  1. MDC *Generic F/T* Fall 2011 ;-D

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    Exactly. Similarly, I tried to find out more about required healthcare plan but no one seemed to know. I wanted to know the minimum coverage thresholds and care levels we need. There are barebones...

  2. MDC Fall 2011 =)

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    It's strange that the background confirmation is just a couple of lines of text, no attachment, and looks completely unofficial. I kept looking all over it for something to click on that would take me...

  3. MDC *Generic F/T* Fall 2011 ;-D

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    That is such a cool idea. I love it. I like to write inside my textbooks and sometimes add tabs. A few times, I've cut out whole sections (like the glossary or index) and put them in those plastic...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    OMG, that is the best. The last vehicle I owned before I moved (from California) was an '82 Suzuki GS450L - small bike but got me everywhere. Insurance was $99 for the whole year. I wanted to get...

    Yeah, metrorail is perfect for going to Medical campus as the 'Santa Clara' station is super close. Plus metrorail has wi-fi. But going to Homestead would take me over an hour on the

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    Was the bookstore total chaos with hundreds of people trying to buy all their stuff? I haven't had a car ever since I moved here 3 years ago. I've saved so much money using the bus, metrorail, and...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    The 2012 Nissan Versa is coming out in a couple of weeks - only $11K. Then again I've been looking at some really cheap gas guzzlers. The gas hog will cost me about $600 more/year in fuel, so still...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, Homestead (my old username was 'MDCdream'). I scored pretty high on the TEAS, but it was a total fluke. I guessed on tons of the questions and would probably get below a 70 if I take it again....

  9. MDC *Generic F/T* Fall 2011 ;-D

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    Do the new scores count, and can they eliminate us at any time? (I don't go to orientation until the end of the week) P.S. Did they say when clinicals start? Shoot, I still need to buy a car,

  10. MDC *Generic F/T* Fall 2011 ;-D

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't think you'll have any trouble registering. But another option is to go to one of those Walgreen's Take Care Clinics. I brought all my paperwork in there and the nurse practitioner just did a...

  11. MDC Fall 2011 =)

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    Does anyone know from previous nursing students if we need the supplemental DVDs or codes for online access with the textbooks? Otherwise I prefer to get the paperback international edition (usually...

  12. MDC Fall 2011 =)

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    I know this is pretty ignorant, but what are 'clinicals'? Is that where we intern at hospitals and do we have to apply like a job with references, job history, and all that (I don't have any...

    whoops, I entered a mistaken post but can't seem to completely erase

    Anyone needing a laugh, have you seen

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    In my opinion, the iPod touch is super useful even if you can't use it in the hospital. I am super lazy and only use a couple of apps, but still find it invaluable. Like someone said, you can also put...

    Those links to Amazon reminded me of their "Subscribe and Save" program. There are some amazing prices on there for a lot of grocery items and other stuff:...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have an 8gb iPod touch from 2008 (2nd gen?) and it's one of the best things I ever bought. I originally got it to watch movies on long flights. A few months ago I got an iPad and a Kindle and to...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    Does anyone know how the commute is to the Homestead campus? I have never been down there but I think that part of the toll road is all unmanned (you need the pass). I looked into the bus but it looks...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    I encourage you to investigate not only to get justice for yourself but for others to follow. You will NOT be taking away anyone else's spot as the whole process is supposed to be totally objective...

  20. MDC Fall 2011 =)

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    I made some mistakes, so don't necessarily follow what I did. In hindsight I think it would have been cheaper in total if I had found one urgent care type place that did everything. I don't have...

  21. MDC Fall 2011 =)

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    You probably already know but I just wanted to make sure you didn't accidentally overlook it but the MDC page says "Measles(Rubeola), Mumps and Rubella(German Measles) blood titer lab results". So you...

  22. MDC Fall 2011 =)

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    I selected and paid for the tests through econoLABS online first. Then I went to the LabCorp site to schedule an appointment. One thing to watch out for is that econoLABS recommends whatever lab...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi. If you don't mind sharing, where did you get the TB test? I've called Miami Dade health department several times but they always transfer me to a dead-end voice mail. They are supposed to offer...

  24. MDC Fall 2011 =)

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    I got my LabCorp results from econoLABS in the mail. They sent me a thick envelope which had the results of the drug test and titers inside as well as ANOTHER sealed envelope which I can submit to...

  25. MDC Fall 2011 =)

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    I haven't heard back from econoLabs, but I'm out of town right now. I will find out what's up next week and report back if they sent the results by mail,
