   I just looked at my packet and it doesn't say anything about the physical having to be done after a certain date. There is a form that needs to be filled out but most doctors will fill it in without seeing you again if you've just had a physical. A...

   Littmann's aren't cheap but they are some of the best stethoscopes, I'd recommend the Classic II. If you don't want to spend that much just make sure your stethoscope has 2 sides (a bell and a diaphragm). You can get the BP cuff anywhere, allheart.co...

   You're right. They do stress ambulation but with this patient they were afraid she would do too much and would be in severe pain once her high wore off. I guess I should reword it. Thanks!

   I started last spring and I got my letter the first or second week of December. I was a UNF student at the time so I didn't check my FSCJ email and lots of people found out before me because they got the email first.

   You probably won't hear back from them until the beginning of December (killer, I know). Check your FSCJ email, you will get the email before you get the letter. So don't panic!

   Hey guys! I'm currently in the program and have some first term books to unload. Once you are accepted let me know if you're interested. Good luck to everyone! P.S. You probably won't find out until 1-2 weeks before you need to have everything turn...

    I'm doing a care plan on a postpartum patient who had someone bring her medication from outside the hospital and midway through the shift had a dramatic change in LOC due to OD. She was hospitalized 3 times during her pregnancy for similar behavior....
