  1. Going to have a student!

    misswhitney replied to ShayRN's topic in General Students

    I hate it when my nurse acts like I am stupid when I don't know how to do something or have never done it and would like her to watch me and correct me in a way that does not make me look stupid in...

  2. Whats your clinical instructor/student ratio? Should I change a program..

    misswhitney replied to miniangel729's topic in General Students

    Our ratio is 10-12 in clinical and I feel like I have had a good experience. I am in a CC-16 month program. I see my instructor every clinical. I think it just depends on how long you are there,...

  3. Central Florida OB Hospitals

    misswhitney replied to pmeeksSN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Florida Hospital has a GN program for OB and Peds. It is really tough to get on the OB floor though; someone has to be leaving or retiring because once you get on, you just don't leave. Good luck...

  5. FCCJ Summer 2009, anyone?

    misswhitney replied to SummerHopeful's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh and if you fail a class also, you have to wait for a spot to open up. I think the first term is the hardest to get back into. A girl in my section did not pass pharm her first term, and had to...

  6. Too Young?

    misswhitney replied to Jennifer0512's topic in General Students

    I am 20 and will be 21 when I graduate with my RN and 22 when I graduate with my BSN. A lot of patients do not want me to lift them because I am so small and sometimes they think I am teenage...

  7. cheating classmate

    misswhitney replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    OMG....Where do you go to school because it sounds like the same situation I had my first semester! We had a lady that knew English only as a second language, and we saw her have answers written on...

  8. Getting discouraged with internships

    misswhitney replied to kgh31386's topic in General Students

    Bug, bug, bug HR! My friend told me for her to get a job, she had to go to the hospital she wanted to work for, filled out an application there, online, and handed them her resume and faxed it to them...

  9. OB/Peds Class......

    misswhitney replied to jorla9903's topic in General Students

    To kinda go with FLmomof5...I had my son 2 years ago and I can tell you the nurse made my experience...She was awesome...She even stayed at change of shift so she could be there when I gave birth,...

  10. OB/Peds Class......

    misswhitney replied to jorla9903's topic in General Students

    Hi! I am in my ob rotation right now and I am excited! Just because you have done the skill before on a dummy does not mean they are going to throw you out to the wolves by yourself. I did meds by...

  11. Time Management

    misswhitney replied to sproeber89's topic in General Students

    I make myself a schedule. It keeps me motivated and I enjoy feeling like I did something I was suppose to. A to-do list also helps, but a schedule helps you to keep track of how much time on...

  12. FCCJ "cut off" points

    misswhitney replied to miss rochelle's topic in Florida Nursing

    The new rule is in affect starting this summer, as I know someone who is a clay resident who got in for spring, and she was near the cut off in points. Oh well, all of my friends have gotten in...

  13. FCCJ "cut off" points

    misswhitney replied to miss rochelle's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think they are going to be doing that from now on because there are A LOT of Clay students there. It sucks, and while it may be a factor for next semester, I have a feeling that a lot of students...

  14. LPN/Rn bridge programs in Ocala or near from Ohio

    misswhitney replied to bigmac's topic in Florida Nursing

    I know you will have to get a license from Florida to practice here. Not too sure about all the details surrounding that, but I am sure someone will reply to this and let you know. =) As for the...

  15. One Week into Nursing school & I'm going nuts already!!!

    misswhitney replied to waiting2BeANurse's topic in Florida Nursing

    I know at my school they kinda use the first semester to weed out people. They make it hard to make sure you can handle being a nurse. After that first semester, it has just seemed to fly by. You...

  16. FCCJ "cut off" points

    misswhitney replied to miss rochelle's topic in Florida Nursing

    The reason they only let you take it twice a year is because they give you the same test. Focus on the areas you did bad in, because FCCJ takes the highest score from however many times you take it....

  17. FCCJ "cut off" points

    misswhitney replied to miss rochelle's topic in Florida Nursing

    You can get loans, and if you have a grant left over from the year, then it helps pay then. But they do not give you any more money. My friend got into Fall with 183 points, so it is

  18. FCCJ "cut off" points

    misswhitney replied to miss rochelle's topic in Florida Nursing

    Our cutoff for Summer 2008 was 180, I am pretty sure. Financial Aid does not pay (except WorkSource) for summer, thus less applicants. Fall, I believe, is that hardest to get

  19. FCCJ Summer 2009, anyone?

    misswhitney replied to SummerHopeful's topic in Florida Nursing

    Ohh noo...I am good. Thank you though! My book voucher does not cover all my chemistry stuff and I have to pay a deductible...so yeah...but thank you for

  20. TIPS FOR NEW NURSING STUDENTS - Clinicals Part 1

    misswhitney replied to StepbyStep's topic in General Students

    Good advice! I wish someone would have told me these when I first started. lol Another one: If you have a contact patient, make sure you assess what you need for the day before you leave and write it...

  21. FCCJ Fall 2008

    misswhitney replied to kjl221's topic in Florida Nursing

    Psych and Leadership are the easiest things in the world. I loved them and wish every semester was like that

  22. FCCJ Summer 2009, anyone?

    misswhitney replied to SummerHopeful's topic in Florida Nursing

    I do not think you can. But you can always call the nursing office or just submit an application anyways. I ended up having to take my Chemistry online because I could not fit it all in at SJRCC....

  23. Clinical scrubs

    misswhitney replied to notthereyet0's topic in General Students

    If possible, I would mail back the scrub pants and get my money back. I say if possible, because most schools do not care if you buy the pants from the scrub store they suggest, as long as they are...

  24. FCCJ Spring 2009

    misswhitney replied to boRNtobe0312's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey NJFek (because you will probably be the only one to see this lol) I am going to be buddy!! Sooo on Monday you can probably meet me (and whoever else wants to).

  25. What a terrible way to start off the new year

    misswhitney replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    You are only 23! It will not take you another 7+ years to graduate nursing school. Even with the waiting lists and how long you have to do all your pre-reqs, you will not be too old to be a nurse....
