   DGood replied to hotflashion's topic in Job Hunt

   Yeah I just took this test for a scholarship (the kind they give you money and when you finish school you work for that hospital). I've already received a letter stating that my GALLUP scores were not up to their standards and I would not be receivi...

2. State Jobs

   DGood replied to chitownchick's topic in Florida

   If you were waiting for a job for income I would say look into other things as well. The state take FOR EVER for pretty much anything they do. If they really really need you they might hurry up but I would still think it would be a month (??). That...

   DGood posted a topic in New Nurse

   Hi all, I've read a few post where people where offered or applied to jobs months before graduation/nclex. This might be a silly question but how do I go about doing that? I keep thinking I should be an RN and then apply??? but I'd really like to hav...

4. PreMed nursing

   DGood replied to frustratedbummer's topic in General Nursing

   keep in mind though that there are not many jobs for biology majors. If you do not make it into med school, or don't make it in your first try, your are probably need to work while you apply again. You can do what you want to do but it is not always...

   DGood replied to MagnesiuM's topic in Florida

   hmmm, I'm in Palm Beach, guess it is different in other counties. I told people in my class and they were also able to get it without problems.

6. south florida workforce money??

   DGood replied to MagnesiuM's topic in Florida

   I think they require you to make less than $30 per hour. Which I don't make so I was in. You don't have to be "low income" or unemployed. They want to pay for the classes because you agree to work for a year after you graduate (you have to work in F...

7. south florida workforce money??

   DGood replied to MagnesiuM's topic in Florida

   GO, GO GO, they will make you jump through hoops but it is worth it. They pay for my tuition, uniforms, and books. They even bought my shoes and stethoscope.

8. Loan Repayment programs in West Palm Beach Area?

   DGood replied to smithtls02's topic in Florida

   The VA usually pays more than the health department. I don't know about the VA but the health department will pay up to $4000 per year of student loans. The health department does not pay much (not sure what they pay and I don't think anyone would t...

   DGood replied to Nurse-One's topic in Florida

   I think I had 28 points. It was 27 or 28, can't remember. That was for Spring 2008 (part time program) which they only have 30 seats for. I think they have 110 seats for the full time program.

10. online mph programs

    DGood replied to sincere1782's topic in General Nursing

    Here is what I did, I went to school and got a BS in Biology, now I can't find any job that has anything to do with biology. After I graduated I looked for master programs that would interest me and I thought the MPH would be a good idea for me. Sin...

    Sorry this thread got off subject. I just really don't know enough about LPN's...and you guys know what happens when we assume I do think many people do not see how similar the nursing classes really are. Lets hope this helps to open up someone els...

    DGood replied to picurn10's topic in LPN/LVN

    Hmm the poster wanted to know what each person called themselves (OPINION). From the National Council of State Boards of nursing. To me (opinion), they make a distinction between the two but I can see how the term "nurse" would apply. See, I learne...

    DGood replied to picurn10's topic in LPN/LVN

    Not trying... just giving an opinion. Question: Do LPN's take the same exact NCLEX?? I thought it was and LPN NCLEX (can't remember what it's called). PS> I'm not trying to be smart, I'm trying to learn about LPN's
