I am currently finishing my prereq's for USF's BSN program. I am 26, married with a beautiful 3yr old daughter. I previously attended USF and recently completed my BA in psychology. But my passion and interest is the medical field!

  3. CNS in pain management??

    Thanks alot for that information. That actually put it in perspective now. So you get your Master's and then certify in the specialty area if you wish? Which would be the pain management? Another quick question, can a CNS prescribe medicine?

  5. Dream8 I am glad you started this thread. I was wondering the same thing. I have been so interested in becoming a nurse but recently was doubtful. I was getting an ugly picture of an aggressive cut-throat profession...where almost no one is on yo...
  6. Quitting? Bummed out. :o

    Your situation sounds vaguely familiar! My husband was in the army and he was stationed in Germany for 3 years. I moved overseas several months after having our baby. But toward the end of his tour I decided that I needed to come back to the states a...

  9. Any dirt on HCC

    Great info. I wasn't aware that I may be attending the plant city campus. I live in the citrus park area so I wonder how far of a drive that will be. How do you like the campus over there? Well I will definitely be keeping in touch! Thanks

  11. Any dirt on HCC

    I was also thinking of applying to UT for next fall, but I am sure I can't manage 26K per year. But I heard that they do give away alot of scholarships and financial aid..although I don't know how true that is. Well HCC is just scary sometimes!
  12. Any dirt on HCC

    Well I definitely can identify with the problems plaguing HCC, that's why I was wondering if the RN program was considered the same...if they were any good at all. I may just suck it up for the sake of finishing a program, but if the word on their pr...

  15. What's the average waiting time?

    Hey guys, I was curious to know how long it took everyone else to get into a nursing program. I just applied to the spring program for USF, but I didn't get in, instead I am an alternate kinda far down on the list. I was missing 2 prereq's for their...
