NP PRN". Is this true? Would love to hear what you actually did do. It was a few years ago since your pos...

Maybe try enpnetwork.com? I saw they help students find preceptors.

Yes, medical campus. First floor. Double glass doors. Where the Academic Advisors are. (maybe called Registration department?) Not sure of the room number. Sorry.

Not sure the application is online. Everyone I knew went to the 1st floor registration & advising department and asked for the one page application (maybe front & back?) and filled it out right there and turned it in, right there. Compared to...

Hello Alisabeth, Please share with me any key information regarding the full scholarship for UM's NP program. The only way I could consider UM would be to acquire a full scholarship. Was it a need-based scholarship or a merit-based (academic perfor...

Hi Everyone, So far it appears like I've only been accepted into the part-time RN program at MDC.edu (Miami Dade College) for August 2011 (Fall 2011). There is another LONG thread for MDC Fall 2011, but it isn't specific to the part-time program...

It is a bit of a surprise this thread is still open. yes, I graduated from MDC. Great GPA. who hoo! No retaking classes. Who hoo! Passed NLEX 1st attempt 75 Questions. Who Hoo. In retrospect, here are my opinions about RN School: MDC was a Better ...

On the list of Universities that accept WGU.edu credits, what does the asterisk mean? usually it is some fine print, right?

Thanks for all the input. It helps new grads decide what unit/department is a better fit.

ElixRN Thank you for your courage in sharing your story of failure and more importantly overcoming that failure to find success. You not only risked failure but also risked chastisement by sharing your experience. If everyone is "tight-lipped" about...

Hi yogapants14, Certainly I am curious about this concept. Is it possible that some decision-makers may not accept a more "mature" SRNA? What about job prospects? Will employers hire an "older" SRNA? How do we find out these answers? OR do we choos...

Hi, Thank you to all who provided input as I am in the process of making decisions for my next "steps". It was a lively and sometimes heated debate. Great food for thought. FEM

Stargazer, You have no idea how much your comments mean to me!!! "Think I'd make a great ICU or OR RN because of detail-oriented, methodical nature ... balances out my OCD nature ... good enough vs perfection". While I tend to do well on prioritizat...

Hi, I think I opted for the "use it for a year" for $100. You can "use it for less time" (3 months? 6 months? I forget exactly) and pay less. My feedback about NCLEX 10,000 is this... it must be a competitor to Kaplan, Feuer, or other ...

Kimberly, THANK YOU so much for posting your scores. I've been doing high 60's low 70's on the Qbanks. And then I tried the NCLEX sample test 1 & 2 and did pretty badly 52/54. It shook me up. So I then immediately did a QBank of 50 questions and ...

Hi, I'm doing well on the Kaplan Qbanks. high 60's low 70s. But I really blew it on the NCLEX "Sample Tests". It seemed so much harder than the Qbanks. I thought... oh, I'm having a bad day... but just to test that theory, I did a 50 Question Qban...

Just went to FL Dept of. Health website and I do not find retention rate for MDC. It did show that MDC was approved & not on probation. I do believe they are very reputable. MDC brags they have been teaching nursing students for 50+ years. A fr...

Hi, You may consider NCLEX-RN 10,000 by PrepU. It is CAT=computer adaptive testing. It was referred to me. I'm going to try it. Ask me in 30 days what I think of it. LOL I want to focus on my weak areas. And less focus on questions in ...

Hi. Thanks for all the discussion on pro's and con's of South Florida Nurse Practitioner Programs. I have a BA (Bachelors of Arts) in Business at FAU a long time ago.. Recently graduated from MDC ADN program. I have 2 classmates considering the UM N...

It is frustrating when the same source (ATI) states 2 different approaches to implementation. And yes, I've observed this type of conflict even in the same textbook & edition.... Just a different page. When I've pointed this out to 2 or 3 differe...

lai03, thanks for the tip. I have a few friends who graduated in December 2012, took NCLEX & passed 1st time end of February. Surely they have started looking for work?! yet nobody has mentioned this fact to me til now. As far as phlebotomy, the...

Hi. I'm studying the same topic. Per ATI's book = RN Maternal Newborn Nursing Edition 8.0, p173, it states the initial Nursing Action is to "reposition the client in to Left Lateral Position". The ATI non-proctored test says the next step is to D/C ...

I believe SLS is "student life skills". Meaning you learn how to be a good student. Studying skills. Time management. Test taking strategies. or whatever. If you barely graduated from high school, you should take this class. If you have a college de...

OMG, I can't imagine trying to do the Phlebotomy / EKG course at the same time as going to RN school. I don't know maybe MDC.edu is a really hard RN school. At least it is fairly inexpensive.

Welcome to Florida Medical Training Institute doesn't show how much it costs. and I dislike getting on some email list just to find out. Anybody recall how much it cost for the phlebotomy/EKG program. Is it really only 2x a week for 4 weeks? The web...
