The scholarships with provided links on the mdc site or if you reside In broward or have a voter registration in broward then you can go to broward career source and go to their WIOA orientation and ask for the info and you can possibly get up to $8200, it's on davie extension, you can look up the address

I got a Littmann, they're a little more on the pricier side. As long as it's a dual stethoscope you should be fine!

A dual-head? Those are the results I get when I go on Amazon. I just wanna make sure I don't have to buy it twice.

Hello guys,

I got accepted into the full-time generic option at the medical campus. Can someone add me to the whatsapp group?

I went to one of the CareerSource centers and they paired me with a success coach he told me that I would not be able to qualify because I have a bachelors... I was really upset but I plan on going back to talk to someone else

First semester cost for those other future students that are wondering what the cost is.... its about $1500.

They require you to buy a bag with several kits youll need for nursing. Its about $128.

Also, this is the same as other schools Ive visited, however, for those of you that are curious....failing 2 classes will get you out of the program. Also, if you fail one class you have to skip the next semester and ONLY take that 1 class and PASS in order to continue the program.

On registration day, they open at 8am. People were waiting there since 7am in line to ensure they got the classes they wanted (sequence 1 or 2). Make sure you get there early. Some people actually were able to register online and some were not. Ive seen some inquiries about what sequence 1 and 2 are. They give the left side of the room in orientation with one color paper (sequence 1) and the other side with another color paper (sequence 2). The sequences are different teachers and different times. Sequence 1 you get Thursday off (for now) and Sequence 2 I wasn't able to see. Its so that you have some choices of teachers and some options with times but regardless of which one you choose the schedule never overlapse.

The cost of the books is about $250.

Take Micro Lab AND Psychology before the start of the program. They have a Baptist Scholarship that requires these classes.

I made the mistake of not taking the classes since I didn't know about this program. Don't make the same mistake.

When you graduate, if you pass NCLEX within 6 months MDC (for now) will reimburse you $200! Thats awesome encouragement :)

Oh! And try to keep your books because before you graduate (make sure to apply for graduation before your last semester starts or you wont be able to graduate regardless of passing your classes) you are required to take the HESI. Its basically confirming that you learned something before they release you. You need to pass it in order to graduate. If you give up your book you cant review :(

Also, starting Jan 2018 they will be breaking ground at the parking across the street to build a large parking garage for us! YEY! The bad this is that we dont know when it will be finished. Ive decided to take the Metro Rail instead. There are three exits. Santa Clara you need to walk like 2 blocks. The Civic Center youll need to walk through Jackson Memorial Hospital. CULMER exit is the way to go. Apparently MDC has a trolley that takes you to MDC :)!!! The monthly student pass that is available at the bookstore is about $60. Parking if you will be parking at the station near your house is about $12.

I hope this helps everyone that is nervous and searching for answers. I wanted to pass the information along :) Good Luck everyone.
