  1. Anyone applied to UF's accelerated BSN?

    mcs1505 replied to frogger15's topic in Florida Nursing

    They're just as required as class, if not more so: they're your labs. For Comm & HA you'll be learning different assessment techniques and every 2-3 weeks you'll go in and perform your assessment...

  2. Anyone applied to UF's accelerated BSN?

    mcs1505 replied to frogger15's topic in Florida Nursing

    FYI... Derrico is AH-MAZING. Go to his review sessions. Use his tutors. All his test Qs for Patho come from the notes, most come from the notes for Comm&HA too, so GO TO CLASS. (This may seem...

  3. Lesbian L and D nurse

    mcs1505 replied to AudreyHurston's topic in Ob/Gyn

    well, if you would actually read what i said before than you'd know my request wouldn't be "no lesbian nurses" (duh) but would be "i want a different female nurse." because i'd only request it if i...

  4. Lesbian L and D nurse

    mcs1505 replied to AudreyHurston's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I never said I felt uncomfortable with GLBTs because I'd had a bad experience with them. *rolls eyes* I had I'd had a bad experience with "the opposite sex." Do I have to spell it out for you!?...

  5. Lesbian L and D nurse

    mcs1505 replied to AudreyHurston's topic in Ob/Gyn

    i said that i wasn't going to ask, but if somehow i knew, it would make me uncomfortable. basically what you don't know can't hurt you? i dunno. it's just the way i feel. i didn't say anything about...

  6. Lesbian L and D nurse

    mcs1505 replied to AudreyHurston's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think that if you want to OB, you should. I think there's plenty of room for people of all backgrounds in all specialty areas. That said, I would be uncomfortable with a lesbian L&D nurse, or a...

  7. Anyone applied to UF's accelerated BSN?

    mcs1505 replied to frogger15's topic in Florida Nursing

    Speaking for the class of 09, you're not even close to being alone. There were a few of us who had worked as a tech in the hospital or in the field, but I can only think of 5 or 6 (out of 60) though...

  8. Anyone applied to UF's accelerated BSN?

    mcs1505 replied to frogger15's topic in Florida Nursing

    First of all, congrats to everyone who got accepted. I have 98 days left but still remember the day that orange envelope showed up. I kind of glanced through and wanted to clear up some stuff for...

  9. Interview disasters

    mcs1505 replied to Bellarubia18's topic in General Nursing

    So true, this is what happened to me. I thought the interviewer really didn't like me, I didn't feel like myself and felt like I hadn't satisfied them. Overall horrible interview IMO. But I just...

  10. Cincinnati Children's ER

    mcs1505 posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    I was just offered a job in the ED upon graduation and was wondering if anyone worked there how they feel about it? When I took my tour it was pretty dead and I wasn't able to speak with any of the...

  11. Anyone applied to UF's accelerated BSN?

    mcs1505 replied to frogger15's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey guys! I got my letter in the beginning of March last year. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. (I don't like discussing my GPA/GRE scores out in the open on the boards.) Best of

  12. Looking for ABSN program which is better? UM, Barry, MDC, FIU or NOVA?

    mcs1505 replied to Den1978's topic in Florida Nursing

    UF and UCF have ABSN programs too. I'm at UF if you have any spec. q's you can message

  13. New Grad in ER in Dayton/Cincy?

    mcs1505 posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'll be graduating in June and moving back home to Ohio. I was wondering if any of you knew the chances of getting a job in the ER right out of school. I have EMS background but that's it. Thanks....

  14. Rant/question about NCLEX

    mcs1505 posted a topic in General Students

    The students in my program were told today for the first time that even though we graduate the second week of June, our school won't send our final transcripts to the BON until the end of August. We...

    mcs1505 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!!! and don't make that a mass email that you send to everyone in the flipping class except for the professors you are angry with! what is this, 7th grade?! most of us find you...

  16. What kind of injuries do MVA victims get?

    mcs1505 replied to linda2097's topic in Emergency

    I'm still a student but on the trauma floor this semester I had my share of MVAs and I think between them they had pretty much every injury possible covered. It seems the one they had most in common...

  17. Does your hospital allow you to say "Merry Christmas"??

    mcs1505 replied to VU RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I usually forget to anything of the sort, but when someone says "Happy Holidays" it makes me twitch. Not because of what they're saying but because I immediately assume they have been told by upper...

  18. Rant/question about NCLEX

    mcs1505 replied to mcs1505's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone. It definitely does have us all "climbing the tower" but several people in the program have been complaining very loudly about minor things for months so everyone is kind of ignoring...

  19. Rant/question about NCLEX

    mcs1505 replied to mcs1505's topic in General Students

    "We've always done it that way" ...and I'm totally serious about that. But it also the end of all the summer classes. Even though Summer A (practicum) ends in the middle of

  20. Is there any type of nursing....

    mcs1505 replied to wabashcannon's topic in General Nursing

    If you're shy you could do ICU I guess, a lot of those patients are sedated, but not all of them. There's also a lot of nursing research that needs done too. But nurse-patient interaction is a lot...

  21. EMT becoming a nurse

    mcs1505 replied to emtj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Amen and amen! So true! I graduate in June and, you guessed it, I'm an EMT. Most of the help came at the beginning, I wasn't nervous to learn assessment skills or be tested on them (if you handled...

  22. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    mcs1505 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Ugh! So you missed a question on the exam, learn from it and move on! Don't post multiple comments on the class discussion board about how horrible the question was and how you deserve to get it...

  23. Students: Prefer morning or evening clinicals?

    mcs1505 replied to ashandjune's topic in General Students

    I prefer evenings because I'm a night owl and looooooooooove sleeping in. It makes me feel more alert so I feel like a better nurse. However, mornings are good because there's more to do and I get...

  24. "Suspected Child Abuse Team"?

    mcs1505 posted a topic in Emergency

    I'm doing a paper on child abuse cases being missed in the ER for my grad class and something I found was a team comprised of a specialized Dr., nurse, radiologist and social worker who are called on...

  25. "Suspected Child Abuse Team"?

    mcs1505 replied to mcs1505's topic in Emergency

    Exactly. And from what I've read the team also works very closely with law enforcement and children's services so they've developed relationships with people in these fields which assists with...
