    FLmomof5 replied to SaraFL's topic in Florida Nursing

    The northside clinic that is in your packet is the cheapest and easiest place to get your physical. You don't have to make an appt. It is a walkin clinic. When I went there were 4 other NS waiting!...

  4. Why the HURRY to Get into Nursing?

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

    IMHO and as my mother would say.... it appears to be a case of "instant gratification syndrome". I decided, after 18 yrs of repeated layoffs, that I needed a plan B. I began the pre-reqs for the RN...

  6. Stanford Brown Vs. Concorde Career College

    FLmomof5 replied to m2736185's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know where you got your information from, but FSCJ (aka FCCJ) has EVE/WE every year...one class starts in summer, the other in fall. No EVE/WE for a spring start. But saying it is offered...

  7. Evolve HESI/tests/case studies

    FLmomof5 replied to SAHMStudent's topic in General Students

    We don't pay extra because our school uses their books. In the meantime, I have found it very helpful in preparing for each HESI exam (we take at least 1 per term) and since we have to pass the HESI...

    FLmomof5 replied to nursegc's topic in General Students

    WELCOME!!! I am a third career changer! LOL! Currently, I am 48 (just turned it last week) and a 3rd term NS. My first degree was a B.E.E.E. (Elect Eng) out of Manhattan College. I spent 8.5 yrs in...

  10. Stanford Brown Vs. Concorde Career College

    FLmomof5 replied to m2736185's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll take that bet! BTW.... Ch. 2009-168, Laws of Florida stipulates two mechanisms by which a program shall be placed on probation. One is failure to submit the required annual report and the other...

  11. PSB entrance exam

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

    My advice.... relax! First off, I waited until I took A&P I & II and micro before taking the NAT. I did not study for the test and scored in the 98th %ile. As you can see, I am 48 and the...

  12. Florida residency requirements for community colleges

    FLmomof5 replied to rosebud123's topic in Florida Nursing

    The PSB NAT is not just a FL thing, but if you can't find it in CA, I guess you will have to take it here. I found it fairly simple (scored in the 98th

  13. FCCJ Summer 2010 hopefuls...

    FLmomof5 replied to SaraFL's topic in Florida Nursing

    Boy many students would call that a major underestimation of the math test! It is actually a dosage calc test. You will need to do conversions of units as part of determining the answer. You have to...

  18. Grading system of Nursing Ed.

    FLmomof5 replied to SuperDuperSuper's topic in General Students

    Ours is - 93 to 100 = A, 86 - 92 = B, 80 - 85 = C, less than 80 = F. There is NO rounding. If you get a 79.99, you fail. Clinicals are part of the class, not a separate section and like all other NSs...

    FLmomof5 replied to SaraFL's topic in Florida Nursing

    Why would it be insane? I didn't have any trouble. I got my physical and my titers (and HepB start) done on base. The only thing that I didn't get done on base is the Flu shot because the school...

    FLmomof5 replied to darci14's topic in General Students

    The answer is yes. Many of us do it. For some, it is easier than others. Some can't do both. It is all based on YOU and what you are able to accomplish.

    FLmomof5 replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Canada allegedly ranked higher on the dated graph (7 yrs old) previously posted. Hmmmm....by what criteria (not just the blip on the graph but actual reasoning) did they use? Never let "facts" get in...
