2. Pre-Nursing Help in Tampa Bay

   Yvonne2014 replied to Mamaof02's topic in Florida

   I understand, I would probably attend PHSC Porter Campus (Wesley Chapel) if it was 2 consecutive days on campus and the rest online. Especially since it is about $4500 for the program I need there vs. the $17000 at the private college I am starting s...

   Yvonne2014 replied to Mamaof02's topic in Florida

   Seems like you have a grasp on the route you are going, I would also apply to SPC and even Pasco-Hernando State College since all of these colleges are competitive (upon TEAS & GPA). I have heard great things about PHSC from recent RN grads. Good...

   I have done similar research into accelerated BSN programs, ADN and RN bridge programs. HCC seems to be a great option financially, Galen and Rasmussen seemed great but are 2-3 times the cost and accelerated progs advise you not work at all during en...

7. Nursing grad for 5 years but no license

   Yvonne2014 replied to zellebee's topic in General Nursing

8. I feel so discouraged

   Yvonne2014 replied to SCP8930's topic in LPN/LVN

   Maybe look into home health shift work- 12 hr shifts, overtime is often available...you can choose you own schedule, work is not exhausting nor overwhelming. Good luck to you!!

9. I hated being a CNA, will this mean I'll hate being a nurse?

   Yvonne2014 replied to TinyLilly's topic in General Nursing
