Quinnk27, I got my Florida license today. I think it took less than 10 days total

A friend of mine is interested in applying next year, most likely AG-ACNP...

She wanted to know approx about applicants they had and about how many they accept into the part time program..

Does anyone know these details?

Hey guys!

I spoke with Daphne and she said check you email on Monday when the APP class starts. They will send out directions for blackboard and how to begin.

Daniella, I am not sure how many people apply or get in to the program for acute care. I was told that not nearly as many people apply for acute as the FNP. With there being less spots I'm not sure if it is any less competitive. I think the best way to improve your odds is to have your application in on day one because the process took so long for me I feel like it was all last minute and there were less spots left. I may be wrong though.

I am curious if any of you guys know anything about Kendall Regional Medical Center. I was offered a travel position there today and it's the closest job I have found to campus by like 30 minutes so I want to accept it. The problem is it's tough for me to pull the trigger on a job and rent a home sight unseen. Can anyone give me any insight on this hospital? It is in their medical icu.

I hear ya...thanks for you input Quinnk! I agree there are less applicants since they require at least 1 year critical care experience.

Has anyone gotten the email with institutions to get into blackboard?

I got an email from the Writing Express professor, but can't access it since I haven't gotten the blackboard details..

What about you guys?

I accessed it. Marta Medina sent us an email on October 16 with Blackboard instructions. I used that to get into all the APP stuff

Daniella8724 · Oct 27, 2015

Thanks Elpeet! I guess we were only granted access starting today. I tried to log on a couple days ago with the directions form Marta and it didnt work.. Obv I was too early! LOL!

Got in this time.. Thanks!

Hi guys,

I already live in downtown miami, so I got that part down. For those looking to relocate, please be aware of some misleading posts in craigslist, cuz it happened to a friend. Some posts answer with an auto reply that ends up being a link to subscribe to roomster.com or other site.

On another hand, We are in week 1 of the APP course, and in writing express I see there is no writing assignment yet.

Best of luck

How is everyone doing with the prep course? I rented the books for our first semester from Amazon. Only $41 total for both books which is much cheaper than the school bookstore rental. Shipping is included too. I'm Looking forward to starting next month. Just finally settled into my house here and started a travel position in Kendall regional hospital ICU. I hope everyone is doing well!

Hey! This prep course is a lot more work than I anticipated haha but def helpful. Yeah I just ordered my books with a store called Book Horizons which is an off campus bookstore across the street. I'm excited to finally move down there next week an start in the ICU at baptist south Miami :) Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Nice! Yeah I have not been able to get too far in the course because of moving down here from New York. Just this week I started doing it daily. Hopefully baptist isn't hurting as bad as Kendall is because patient ratio here is usually 3 to 1. Good luck with your move and get ready to learn some Spanish!

Josie9411 · Dec 8, 2015

Oh I'm sure you'll be fine the prep is more just busy work. An yeah they told me they were a little under staffed so some days it'll be 3. I'm new to ICU so it'll be a cool experience!
