   idbeme replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you!!!! Carter and Clinton BOTH tried to push through reform of the healthcare and insurance industry. Its not like Obama came into office magically dreamed up healthcare reform and poof...it happened! And for those that are upset about the hi...

4. Maternity Insurance

   idbeme replied to NightNurseRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   There are maternity riders, and they can be very expensive. There are also discount programs that you basically pre-pay a monthly amount to a company that is contracted with certain providers. Word of advice...make sure your husband has insurance BE...

   idbeme replied to smc32488's topic in Florida

   FYI..I don't know if its for this class or the next one, but they are doing away w/ the interview process. Don't ask me why or how...but I was talking to a faculty member and she told me they are changing the admission process and there are no more ...

6. Applying for externship help

   idbeme replied to asp40's topic in General Nursing

   You sound like you are in the same boat as me...and my advice..be enthusiastic. Talk about the skills you have learned in your clinicals, and talk about the skills you still need/want to practice. Show your enthusiasm for learning how to be a nurse...

   idbeme replied to cherryfirecracker's topic in Florida

   They are teal. And they are very specific about it. Dickies and Cherokee are approved, some people also get away with Grey's Anatomy. Besides that...don't stray too far. They are very particular about uniform. There is a shop on Broward just eas...

   idbeme replied to cherryfirecracker's topic in Florida

   They may....I don't know. When I went through they sent a letter and you only had a few days to call to confirm the interview. But again, somehow mine never went out or got to me, so my persistence paid off!

   idbeme replied to cherryfirecracker's topic in Florida

   I would call. I sent in my application at the end of April as well and got in for the next to last interview May 13th or so last year. But call, because my letter for the interview never arrived and I never would have known they were interested in ...

10. What I Wish I Knew Before Nursing School!

    idbeme replied to rollydrooly208's topic in General Nursing

    This is a GREAT piece of advice. I read that here and applied it during my first clinical rotation last semester. I was respected by the nurses by the time I left. They would find me and ask me if I could do this or that to help a patient - and it...

11. Nova Southeastern

    idbeme replied to cherryfirecracker's topic in Florida

    I'm not going to get into a pi$$ing contest about who knows more about the school. But spoon fed we are NOT. We are not given reviews, we are told that there are no intervention questions on the exam and then are asked intervention questions. I ha...

12. Nova students...what do we think so far?

    idbeme replied to idbeme's topic in Florida

    Sorry to confuse you, I certainly don't want to scare you! Trust me, I wish I had nothing but glowing things to say! If you chose Nova you are going to have the opportunity to learn to be a great nurse. Just be prepared for some bumps along the way...

13. Nova students...what do we think so far?

    idbeme replied to idbeme's topic in Florida

    To be honest the program is going through some growing pains at the moment as far as the students are concerned. The A&P was tough, but fair, and if you study and A is definitely possible. They changed a lot of things this semester that were n...

    idbeme replied to cherryfirecracker's topic in Florida

    As far as spots and interviews, I started last fall, they had 100 spots and 150 interviews. I don't know what percentage they are interviewing this time around, but one of profs who is interviewing seemed to let on they were doing a lot more intervi...

    idbeme replied to cherryfirecracker's topic in Florida

    About the letters, yes - they don't get sent out until Mid June. I interviewed in the next to last group in May, so was lucky I only had to wait 3 weeks. Good luck to you all. Just make sure you ask lots of questions, be yourself, and be ready to ...
