  1. Do you remember this thread???

    np_wannabe posted a topic in General Nursing

    Recently, there was a thread about which nursing specialty would you choose and why? I'm looking for it now, and can't find it. I've looked on 4 or 5 boards and archives, going back for one month....

  2. What's a magnet hospital???

    np_wannabe posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all. Hope you're having a great day! I have read a couple of threads mentioning a "magnet hospital." What is that? How is that different than a regular hospital? And how do you know if your...

  3. Do you remember this thread???

    np_wannabe replied to np_wannabe's topic in General Nursing

    It's not the one I was thinking of, but very close (a/k/a very useful!) Thank

  4. Why do you love anesthesia??

    np_wannabe posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hello all. I was just wondering...curious, really... The whole idea of anesthesia scares the crap out of me...putting someone to sleep. It seems like there is so little room for error and any errors...

  5. Anyone know any good places to work in Orange Park/Jacksonville area?

    np_wannabe replied to nurseman71's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey nurseman. The only thing I can suggest is to STAY AWAY from OP Medical Center. I have heard some pretty terrible things about that place. In fact, I'm not sure that anyone has ever said anything...

  6. in choosing an NP specialty

    np_wannabe posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello everyone. I'm new here. This board seems so wonderful! Everyone is helpful and friendly....I'm so glad I stumbled upon it. Anyway, here is my question: One of the local state Universities in...

  7. Why do you love anesthesia??

    np_wannabe replied to np_wannabe's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hmm....I hadn't thought about it like that before. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for your response! Good

  8. Why do you love anesthesia??

    np_wannabe replied to np_wannabe's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hmmm....Maybe I should re-phrase the question... Why is administering Anesthesia appealing to you? What do you like about it? I understand that it is a very responsible, autonomous position, but...

  9. Night Classes at FCCJ

    np_wannabe replied to Beforewedie's topic in Florida Nursing

    No. It's the same either way. I know....trying to get any answers from FCCJ is like pulling teeth! They are TERRIBLE! I can't tell you how many times I've called them over the last

  10. FCCJ Point System

    np_wannabe replied to Beforewedie's topic in Florida Nursing

    No problem. I almost applied to the January evening program, but am trying for UF's accelerated BSN program. They have it here in Jax (at Shands). If I don't get in, I'm applying to FCCJ's next...

    np_wannabe replied to Beforewedie's topic in Florida Nursing

    You're in. The cut-off is usually between 180 to 185 each semester. Congratulations!!

  12. in choosing an NP specialty

    np_wannabe replied to np_wannabe's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks tnd511. They DO have post-master's certs, so that is a good back-up plan. I'm hoping to do something nice a broad so that I don't have to go back. AGAIN! I've already been a full-time...

  13. in choosing an NP specialty

    np_wannabe replied to np_wannabe's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You're a med-surg CNS? That's awesome! I read what you did/where you work somewhere else, and remember thinking that you have a lot of variety in what you do. If I remember correctly, you work in a...

  14. The letter......Spring 07

    np_wannabe replied to NRSNFL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi nrs2b. May I ask--what is "earn as you learn?" My sister is in an ADN program in BCC (South Florida), and she has contracted with a hospital to work for them after graduation (and they pay for her...

  15. Different roles for CNS's??? Come on guys share what you do!

    np_wannabe replied to traumaRUs's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    siri/trauma~ i started looking at this forum after i discovered that the med-surg program i am looking at is actually a cns program, not an np. siri~ thank you for the plethora of information. this...

  16. Different roles for CNS's??? Come on guys share what you do!

    np_wannabe replied to traumaRUs's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Hi Trauma. I'm glad to see this. I've never heard of a CNS before, and the differences between a CNS and NP are unclear to me (is seems that the functions and responsibilities are essentially the...

    np_wannabe replied to np_wannabe's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    University of Florida. Here is a link: http://con.ufl.edu/academics/academics_sub.asp?ID=56 Actually, I just re-read it when I got this link....It is identified as: Master of Science in Nursing...

  18. in choosing an NP specialty

    np_wannabe replied to np_wannabe's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi Trauma. Yes, it is a specialty. I live near a HUGE state school (50K students). This school has almost every possible program imagineble: Medical School, Dental School, Vet school, etc.......

  19. in choosing an NP specialty

    np_wannabe replied to np_wannabe's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi Everybody. Thank you for your input. I have decided to do something nice and broad--I'm thinking Med-Surg. It seems that it is broad enough so that I would be able to work in a hospital (or make...

  20. Need advice - bail on my accelerated BSN for an ADN?(long)

    np_wannabe replied to fleur-de-lis's topic in General Nursing

    My heart goes out to you, Fleur-de-lis. I think it depends on what your ultimate goal is. If you know for sure you want to do NP or management, I would tough it out for the next six...

  21. Which path would you take to BSN?

    np_wannabe replied to LovesDisney's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MBA2BRN~ You have a great point. and I think that the key is taking out TOO MUCH debt. I would like to use myself as an example: I supported myself through a 2 year graduate program exclusively with...

  22. Experienced Nurses Only

    np_wannabe replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I guess we're not worthy of all of your brilliant ideas, perfect grammEr, and ability to follow

  23. Opinions please...

    np_wannabe replied to Sandi0302's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you are more proud of being a mother than an LPN. If that is the case, and money is not a factor, why not stay home and be a full-time momma??? If you WANT to be an RN, that is one...

  24. Am I too old?!

    np_wannabe replied to RyanL's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be 34 when I start nursing school, so no, I don't think it's too old. I don't think it's too old if you are in your 50s and 60s though. And if money is an issue, you may want to look into an RN...

  25. The dreaded GRE

    np_wannabe posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anyone else studying for the GRE??? It's been a while since I've been in school. The nursing program I'm applying you requires you to take it, so that if you keep your grades up, you can go straight...
