   FloridaDreamin posted a topic in NP Students

   Good evening! I am looking at applying to USA for the Spring 2021 semester but am torn between the FNP or the dual FNP-ENP program since I am primarily an ED nurse. Does anyone have any insight on the programs overall and how competitive the admissio...

2. University of South Alabama Dual NP Summer 19

   FloridaDreamin posted a topic in NP Students

   Is anyone applying to USA's dual FNP/ACNP program for summer 2019? I'm a little worried about my GPA since cumulatively it's only a 3.49 and that doesn't sound very competitive when I say it out loud. I have 4 years of total nursing experience with 3...

3. Still New...looking to switch specialities. ADVICE!?!??

   FloridaDreamin replied to FloridaDreamin's topic in Job Hunt

   I already have my ACLS, it was required on my floor. I'm going to talk to my CRC and see if she has any advice. I'm also trying to find time to get PALS since most of the ER's around here require it within so many months. Do you think it would be to...

4. Still New...looking to switch specialities. ADVICE!?!??

   FloridaDreamin posted a topic in Job Hunt

   I am coming up on a year at my first job which I am incredibly happy in and was so lucky to find. It's on a direct observation telemetry floor and has been a great place to learn how to be a nurse and focus on time management but I've always had two ...

6. First RN Interview

   FloridaDreamin posted a topic in Job Hunt

   I had my first interview for a RN position on a tele floor at a local hospital that is definitely my first choice of potential employers! Despite natural first interview nerves, I feel like it went well, I stayed composed despite some jitters and am ...

   I just recently passed the NCLEX and I am now working on resumes and cover letters for various jobs but this is the basic format & information that I have so far. I am including clinical experiences per the advice of various nurse managers (it'll...

9. PASSED!!

   FloridaDreamin posted a topic in NCLEX

   FINALLY! After months of rescheduling due to anxiety and just dreading it, I finally took the NCLEX for the second time on November 20 and passed with 75!! The first time I failed with all 265 questions, near passing in all categories...that was back...

10. People share your Kaplan Scores! :D

    FloridaDreamin replied to male_murse's topic in NCLEX

    I'm having the same problem. This will be my second time taking the NCLEX, I failed the first time with 265 questions, near passing in all categories. I took Kaplan to prepare for it this time and I'm doing horrible on the Q-trainers, all in the 50s-...

11. Failed NCLEX-RN

    FloridaDreamin posted a topic in NCLEX

    I suppose my story isn't much different than someone else's in my position but somehow it feels more tragic when it happens to you... I graduated May 5, 2014 from my ADN program. I began (seriously) studying for the NCLEX about two-three weeks after ...

12. Now I know why nobody ever gets a 4.0 at my school ...

    FloridaDreamin replied to bonjournurse2b's topic in General Students

    I feel your pain, I had a 4.0 before my first semester. An A is 93-100 B: 86-92 C:80-85 and anything below an 80 is failing. Plus you have to get 80% of possible exam points before anything else even factors in so it's tough, but I kind of understand...

    FloridaDreamin replied to vthunstrom's topic in Pre-Nursing

    In A&P2 we had to disect a fetal pig...wasn't nearly as bad I was expecting. I took A&P 2 and Micro together over the summer so it's doable, but very stressful. (I just looked at it as preparing me for the stress and workload of nursing schoo...
