2. Anyone apply to USF NP program 2013?

   hubcapgirl replied to AlphaPig's topic in NP Students

   I applied for the adult-gero acute care program and haven't heard a thing. I have one friend on the wait list for adult-gero primary care and another friend who was accepted weeks ago into the family program.

3. Clinicals...ugghhhhh

   hubcapgirl replied to Nicole2010's topic in General Students

   There is just so much to learn. Just when I thought I was getting the hang of things the semester ended. My next clinical rotation was at another facility with new fangled beds, a completely different computer system, and so on. Nothing like a fancy ...

4. Not allowed to tape nursing lectures

   hubcapgirl replied to Amy'sGrandbaby's topic in General Students

   Not that I am an authority on nursing programs, but I've never heard of a no-taping rule. We are allowed to tape all of our lectures...just a little surprised.

5. Cost of books first semester?

   hubcapgirl replied to Mat4mel's topic in General Students

   I bought all of my books online; mostly Amazon and half.com. I paid about half of what it would have cost me at the bookstore. Our bookstore's website doesn't give IBSN numbers, but it lists the title, author and edition; that has been enough for m...

6. someone help me out. give me input

   hubcapgirl replied to 2bnursesim22's topic in General Students

   I have to agree with Jules A. One less year of tuition will certainly outway any extra gas expenses now. It takes me a half hour to get to school on a good day and I leave an hour before class starts in case it's a bad day. It's not bad at all.

7. How to study?

   hubcapgirl replied to Seagate's topic in General Students

   If I just read out of my text-books I get bored and my mind starts to wander. I take notes while I am reading the text on anything I think I might need to know for the test. Writing the notes makes me pay attention to what I am reading. It takes l...

8. RANT: Orientation

   hubcapgirl replied to missjennmb's topic in General Students

   I feel for all of you who had a dissapointing orientation. Until reading your posts I didn't realize how lucky I was. Our teacher explained the importance of time management, that we don't always have to get A's, and most importantly that they, the...

9. Anyone over the age of 30 taking the ACT?

   hubcapgirl replied to TNMommy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I got a 29. I think to get the full 50 points for the ACT at my school you need a 24 so hopefully that score will be good for you. I was shooting for a 24 and was pleasantly surprised with my score. I got a 35 for both english and reading which of...

10. Anyone over the age of 30 taking the ACT?

    hubcapgirl replied to TNMommy's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am 33 and took the ACT in February. I was really concerned because it's been so long since high school, but I did well. My girlfriend did well too and she is 39. I used the ACT study guide and timed myself taking the practice tests. Time is yo...

    I don't know anyone yet that has taken the HESI. Anything I find out about the test I will post here. Have a great weekend!

    FL-MOM...The program starts Summer B, but I have no clue when they will let us know. The applications are due May 15th so I won't now anything until after the deadline and it will probably be closer to when the program starts...we shall see. I will...

13. Edison College

    hubcapgirl replied to StudentNurseMichelle's topic in Florida

    I turned in my application today for the day program; I have around 90 points. At orientation we were told that 70 points should get you in so I'm staying positive. Waiting to find out if I get accepted is going to be brutal.

14. Grading scale for Nusing school???

    hubcapgirl replied to COLPN's topic in General Students

    I don't know the cut off for As & Bs, but at Edison College anything less than a 77 is failing and there is no rounding.

15. Edison College

    hubcapgirl replied to StudentNurseMichelle's topic in Florida

    I hope to get accepted for the nursing program at Edison (Lee County) starting Summer 08. I have a lot of points so I feel pretty confident that I will get in. I have one last class to take, Human Growth & Development, which I start on Thursday. ...
