Piano-CelloRN

Hi all! I am interested to apply for a job as an RN at St. Jude. I am currently a pediatric hemonc nurse in Florida. I have never been to Memphis area, so I do not know the area. Anyone work at St. Jude that can give an insight about the culture of t...

Hi all! I am currently an Pediatric Hemonc RN in Florida. I am really considering to advance my practice, however, I am exploring a different track other than being an NP, which is becoming a PA. I know, I am an RN, and people say the best route is t...

My guess is that they are just trying to fill up the space. UF nursing program is definitely trending down compare to decades ago where they actually teach and care about their students. Nowadays, its all about the admission and money they can get. A...

You will be the 4th cohorts in Jacksonville. Have you tour UCF campus? If yes, it might have much better resources than UF Jax. Go tour both places and make your decision that way.

For those who are wondering about petition process, I honestly do not know how they are dealing with that now. I went to UF Nursing school 2017-2018 year, and after that they changed all the application process. So I don't know and don't want to give...

I did my BSN in 2017-2018 year, and I started working part=time (2 days/week) as a CNA in Gainesville on the weekend every week while doing my nursing school in Jacksonville. I did that because no one is paying my tuition, so I had to get money and e...

Hi everyone, I am starting my position as a new GN at Pediatric Oncology unit next month. Is there any advice from experience ped-hemonc nurse here for me? Anything from how to prepare myself before starting, how to deal with parents or dying childr...

Thank you for your writing this to me. A lot of people that I talk to about this keep asking me why I want to be working in a very depressing field, and sometime those comments get into my head. However, I keep telling myself that becoming a pediatri...

What is the name of UF Jax group?

One of the benefits being a UF Nursing student is that you are in the middle of two Level 1 trauma center in north Florida (UF Health Jax and Gainesville). Both hospitals will take preferences of hiring their students. The CNO for UF Health Jacksonvi...

Honest opinion? Both Jax and Gville students will tell you that they dont prepare us enough. It is "learn your own" kind of thing. Remember, UF has done this for a while, and if they have not fixed anything until now, they are doing something wrong. ...

Guess they changed the requirement. I was doing 4 of the prereqs on the spring semester before nursing school start in May. Ohh well, and now I am 6 months away from finishing :)

DOnt remember when you start, just google UF course schedule 2017-2018. I think it will be May 14. But could be wrong. From what I heard, y'all will have two of the hardest courses combine into one semester. Pathophysiology and pharmacology. These a...

bookwise? I personally used pdf and got older edition or rent. The books are expensive enough, and I get by without buying the books they require. they will tell you that books are mandatory. NOT! you can find the pdf. The only books you need to buy ...

Congrats to all who got accepted! Now, make a group on Facebook for Jax and Gville. And add all who got accepted. My Jax cohorts created one and we still use it till now to post important stuffs. Lol! And I would be happy if I can join y'all group! S...

Tuition itself will be around $3500/semester. Depending on where you live, living cost will be expensive. Expect to spend about $1000-1500/month if you go to Jacksonville because Jax is way more expensive than Gville, also the commute depending where...

Based on the information we received, it will be a total of 112 students for both Jax and GNV campuses. I am not sure if this number is correct, but this is what one of the dean said.

For Jax campus: 1. Hospital library only open on the weekday until 5pm. So if you want to study, you can either go to UNF library (gotta pay $5 for parking before 6:30pm on weekday) or go to local starbucks/Panera/whaever to study. 2. Well it is Jack...

They are probably postponing it until Wednesday. I do not know the reasons. I can't give you all anymore information, not sure if I am supposed to tell you guys anything last week about the decision on Monday. There is a petition process that you ca...

Expect your letter of acceptance or denial on Monday, Feb 19th. Good luck y'all!

There are 6 guys in my program in Jax, I am not sure about Gainesville. Probably about the same amount.

To be honest, I advise you all to think carefully before committing into this program. Speaking from experience, they do not care about you or your education. The professors do not prepare you enough to pass your NCLEX, and you WILL have to do someth...

Unfortunately, there will be no tutoring for Jacksonville campus. We are very under-resourced. We have to utilize UNF library to study because the library in the hospital is open at 8am until 5pm and close on the weekend. But you can use the College ...

Just like you said, the program is really new so they are still experimenting on their curriculum, and unfortunately my cohort and the previous one are the guinea pig. We have to teach ourselves 90% of the time because the materials are too much. Th...
