    NewGoalRN replied to greenland's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CSantos, you are a unique and different personality. I would venture to say that you are more likely a type 'A' personality and very, very driven and goal oriented. You don't see obstacles, you see...

    NewGoalRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I used Exubera and Iloved it. The size didn't bother me and I have to say that as a chronic diabetic I preferred it to needles and I am sure most kids would have as well. It can be carried in a...

    NewGoalRN replied to greenland's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is possible if you don't work. If you do work, I doubt it

  10. THe unemployment bomb has dropped on my family....

    NewGoalRN replied to ImNotWitty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say do more research on the CNA. This sucks but it is wise to have a backup plan just in case your bf doesn't get a job right away. You would want to help with little things like your gas money,...

  11. Exubera - First Inhaled Insulin

    NewGoalRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    This has been discontinued. I know because I used it and found out that I can no longer script for it. Something about the manufacturer not making profit from less people than they anticipated using...

    NewGoalRN replied to Holyhell's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yep, I discovered this a few months ago as I have USF's Nursing page bookmarked as I have been mulling over the pros and cons re the ABSN. I checked their site one day and discovered to my surprise...

  15. 2 Options, LPN then RN, or wait longer and be an RN

    NewGoalRN replied to nursing8648's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most ASN programs are not waitlisted but based on your GPA standing. You may want to check the procedure for the school that you are interested in. In addition, the trend is for most community...

  16. Microbiology 2009

    NewGoalRN replied to Sapana's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't say that because she didn't pass Micro that she wouldn't do well in nursing school. Micro is a difficult subject and there are lots of NS and nurses who failed on their first atempt and...

  17. A&P II Spring 2009, anyone?

    NewGoalRN replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Both of my sisters have completed AP1, AP2 and Micro. They both told me that they thought AP2 was a bit easier. However, who knows, it could be that after taking AP1 which was newer, anything later...

  18. Advice: Current undergrad, low gpa, accel-BSN program?

    NewGoalRN replied to HoneyOats's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with everything that you said above. I, myself have an A, B and C plan and at different times of the month, their places tend to shift as to which one I prefer,

  19. Advice: Current undergrad, low gpa, accel-BSN program?

    NewGoalRN replied to HoneyOats's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It was not my intention to suggest that nursing schools aren't merit based. My suggestion to her was not to get too caught up with getting into an ABN program as you rightfully suggested, they are...

  20. Advice: Current undergrad, low gpa, accel-BSN program?

    NewGoalRN replied to HoneyOats's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is your major? If you haven't taken any science classes yet, you can still 'fix' or help your chances of getting in to an ABSN by starting to take them now. It sounds that you are both older and...

  21. A&P II Spring 2009, anyone?

    NewGoalRN replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished AP1 and got an A. I will be taking AP2, Micro 1 and Nutrition. I am hoping that I will be able to make it and not have to drop any classes. I work full time and just made...

  22. 2 Options, LPN then RN, or wait longer and be an RN

    NewGoalRN replied to nursing8648's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If working and making a decent wage is one of your considerations, I would go the LPN route and then bridge to BSN. I am almost in your position with an advanced degree. However, while you wait for...

  23. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    NewGoalRN replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    The driving in Tampa on 275 or 75 is nothing compared to the driving on I95, the Turnpike and 826 Expressway in South Florida. Tampa is mild compared to that and much slower. Road rage is horrible...

  24. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    NewGoalRN replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    I live around the Tampa Bay area and she is right. In a suburb of Tampa and nice community, you can purchase a 1200-1400 sq ft fairly new townhome for under $160 and they even have new ones for around...

  25. Anyone from Hillsborough Community College

    NewGoalRN replied to nicolegao's topic in Florida Nursing
