   laurdra replied to StL_Momma27's topic in General Nursing

   i would second guess entering a nursing program now. the new grads are at highest numbers and no jobs are out there. google new grads and jobs and look in all of the links of all the people desperate trying to get any job they can. we cant pay our lo...

   laurdra replied to tiphanimechele's topic in Florida

   No problem! The June 2011 decisions are on the NLNAC website now. :) I will let you know how the exam goes. I am getting ready to take the final practice test. I'm fairly confident on all of the sections except the physical and chemistry science p...

   laurdra replied to tiphanimechele's topic in Florida

   I'm in the same boat as you. I like the school and the program structure. I have been waiting for them to get their accreditation before moving forward with the school and am taking my TEAS tomorrow morning. I have read some good reviews and bad r...

   laurdra replied to littlemissgator's topic in Florida

   I just wanted to add that I was wrong about Herzing's NLN accreditation. They had a site visit in February and decisions will be made in June. The new lab is very nice.

6. I hate it :[

   laurdra replied to vccorscc's topic in Florida

   I would stay in. If you can get through the program, you have other options besides traditional nursing duties. You can easily get a job on the business side of heath care with only a few business courses.

7. Nursing layoffs or difficulty getting jobs? 2011 wages?

   laurdra replied to PhantomDelight25's topic in Florida

   It's tough right now. Every industry has been affected by the recession and it takes time for things to get back to where they were. I have done a lot of research and the market for nurses is expected to turn around in 2014 after the new health car...

   Hi Littlemissgator, It's been a while since I've posted anything. I'm so glad you are enjoying the program so far. I'm postponing starting in January becuase a few days before I was supposed to take the TEAS my hubby and I found out we are going to...

    laurdra replied to littlemissgator's topic in Florida

    That's awful, I'm really sorry to hear this. You are correct that this is not normal. I always received my funds after the tuition was paid. Perhaps private school is different. Can you get a private loan in the mean time?

    Thanks for the advice! I'm studying with ATI and am taking the test on April 16th. I think I'll be ok, the only thing I need to brush up on is science.

    laurdra replied to littlemissgator's topic in Florida

    Also, how was the TEAS? I'm reviewing the ATI study guide. I took the practice test and did ok on all of the sections except science.
