It was last Fall, 2006, when Aventura was closed (except for ER emergencies) by JCAHO. There were a few patients that had excessive restraints -- one patient eventually died while in restraints and being overdosed on Dilantin. I remember having my cl...

Memorial Hospital Miramar is very nice --- new facility with advanced technology, all computer charting, and had 97% customer service satisfaction...or so they told us in orientation! Let me know if you want to apply. I'm also working at Memorial but...

I also had 4 or 5 "select all that apply". I also had ONE math question and one "exhibit" question (a table with lab values and cxr results). I also passed with 75 questions.

Also, remember MDC will likely start their BSN program in Spring '08. I'm just finishing my ADN here at MDC (5 more weeks to go!), and from what I heard from instructors, it will be more affordable for MDC students, especially if you're doing the RN-...

Hi, Remember applying to accel. can increase your chances of getting it aside from applying to the generic program. Remember, for accel., you still need to complete CHM1033 and MCB2010 before graduation. With the accel. program, it is VERY, VERY, VER...

Ltorres, I am going into the last semester at MDC. The classes are more intense than difficult (feels like we have an exam every week), but doable. For semester 3, about 6 out of 48 people failed in each sequence (12 total). It is difficult, but prac...

There are some people in both the generic and accelerated program in MDC with less than a 3.0. I know personally some students excelling (A's and B's) in nursing classes even though their B.A/B.S. grades were less than stellar. I advise you to apply ...

Hey, Hex! I used to be in the accelerated program at the same time as you, but switched to the generic one. What is the minimum passing rate you need for the ATI exam in order to graduate? I'm (hopefully) graduating in May.

Hi, I am in the 3rd semester of the ADN at MDC. :w00t: I was in the accelerated in the 1st semester but transferred to the Generic (accelerated was TOO fast -- 10 chapters a week assigned the first DAY of class!). The generic is 16 months long as opp...

Hi, I am in my 3rd semester (out of 4) at MDC. It is an excellent, AFFORDABLE program! I was in the accelerated and decided the pace was too fast and switched to the generic program. It's only 4 months longer than the accelerated with the same degree...

Good luck, everyone! If you have any questions on any classes/professors, just PM me.

CONGRATULATIONS, EVERYONE!!! :balloons: I'm in the 2nd semester (Med-Surg) at Medical Campus and I can tell you, it's HARD, but worth it! MDC's NCLEX passing rate has jumped last year and they will prepare you very well!!! Fundamentals, Pharm.Math, S...

What's the program?? I wish I knew a program to help me with tuition! I'm currently a MDC student and I switched from accelerated to generic this january. Still difficult, but not as fast as accelerated! :uhoh21:

Miami Dade College is also starting a BSN program in 2007.

Miami Dade College has an accelerated ADN program (1 year) and a typical full-time program (16 months). I attend MDC with a previous bachelor's in psychology. The pre-requisite list for applicants with a bachelor's degree is short. hope this helps, b...

Actually, for the second part of the question the blood remaining is not 200 ml. But 237mL. Blood already infused (mL) = {infusion rate (13gtt/min) x 15 min (time elapsed)} / 15 gtt/mL = 13 mL 250mL -13mL = 237 mL (blood remaining) 50 mL is th...

I'll be starting an accelerated ADN program in Jan. that ends in Dec. 2006! We have two days of clinical and two days of lecture. Our skills lab is on wednesdays for 4 hours and mandatory skills practice at the lab once a week. Recently, we just got ...

My GPA was lower than what people might think you need to get into MDC. I'm not sure what it was exactly when I submitted by application, but it was around a 3.3~3.5. It helped to do well in the sciences, and they also look at each application indivi...

Hello Miamimom! From what I remember, you need the Hep.B, Varicella (vaccine and titer), MMR (vaccine and titer), TB skin test and tetanus shot. The titers are to show that you currently are not affected by the disease and you need to show a lab repo...

Yes, you have to have all your pre-reqs done before applying. I found out in early November, and the deadline is September 1st. The generic option should definitely be looked at. If I ever feel overwhelmed in the accelerated option, I would try the g...

Hi pnayfl, I just got accepted into the accelerate nursing program for Jan. 2006 at Miami Dade. We had orientation this week. It does NOT having waiting list and they're now extending the accelerated program to accept people in the fall as well! A ...
