   Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Research

   Thank you so much! I'm definitely going to look into these. My interview was pushed back due to the holiday week (I forget that most people aren't required to work holidays).

   Thanks so much for the input! I had no idea courses like that existed. Do you have (or know anyone that has had) any experience with these courses? Looks like there are several programs offered but I always appreciate referrals from people with first...

   Quendi posted a topic in Research

   Hey guys! Man, the last time I posted on this website was before nursing school. What a journey! I am looking for some insight from anyone with experience in the clinical research field. A bit of background, before becoming a nurse I achieved a Maste...

   Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Florida

   Hey! I don't mind answering some questions. :) I know very few people who were accepted had any sort of prior clinical experience. They don't really require it, and you never really have the opportunity to talk about it, so you should be just fine. ...

   The community polos have not arrived yet, and I assume the same goes for the ID tag. We will likely receive more information about it next week. :)

   Just wanted to pop in and answer this for you. I am currently entering the 2014 ABSN program at FAU. 2015 will be the first time they will be doing a Spring semester start to the program. It seems they are performing a pretty big overhaul with the fo...

8. FAU Accelerated - What did you use to study for the FAU TEAS V?

   Quendi replied to Grindaholic's topic in Florida

   Lol. No problem. I had to figure this all out myself, and really could have used some of this information when I was applying. :) Best of luck!

9. FAU Accelerated - What did you use to study for the FAU TEAS V?

   Quendi replied to Grindaholic's topic in Florida

   I used the ATI study manual and online practice tests only. I got a 96% adjusted score (99th percentile). I started studying three weeks in advance (I dedicated about 1-2 hours of study most days of the week), and felt amply prepared by test day. I ...

    Well, the labs are the only thing that vary, so those are the only times you are waiting on. I would call, since most people I have talked to have theirs, or had holds that may have held up their registration.

    Everyone I've talked to has their schedules. You have to check MyFAU under Self Service > Registration. As for the books, the ATI books are completely separate than the textbooks for our classes. The ATI books are used to prepare for the NCLEX, wh...

12. Nowadays, in S. Florida, do hospitals prefer BSNs, or is the RN all that matters?

    Quendi replied to Grindaholic's topic in Florida

    From what I've seen, hospitals are really trending towards hiring BSNs. With such a competitive job market, you really want to give yourself the best chance possible. The number of BSNs entering the nursing job market increases by leaps and bounds ea...

    I will have the rented ones until August 1st. I figure I can always rent again, or purchase if I decide the text is something I will use in the future. I did purchase some, however, that I am positive I will reference once I begin my career (ANA ones...

    Hey Daniela. Did you see my post on the Facebook group? I used Chegg.com. They were cheaper than amazon and bookbyte. :) The only one they don't have in stock is the Florence Nightingale book, which I purchased through amazon instead.

    Is anyone having trouble opening the syllabus for NUR 3115? edit: I had to download it and open it to be able to see it. I'll leave this info here in case anyone else runs into this issue (I believe it was related to the file size).
