So deadlines are specific, you want to make sure you have the majority of your pre-reqs done ASAP. I think applications are due sometime next spring/summer. Yes, students rotate between the same hospitals, mainly: Jackson, Memorial, Broward and Miami Children's. There may be some others, but depending on where you live and your clinical subject you will be placed somewhere among those. Your class will be about 30 students and you guys will do everything in groups. It's an intensive 12 month program. It's been a lot of work, but I'm also excited that we are entering our last semester. Another thing to consider is, once you graduate you have to study for the NCLEX, sit for the exam and then wait a few weeks for your license. So you are without work for quite some time. It's a commitment. Either way, best of luck. Work hard and you'll get through.
