TO: icunrse I was wondering why you moved from Cath Lab to EP Lab? I have the opportunity to move from the ER to either the Cath Lab or EP Lab and I am not sure which one to pick.

I bought the all-white Brooks Addiction Walker for my clinicals. I have been very happy with them.

Our class required ambulance ride alongs with at least 5 transports to the hospital, and we also had to do clinicals in the ER for three 8-hour days. I think it would be beneficial to have more clinical time/ride alongs, but our area is swamped with ...

I can only speak to South Florida (I'm assuming USF in Tampa). The 2.5 GPA is the lowest to apply, but with so many applicants, you really need a GPA of 3.4 or higher. I was in the same boat as you with a lower GPA and I had a BS degree in Business a...

I took the EMT-B class just before starting the Nursing program. I had to wait one semester before Nursing school started after I was accepted, so I figured it would be a good thing to do. It helped me in a few ways. One, it confirmed that I really w...

Also, if you have homeowner's insurance, you may be able to get better coverage for less money by adding it to your existing home policy. Check with your insurance agent to see if that is an option.

The two main books you will use are the Perry and Potter package and the Lewis Med Surg book. All of the other books are optional, but you will need a nursing diagnosis book, drug book and other reference books, but you can use whichever ones you lik...

I tried them on and loved them for the short time I walked around the store. I needed an all-white pair for school, and I was afraid to spend the money and be told I could not wear them because of the color. I plan on getting a pair after graduation ...

Cari: They will tell you at orientation the day and time you can register. You need to be logged in and ready to register for the class you want at the exact moment they tell you the class will be open for registration. This is specific to Nursing an...

Cari: You won't get the syllabus until the first day of class. The bookstore should have all the books you need to buy there, so you can go there and get the ISBN numbers and then check them out on eBay or any used bookstore online to get better deal...

Congrats Cari! I am at the Dale Mabry campus - the overall program should be the same, but the instructors are different. Your orientation will more than likely be at Dale Mabry. The requirements are the same, but I believe the syllabus is different ...

Come on in...the water is fine! In my class of 33, at least 6 are over forty, and a few more real close to it. One is over 50 and I am 42, and there have been no issues with age so far. We all just have a desire to help others, regardless of how old...

I have the new 4th edition, but I don't have any of the older ones, so it is hard to compare. The CD has 4,214 questions in the pool that you can individualize. I'm not sure how many there were in the 3rd edition, but I do think someone said there we...

Has anyone actually had to use the insurance they bought from NSO? Did they live up to their word about what they cover? How hard is it to convince them that you really need an attorney when something when wrong? I see in the policy that they get to ...

gaijingal Do you have a specific make/model number for the Shox's that are all white with the leather tongue? I looked at the Nike web site and could not find them.

my understanding is that rn program evening classes run from 5-8 pm two nights a week for 3 out of 4 semesters plus a 10-12 hour clinical on saturdays. the third semester adds an additional evening. on the dale mabry campus, the nights are tuesday an...

I was just accepted to the evening/weekend program that starts in January 2008 at the Dale Mabry campus. Good luck to everyone. Current students, let us know what to expect!

compassionate1: the acceptance into the hcc nursing program is only based on your gpa of the prerequisites for their program - nothing else matters. the higher your prerequisite gpa, the better your chances. mine was a 3.67 (all as and one c). i appl...

Yeah! I just received my acceptance letter to start the ASN program at Hillsborough Community College in Tampa (Dale Mabry campus) starting in January 2008. Orientation is Nov 7 and 8. I will be attending the evenings/weekend program. They told me no...

My understanding is it is 4 terms without the summer terms. For the evening program it is Spring 08, Fall 08, Spring 09 and Fall 09 with a grad date of December 2009. They suggest using the summer terms inbetween for any additional general requiremen...

I found that after being in the IT world for 19 years, I no longer desired to keep learning about it. My skills have suffered because of it and the way technology changes I felt left behind. The idea of working for companies that, one day they need y...

I finished my pre-reqs in May, applied in June and hope to start an ADN program in January 2008. I will be 42 in a few weeks. I am married to a wonder gal and have 2 adopted kids 9 and 6. I am the sole provider of income for the family so it will be ...

I started mine last month. I went to my county health department. It was not easy, as they only have one office where they do adults, all the other offices immunize children only. Plus, there are no appointments, so it is first come, first serve, an...
