  1. A little "pick me up" for students and new grads

    I am very surprised and happy you got a job in the ICU straight out of school. This is what I am trying to do too. Could you tell me where you found such a job?? At least the state you work in? I would be willing to move anywhere.
  2. Thinking of quitting nursing program...

    This question makes no sense to me. You specifically said you do not want to be a nurse and then you are asking if you should be one? Ummm...the first thing about choosing a career is finding one you want to do of course. If you don't want to do i...
  3. Venting... and questioning my path...

    If they are not accredited, you may be unable to work outside of your state, and your degree will not necessarily be recognized by other schools. Another thing you should look at is the nature of the clinical experiences the students get. Do they g...
  4. Has ANYONE attended Everest University??

    Whatever school you choose you should make sure it is accredited. If it isn't then you might not be able to get an advanced degree later and might be unable to work outside of Florida. In the worst case, you might find your degree is worthless. I ...
  5. Thank you card after interview?

    I saw some people saying they sent thank you cards after an interview. Is this something everyone does which is expected? I have had a few interviews but no job yet. I have never sent a thank you card though. Is it really that important? I have ...

    Who are you talking to? I took the TEAS IV.
  8. Very confused Nursing or MD?

    It's telling of your youth that you so clearly state what your specialty will be as if it is written in stone. You realize it isn't so simple as just saying "I'm going to be a doctor. My specialty will be xx." You will have to get the right grades...
  9. Can Teas be passes without puechasing exams?

    Of course it can. I did not study for the TEAS at all and got in the mid 90s. I did not even know what the TEAS was until the day before I had to take it.
  10. I am so disappointed in myself

    Won't ever use? Physiology is very important especially for critical care. If you don't understand how the body works normally then you cannot understand how a disease affects this function. Renal and cardiac physiology are very important especial...
  11. Is it okay for a CNA to call herself a nurse?

    States do not have "poor wording" just because it doesn't suit your preferences. The wording was carefully defined by the Board of Nursing in that state precisely for these reasons. How about a DNP? Do they get to say "I'm Dr. So-and-So" in a hospi...

    The program is not 32 credits. It is 54-59 credits based on whether you have to take an elective/research.
  13. UCF Accelerated BSN 2011-2012

    1) These are approximate: tuition = about $11,000 for entire program books = over $1000 first semester, a few hundred for other semesters at most uniform/shoes = about $150 being frugal (2 white tops/pants, 2 navy blue pants, $20 shoes, no jackets) r...
