   Jane Doe 1 replied to dfinch's topic in Florida Nursing

   You definitely do not need to have a care, many students this semester do not. This last year, there were three hospital clinical sites: Shands, the VA and North Florida. Shands and the VA are right...

   Jane Doe 1 replied to Loloberry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   My first degree was all scholarship. Now I use federal and private student

3. Is it like this at every school or is it just mine?

   Jane Doe 1 replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

   I know how gen ed classes work, but nursing school is not the same. They have limited faculty and can't offer a bunch of sections for one course every semester. To make up for this they lump the...

4. Is it like this at every school or is it just mine?

   Jane Doe 1 replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

   I don't understand what you're talking about. I never get to pick what time's I go to things. Schedules are determined by the college and you go when and where you are

5. Standing out in nursing school

   Jane Doe 1 replied to UumiNurseX's topic in General Students

   I can understand why some of these things annoy you. I hate it when one of my classmates clings to me in clinical out of fear. I also can't stand when people are afraid of psych patients. They have a...

   Jane Doe 1 replied to dfinch's topic in Florida Nursing

   I haven't heard anything at all about it being switched back to a summer start date. I find that to be highly unlikely, but never say

7. Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

   Jane Doe 1 replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

   No one really has any pity for smokers. It's a terrible habit in so many ways, and in this day and age everyone learns all the drawbacks of smoking before they ever start. I think a person should be...

8. is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

   Jane Doe 1 replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

   Medical school is completely different, and yes it is much more difficult. It's not even a fair comparison. Nursing school is hard too, but let's not get ahead of ourselves

9. University of Florida Accelerated BSN Program Fall 2011

   Jane Doe 1 replied to dfinch's topic in Florida Nursing

   I am currently in UF's ABSN program. Even though they recently tweaked the curriculum, everything has been great so far and I would definitely recommend it. A 1250 GRE score is good, I wouldn't bother...

10. What is left and right mean????!

    Jane Doe 1 replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    Left and right are always from the point of view of the patient. Health care can be so confusing to people that we don't need to throw in a "your left means my right" dilemma too. It's also a good...

11. Nursing school requires projects, writing, research, speech???

    Jane Doe 1 replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At 16, this stuff would have really scared me too. Keep working hard in the classes you are taking now, and you will improve. Don't let nursing school intimidate you if it's what you really want to...

12. Psychiatric Background Check For First Degree BSN

    Jane Doe 1 replied to natasharostova's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think that would be a problem. There are no psychological tests required that I have heard of. You just need to have your physician sign off on the physical. You can always contact the school...

13. What is your policy on discussing grades with classmates?

    Jane Doe 1 replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    I usually only get asked by people I study with, and I don't mind telling them. I usually do pretty well and it can be awkward if they say they did really bad and then ask you, and you got a high A....

14. Duped nursing student

    Jane Doe 1 replied to nursingishard's topic in General Students

    It sounds like there's a lot going on here. Maybe you should see a counselor, that could let you talk a lot of it out. A lot of colleges have free counseling services available to

15. Was your nursing school like this?

    Jane Doe 1 replied to TheSmilingToast's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My school only assumes you know the material from the required pre reqs, and even then they sometimes give you a chance to brush up. I would go to the instructor's office and let them know of your...
