   JMF7755 replied to nursechrissyRN's topic in Career Support

2. Quit Nursing?

   JMF7755 replied to tayabee's topic in New Nurse

   I am not at all surprised you are making some mistakes, albeit rather large, dangerous ones. You do not have enough experience to be working in home care. I am really surprised that a home care agency would hire you without any nursing exp. As a home...

   JMF7755 replied to tinkkey04's topic in Florida

   I'm considering the sponsorship, but I'm not sure. It would be nice to have a job lined up as a new nurse, and possibly have a job as a CNA while I'm in school. I have my CNA already. Plus, I'm pretty sure you get to keep your PELL and loans even tho...

    JMF7755 replied to tinkkey04's topic in Florida

    What do you mean by TEAS 4 score? I only took the TEAS one time in April. I didn't figure I would get any higher, so it's this one or nothing. Most people I asked that were willing to disclose their scores were about the same or lower 80s, mid-upper ...
