Just an observation on my part....I am in Nursing IV of a five part ASN program...due to graduate in May 05. My class started out being very large, 112 students. Here we are a little more than a year later and there are about 65 left (For various r...

Does anyone know if it is true that HCC is being investigated due to low first time pass rates of the NCLEX? This is just what I have been hearing but no one seems to know if it is indeed true or not. Can anyone shed some light on this? I go to PC...

EXACTLY !!!! Shouldn't you be making better money in the "bigger" city, no matter if you are an LPN or RN? :wink2:

I thought Lakeland was the lowest in the state...oh hell, pay in Florida sucks !!! :angryfire

Its true that you can only fail a nursing class once, then you retake it. But once you have failed any nursing class, you cant fail another. So if you fail Nursing I and have to retake it, you cant fail another class in the program or you are out. ...

Yes, as long as you maintain a "C", however...a "C" is an 80%. They do not round at all, so a 79.99999% is a failure and it happens alot. There is a lot more rules that they go by. You do have quizzes with the lowest grade dropped but they dont fa...

Half way through Nursing III...looking forward to IV definately !!! As far as I know, for acceptance into the program, and this was the way they did it when I was accepted last Aug. Grades are not really factored in right now. This program is under...

As a current student in the program, you really have to have more than A&P to be considered. You MUST have ALL pre-reqs done or currently enrolled to be considered. That means, A&P I, College Algebra, and Freshman Eng. I. These are the min...

Had an HP desktop too...only lasted 2-3 years..sent it back twice for repair. Ive really thought it might be the "user" But I have never had trouble with any other computers. Ived tried Sony and Dell and have really been impressed with them. No ...

Stay away from the HP's and the Compaqs....I have (had) the 5150 Compaq laptop and have had problems with it from the get go. It overheats, the hard drive has crashed, the floppy has crashed and it has multiple electrical probems...The thing is 1 1/...

This thread kinda reminds me of the old "I just want to get my CNA or LPN to see if I like it, then I will get my R.N. and then BSN and eventually my ARNP." Why not just go straight for the R.N. from the get go? Sounds like a similar mind set to me...

So, does anyone have a "plan" or any realistic ideas on who to talk to or what to do about increasing wages and salaries in this state? Obviously the paper pushers and those who have no idea what nurses actually do as far as responsibility (life and...

I am currently employed at LRMC, but as a Nurse Intern so things are a little different for me. Thus far I have only worked 3 days in the CCU and have found that ALL of the nurses and staff are extremely helpful and answer any questions that I have....

I am currently in the 3rd semester of an ADN program and just accepted a position in the CCU at our local hospital which is level II trauma center. They are EXTREMELY flexible with the scheduling and I was even told by the MICU/CCU manager that they...

a little thought that i like to live by: one day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who said excitedly, "socrates, do you know what i just heard about one of your students?" wait a moment," socrates replied. "before telling me anyth...

Rob, First of all, CONGRATS on your acceptance!!! If it isn't too much trouble, would it be possible for you to share your story? What it took to get in, what your qualifications are, experience, grades and the such? I am VERY interested in the ...

Why is it such a big deal to you guys that the Deans List is printed? I dont have a 4.0 but if I did, I wouldn't mind it published. Its an accomplishment that someone worked hard for and I think they should get the recognition that they deserve. If...

Just do what you think is right for you...screw what other people think or will think. They arent in your shoes and what does it matter to them and why should you care? Just do what you feel is right for you. I'm in an ADN program but will be goin...

In my opinoion, Lakeland is horrible. For various reasons that I really dont want to get into, and I have lived here off and on for 18 years, I wont get into all that is wrong with Lakeland. I have been all over this state and Lakeland is just plai...

Yep...they NEVER tell you that no matter what type of contract you sign with the Army.....ITS ALWAYS EIGHT YEARS!!!! I got lucky and didnt have to do any reserve time after my 2 1/2 year active duty stint but I was still obligated for 5 1/2 years if...

Anyone have any experience with this hospital? Any pros, cons, fair pay and scheduling? Nurse to Pt. ratios? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks:)
