We have to take them...You have to pass, but if you pass the first time, you get a 100% towards your grade. If you fail, you can take it again in 7 days and passing will give you a 75% towards your...
I think if you can make it through school, nursing is the best field for mothers. You have great schedules (3 - 12 hr shifts and 4 days off) and lots of options as your kiddies grow and your family...
I guess I just have to accept it then :) Ive been in nursing school for 8 mo and Ive gained about 20lbs...I thought I would loose it once I graduated and was working

Im so sorry to hear that. I can tell you from experience that advisors dont always know what they are talking about. I had an advisor at USF talk me out of nursing and into behavioral health ISS...
oh, I forgot...you need a good careplan book. Just having the NANDA diagnoses is not enough. And ALWAYS form a study group with other students. The more heads the better. I have found that I...
Im not a nurse, just a nursing student, but I wanted to share my opinion. When my daughter was a baby and getting her vaccinations so often I researched it a little and found a few studies connecting...
So I am getting ready to move to TN in the spring. I am researching the area hospitals and nursing homes to see what I can expect. I was hearing that NC is a great state to work as a nurse, but not...

http://www.doh.state.fl.us/Mqa/nursing/lst_trainingprograms.pdf But their LPN program is listed as Full, so I would think that they are in the process? Make sure you ask these kinds of questions...
We're doing the ATI system in our program too. I just finished the Nutrition test. Im preparing for the Fundamentals of Nursing next week. I like the format (similar to NCLEX). Every answer seems...
That is true...thanks Rags. I actually spent some time today while doing my AM assesment trying to tie my careplan to the pt. Not that I dont always tie it to my pt, but I have found that things...
Univ. of South Florida has a St. Petersburg campus that is on the water. It is really beautiful, but your nursing core classes will be in Tampa. They actually just built or are in the process of...
I am only a first semester LPN student and I have been lurking about this site for a little while. I cant tell you how much I appreciate the knowledge and expertise I have seen shared between...
Im only a student, but we were told to recap (by laying the cap on the counter, swooping the needle into the cap, and pressing against the wall untill tight) then transport to the pt, inject, and then...
Im in nursing school now and I suffer from Bipolar disorder. My psychotropic meds did not show up on my drug test, nor did I share that info with anyone at my school. I am having some difficulty...
In finishing my first semester in an LPN program and we have already learned to straight cath in the lab. We have not, however, done it in clinical, only
My LPN program requires a 75% to pass and move on each semester. If you do not pass the ATI tests, which are set up to be similar to the NCLEX-PN you cannot move on either. It is very difficult if...
Im in the LPN program at Keiser in St. Petersburg. Its about $19k per year and the last class to take the NCLEX-PN had a 100% pass rate (9 students) So far, so good for me...ask again next Oct (when...
Im in the Tampa area (28 years now) and we have not had a "direct hit" in that time period. HOWEVER, we are always getting the outskirts of hurricanes and tstorms that cause massive damage. In my...
