I'm doing a project on the different religious/cultural beliefs that sometimes clash with the suggested treatment because I think as nurses we should be aware so that we can have alternatives for our patients. So far I have found Jehovah's Witnesses...

Yes, Keep us posted :)

If you already have a bachelors, why don't you try an accelerated program? U of Cincy has one that gets you your MSN in two years. I would assume you could fall out after 1 year with your BSN. It's worth looking into. I moved to FL to attend UFs ...

While I agree that new grads need to realize that they are indeed at the bottom of the totem pole, there is a difference between entitlement and pursuing your dream job. When I entered my program I knew I wanted a position in a Pediatric ER in Ohio. ...

How'd you get your Basic certs at 16? The National Registry requires you to be at least 18 years old... Anyway. I got into a residency program in the ER at Cincinnati Childrens in Ohio. It's a year long preceptorship plus classes. They supposedly...

So does Cincinnati Childrens in Ohio: they offered me a job in the ER as soon as I pass NCLEX. I came from Florida to get it. I just kept calling and asking what I needed to do. Then I traveled up there to interview.

When we got the box they explained that the ebooks were just electronic copies of the book. And they were all on one CD together. The access code is completely different than the ebook. The code just gives you access to a section of evolve's websit...

You don't need any of the ebooks. They are EXACTLY the same as the text, only on a CD. So basically you are buying two of each book when you buy the box. Ridiculous? Yes. The only way this works is if there are two of you willing to split the pr...

Sorry Ty (and anyone else) but the books (and scrubs) are taken.

You'll need at least one pair of white scrubs (two for the fall since you'll have two days of clinicals back to back). As for colored scrubs to wear to lab: I know a couple girls who only owned two pairs of colored scrubs as well. I personally had 3...

In addition to what you have already, I'd say you need: Physical Assessment, the Clinicals Skills & Techniques books, and the Med-Surg manual because they do assign readings from those books and test over the readings. Sometimes it's not covered...

I saw a couple people mentioning buying books: I was planning on selling mine to the used bookstore but if you can get them in the next couple days (before Wednesday afternoon), send me a PM and we can set something up. I'm pretty flexible on price....

We're in our Peds rotation right now and I absolutely looooooooooooooooooove working with the 4-17 yo age bracket, but babies and toddlers not so much. I was just offered a Peds ER job after graduation and really want to take it but it worries me t...

Hey guys, I'm not sure if any of you care or anything, but they sent out the emails about the football ticket lottery today and I just wanted to encourage you to enter. I didn't because I didn't like football and thought I wouldn't have the money bu...

I don't know about ya'lls program of course, but this year we had like 8 guys I think. I would think they'd probably try and admit about the same number if possible...

FYI, there is a fee associated with paying online via ISIS with a credit card. I recommend sending a check if you want to do it before you actually get on campus.

Yes, you get the whole week off :-D Whether or not you feel like you can travel is an individual decision. I went home to the panhandle, and I also went to NY the first weekend of June, so it's possible. Lots of people did travel, so it's entirely...

Yes, mine are running shoes. Just no holes. Yes and no. Yes, if you are new to UF then your UF GPA is brand new (unfortunately). But also no, you still have your overall cumulative GPA that averages all your grades from all the undergraduate col...

I'm moving to Cinci this summer to start work and I'm desperate to find a place to live. I've tried all the websites but not really sure where the good areas are. I'm trying to find a halfway point between downtown (where I'll be working) and the New...

We had 60 get into our program but several (15?) seats came from grant money given to the VA in Gainesville which partners with UF's college of nursing.

Yes! No need to ruin perfectly good tops or going through a bazillion patches by sewing them on to all your scrubs. Hey, side note since you already graduated: was HESI as bad as they made it out to be? They're telling us all that we only have to g...

No. Mine are New Balance running shoes. A lot of us just have sneakers. I think they said they were ok if they didn't have holes as long as there was a back. It comes down to whether or not that little strap is going to keep your shoes on if you...

Wow I totally missed the "and/or shoes" last time. So sorry. I wear running shoes. I bought official nursing shoes but they hurt my feet after a few hours. The "white shoes" rule can be bent a little: mine are white and silver with a little light ...

True, I forgot about the codes. However, if you buy the books new on Amazon they should come with the codes. If you buy them used just ask if the codes are intact. Sometimes it's even worth it to just pay the $60 if you get a good enough deal on a b...
