  1. financing school 401k

    Galore replied to Anne36's topic in General Nursing

    You might be able to take a loan from your 401k for education expenses. Call your plan's administrator and explain that you want a loan, not to close it out. Then you can pay yourself back, with...

  2. Any Pre-req books needed in Nursing School?

    Galore replied to Krither's topic in General Students

    I didn't even use my A&P book while I was taking the course. I was going to sell it but it's only going for around $15 so I'll keep it just in case. Most anything can be found online so I don't...

  3. Living poor to living middle class!

    Galore replied to rn2bn07's topic in First Year After Licensure

    First of all, congrats on your upcoming graduation! I don't want to sound negative but I've seen far too many people fall into a very easy trap. Higher income so very often eases into higher standard...

  4. Young Nurses

    Galore replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet but I encountered this in my last career. I graduated college a year early, am blonde and look like I'm 16. One of my first days on the new job, an elderly man and I were...

    Galore replied to VieraGrl1030's topic in Florida Nursing

    In every gated community I've ever lived in, 90% of the time the gate didn't work and defeated the

  6. UF's Nursing Resource Center

    Galore replied to np_wannabe's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm going to UF - Gainesville campus :) Here is what she said about the other 2 semesters: 2nd semester: class 2 days a week for about 6-8 hrs/day and clinical 2 days a week for 8 hrs/day Third...

  7. How far in advance of graduation should I apply for jobs

    Galore replied to krazykev's topic in General Students

    I'm wondering the same thing but for accelerated students. It seems like we would only be in nursing school for 6 months and then already looking for

  8. UF's Nursing Resource Center

    Galore replied to np_wannabe's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm a little behind on everything since I was on the waitlist, but I've been corresponding with someone who's already in UF's program and I believe she said for the first summer semester you're in...

  9. Waitlisted...

    Galore replied to panzyo3's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was waitlisted by one school and got a call saying a spot had opened up about two weeks later. I decided to accept then called my other school to give up my spot, so that means someone else got to...

  10. Delray Medical Center

    Galore replied to Hind12's topic in Florida Nursing

    I haven't worked in the medical sector, but I will definitely agree that many Palm Beach people are very demanding, rude, and self-centered. At the same time, I worked in Delray Beach for the past...

  11. Anybody attend UF accelerated?

    Galore replied to HARRN2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just bumping this up, turns out I got accepted to UF afterall and now have to decide between that and the FAU ABSN program. Has anyone here done the UF accelerated? I would really love to hear some...

  13. City Wth Most Rn Jobs & Conveniences?

    Galore replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Florida Nursing

    Any body of water in Florida is liable to contain alligators. Having said that, I've lived in FL 24 years and have never had a gator come up and approach me and especially not at my front door! I...

  14. Anyone looking at University Of Miami?

    Galore replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    Renee, are you local? UM is in the Coral Gables area but yes, traffic in Miami in general seems horrible to me! I'm in Broward county so I wanted schools closer to home and the cost put me off....

  15. Sex offenders in FL!!??!!??

    Galore replied to Danish's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm from the Tampa Bay area and remember running a search on my childhood neighborhood and the whole screen lit up! The definition of a registered sex offender is broad though - remember they run the...

  16. I don't know what to do with myself!

    Galore replied to newbeginnings07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At one of the information sessions, the program director advised us to review A&P info because we'll be expected to have a great understanding of all the basics. I organized all my old notes and...

  17. The Letter....Summer 07

    Galore replied to armyvet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    USF has been driving me crazy with their disorganization. I've been emailing back and forth with them about transcripts I already sent, but now that I've found out from FAU I'm not considering USF...

  18. Nursing School Funding

    Galore replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I did my undergrad, I got unsubsidized (non need-based) student loans from the government. I think about $2000-2500 per semester. It was direct deposited to my bank account so you can use it...

  19. The Letter....Summer 07

    Galore replied to armyvet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats FLAgal14! I got the email about FAU the other day too and will probably attend there. I'm just waiting to hear back from one more school before I make my final

  20. Worried about being shy and nonassertive...

    Galore replied to SmetRN2008's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My nature is also somewhat reserved and non-assertive although this has diminished the older I get. In my first career, we had a few days of training and were just thrown out there to deal with...

  21. Accelerated BSN Programs, How Competitive Are They Really?

    Galore replied to wannabecatcher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my acceptance notification from FAU today! Looks like they accepted 48 people for this year's

  22. Acceptances for the year 2007

    Galore replied to maverickemt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got in to FAU'S Accelerated BSN program which starts in May! Still deciding on where I'll end up, but this was originally my first choice so I'm very pleased

  23. Do you get laughed at?

    Galore replied to juicy_jade's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As long as you get the grades, who cares what means you used to achieve them? I have a feeling you will be laughing in the end. Sometimes students have made comments about my typed up notes or...

  24. How much is too much?

    Galore replied to gogatsby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a tough situation to be in. I know several nurses here who chose to go to an accelerated program at a private school because it's easier to get in there. Although the tuition is ridiculous,...

  25. What will you do....

    Galore replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been invited to interview at another school, but I just got an email that I'm formally accepted to my original #1 choice school :balloons: . I was going to call my boyfriend but he randomly...
