    SJRCC Palatka program????

    hlfpnt replied to jnmoore02's topic in Florida Nursing

    Saunder's NCLEX Review 3rd ed. is the best on the market. As for math books, I can't help you there...I didn't buy any & just learned it the way they taught it in class. However, if I can do it...

    SJRCC Palatka program????

    hlfpnt replied to jnmoore02's topic in Florida Nursing

    You're welcome. Yes, it's intense. It's not so much that the material itself is really hard as it's the volume of what you'll be expected to learn at one time. I highly suggest finding a way to keep...

    SJRCC Palatka program????

    hlfpnt replied to jnmoore02's topic in Florida Nursing

    I went to SJRCC, but I did the OP program. I imagine the two are probably about the same. It's an 18 month ASN program. Your first semester will be foundations, pharm, math & clinical lab check...

    hlfpnt replied to MuddaMia's topic in Florida Nursing

    They have a GN sign on bonus that will bind you in a 2 year contract. I'm understanding (from some of my fellow classmates who applied) that if you quit & can't pay the bonus back it's in the...

    Big difference between last day as student and first day as RN?

    hlfpnt replied to zaggar's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think some of the problem is the fact that in school you learn the "ivory tower" way of nursing...the perfect world. Once you're in the "real world" of nursing you realize it's not perfect &...

    hlfpnt replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The ATT comes from Pearsonvue. It all depends on how fast your school gets your transcripts to the BON & they varify it. Once that's done the BON will send the ok to Pearson & they will send...
