    FLAgal14 replied to justme1972's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I forgot to add that yes, I find myself looking up tons of diseases and conditions since I've started nursing school and especially after clinical rotations. Yesterday I had a patient with severe...

  2. Does anyone ever look up random diseases/conditions that they hear about?

    FLAgal14 replied to justme1972's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's interesting -both my mom and I have malignant hypothermia and I never really researched it in depth until nursing

  3. Info needed BA to BSN

    FLAgal14 replied to ffctas's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    FLAgal14 replied to Batlin's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Batlin I am starting FAU's accelerated program next week so I can't tell you for sure what the hours of the program are, as they change each semester. It is a 3 semester program, starting in May...

  5. I have a BA, now what?

    FLAgal14 replied to NWLady's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was in the same boat as you currently are in - I have a BA in public health and decided to change careers. I am fortunate enough to live in an area where the accelerated BSN program is not that...

  6. How much will your education cost you?

    FLAgal14 replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    FLAgal14 replied to missymarie26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    FLAgal14 replied to veronica123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. What area of nursing would you like to go into???

    FLAgal14 replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My top 2 interests are L&D and NICU. But I haven't started school yet or clinicals, so you never know what will happen - I'm going to try to keep an open mind on all the clinical rotations

  12. Premed to prenursing?

    FLAgal14 replied to abelshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Abelshan I'm another one who went pre-med to pre-nursing. Like the others - I did a double take on my choice when I thought about the amount of sacrifices that I would have to make, and let's not...

    FLAgal14 replied to mslinzyann's topic in Nursing Career

    FLAgal14 replied to megamiepona's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  17. They make me feel like a failure

    FLAgal14 replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate Students
