  1. Laid off after 38 years

    FLmomof5 replied to Ckwil1948's topic in General Nursing

    FLmomof5 replied to farmgirl40's topic in General Students

  6. How do you handle phone calls from family/others?

    FLmomof5 replied to Lola77's topic in General Nursing

    In the hospitals where I have done clinicals, we can't even acknowledge that the patient is THERE if they do not have the patient code! This past w/e I was called by my ex's sister. He was in ICU,...

    FLmomof5 replied to TXPediNurse's topic in General Nursing

    FLmomof5 replied to wifeandmommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started when I was 45. I already had a Bach in EE so I didn't have to worry about some of the pre-reqs. I took 2 pre-reqs per term (3 terms/yr) and it took a 1.33 yrs to do the pre-reqs. I was...

    FLmomof5 replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

  16. A new FOR profit ASN program in Jacksonville

    FLmomof5 replied to KTeacher2Nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

    But the Obama Administration is going to take a bite out of those schools. They will have to prove a certain graduation rate or they don't get to use federal student loans to pay for the tuition! I...

  17. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    FLmomof5 replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    Sounds like you are black and bitter. The claim that blacks are paid less is not unique to Florida. The claim that blacks are ill-treated is also not unique to Florida. I live in Jax. We are often...

  18. Do you donate blood?

    FLmomof5 replied to pna2388's topic in General Students

    FLmomof5 replied to reeta116's topic in Florida Nursing

    FLmomof5 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Florida Nursing

    I've been in FL since 2003. Even though I lived through one of the worst hurricane seasons, it was never bad where I lived. (W side of Jax) Unlike tornadoes, you get plenty of warning when a...

  24. Low high school GPA and Nursing school

    FLmomof5 replied to Thanksgiving's topic in General Students

    Your post is a little confusing. You start off by saying that you are a junior in college, but I think you meant junior in HS. When they talk about NS needing a 3.0+, it has nothing to do with your...
