  1. trouble pronoucing some medical words

    studentinnursing replied to aflac381's topic in General Students

    LOL - my last professor pronounced it the very same way! I have been doing medical transcription for 15 years and had NEVER heard it like that, ravioli/alveoli?! HOWEVER, I have heard some funky...

  2. Curious About Drop-out Rate In Nursing School

    studentinnursing replied to CeilingCat's topic in General Students

    I know my NCLEX pass rate, 97%, and we have selective admission. But, as sad as it is, just cause we all want to be nurses doesn't mean we are all cut out to be or that we'll make it through, one...

  3. Labs for possible MI???

    studentinnursing replied to momandstudent's topic in General Students

    I am just a medical transcriptionist (currently) but I think ABGs are needed for MI

  4. Older Nursing students

    studentinnursing replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

    Oh, and once you've been through this . . . Speech I was scared to death of, right, but I had plenty of friends from A&P who all had to take the same class and a lot were late 20s or my age; none...

  5. Older Nursing students

    studentinnursing replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

    Yep. I am 37, two boys ages 2 and 9, and going through a divorce (not a bad one thank God) and it was hard; I'm doing Microbiology right now and the rest of the gen ed for my AA while I'm waiting for...

  6. School question

    studentinnursing replied to Kayla1605's topic in General Students

    Check out Saint Petersburg College; it takes a little longer than a career college, but you'll be an RN when you're done, and if you felt like going further or doing the RN at USF, UF, etc., all your...

  7. Confused about schools and programs

    studentinnursing replied to Meeko15's topic in General Students

    After you talk to your advisor, talk to two more unless you are very familiar with them. I have had great professors point me toward advisors, so that helps if you know the school. I'm not kidding;...

  8. Older Nursing students

    studentinnursing replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

    I am "nontraditional" as well, 37 years old, 2 kids, just divorced after 19 years, yikes! All I can think is I really must want to do this, as I believe I was born to do it, but every day I get...

  9. Got into Excelsior!

    studentinnursing replied to TrickieTam's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for the info; at least I know how they do some of it! I did download a brochure earlier (24 pages) but have been working and packing all day. Self motivation I am not worried about, been...

  10. Got into Excelsior!

    studentinnursing replied to TrickieTam's topic in Online Distance Learning

    So I have been on and off the allnurses forum since last year when I started my prereq's. Now I can finally apply after this semester; will just need micro in Spring but can apply at my community...

  11. the road to CRNA

    studentinnursing replied to RN41's topic in MICU, SICU

    First, I am not a CRNA or SRNA, but I have really researched this; I am 36 and I didn't want to "waste" time doing something that might be in the wrong direction once I decided to go back to school,...

  12. Diploma Program a bad idea?

    studentinnursing replied to jadedgreeneyes's topic in General Nursing

    I am not an RN and only working on my prereq's (applying FINALLY in Spring!! yay). But I have researched a lot. It really seems to depend on what you want to do in the long run, if you know, some...

  13. Online TEAS entrance exam study

    studentinnursing replied to Mt8386's topic in General Nursing

    This is "the" company that puts out the test, and study guide is available specifically for their TEAS; I believe it's the only company that does TEAS, but I do not know that as a fact....

  14. Students not working while going to school....

    studentinnursing replied to CLJ1988's topic in General Students

    I'm just finishing prereq's this Fall and applying in Spring for nursing. I have an at-home medical transcription job, which is great and they are very supportive and flexible. I had daycare for a...

  15. Unemployement office pays you to go to school

    studentinnursing replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know this is an old post, but yes, in Florida it is true. I cannot get subsidized childcare, been on the waiting list for a year; I would have to pay $350 per week, yes per week, to have one child...

  16. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

    studentinnursing replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN to RN

    Yeah, I finally realized it would be too much to do both, and then I found out (I'm learning) I wouldn't be able to work in ICU as a CNA; I wanted some experience even if I was just changing sheets in...

  17. Does it matter where you get your BSN?

    studentinnursing replied to Salesman217's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Most are accredited by "southeastern so-and-so," but check to see if they are also NLN accredited, most are not. AANA told me to check for

  18. St. Petersburg College Fl

    studentinnursing replied to NRSNFL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I understand; I think your theory makes perfect sense :) I was told today by the advisor that it is not the HESI; and she repeatedly called the exit exam "end of program" -- I did find a post...

  19. Teas Test

    studentinnursing replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks to everyone for all the info; this site is so cool. I just finally asked my school today, applying for ADN in Spring, what we have for entrance/exit, and the advisor told me ATI, which I'm...

  20. St. Petersburg College Fl

    studentinnursing replied to NRSNFL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That makes perfect sense! Thank you for the

  21. St. Petersburg College Fl

    studentinnursing replied to NRSNFL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know this is an old post, but I'm hoping you can answer a couple questions? I just found out about "end of program" test--I called to see which entrance/exit exams they did, i.e., HESI or whatever....

  22. St. Petersburg College Fl

    studentinnursing replied to NRSNFL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks! TEAS doesn't sound so bad. When do they have you take it? When you do your ADN application? Or right before starting? I use ratemyprofessor A LOT, and it works pretty, but nothing like...

  23. Can't get a job as new RN

    studentinnursing replied to black_butterfly's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am confused; how does one get a BSN degree with no healthcare experience (it was quoted in another post as "no healthcare experience" only management or something to that effect). You have to work...

  24. St. Petersburg College Fl

    studentinnursing replied to NRSNFL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since this is an SPC thread, I might as well ask, and feel silly that I haven't asked the school yet--guess it doesn't matter cause SPC is my only option to not move family--anyway, I might as well...

  25. St. Petersburg College Fl

    studentinnursing replied to NRSNFL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, lemme get this straight?! You said micro is easier than A&P, really? I'm also "finishing" prereq's in Fall, except micro in Spring and was told I could apply while taking that, so excited...
