Colette my dear, our life is not exactly about to be postponed. Yes, to succeed you need to live, breathe and love nursing, you are gonna sleep with your books and maybe start drinking coffee. But! Don't believe all the gloomy posts people put on the...

Ha ha! I apreciate your invitation, but I'm fairly certain they have manikins to practice on. LOL I will definitely let you take my vitals

Florida Atlantic University - Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing - Current Students here is some info on your attire. It says nothing about on-campus dress-code. you can also find info on drug screens, background checks and health records. it is...

Congrats everyone! I'm still waiting on that info packet. Are they supposed to send it via snail mail? I can tell what would be in there. You will need background check, drug screen, vaccinatons, TB screen and CPR card. I suggest do your vaccines as...

You will be able to get in if you nail the TEAS. In generic they have people with similar gpa. There is also part time option. Unfortunately in accelerated (where I am) there is no one with gpa below 3.9. So good luck. Take teas ASAP and retake it la...

I went to the one in Little Havana. They first said they can't do it. But yesterday they took all my paperwork to put the case together. I already paid for all my stuff, but gave them an unpaid schedule of classes. If they are gonna pay, MDC will giv...

This sux: I got a call yesterday from the South Florida Workforce. They have changed their procedure. Now you have to look for a job with them for 4 months before they send you to school. So the first semester of nursing school is a self-paid ride. W...

To get recorded stuff from MDC, you gotta go play with your "iTunes U". Browse by school name and you will find gabazillion things to listen. It is free and gets downloaded to your iTunes automatically if you subscribe

I'm eyeing the pile of my nursing books and I have to admit, I'm mildly intimidated. I started to read Fundies, listen to MDC podcasts (NCLEX ?? of the week and some lectures). It was pretty cool to meet my new accelerated classmates. Everyone was s...

Rnati! I'm having a CPR class in North Campus this Saturday, I guess i'll see you there!!!

I don't have the link anymore, but you can just google the "fundamentals of nursing MDC"

rnati The south Fl workforce is for people who were unable to find a job in their field and now are ready to take the last step - retraining. You must be unemployed at the time of application. At least thats what they told us at the orientation. I re...

jkay5 try this link http://www.southfloridaworkforce.com/w/locationscareercenter.html

hey Jkay5! Read my previous messages, i think i poisted their phone number somewhere.

hey everyone, after much thought i decided to take the accelerated route. How bad can it be? :)

By the way, Generic program is FULLY paid for by the south fl workforce, so is accelerated. I just found out

There is no deadline, but you have to keep in mind that it takes a while for them to approve you (they have to make sure you really can't find a job). I don't know if they cover accelerated. You are going to have to call them.

Went to the south florida workforce orientation this morning. people, if you are not earning any money, go get yourself a scholarship from them. No brainer!

You don't need to register, you just walk in. 11th floor (i think the operator mentioned that). So come take a peak! I'll be there.

there is no straight forward cluster of info on that website, thats for sure. you just have to come and talk to them and attend the orientation. and, according to what they say, you can't be earning any money. but i'd still check into it. the little...

The South Florida workforce scholarship is awarded as a retraining credit. You have to attend an orientation at one of their offices, register and sit with a councelor. I called three offices. One of them told me that Accelerated option is not covere...

jael11 , i have my bls on 11/5 too! i will see you there. and yes, we have to do the background check that mdc provides. ive done all my labwork in one day. my doc just did all the titers, no vaccines, and xray for the tb. you dont need to have two c...

Dolfinz, talk to me! What made you pick one over another? I'm in the same boat, and have to make a decision in a couple of days. I need some feedback.

I spoke to an a/o grad today. Met him at a cath lab when volunteering. He got his program paid thru south florida workforce. Unless they have changed their guidelines, I should be fine. I ordered my steth, made a doc appointment, scheduled a CPR and...
