   johndz replied to steven007's topic in General Nursing

   Great article, especially for some one still in the role of student nurse (if you have graduated, I apologize), if you can remember this on a daily basis and continue to have pride in your profession, then you should do great, thanks for writing this...

4. FL NCLEX takers

   johndz replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida

   HAHA I guess I should update, I've been working as an RN for 2 months now, passed the NCLEX in 75, it was almost exactly like Kaplan online test bank questions, anyone who reads this, buy the book and the test bank, it's worth it.

5. Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

   johndz replied to louis345's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I didn't read the other posts, but I will say this. I am 29, I have a wife and two children. I became an RN this year. I went back to school at 23, worked a full time as a PCT at a local hospital and part time making coffee the whole time, went to sc...

6. Edison State College Applying for 2010

   johndz replied to humblecutie's topic in Florida

   BMR7: I had all of my pre-req's and co-req's done before I got into the program, except for microbiology, which I finished the summer before peds/ob. The nursing program strongly suggests getting them done before you enter the program, and so do I, t...

7. Why are Florida RNs paid so low?

   johndz replied to gerryNYC's topic in Florida

   North Florida is MUCH,MUCH cheaper than anywhere in south florida, comparing the COL in the north and the south might as well be the same as comparing different states.

   Hi everyone, I logged on and happened to see this post. I just graduated from Edison's Collier program in May, congratulations to those of you who got in. Most of us that just graduated took the NCLEX and passed with 75 :), look up what that means if...

9. Re-locating from Naples Fl. to Colorado Springs, help?

   johndz replied to johndz's topic in Colorado

   Thank you, these are both great replies.To theKid: I'm not one for 96% humidity and summer weather 10 months out of the year, I grew up at the base of a mountain in Cali,so that's part of the reason. But where I live currently, nursing salaries are s...

11. Attn: FGCU Nursing Students!

    johndz replied to itsjlarious's topic in Florida

    err. mistake, I was not saying don't go to FGCU, FGCU's program is fine, I was just relating my personal exeprience of working in Nursing in the hospital system locally, and a very good friend of my graduated the year FGCU went on probation, it hurt ...

12. Attn: FGCU Nursing Students!

    johndz replied to itsjlarious's topic in Florida

    You misunderstand, I was saying don't go to FGCU, I was just saying to look at both options, and you're information is wrong, Edison does have a BSN program, you didn't read my post fully, I JUST GRADUATED FROM EDISON. That is why I was just advising...

13. Attn: FGCU Nursing Students!

    johndz replied to itsjlarious's topic in Florida

    FGCU's program just recently got off probabtion by the state of florida, they had nclex pass rates only in the 50%'s a few years ago, to my knowledge that has been remedied, as their BSN mirrors Edison State's BSN. I just graduated in May from Edison...
