Has anyone applied to the USF (University of South Florida) Fall 2015 NP track? I applied for Adult-Gero and haven't heard back yet. My SOAR account says "committee." Just trying to connect with some other USF hopefuls out there! On a side note, has ...

Hi Mel! Congrats! I will be taking Patho online. Have you received any information yet on required texts, syllabus, etc?

Congrats! Have you all completed all of the paperwork for admission? Background check, health docs, residency dec., quizzes, etc? I haven't yet ordered the background check, but I was able to register for classes without a hold. Anyone know when this...

Yes, via soar. Hope you hear back soon, keep your head up!

I found out I was accepted! I think now seats will open up if anyone who is accepted declines. I think the cutoff date for everyone who is already accepted is July 31, so some people may still hear in the first week or Aug! Good luck everyone!

coopsy, I still haven't heard anything either. I had my interview 2 weeks ago now. I did receive notification in SOAR that I should hear "no later than the end of May," but they also said 4-6 weeks back in March, and never followed through. This is s...

Thanks for the info JennaeDRN! I wonder if there are also some classes offered online. Is your friend in the FNP track? To all who applied to the FNP track, I hear it is VERY competitive so that might be why it is taking longer to hear back. I'm not ...

VickyCS 2001 was your application missing any of the items? I don't think it should still say "applied" in SOAR. It should have gone to the committee by now. I would call to double check that all of your documents were received.

Thanks VickyCS 2001. I just found out I got an interview! Regardless, it will be after the deadline of the other program I was accepted into, but I am still going to go for it with USF since it is my top choice. Has anyone else gotten an interview or...

Still no word here either. This is frustrating because this program is my top choice, however I was accepted into another program and need to let them know of my final decision by 5/1! I have communicated via the discussion on SOAR a few weeks back, ...

No one?? I know there has to be someone out there!

Hi lenaanthony! I am in the same boat as you, but for the graduate program! I hear it is pretty competitve so I agree with Cruz.Cookie - don't put all your eggs in one basket! I also applied (and was accepted) to the University of Tampa's program, so...

Hi lumax, I am applying for the adult-gero primary care concentration for Fall 2015. What was your GPA? How competitive is the program?

So you are looking to get back into hospital nursing? Why is case management boring?

Hello all, I am starting at Morgan Stanley Childrens hospital next month. I heard it's not in a very safe area, and I wanted to live in manhattan. Is this a do-able commute? If so, what neighborhood is the best to live in order to catch the A train? ...

I work in a PICU at a level 1 trauma center. I have been there for about 9 months now, and prior to that I was on med/surg for a year and some months. I feel like an idiot most days in the PICU. I am nervous EVERY time I do any kind of procedures (ds...

Hi control, I am also interested in eventually leaving bedside nursing and go to a non-clinical area. what is it that you do? I tried to PM you, but I can't. let me know! thanks =)

I am looking for a pediatrics position and cannot seem to find one. I am an RN with a BSN, graduated May 2008. I have a little over 1 year of experience on a pediatrics and adult med/surg floor. I recently quit the job because it was med/surg more th...

Thank you for your input and your advice! It is very helpful.

Thank you all for your advice/words of encouragement. I left the position for a few reasons aside from the fact that I didn't like the job. 1) i got a volunteer opportunity in India (which i thought would help my job search upon my return), and 2) I ...

That is a great idea. Do you think I can talk to HR and suggest they not pay me or even pay me a nurse aide salary for the time I am being oriented/trained to the unit? At this point, I would just like to start getting some pediatrics experience and ...

Does Talent Plus ask behavioral questions about previous nursing experience? Or is it more along the lines of "Are you a clean person?" I have an interview coming up, but I have no idea how to prepare for it! Please help!

Thanks Sponkie! I am checking out the site right now =)

Thanks! I will try them out :wink2:

hey CT PIXIE, I am 5 ft and 95 lbs and have the same issue with scrubs. I see that you are from Connecticut. Any chance you live around the Danbury area? If so, which is the store that you buy the Izzy brand and get them hemmed for free? Please let ...
