  1. SCC? I'm a little nervous...

    I basically have to take all of the pre-req's. I'm not enrolled in anything right now for the spring semester. And I don't think I can get them all out of the way this summer during my summer vacation (I am a teacher.) But I am at least going to get ...
  2. Going to school with provisional status..

    I would be careful with that. What if the school doesn't pass the accreditation process by the time *you* are ready to graduate? This happened in Orlando with Barry University law school. People enrolled and started taking classes for their law degre...
  3. Saleries in central Florida

    Don't feel bad, I didn't notice the dates on those posts either until I got to the very end and saw the moderator's comments. LOL My eyebrows went up too when I saw someone say you could get a house here for $120,000! :roll :chuckle :smilecoffeecup:
  4. I hope it will work out for you. Someday maybe you will be a preceptor.... and you will be the kind that everyone hopes to have.
  5. Anyone ever work full time while getting their RN?

    Reading some of the posts on this thread has given me strength. I am currently working 50-60 hour weeks as a public school teacher; and am scheduled to start night school for LPN this fall. I have been very apprehensive about the idea of how I would ...
  6. FL RN Salaries....yes another salary thread lol

  7. Pre-employment personality tests

    I passed the NET reading/math sections with flying colors. I bombed the "test taking skills" part. ("frustration" level) Ha! Let's see if the powers that be can figure that one out. .....
  8. Any "snow birds" out there???

    I agree... think twice about where you end up buying. The coasts are where a lot of the insurance increases are taking place because the coast takes direct hits during hurricanes. I am in Orlando and not in a flood zone.... my house insurance is $1,...
  9. Where to start work as LPN?

    Good point, Cococure. I used to work in HR/benefits and was directly involved in posting job openings .... I saw from the inside that many times, the job requirements are a wish list. Employers claim they want X years of experience and X degree, and...
  10. SCC? I'm a little nervous...

    Cassiesky, do you know when the program filled up? I would love to go straight for my RN through this program, but it's doubtful I would be able to get through all of the prerequisites in time to apply. I wish they started it more often than once a ...
  11. Starting out

    You are smart to be making this decision when you are still so young. Good luck!
  12. Confused

    Thanks -- you are right! Thanks for the reminder. I am trying to stay focused on that. This is going to be a great year. Just think, by the end of this year, how much more progress we all will have made toward our goals. Plus along the way we will ...
  13. Confused

    I am relatively new to this, but based on my research, the only way you can get out of the pre-requisites is to go straight to LPN school. All you need to get into LPN school is to pass the NET (nursing entrance exam) test and a couple of other exam...
  14. Can you get a decent job in a hospital...

    Ladybella, I am in the same boat. I would love it if I could just afford to quit teaching this May, and go straight to work for a hospital. I haven't really researched this because my sense is, it would be difficult to match my current teaching salar...
  15. Leaving teaching to be a nurse..

    :groupwelcome: As a fellow teacher who is pursuing a career change into nursing, may I just say HEAR, HEAR! :yelclap: We teachers are very familiar with 12 hour shifts. Unlike nurses however, we only get paid for 7 or 8 hours of work on a 12 hour ...
