  1. Any new grad L&D programs?

    Try Florida Hospital in Orlando. I think they have an OB GN
  2. How soon is too soon?

    A lot of the GN programs expect you to have a job lined up in your last semester of nursing school so you have something to start when you finish. I would start now because it is going to get...
  3. FCCJ Fall 09 RN

    I sincerely recommend getting the blue Saunders book and getting the HESI book. I am not sure if it was one of the books enclosed in your box but I can get the exact titles if I need to. Those were...

  6. FCCJ Fall 09 RN

    You can wear whatever. I know people in the past have worn the same color so that they know they are from allnurses.com. Target has name tags for a $1 if you guys wanna do that lol. I know I...
  7. New Grad Moving To Jacksonville Beach Area

    I don't know what the situation is going to be like in October because the nurse managers I talked to are all sure that with the flu season coming, jobs will open up. But I think it is going to be...
  8. Job Interview confusion

    This same thing happened to me, and the nurse manager told me that if a position does open, she would let me know. Hint: Go on about how you have always wanted to do NICU and you feel like you belong...
  9. FCCJ Fall 09 RN

    Ahh okay, thank you!! I think I had the teacher you had for my 1st term =). But anyways, ask around, because I would hate to throw them away. See if anyone needs an extra one (I know some people...

  12. FCCJ Fall '09???

    My friend has 193 pts, lives in Duval county, and still has not heard anything either. So it may not be just you
  13. FCCJ Fall '09???

    Sorry if my post was not up-to-date. I bought one, used it for my 25 BP on ppl and then it now sits on a shelf. That was a waste of money to me. But if you need it more now, then buy one by all...
  14. FCCJ Fall '09???

    I would not get a BP cuff if you know someone that has one. You only use it for Health Assessment for about two weeks. I would not get the lab coat either. It was a waste of money as most people...
  15. FCCJ Fall '09???

    The pants, which I recommend you do, you can get from anywhere. Popular ones in my class were ones with slits at the bottom and some of the girls had flare style ones. I don't know if you will all...
  16. FCCJ Fall 2008

    I thought about doing that but the cost of doing it just to turn around and get my RN outweighed the benefits. You more than likely won't get a job as an LPN in hospital, probably more like a LTC or...
  17. FCCJ Fall '09???

    I had three careplans. And they did not grade them that hard. But I had a careplan Nazi 2nd term so my careplans are thorough so I really do not know about how strict they are with them. Some of my...
  18. FCCJ Fall '09???

    I am in my last semester now I think 2nd term, Adult Health I was the hardest. Term I just has a lot of time consuming activities and it is also the semester where you have to have the most community...
  19. I was wondering how long between actual graduation and sitting for boards. I want to try to get a job by October and my graduation is August 17th. How long was it for you and how far in advance did...

  21. Hiring ADN vs. BSN

    I will be graduating with my ADN next month and I had the same concerns. I actually went to talk to a magnet hospital in Jacksonville and the key words in an interview are that you plan on continuing...
  22. FCCJ Fall 2008

    We had to have 10 when I was in Peds, but I heard you guys only have to do 2. If no one replies, I will check with Macke and let you know!
  23. I am going to be one of the team leaders for my class this week and I want to make a good impression. Does anyone have any tips for new nurses, as far as what to do when you first walk into the room,...
  24. FCCJ Fall '09???

    I personally think it is stupid that they do not consider outside counties. What other program do we have to choose from, except SJRCC and private colleges in the area? I know I would want a nurse...
  25. Concorde in Jacksonville?

    I would rather go the community college route but don't want to wait another year to apply again (didn't get it for fall 09). I know FCCJ's deadline for fall '09 is not until June 1st. And you can...
