Hi there! I've read quite a few post where nursing students (or graduates) mentioned working as a PCT (Patient Care Tech aka CNA) at Fl Hospital or ORMC. I will be starting a LPN program in January and am considering applying for a PCT position (aft...

Per Mave's request... here's a post for all Tampa and W. Coast students! :) Where are you studying? And when did you start/ or will start?

Hi Falon. I'm not a Medical Transcriptionist, but am also interested in taking a course. I found that Gatlin Education offers online courses through local colleges and universities via the web. For instance, the online course offered through my local...

It's been a while since I attended Miami Dade, but at the time I was a student there, they would exempt you from taking the CPT if you had a recent SAT or ACT score sent to them. Have you tried this avenue?

Hi there! As a former Orlando Tech student, I can probably give you some suggestions. First and foremost, do not buy any books. Orlando Tech changes textbooks frequently. You will receive a list of textbooks during orientation. Seriously, do not buy ...

I'm actually a RN student in Florida. As soon as I graduate, I intend to move to south central CO. This is why I asked. The CO boards seems pretty dead, but hopefully others will relate their experience. The trend however is not unique to CO. Even in...

Sorry to hear about your situation. Out of curiosity, what part of CO are you in? Thanks! :)

I'll be relocating to Colorado in the next year with a ASN degree. I've been doing some job research and noticed that most positions require or prefer a BSN degree. Since I will only have my ASN, will I have any trouble finding a job? I am looking at...

Although I am still a student, I have been looking through the job postings in various sites/newspapers in Colorado. It seems to me that a majority of the ads state "Must be a gradute of an accredited program". I am currently enrolled in a RN progra...

I'm have PCOS as well. You can find great information and support from the following websites: http://www.pcosupport.org/ http://www.soulcysters.net/

Wow... great suggestion (UCHSC)! I just checked out the program information online and it's definitely promising. The out of state tuition however is not. :uhoh21: Thanks for your help!

I had a similar problem with eCampus last year. It took a formal complaint to the BBB and local newspaper help line to finally get this company to pay me for my books. I would NOT recommend that anyone use this company. Based on my experience, check...

I sent the school an inquiry message and received this response: Although the LPN-BSN Distance Learning Program is not recognized in Florida, a number of other states have been recognized or approved and we are working diligently to complete the oth...

I'm not sure about Tampa, but the Florida Board of Nursing website has a list of accredited programs (ADN and PN). Check out: http://www.doh.state.fl.us/mqa/nursing/lst_trainingprograms.pdf You can also see the passing rates for the schools (2003 and...

I could not find anything with audio, but these websites might help: http://cel.colgate.edu/howto/powerpoint/pc/ http://www.towson.edu/users/tasulliv/istc501/powerpoint1.html http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~kaysack/powerpoint/ http://www.cyberbee.com/po...

I am currently a LPN student. I recently discovered that a local community college is offering online courses through Allegra Learning Solutions (accredited by American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation). Course overviews can...

From the SEIU website (http://www.seiu.org/health/issues/southflorida_spot.cfm): In January 12th, more than 500 nurses, service, and technical workers in Miami voted to join SEIU, making North Shore Medical Center the region's sixth hospital where em...

While I agree with all the above posters, I must say this.... I love multicollinarity's blunt honesty. :) Sugar coating may make things easier to swallow/hear, but it may not help someone understand your message.

I'm taking pre-reqs on both campuses, depending on the semester/availability. I prefer east only because it is closer to home.... but any campus will do. Have to get these classes completed..... sigh. :stone

We wear all white (tops and bottom) with a blue pinafore (vest top). Pretty hideous if you ask me.

I'm in nursing school as well. For me, it's not memorization, but learning how to apply what I've learned. By your post, it seems that you know definitions/terms pretty well. Now you just have to expand on that knowledge and apply it to simulated nu...

I'm in day #3 of the LPN program. Thus far, it's ok... a little disorganized. Lots of whining by the other students (how many tests, how many questions) and lots of repetition. Core is mostly self-taught/independent studies. So how is everyone else...

Thank you! :kiss

Hello everyone! I've been asked to conduct an interview with nurse, so naturally I thought of all of you. Would anyone be able to assist me with this assignment, please? The interview questions are as follows: Department Educational Background Yea...
