Listen, don't psych yourself out before the fact. You already know math is a weakness for you, we all have them, now you have to work harder on that portion of your schooling. Find some math books, math testing banks and practice until you don't have...

Well, they have done it again! The politicians have stepped in and mucked it all UP! In Florida HB 1209 goes into affect. This bill NOW takes all but two things regarding nursing programs away from the state board of nursing and places it in the hand...

I just wonder how many states are going to follow in this mess? I hope that none do.... I hope that students in other states take notice of this and MAKE SURE that something like this doesn't happen in their states without them knowing about it.

Here is the extended version....As stated above NOW only half the staff has to be a "nurse." Seriously what can someone with a Bachelors or Masters degree in Law or any other degree outside nursing honestly teach nursing students ABOUT nursing? loadd...

The dean of academic affairs is going to send me a copy of what the FBON and DOH has sent the schools so far outlining the exact cuts in curriculum. Luckily my school is NLN accredited, but what about ALL these schools who aren't? It isn't right that...

All I can say is good grief!!!!!

I'd love to see a paper-trail of donations to politicians in Florida from corporations/individuals associated with private for-profit technical colleges. I would to What was the motivation to lower educational standards and why get rid of the Board ...

The fact that established nurses, I know, are upset. They are upset because THEY are the ones who will have to "work with" an already troubled group of people, new graduate nurses. Yes, we know things, but there are WAY more things we don't than do. ...

So a friend of mine who attends a different nursing school than I, called me today and said that their instructor read about this new bill that goes in affect July 1, 2009. Her instructor said that the DOH is now "in charge" of keeping track of nursi...

Ugh....I am so angry. I am contacting fellow students in my school, this is some mess. The other thing that makes it very curious....I like llg thinks someone got to someone to make all this happen in less than 4 months when it was first proposed, is...

http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Bills/billsdetail.aspx?BillId=41499&SessionId=61 That is the bill that passed I spoke with the Dean of Nursing at our school today...sad conversation. She said the Chancellor of our schools had a long talk ...

I am going to give you a piece of job advice first, then clinical advice. If this is truly the place you want to work when you are done, consider the time that you are there an extended nursing interview. If you are walking into a hospital as a "tech...

It is all over Florida, unfortunately. I am in eastern Florida, about 3 hours north of where you are and the job hunt for new grads is as bleak. It is sad, and hard to understand, but several of us are having to move so we can get experience. good lu...

I don't know what "supposed 4 years you state don't acknowledge Keiser" but UCF, University of Florida, and NUMEROUS MAJOR universities I have personally contacted do. You can choose to believe what you want to, but I know what I know. I don't take i...

If I were you I would contact the top 5 schools you are considering applying to once you have finished either school and see if they accept, if either, these schools. I would also, make that contact via email so that you have something in writing sta...

Josh, not only is Keiser accredited through the state they are nationally accredited as well. Yes, when you graduate from Keiser you can take the NCLEX and if you pass you will be a real live RN. Now, you can also go on to get your BSN or MSN after K...

you are right in that not everyone is dangerous, but in the psych clinicals one should always assume the danger is there because if you don't and your turn your back on a patient it could be that patient's time to snap. we saw it several times in our...

Here in Florida, they are called Medical Assistants and they can, among other things, give immunizations, draw blood, do a basic EKG (not interpret), take vitals and such. In almost every doctor's office there are either entirely MA's or almost all M...

The five local hospitals from Orlando to Melbourne are on "grad" hiring freezes. Between this month and July there will be 400 + graduate nurses descending on the area hospitals and you can bet that the local students will most likely get spots over ...

Ok, first off my husband sent this too me, so, you can already tell it is biased as all get-out. I hope you ladies enjoy and learn what is really happening to our SO. Man Flu - The Facts... 1. Man-Flu is more painful than childbirth. This is an irre...

Saw this....needed a good laugh.....got a few....enjoy When you need the money, your shift is cancelled; when you have a weekend planned, you have to do overtime. Realizing the patient you've just injected has a serious infection causes...

Well I am going to graduate in less than 4 months and as an outsider looking in and really beginning to feel the panic of finding a place to work that won't throw me quickly alone to commit any number of medical mistakes, I have noticed one thing in ...

Here in Sunny Florida, I work as a tech, one of the "job requirements" is to let the staffing office know when your expected grad date is, and if it changes, YES they do call the school intermittently. The day AFTER we graduate our jobs as nurse tech...

RN2BEE84 I am SOO SORRY you had such a frightful experience. Did you get the NET study book? I used it and I swear the test had the same stuff on it. Yes, there were math problems like that on the one that I took too but they are in the study book. H...
