  1. How Much Was Your First Check As A CNA?

    PeachyERNurse replied to MissMe0707's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Really? As a CNA? What

  2. Stupidest reason to go to ER

    PeachyERNurse replied to DachRN's topic in Emergency

    No way! I think that might just be the most ridiculous one so

  3. Wal-Mart has Everything

    PeachyERNurse replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Lol!!!

  4. How long did nursing school take for you?

    PeachyERNurse replied to sweetiez's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm a 2nd degree student (took me 7 years to get the 1st one), so technically it's taken me 8 years (I'll graduate in December) to get my nursing degree. I think I beat everyone one here

  5. BSN program in Sarasota/Bradenton?

    PeachyERNurse replied to oceansummer's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think the BSN program at SPC is an RN-BSN program, so if you're not already a nurse, you wouldn't be able to get a BSN from

  6. BSN program in Sarasota/Bradenton?

    PeachyERNurse replied to oceansummer's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yep, it's in Tampa. They also have a Pinellas program (which they just started last year with a grant they received from somewhere) and the classes are in Largo, and the clinicals are in St. Pete or...

  7. BSN program in Sarasota/Bradenton?

    PeachyERNurse replied to oceansummer's topic in Florida Nursing

    Go to USF if you've already got a Bachelors. USF has an accelerated BSN program which I just happen to be a part of. Yeah, I know it's kinda far from Sarasota and Bradenton, but there's a girl in my...

  8. I'm so tired!

    PeachyERNurse replied to PeachyERNurse's topic in General Students

    Thanks everybody for your suggestions. I meant to say I average about 7 hours of sleep per night, but sometimes I do get 9 or 10 and still feel tired. I'm definitely gonna go to the doctor to make...

  9. Admissions Strictly By the Numbers

    PeachyERNurse replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school only looks at overall GPA. No admissions test, no science GPA, no nothing else. I think it's ridiculous to assume that someone with a 4.0 overall GPA who padded their GPA with easy classes...

  10. What do you think of Tampa General ?

    PeachyERNurse replied to SapphireRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks for the info Emily! I looked on their website and the only openings I saw for new grads were the critical care and rotational internship. Are you doing either of those? Do I need to speak to...

  11. That DREAMY First Check!

    PeachyERNurse replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    I can't wait for that first check! I'll probably just spend it on bills though since nursing school is putting me deep in debt. Only 4 months to

  15. Anyone trying for a 2nd degree?

    PeachyERNurse replied to FutureRN1908's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey guys, I have a BA in Sociology too;). Same story with me, 1st degree GPA, not so hot; but, almost straight A's in my pre-reqs, and I got my GPA up high enough to get into a 2nd degree nursing...

  17. Do you allow Tele patients to leave unit to smoke?

    PeachyERNurse replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    At the hospital I do my clinicals at, they discourage patient's from leaving our tele floor to smoke, but they do allow it if the patient signs a

  18. Stupidest reason to go to ER

    PeachyERNurse replied to DachRN's topic in Emergency

    I don't work in an ER, but when I was doing my ER rotation in school, we had this lady come in just for a tetorifice shot (no she didn't step on a nail or anything, she just needed a tetorifice shot)....

  19. help! Im losing motivation

    PeachyERNurse replied to love-d-OR's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know how you feel. I think I may have developed senioritis too. I've got one semester to go (after this one that ends Aug 3rd) and I am so burnt out I can barely focus. All I want to do is sleep;...

  21. Anyone take the HESI?

    PeachyERNurse replied to geekgolightly's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I've taken 3 HESI's so far. One for Fundamentals, one for Psych, and one for Pharm. We have to take a Med-Surg HESI at the end of our semester and it counts for 40% of our grade (yep, I said 40). I...

  22. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    PeachyERNurse replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    If you have a 3.1 cumulative GPA and completed all the pre-reqs apply to USF's Accelerated BSN program. I know someone with less than that who got in. Maybe the entrance GPA's have gone up, but you...

  23. What do you feel is least relevant class?

    PeachyERNurse replied to oguesswhat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't worry. You'll never use MLA again, especially not in USF's nursing program. Everything's

  24. What do you feel is least relevant class?

    PeachyERNurse replied to oguesswhat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm very surprised to see that so many people think sociolgy is irrelevant. We deal with sociological theories and concepts in just about everything we do; especially in nursing! Well, maybe I'm...

  25. Hours you worked while you were in school.

    PeachyERNurse replied to vaileheart's topic in General Nursing

    I worked 36-50 hrs a week(3 p/t jobs) through 1st and 2nd semester. 3rd semester starts Tuesday, and I'll probably only be working 28-30 hrs. Hey, I got bills to
