JUBSN

Hello folks! This is my first time posting on allnurses.com. I am starting the accelerated BSN program @ Jacksonville University. Anyone out there accepted or knows about the program? If so, please let me know. The process was smooth and JU has been ...

Hello! I am a new grad taking my boards fairly soon and will be working @ Broward General Hospital ED. Can someone be kind enough to share their experience in general with this hospital/unit? I have heard great things, but other opinions will definet...

After going through nursing school and doing every single rotation available, I haven't changed my mind - ER ER ER ER! That being said, at least 90% of my peers changed their minds from day 1 to a week or so before graduation. My advice is to be ope...

I'm in my LAST semester of the Accelerated BSN and I agree with Fleur-de-lis, it's very challenging and you have to sacrifice everything. Your life is put on hold for the length of the program. I never gave though of walking this spring, but after so...

A grant from the Dept of Education is accessible to nursing students in the state of Florida. I have attended an informational session and I do qualify for such aid. The program pays for tuition, books, 2 uniforms, 1 pair of shoes, a stethoscope, NCL...

You must have been accepted to a nursing school or already attending a program from a STATE school or other approved institution (FAU,BCC,MDC-these are colleges/universities in South Florida) The program is administered by WorkForce One and the name ...

BSM03d: I am also @ FAU (I'm sure you are in my MCH with Gibson and Community with Dr. Barry!!!!!) The program is ALL ABOUT CARING - and they aren't joking! If any of you get accepted into FAU School of Nursing, let me know. I'll give you the skin...

We found out by March 10 or thereabouts. There have been a few minor changes in the administration and could possibly trigger different timelines. I would follow up sometime between mid-to-late February. If I do hear something, I'll let you know. Fee...

I'm doing the accelerated program @ FAU. The program is intense and fast paced. It truly is what you make out of it - if you want to learn, you learn....My advice is to have your finances lined up, inquire about hospitals offering scholarships (there...

I signed a contract with UNC Chapel Hill for next year. I'm in an accelerated BSN program and the money was too good to pass on. If there is anyone out there that knows about UNC Chapel Hill, the area, etc, I'd appreciate your input.

I am currently in the Accelerated program (semester 2 of 3) and I can tell u that my school is quite competitive. I have an undergrad with a 3.9 and MBA with 3.8 4.0 in pre-reqs and I scored a 96% on the HESI exam and did not make the first cut (stop...

I agree, you best learn to master how to sleep while in nursing school. It's not harder or easier, it's just different. I am taking 4 classes with clinicals, plus community service on my FREE time, projects, etc (I'm in the accelerated track). It's a...

If I'm not mistaken the first class of RN's have or are getting ready to graduate. I have heard from an instructor friend of mine that it seemed to be going just fine (of course the tell tale sign will be the results of the NCLEX). Personally, I don'...

Congrats! I was VERY lucky with my MCB LAB instructor. It was challenging and ended putting in more hours than expected - for one lousy credit! We had a practical and writen part for the final. I didn't do so hot on the final but still managed to pul...

baptist hospital in south florida will pay for school plus $200/month stipend if you are willing to work for them for 1 year. if you are interested in finding out more,contact: elvy rubio scholars & nursing advancement administrator organizatio...

Galore, email me and I'll be more than happy to answer your questions about the process, etc, etc. [email protected]

Galore, ironically enough, the day I made that post I received an email from FAU extending me an invitation (I guess someone declined and I was placed as an alternate). I applied to Barry University and Jacksonville University and got accepted and al...

Szelda and Galore: I am not sure about PBCC but do know that FAU/MDC/BCC are eligible for the grant. I applied to FAU and despite having a 3.8 in undergrad, 3.8 in grad, 4.0 in pre-reqs and a 95% on the HESI I didn't get in. Call Workforce One (www....

nlion87: I don't know about the part time program but will tell you that a close friend of mine started the accelerated in January and wishes she could have gone for the traditional. She's passing albeit with C's (which is a GREAT grade) The applicat...

I start the accelerated BSN in May and don't have much of an idea of what to get. I have a stethoscope, scrubs and that is about it. I have read about PDAs, etc, etc. Can anyone please share your opinions? I am quitting my job so COBRA here I come:(...

Don't give up! Consider schools in nearby cities (to avoid out of state fees). Another option would be the LPN-RN-BSN track. If you can dream about it, you can make it happen!!!!!!!

I agree, Oprah is a farse! She seems so nice and approachable but that is faaaaaaaaaaar from the truth! Back in the early 90s before she had her private jet she was on one of my flights and the flight attendants in first class wanted to throw themsel...

I start school on 5/15 therefore I have no plans for the summer except to study, study, study! It's actually not as bad as I think because it will keep my mind occupied in lieu of worrying about the awful hurricanes we get here in Florida.

DATE ACCEPTED: March 3, 2006 PROGRAM: Accelerated BSN SCHOOL: Jacksonville University STATE: FL START DATE: May 15, 2006 I am thrilled to embark into the nursing field. The program is intense and requires a lot of hours of study and dedication. It's ...
