   kertz81 replied to deenshue's topic in Florida

   I also cannot find work. I graduated in December 2008, and took the NCLEX and passed in February. I have been applying everywhere since then. Most positions want 1 year of experience, but no one is willing to hire me so I can gain the experience. It ...

   kertz81 replied to np_wannabe's topic in Florida

   It's no problem answering questions. Like I said before, I know where you all are coming from because I was on here asking the same questions when I got accepted. It's very nerve racking! :) It's hard....I know I've said it before, and I'll say it a...

3. FCCJ nights/weekends 2008

   kertz81 replied to np_wannabe's topic in Florida

   For orientation, you don't need any books. They will give you your assignment though (yes, you will have homework before school even starts). You'll need to study dosage calc and medical terminology on your own before the term starts. Those will be t...

   Hi Np wannabe, I just wanted to give you a little boost....I am in the night/weekend program now, in my first semester, and I must say that this is the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life. I work 40 hours a week Monday through Friday, I'm ...

7. fccj first sem students!

   kertz81 replied to miss rochelle's topic in Florida

   Hey all. I'm almost done with chapter 3 of med terms. It's SO interesting. I'm loving it. It was a bit challenging at first, but now it totally makes sense! I haven't looked at dosage calc, though. I figured I should save that for next week, so that...

   kertz81 replied to I want to be a nurse's topic in General Students

   I totally understand what you're going through. I work full time during the day, and unfortunately have to keep my job to pay the bills. I'm also trying to plan a wedding for once I graduate. I'm starting classes August 27th, and I'm so nervous about...

    kertz81 replied to miss rochelle's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Well, it looks like it's going to be a lot of work right from the beginning. But, I agree on he Christmas break thing. That will be nice to have a couple weeks off in between semesters (even though I'm sure we'll still be studying). I can't wait to f...

11. FCCJ Fall 2007 letters are out!

    kertz81 replied to miss rochelle's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I totally agree with you. I'm very upset at the fact that everything is so secretive with them. And I've also gotten some wrong info from them. They told me the night/weekend program for this fall would be run out of the Deerwood campus, but then the...

    kertz81 replied to miss rochelle's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Elby, Thanks for the info. I feel a lot better about it now. I can't wait until orientation. I'm just ready to know what my schedule will be like. Then I can relax, if only for a couple weeks before classes. Actually, I'll be working asw much OT at w...

    kertz81 replied to miss rochelle's topic in Pre-Nursing

    So....now I'm confused. I didn't sign the Hep B waiver, and didn't have a titer for Hep B done, but I did get my first injection of the vaccine. I have to go back for my 2nd on the 19th of this month. I sure hope that's good enough for them!!!! What ...

    I ordered my uniforms yesterday. I did end up with the elastic ones, but I figure I should have enough time to exchange them if I totally hate them. I ordered one extra set of uniforms, so 3 total, plus one lab coat and 2 name pins and it cost $190!!...
