   After you get out of orientation, which is about 2 weeks, you'll shadow for 2 or 3 shifts, depending on where you work they may have you shadow an ARNP, OR, etc., and then you'll begin with your preceptor. Once assigned to your preceptor, you will ba...

   ReigN719 replied to rewob716's topic in Male Students

   I started at 38, and am now in my final semester, and from being in the clinical setting have found that many, both male and female changed careers or started out late. So go for it and good luck!! It's been a very rewarding journey!

   ReigN719 replied to nurseforchrist2015's topic in Florida

   I don't think that's necessarily true. Sure in Nursing 1 you just started to critically think, but at least in 2 the information and material make more sense. Nursing I was just blah to me, because it wasn't anything I could relate to. At least with ...

   For Nursing I, you'll have to be up to date on your vaccinations if you haven't had any recently (Measles, Rubella, Chicken Pox, Hepatitis B, Tdap). You will also need to do TB Screening, take the CPR class, have a Physical Exam done, Flu Shot, N95 F...

7. Central Florida need some advice

   ReigN719 replied to livinmydream's topic in Florida

   Not that there's anything wrong with LPN, but if RN is your end goal then you should definitely shoot for that. I'm not sure if the LPN is any easier to get into, but would probably use the bridge option as Plan B, and try to go the ADN route first. ...

   I haven't been on here in a while, but if you're still curious about the scheduling I can try and dig up my old calendars. I'm currently in Nsg IV at Valencia, and taking a break from studying and decided to see what's going on in the forums.

    ReigN719 replied to allerina's topic in Florida

    Be sure to check your emails towards the end, if not the very end of each semester. I was originally accepted to start in Aug 2013, and received an email at the end of the semester in Dec 2012 but didn't reply in time, and then received another email...

    ReigN719 replied to Heidilevi1980's topic in Florida

    You're welcome! The tests are definitely different from the normal memorization that we learned all throughout school. Instead of only one right answer, there are 4 right answers and you have to choose the best one according to the situation. For m...

    ReigN719 replied to Heidilevi1980's topic in Florida

    Where to start. Well since I can only speak on Nursing I, I can tell you that it's definitely a good amount of work, and only gets harder if you don't put in the time. They tell you when you first start that you should dedicate 3 hours of studying fo...

    It's been a good journey, rough but worth it. Mid-term evaluations were last week, and we lost some classmates. If you guys have any questions, def don't hesitate to ask.
