  1. ITT RN Program

    It's an uphill battle for any school to get their accredidation when they are new. ITT in Jacksonville is accredited. I wish I was seeing better reviews about this school.
  2. Suicide and nurse's reaction

    Hi. I just wanted to post my thoughts here and be done with the way that I feel. I just rescently recovered from a drug overdose in the attempts to commit suicide. It was brought on by a nervous breakdown secondary to my medications. I have BP disord...
  3. mood stabilizers and school

    Yes. I have BP and ADHD. Through my 2 year degree, I was on adderall. Helped but made me manic. During my BSN, adderall was taken off my med list and my BP meds were adjusted. During my MSN, I suffered a nervous breakdown and it was found that my med...
  4. Nurses with Bipolar Disorder

    Hello- I was reading some old posts from some people that were about 2 years old and wanted a fresh thread on this. Any nurses out there with Bipolar (BP) Disorder? How have you managed it? What kinds of things have happened for you? I loved my job f...

    They did when I was a young nurse.
  6. Problems at work

    If it's a personal problem as others have stated, EAP is great. If it's related to co-workers or patients, there should be a toll free anonymous reporting hotline you can report to. Best wishes. HappyJaxRn
  7. ITT Tech now offering nursing program

    As an MSN-Nursing Educator Student, I'd have to say it's good and bad. We just talked about this in our politics class. We really need more nurses. Based on the research that I've been doing, the US is going to be short approximately 440,000 nurses b...
  8. Hospitalists?

    We have hospitalists. They were pretty good, most of them. I used to call them a lot when I worked nightshift. I have been on days lately and haven't had much contact. They came in very handy if a particular medical team was not answering my pages an...
  9. Peds CNS...did I make a bad decision!?!?

    I would have to agree. I am working on a similar degree and have already had many thoughts of either switching or adding another major (crazy, I know). Do what you were doing....especially being so close to graduation...or if it's really in your hear...
  10. Bored

    Okay. Here's the problem. I'm bored. I have been on my floor since 2002. 5 years as an RN. I am in an MSN program and see myself doing so much more in the future. I go to work and I feel....bored. I'm fed up with the politics. I no longer like the ad...
  11. Kaplan University MSN Program

    Hi there. I am about to complete my BSN program which has been all online at JU (Jacksonville University). I didn't like online programs at first, but this has actually been better for me since I work full time as an RN at a busy hospital and it has ...
  12. 2nd degree BSN? low gpa.

    The nursing schools that I have attended took the GPA of only the classes that they were transferring into the program. I was accepted into an ADN program in NE Florida with a 2.5 GPA and accepted into an online RN-BSN program with a 2.3 GPA. I want ...

    Hi. I graduated from FCCJ and 5 years later (now) am 1/2 way through the RN-BSN online program at JU. I pay $1230/3 credit class. I take 2 classes every 8 weeks. It is considered full time. I'm working fulltime as well. It's hard, but doable. I am le...
  14. UNF/JU/FCCJ

    Hi. I went to FCCJ and worked full time. It was hard, but graduated and became an RN. I am currenly 1/2 through the JU online RN-BSN program. It too is accellerated. I will not lie to you. It is VERY hard. Anytime you take accellerated nursing classe...
  15. FCCJ admission..

    Having been there and done that....I know a lot of things have changed since 5 years ago when I graduated from FCCJ, but the minimum admitted was a score over 190. I know several people who have applied and they have 200+ points. Just an FYI, you may...
