  1. For those of you in Central Florida..

    cc33702 replied to CandAmommy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Check with Red Cross and your local fire departments, hospitals, etc. Many offer them for very low fees. Make sure you specify BLS for healthcare providers, not just standard CPR -- the BLS course...

  2. Frustration

    cc33702 replied to runragged's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't know that I'd quit because I felt the tests were too easy. You can learn the information presented and retain it, even if they don't test you on the complicated stuff. There's nothing really...

  3. Financial Aid Reimbursements

    cc33702 replied to Kevin RN08's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Have you met with the Financial Aid Department (your school may call it something different) yet on this? They'd be the ones in the best position to help you. Unfortunately, department directors...

  4. Financial Aid Reimbursements

    cc33702 replied to Kevin RN08's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    At my school, they reimburse no sooner than 4 weeks after the class start date -- reason being that a really significant number of students would sign up for classes, apply for financial aid, get...

  5. SPC in Tampa RN Requirements?

    cc33702 replied to NewGoalRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    That's awesome Soy! It sound like we're on a pretty similar path. Are you going to be working through school too? I'm excited about getting started too -- just ordered the vest today. Still need...

  6. SPC in Tampa RN Requirements?

    cc33702 replied to NewGoalRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I got my acceptance letter for PTEC's St. Pete's October LPN class -- I start on the 23rd. :) Re: Hospitals in Tampa area that hire LPN's -- I know the Baycare group uses them, but it's rare that...

  7. SPC in Tampa RN Requirements?

    cc33702 replied to NewGoalRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm waiting to find out if I've gotten accepted into PTEC's October class (they mailed letters out this past Friday, so hopefully I'll know tomorrow or Tuesday). Their program takes 12-15 months (not...

  8. SPC in Tampa RN Requirements?

    cc33702 replied to NewGoalRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yeah, it's a little frustrating that SPC requires you to have pre-reqs completed essentially two semesters prior to the start of the NS classes, but there are other schools that offer ASN or BSN...

  9. SPC in Tampa RN Requirements?

    cc33702 replied to NewGoalRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    You're going to need to complete (not just be in the process of taking) the courses actually marked as pre-requisites prior to applying -- I know that includes A&P 1&2 but don't remember what...

  10. cna skills test in Florida

    cc33702 replied to rbaez4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The testers are employed by Prometric. They have test sites all over FL, usually near the test prep centers or at local vocational schools and community colleges. They do not share information with...

    cc33702 replied to jb2u's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  12. cna skills test in Florida

    cc33702 replied to rbaez4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you're not taking a prep course, I strongly suggest going to the Prometric website and looking up the information for Florida certification. They have a practice written test on their website, and...

  13. About to take the TEAS Exam????????

    cc33702 replied to melgrek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Around 200 -- three of the four tests were around 50 questions, and science was 30. But they have several versions of the exam, so there may be slightly more or slightly

  14. About to take the TEAS Exam????????

    cc33702 replied to melgrek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just took my TEAS test tonight, and am soooo glad it's done! The school that I'm going to for my LPN (provided they accept me into the program) uses it as one of the factors that they examine...

  15. LPN Confusion - Tampa Bay Area

    cc33702 posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi all, I'm a little confused about something...I've seen a few times now people saying that hospitals aren't hiring LPN's and / or CNA's in the area. However, I took a glance at several of the local...

  16. New Pre-Nursing Student

    cc33702 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well sort of...I have a BA in English, but missing a few pre-reqs (A&P and the like) so here I am, newly enrolled in the local community college and excited! I look forward to "meeting" all of...

  17. wondering on what I should accept for my financial aid/loans?

    cc33702 replied to VM85's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Can you be denied Stafford loans? I haven't applied yet because I'm only going part time for now for pre-reqs, but I don't think I'll be able to afford nursing school if I can't get something, and I...

  18. CNA Starting Wages - Hospitals in Tampa Bay

    cc33702 posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Can anyone give me an idea of starting wages and shift differentials for hospitals in the St Pete / Tampa / Clearwater areas? I'm really interested in the Morton Plant group because they have a...

  19. CNA starting wages - Tampa Bay FL area hospitals

    cc33702 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm posting this both in the CNA board and the Florida board in hopes that someone can help. Can anyone give me an idea of starting wages and shift differentials for hospitals in the St Pete / Tampa...

  20. SPC - No O-Chem?

    cc33702 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm looking at the pre-reqs/co-reqs for the Nursing programs at St. Pete College (Florida), and it doesn't look like they have Organic Chemistry listed. Is that right? I thought everyone had to have...

  21. SPC - No O-Chem?

    cc33702 replied to cc33702's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cool, thanks for the replies. I have friends in other states (I'm a transplant to FL) and they've been required to take it, so I thought it was odd. Maybe it's a Florida thing.

  22. Florida GN Pay

    cc33702 replied to kellymoody's topic in Florida Nursing

    Do they let you work full time if you want to? My plan is to be ready to get into the nursing program by this time next year (I have a total of five prereqs to fulfill) and that sounds like a great...

  23. Florida GN Pay

    cc33702 replied to kellymoody's topic in Florida Nursing

    What kind of pay to you get in the earn as you learn program? Is it minimum, or actually enough to live on while you're in school? I'd be interested in hearing more about it.

  24. Galen School of Nursing

    cc33702 replied to MissJLG's topic in Florida Nursing

    Plan on paying around 15-18k. They're not cheap. And if you plan on going past ASN degree (for example, if you want your BSN someday), some schools don't accept their classes for credit, so you may...
