1. Florida State University College of Nursing

   sherilyn321 replied to courtsnickity's topic in Florida

   Remember that FSU has an ABSN. You can complete a degree (one that you enjoy more than biology) and apply to the advanced program. It only adds one more year, and you're ahead a year so it works nicely. I would recommend talking to their advisors abo...

2. FSU Fall 2013 Applicants

   sherilyn321 replied to summeroliver's topic in Florida

   From what I can see on the application, FSU does not require TEAS for freshmen or transfers. The online application for transfers only asks for your basic information and to list your academic history (just the name of school, dates of attendance, a...

3. Has anyone heard back from FSU (Florida State University) nursing yet?

   sherilyn321 replied to lllchillylll's topic in Florida

   I'm going to bump this super old thread. I am considering applying to FSU for 2013. It appears their rules have changed dramatically since this thread began. They do not require HESI. They allow mostly freshmen and the program starts once a year. ...

4. Anyone from Galen College of Nursing in Tampa Area

   sherilyn321 replied to swirlynrs's topic in Florida

   I looked at Galen about a year and a half ago and I was quite impressed. I wish I would have started the program then, because I would’ve been close to done by now! I’m going to take the PAX-PN at Galen tomorrow. I took the TEAS at Erwin and score...

5. A&P prof's inappropriate response to request for alternative to animal dissection

   sherilyn321 replied to sarailyse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Sorry. That sucks. Since the course is not required for you, might think of dropping the course. In the professor's defense, you knew you were going to have to dissect things and you probably should've dropped the class after getting the syllabu...

   sherilyn321 replied to Restoration's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Do you want to do a bridge from LPN to RN and get credit for those LPN courses? There are some schools [i'm in Florida] that require an LPN to work full time for one year in order to do the LPN-RN bridge. Otherwise, you just do the straight RN prog...

7. Sooner Or Later

   sherilyn321 replied to cdgpatterson's topic in Pre-Nursing

   August 2011 is NOT that far away. Considering you have 4 kids & the classes are only a few weeks long, I don't think it's a good idea to take all the classes in one go. Remember, it's not just about taking the classes... it's about getting A's ...

8. Telling your employer that you're going to nursing school

   sherilyn321 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi there! So I plan to start an evening LPN program in August, while still working during the day. I work until 3:30 p.m. and my REGULAR schedule does not interfere with my plans to go to nursing school. However, sometimes I have to travel for mee...

    I will be sending off my paperwork to challenge the CNA in Florida. Beforehand, I'm taking a CNA "crash course" that is 7 hours. Eeek!

13. CNA to LPN/LVN?

    sherilyn321 replied to Jessfulce's topic in LPN/LVN

    In Florida, it is not required to have a formal education as a CNA to challenge the state licensing exam. However, I would say it's strongly recommended to take some CNA training before challenging the exam. Just personally, I would think after a f...

14. How do I apply for a position with no med experience?

    sherilyn321 replied to kimmy436's topic in CNA/MA

    Do you have any volunteer work? Check out your local Red Cross or United Way to see if there are any volunteer opportunities at a local hospital or nursing home. Maybe your CNA instructor can write you a letter of recommendation?
