   olive_nurse replied to joifulgirl's topic in Florida

   P.S. I recommend a book to start practicing math until you start. It's probably about $10. It's called Math for Nurses (Kaplan). It will help you figure out where you're at in math, building upon a foundation and it's pretty easy to understand. H...

   olive_nurse replied to joifulgirl's topic in Florida

   Well, I would say don't make a fuss about anything. I see other students who question professors' directives and it doesn't work out well for them in the end. Professors talk to other professors so make sure you remain positive with whomever you ta...

   Gosh...advice. Here's a couple tips from a person who is 8 months into the program: 1. Don't buy that package of books together. Buy things as you need them. Some books they say you need but you don't use them at all or use a couple pages which y...

   olive_nurse replied to joifulgirl's topic in Florida

   Buy the pharmacology book and start looking at it. Get familiar with the drugs, how they work, etc. I'm in Process II right now and wish I took care of Pharm before I started my semester. It's a killer.

    Actually, I heard that the order is: North, South and then Central. I don't think it's a rumor for Central either as I heard that it has the largest fail rate our of all campuses. South filled up first because from what everyone is saying, they ar...

    olive_nurse replied to RN2BFawnie's topic in Florida

    I think it was about that. When I spoke to admissions this morning, they said that 750pp applied for 250 spots. They also said at 9-10 points, ties began to form and then they had to look at other things like if the applicant took the other additio...

    It's going to be tough working and completing your first semester in nursing. I mean, when will you sleep? I would consider getting a student loan to cover your living expenses for the first 3-4 months of the program. After you get through your fi...

    I think you have a good chance. I know a few people that have decided to go elsewhere. Besides, what else can you do but hope someone declines their admission?
