   I bought the all-white Brooks Addiction Walker for my clinicals. I have been very happy with them.

3. Anyone taking an EMT too?

   RDW13 replied to Mariposa88's topic in General Students

   Our class required ambulance ride alongs with at least 5 transports to the hospital, and we also had to do clinicals in the ER for three 8-hour days. I think it would be beneficial to have more clinical time/ride alongs, but our area is swamped with ...

4. chances of getting into a bsn program

   RDW13 replied to Med Succor's topic in Florida

   I can only speak to South Florida (I'm assuming USF in Tampa). The 2.5 GPA is the lowest to apply, but with so many applicants, you really need a GPA of 3.4 or higher. I was in the same boat as you with a lower GPA and I had a BS degree in Business a...

5. Anyone taking an EMT too?

   RDW13 replied to Mariposa88's topic in General Students

   I took the EMT-B class just before starting the Nursing program. I had to wait one semester before Nursing school started after I was accepted, so I figured it would be a good thing to do. It helped me in a few ways. One, it confirmed that I really w...

   RDW13 replied to dessyrell's topic in General Nursing

   Also, if you have homeowner's insurance, you may be able to get better coverage for less money by adding it to your existing home policy. Check with your insurance agent to see if that is an option.

   The two main books you will use are the Perry and Potter package and the Lewis Med Surg book. All of the other books are optional, but you will need a nursing diagnosis book, drug book and other reference books, but you can use whichever ones you lik...

8. Does anyone wear MBT shoes?

   RDW13 replied to blueberry21's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I tried them on and loved them for the short time I walked around the store. I needed an all-white pair for school, and I was afraid to spend the money and be told I could not wear them because of the color. I plan on getting a pair after graduation ...

   Cari: They will tell you at orientation the day and time you can register. You need to be logged in and ready to register for the class you want at the exact moment they tell you the class will be open for registration. This is specific to Nursing an...

    RDW13 replied to sgmanda's topic in Florida

    Cari: You won't get the syllabus until the first day of class. The bookstore should have all the books you need to buy there, so you can go there and get the ISBN numbers and then check them out on eBay or any used bookstore online to get better deal...

    RDW13 replied to sgmanda's topic in Florida

    Congrats Cari! I am at the Dale Mabry campus - the overall program should be the same, but the instructors are different. Your orientation will more than likely be at Dale Mabry. The requirements are the same, but I believe the syllabus is different ...

    Come on in...the water is fine! In my class of 33, at least 6 are over forty, and a few more real close to it. One is over 50 and I am 42, and there have been no issues with age so far. We all just have a desire to help others, regardless of how old...

13. Any Feedback on the Saunders Comprehensive Review 4th Ed?

    RDW13 replied to ginsey's topic in NCLEX

    I have the new 4th edition, but I don't have any of the older ones, so it is hard to compare. The CD has 4,214 questions in the pool that you can individualize. I'm not sure how many there were in the 3rd edition, but I do think someone said there we...

14. Do you carry liability insurance?

    RDW13 replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone actually had to use the insurance they bought from NSO? Did they live up to their word about what they cover? How hard is it to convince them that you really need an attorney when something when wrong? I see in the policy that they get to ...

    gaijingal Do you have a specific make/model number for the Shox's that are all white with the leather tongue? I looked at the Nike web site and could not find them.
