    Jennerizer replied to amyrae76's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    At my school, we had to take the ERI tests all throughout the 2 years while in the program. If we didn't pass an exam, we had to go to a review. We had to pass the final Pre-RN exam in order to...

    What kind of pay can I expect as Bsn RN in ICU in Tampa Bay area???

    Jennerizer replied to andeocuvar's topic in Florida Nursing

    There are quite a few hospitals that have a loan payback as part of their offer. I believe the state of Florida is what funds it (in order to recruit nurses), so it should be available no matter...

    ER the T.V. Show

    Jennerizer replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    I love ER. You have to remember, it's a drama, not a reality show. If you want reality, turn on the Discovery Channel - they have some great documentaries on nursing as well as an actual ER. On a...

    Should all nursing students be required to be a CNA for one year?

    Jennerizer replied to SophieMae's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it should be a requirement, but I do think it is quite helpful for those that are not comfortable in the clinical situation. I became a PCT after my first year of nursing school &...
