  1. St. Marys Medical Center

    Thanks!
  2. St. Marys Medical Center

    Any idea on pay?
  3. Massive changes to 2011 healthcare benefits??

    Thank you!!!! Carter and Clinton BOTH tried to push through reform of the healthcare and insurance industry. Its not like Obama came into office magically dreamed up healthcare reform and poof...it happened! And for those that are upset about the hi...
  4. Maternity Insurance

    There are maternity riders, and they can be very expensive. There are also discount programs that you basically pre-pay a monthly amount to a company that is contracted with certain providers. Word of advice...make sure your husband has insurance BE...
  5. NOVA Southeastern University BSN Fall 2008

    FYI..I don't know if its for this class or the next one, but they are doing away w/ the interview process. Don't ask me why or how...but I was talking to a faculty member and she told me they are changing the admission process and there are no more ...
  6. Applying for externship help

    You sound like you are in the same boat as me...and my advice..be enthusiastic. Talk about the skills you have learned in your clinicals, and talk about the skills you still need/want to practice. Show your enthusiasm for learning how to be a nurse...
  7. Nova Southeastern

    They are teal. And they are very specific about it. Dickies and Cherokee are approved, some people also get away with Grey's Anatomy. Besides that...don't stray too far. They are very particular about uniform. There is a shop on Broward just eas...
  8. Nova Southeastern

    They may....I don't know. When I went through they sent a letter and you only had a few days to call to confirm the interview. But again, somehow mine never went out or got to me, so my persistence paid off!
  9. Nova Southeastern

    I would call. I sent in my application at the end of April as well and got in for the next to last interview May 13th or so last year. But call, because my letter for the interview never arrived and I never would have known they were interested in ...
  10. What I Wish I Knew Before Nursing School!

    This is a GREAT piece of advice. I read that here and applied it during my first clinical rotation last semester. I was respected by the nurses by the time I left. They would find me and ask me if I could do this or that to help a patient - and it...
  11. Nova Southeastern

    I'm not going to get into a pi$$ing contest about who knows more about the school. But spoon fed we are NOT. We are not given reviews, we are told that there are no intervention questions on the exam and then are asked intervention questions. I ha...
  12. I was just looking back on the threads about how excited and nervous we all were....so now that the first semester is almost over, what do you think so far? I have a few opinions, but want to open it for discussion first.
  13. Nova students...what do we think so far?

    Sorry to confuse you, I certainly don't want to scare you! Trust me, I wish I had nothing but glowing things to say! If you chose Nova you are going to have the opportunity to learn to be a great nurse. Just be prepared for some bumps along the way...
  14. Nova students...what do we think so far?

    To be honest the program is going through some growing pains at the moment as far as the students are concerned. The A&P was tough, but fair, and if you study and A is definitely possible. They changed a lot of things this semester that were n...
  15. Nova Southeastern

    As far as spots and interviews, I started last fall, they had 100 spots and 150 interviews. I don't know what percentage they are interviewing this time around, but one of profs who is interviewing seemed to let on they were doing a lot more intervi...
  16. Nova Southeastern

    About the letters, yes - they don't get sent out until Mid June. I interviewed in the next to last group in May, so was lucky I only had to wait 3 weeks. Good luck to you all. Just make sure you ask lots of questions, be yourself, and be ready to ...
  17. when do you call in sick??

    That is great advice that I am going to carry with me through NS and beyond. I was just SOOO ill I had to call in for 2 days of clinical - VERY, VERY frowned upon. I called my clinical instructor the night before - already knowing I was going to be...
  18. Nova Southeastern

    Bolded by me....a lot....A LOT has changed since you've been there. The are not great, they do not care what we have to say. We are in class/clinicals 32 hours a week, they WILL NOT give reviews for exams, and then ask questions that are not covere...
  19. Interview at FIU

    This makes me laugh b/c as a BSN student who knows she want to go to CRNA school I've been hearing keep it close to the vest. That the two of you know each other and don't know that you are both applying shows that is the best way to play it (unfort...
  20. Finally Applied

    OK...I've been trolling and asking a few questions here and there, but I'm sooooooo nervous. I just finished the application process for Nova Southeastern for the fall class. I read on someone else's thread that they interview all applicants, but ...
  21. Finally Applied

    First off, and this is just something that bothers me, Nova is not all capitalized. Its Nova Southeastern University; no need to capitalize everything. That said, you have your essay written. The writing sample is just to make sure you can formul...
  22. Nova Southeastern Anyone???

    Is anyone in the NSU program? I'm applying for the Fall, but have heard some contradicting things about it. Is it a good education for the money? I refuse to go to PBCC after some of the experiences I had w/ the teaching staff while taking pre-requ...
  23. Finally Applied

    I saw on another thread that you did get your acceptance letter. Sorry it took so long to reply - I haven't been on the board for a few weeks. Obviously, by know you know it came in a big envelope certified mail. See you in the fall!
  24. NOVA Southeastern University BSN Fall 2008

    Congrats!! I'll be seeing you there in the fall! Did you actually get a start date. My letter says orientation starts Aug 25, but at the interview James said the program would start the first Monday in September - which is Labor Day. Just wonderin...
  25. When do you expect to receive your "letter"..?

    I got mine today! Hopefully more people will get good news in the mailbox in the next few days. Good luck to everyone.
