  1. For those who live in Miami

    EmmyBee replied to yisy4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    EmmyBee replied to yisy4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    EmmyBee replied to yisy4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

    EmmyBee replied to TheCommuter's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for the info. I visited the website and will definitely consider investing in this.

  5. Can you work and go to nursing school?

    EmmyBee replied to Spikey74's topic in General Students

    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.....

    EmmyBee replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

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

  7. Major Vent

    EmmyBee replied to LouisVRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    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. Where are all of the "experienced nurses hiding?"

    EmmyBee replied to SWS RN's topic in General Nursing

    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

    EmmyBee replied to redraider1977's topic in General Nursing

    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

    EmmyBee replied to redraider1977's topic in General Nursing

    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. what is the shortest amount of time you've lasted at a nursing job?

    EmmyBee replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    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

    EmmyBee replied to Destiny12's topic in General Nursing

    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!

    EmmyBee replied to americanlatina313's topic in General Nursing

    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

    EmmyBee replied to syndeytish's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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?

    EmmyBee replied to luckystudentnurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    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. Just wondering... what would you want your kids to do for a living?

    EmmyBee replied to labrador4122's topic in General Nursing

    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

    EmmyBee replied to jess17's topic in General Nursing

    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

    EmmyBee replied to Nurse2919's topic in General 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. Help!!! How has Nursing evolved over the past 10yrs??

    EmmyBee replied to Emile's topic in General Nursing

    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?

    EmmyBee replied to Perpetual Student's topic in General Nursing

    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. What is the most you've worked (days) without having a day off?

    EmmyBee replied to Nightingale11's topic in General Nursing

    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????????

    EmmyBee replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    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?

    EmmyBee replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in General Nursing

    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

    EmmyBee replied to Queenqmw's topic in General Nursing

    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

    EmmyBee replied to HusbandOfANurse2B's topic in General Nursing

    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...
