  1. Doctors get free food...ALL the time?!

    Nips replied to Little_Mouse's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital makes physicians, PAs, RNFAs, and CRNAs pay a fee each year(about $500.00) that covers all their meals, drinks and snacks. Although they don't stand in line to pay, they still have to pay...

  2. <NEW GRAD for a year now, NO JOB!

    Nips replied to Winnie93's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with the other two posts. I faced a similar situation. No one wanted to hire a new grad unless they had their BSN. I took the first and only job offered to me and began working on my BSN. I...

    Nips posted a topic in Operating Room

    How would you classify this wound: Scenario: your patient is scheduled to have a right BKA. The doctor's pre-op DX is gangrene of the right foot. The patient is draped out for a normal extremity case...

    Nips replied to Nips's topic in Operating Room

    Nips replied to starmickey03's topic in Florida Nursing

    I got accepted to both the bridge and generic MDC ADN program options with a 3.26. I just got accepted to the BSN program with the same GPA. I am not sure about all the criteria that they look at when...

  6. MDC - LPN to RN Online

    Nips replied to sugah-dumplin's topic in Florida Nursing

    I completed the online bridge program at MDC in December 2008. What did you want to know about the program in particular? I can tell you that it beats having to drive to the campus, but it is a lot of...

  7. MDC 4th Semester LEADERSHIP

    Nips replied to SouthernAsh's topic in Florida Nursing

    I did the nursing program online (I was in the Bridge Program) last year but I think that Leadership is the same for all. You can expect to be more on your own. You will still have a preceptor, but...

    Nips posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nips replied to Nips's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was going to do Suzanne's plan but I did not have enough time to do it. I believe that once you send her your information correctly via PM, you will be added to the mailing list. It may take a few...

  12. Hurst Review, Is it worth it?

    Nips replied to jjhunt's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think that the Hurst review was really great for content review, I felt very confident about my abilities to answer questions. With a good foundation of content, you can answer questions without...

  15. What is the work situation like in Florida at this time?

    Nips replied to suzanne4's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hello Suzanne, I am a new grad (Dec 2008) and from what I've heard, the job market for new grads is not looking too good. I have met several people that are even considering leaving the state just to...

  16. Has anyone used Morrison Media NCLEX Secrets to study with???

    Nips replied to BarkyBryan1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am doing the same thing. I am taking the live Hurst review course with the online component. When I get home after the lectures I do the Saunders and ATI questions that correspond to what I learn. I...

    Nips posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  20. NCLEX -RN Review Course

    Nips replied to Alicia721's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have heard good things about it and even considered doing the course here in Miami, but it conflicts with my work schedule, so I can't take the course. You can get a sneak peek at the course by...

  21. NCLEX -RN Review Course

    Nips replied to Alicia721's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The Feuer review course is offered in New York. Check out www.f-n-r.net. It was developed by a nurse and it offers live sessions and home study options. However, it seems to be a bit more expensive...

  22. Miami Dade College

    Nips replied to Ltorres5351's topic in Florida Nursing

    I was able to retain a lot of what I learned because many of the same concepts are repeated throughout the pre-reqs and in the nursing program. For instance, chemistry and nutrition are linked in some...

  24. Miami Dade College

    Nips replied to Ltorres5351's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, they should offer all those classes in the summer. Classes in the summer semester can be taken in 12 week or in two 6 week increments. From personal experience I would not suggest taking courses...

    How long can you keep the book once you've rented it? We used the same med-surg book for med-surg one and two. I had med-surg 1 from Jan-May and then had med-surg two from Aug-Nov. Can you keep the...
