  1. For those who live in Miami

    Yes, those are the minimum requirements to apply and get in the program. But you will still need to take some other classes to satisfy the degree requirements. They are: -Humanities course with...
  2. For those who live in Miami

    No problem! Here's the link: https://allnurses.com/fl-nursing-programs/ Broward does have a pretty scary rep. When I read all the posts about them, I'm not going to lie, I was terrified. LOL But once...
  3. For those who live in Miami

    I live in Miami. I actually just finished my third semester at Broward College. I took most of my pre-reqs at Miami-Dade College, but decided to go with Broward, because the wait was shorter. Have...
  4. I took NCLEX-RN today; here are my thoughts...

    Thanks for the info. I visited the website and will definitely consider investing in this.
  5. Can you work and go to nursing school?

    I started school last May and resigned from my job. My RN program is set-up more like a part-time schedule, where we basically only have two days of lecture and one day of clinicals. So after the...
  6. Pick your battles with your LNA.....

    I think this is the part that is confusing people. What does this mean,
  7. Major Vent

    I'm sure this is a bit of a touchy subject for some, but I have to agree with the OP. I actually live in Miami, and most of the times it seems English is the second language. I am half hispanic, but...
  8. I agree. I don't post a whole lot, but I do read often. And I have to say, that while I respect the feelings and points of the OP, I don't get why this is such a big deal. People on here seem so...
  9. C's In Nursing School

    Well yeah, we can't continue if we don't pass either. LOL But my school counts 73% as passing, which is a C. They like to tell us it stands for "continue", because many of us were A and B students...
  10. C's In Nursing School

    This is exactly what we are told in my current RN program, that a C = continue. I wouldn't stress over getting a C here and there. Nursing school is not easy and you should be proud that you are...
  11. My shortest job was 3 weeks. It was my first and last attempt at case management. It seemed like my dream job initially. Then when I realized how far behind they were on paperwork for that particular...
  12. Asking for my old job back

    Maybe you can sign up with a couple of agencies, while continuing to look for something more permanent. There are a variety of areas to choose from. At least that would bring you some income in the...
  13. Is it worth it to keep trying? Desperate for answers!

    I agree with the others. Don't give up on it. There are plenty of places where you can work, that wouldn't be as intense as a hospital. That's the beauty of this field. And maybe once you gain...
  14. To quit or not to quit

    I agree with your decision. While "quitting" isn't always the answer, every situation is different. If you were considering leaving because of the way you're being treated, BUT, you loved your job, I...
  15. How far did you or are commuting to and from work/school?

    I'm currently in an LPN-RN transition program, and I drive 70 miles round trip to get to school. The monthly gas and toll do add up. But this was the quickest way to finish my RN, so I decided to make...
  16. My 8 year old daughter wants to be a veterinarian and part-time chef. LOL I try to instill in her that while it's important to get into something that makes her happy, she should also try and get into...
  17. Took out wrong person's IV

    Everyone on here (nurse or otherwise) has made mistakes, whether they were aware of them or not. This is bound to happen, based on the kind of job that we do and the fact that we are only human. Even...
  18. Hospice Nursing

    I began working home hospice cases 8 months ago, when I started my RN program. I figured that it would be slow-paced and not overwhelm me, since I'd already be overly stressed with school. I didn't...
  19. I agree 100%. And you could also try the library. It's not that there aren't plenty of knowledgeable people on this site. But you should do your own research, so that you will actually learn and...
  20. Sign announcing you're an RN on your car?

    You might have something there. LOL The last TWO times I've been pulled over, I was let off. The first time, the cop asked what I did for a living after he gave me back my license. I said I was a...
  21. I worked 7 straight, 13 hour night shifts on a hospice case. I needed extra money for my vacation that was coming up. :sofahider Luckily, the case was very easy, and the patient was only on continuous...
  22. Why????????

    This is my experience also. There were many times we would have loved to send residents out "just to get rid of them". But unfortunately, those really annoying ones never seemed to go anywhere. If...
  23. does night shift make you fat?

    Based on my experience, you don't HAVE to gain weight on night shift, but it is much easier to do, especially if you already have weight issues. The only time I have ever lost weight on nights, was...
  24. Forced to Quit My Job To Follow My Dreams

    Congrats on being accepted to nursing school! You have your foot in the door. This is your dream and you are about to make it come true. It's too late to turn back now, so don't let that be an option....
  25. Introduction - along with a few questions

    I agree. My sister and I are considering moving to another state within the next two years. I'm currently an LPN in an RN program, and she's a teacher in a master's program. We will both graduate in...
