1. Psych Nurse Tampa Florida (Veterans Affairs)

   Shaunna replied to 2TallOH's topic in Florida

   I know I'm a little late to this thread, but if anyone is still curious maybe this'll help. I can't speak for Tampa, but I imagine it's not too much different from Gainesville. For a brand-spanking new BSN RN in Gainesville's VA hospital, the pay s...

   Pretty sure there were a couple people in the program this year who were originally waitlisted, so don't give up yet!

   Yup, everyone in the group (who is actually in the program or ***) is an administrator; I think that's the only way people in the group can send out messages to the whole group on facebook.

   Congratulations guys! Now you just have to enjoy the freedom until classes start! Don't forget to invite your advisor if you make a facebook group. :-)

   Pretty sure they did go out on Wednesday as scheduled, as **** took the rest of the week off. They're coming, be patient. Pretty soon you'll be pulling your hair out in nursing school wondering why you were so eager to get there in the first place...

   I remember how horrible this wait was! People that are in Gainesville should be getting their letters tomorrow or Friday since they were supposed to go out today. Good luck everyone! I look forward to meeting the next crop of baby nurses!

7. New Grad looking to start RN career in Gainesville Florida

   Malcom Randall VA Medical Center is the other hospital in Gainesville. Their website is: http://www.northflorida.va.gov/ They take new grads into their residency program (selection process already complete), but I don't know if they take them otherw...

   Yeah, it shouldn't be too hard to find a place to couchsurf for a night or two while you're looking. I've never found anything on Craigslist, but there is a free service called Apartment Hunters that can help you find places to look. If you're in t...

   Might be different for you guys, but we only had to take two grad classes, I think. I think both are three credits, so only about 6 credits total. Much cheaper that way! UF's standard cost breakdown is here: http://www.sfa.ufl.edu/apply/coa.html G...

    You do get a bigger envelope if you get in....to hold all the forms to fill out, instructions etc. I dunno about being denied. I imagine it probably would be smaller though, yeah.

    You really don't want to start in the summer! Trust me!

    Shaunna replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida

    The requirements aren't too expensive. You'll need a stethoscope. Most people get one in the $70 range, mine was a bit nicer (a cardiology scope ~$150), but totally unnecessary to spend that much. You can get really cheap ones, but I think the $50...

    Hey Madden, Good luck! I have a part-time job, as do several other people. It really depends on what you can handle. The first semester (summer for us) was terrible, I would not recommend a job then. The second semester it is really pretty easy to...

14. Anyone applied to the University of Florida's accelerated BSN for summer 2009?

    Shaunna replied to frogger15's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hey KWBella, I used Barron's Passkey to the GRE. It's a tiny little book that's about $8 new. It's small enough to bring everywhere and page through, and not too intimidating to read all the way through. I also used the free Powerprep software ava...

    You guys are lucky! I graduated last May, then started right into the program with no break. It really sucked; I wish I had had a summer off.
