   Well hummm.... Most of my clothes are brown so I probably will be wearing a brown shirt with a white button up over it, and jeans. Long brown hair. I wear a small silver necklace with 2 hearts in a circle. I am African American by the way. I hope I d...

3. Anyone from Galen College of Nursing in Tampa Area

   PrettyPrisonNurse31 replied to swirlynrs's topic in Florida

   Sweetie, all you have to do is work for a public sector such as the VA, Health Dept, Jail or Prison. The government will pay back most of your loans and they will do a little bit more each year you work with them. I wish I could remember the website,...

4. Anyone from Galen College of Nursing in Tampa Area

   PrettyPrisonNurse31 replied to swirlynrs's topic in Florida

   Well I will add my 2 cents: I did my research starinfinite...and I came up with this(congrats on your ARNP, u go gurl) Galen offers LPN to RN Bridge at 24K for 15 months. Yes, it is not accredited. You cannot go to USF for your BSN. BUT..... you can...

   PrettyPrisonNurse31 replied to Qka's topic in Florida

   Here is my 2 cents: Why don't you try working in Psych or Corrections? Think about this, Tampa turns out nearly 150 graduates of Nursing each semester, from the various colleges around. Most graduate nurses want to work in Hospitals to get the valuab...

   PrettyPrisonNurse31 replied to SteveNNP's topic in NP

   I started out as a Receptionist(and darn proud!) then I became a CNA, then a Medical Assistant, then an LPN. Do you think I am going to stop before I have ARNP behind my name, just because a few old hens in the henhouse.......uh uhh...wrong answer! K...

8. Info On LPN to Rn schools in Ocala or around

   PrettyPrisonNurse31 replied to bigmac's topic in Florida

   Well, I went to CFCC, and lets just say that my comments about it would be somewhat unfavorable. I attended there for my LPN program, and it was quite difficult. I was told that in order to get into the RN Bridge, you must take at least 9 Pre-Req's a...

13. Feeling patronized by "older" nurses

    PrettyPrisonNurse31 replied to Tortoiseshell's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, there are Nurses like that everywhere. Thats why they say Nurses eat their young. When I see a "Newbie" with the deer in the headlights looks, I go over to her in My Southern accent and say "Come on gurl lets get this done so we can go...

14. do you check after your nursing assistants?

    PrettyPrisonNurse31 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree Batman, we should not have to pick up and check up behind them. But I check them because there are some lazy ones. I have yet to hear about a facility complaining about CNA's causing decubes on patients. Its always "the Nurse should have..." ...
