Hi jboogs49! Thanks for all the useful info! It's funny I was skimming through the may 2014 thread just the other day and remember seeing you on there. I've been wondering how everyone from that thread was doing. I know some have been posting helpful advice on here as well. Glad to hear your doing great! Hope we're all that lucky! Enjoy the rest of your spring break! :)

Thank you jboogs49 for all your advice and assistance. Glad you are doing great :) It's nice to hear someone get better than a C! Do you know what field you'd like to work in yet? Or are you waiting to complete the course and experience them all? How have you found the hospital experience so far? Thank you again.

LondonFog getting a B is very possible but don't get caught up in the grade just keep getting better at understanding what works best for you regarding studying, time-management, test prep, etc. If you don't receive the grades you are looking for do some analysis and make changes then continue to work your tail off. I know that not focusing on passing the exam made a huge difference for me.

When i review a concept I don't think about if this will be on the exam or not. I think of why is this concept important to my patient, what are the primary nursing issue about this concept, anything thats emergency situation (fatal issues about concept), how the problem impacts the family, cultural issues, teaching concepts, and why this concept is important for me to become an excellent nurse.

This type of focus is a running dialogue in my head while im taking notes and skimming the chapters. This is the type of understanding you need to answer the exam questions effectively. But I could go on forever about those crazy questions.

I know I want to work in some type of critical care or emergency department. Eventually working in some area of surgery like PreOp, Pacu, First Assist in OR. I hope to continue and receive my BSN then ARNP - family practitioner. So hopefully in 4 years will be an ARNP with some type of critical care and OR experience. I would start like most in med/surg telemetry floor then after doing my first year move on to critical care.

I know now that Peds, OB, and Pysche probably aren't for me but who knows what life may bring.

jboogs49- THANK YOU so much for all your help and being so honest. I sincerely appreciate it. I will certainly follow your very wise advice. You should be very proud of yourself- you already sound like a nurse- a good one :)

Thank you very much and I hope the remainder of your plans go brilliantly smooth :)

Good Morning everyone !!! Has anyone registered for the CAE0644 Florida Laws and Rules for Nursing ? I need some assistance, because I can't seem to find it. The lady in the Health Science admissions dept. assured me it would be online.

[dolfanjenny]

Yeah I know what you mean. I think we have to wait for registration to officially open. I know they do offer it online though. Check back I believe after the 17th we should be able to find it.

[AmbitiousQ]

Thanks dolfanjenny I definetly will. Guess she misinformed me....

[dolfanjenny]

Thanks dolfanjenny I definetly will. Guess she misinformed me....

Yes they do that a lot over there! I'm just guessing that we have to wait for registration to open cause no matter how I try to look it up it doesn't come out. guess will find out in the 17th. I know it cost $15.
