I'm looking for information about the RN program offered at South Florida Community College in Avon Park, FL. Any info I can get would really be appreciated! Specifically, I'm curious about anyone's personal thoughts on the program? How competitive is it for entry into the program? What type of degree do they offer? Their website shows that they offer both an a.s. and an a.a.s. Is this true? I have had a couple emails with a someone from the school, and was told they only offer the a.a.s. Is this true? If it is, anyone happen to know the transferability of their degree to an bsn program? Also, if anyone can offer any feedback about the area of Avon Park, Sebring, or Lake Placid, I'd really appreciate to receive it also (looking into relocating to the area). Thanks in advance!!

I'm jealous! I wish we would have cadavers! I think the most I'll get is a sheep's brain and eye.

Hi, y'all. My name is Kelli and... A. I will be taking 10 credits during the spring semester--in addition to A&P1, I will be taking CHM1020, and Nutrition. B. I'm looking forward to gaining a better understanding of how the human body actually works. C. I will be applying to start the RN program at my local CC in January 2011--application deadline is October 3rd. D. In addition to going to school, I am a SAHM to a 3 year-old, and a 19 month-old. Also, I will be taking the NLN PAX-RN in March.

That's the exact schedule I'll be taking in the spring. What campus/when are you taking your classes?

So, I'm trying decide between purchasing a LiveScribe pen and a digital voice recorder. Anyone have, or know someone who has had a LiveScribe pen? Is it worth the price-tag? For those who have not, but have had a digital voice recorder, what model would you recommend? Any input would be appreciated!

I'm married (3 years) with an almost 3 year-old and an 18 month old. I'm hoping to get accepted into a program for Spring 2011. I currently go to school full time and am a SAHM. I think the key is time-management. Yes, nursing school is going to keep you busy, but if your fiance supports you and you guys set time aside for the two of you, I think you'll be fine. Best of luck to you.

Hopefully I will be... I'm hoping to get accepted into the local CC's program starting Spring 2011. My schedule until then will be; Spring 2010 A&P 1 Chem Nutrition Summer 2010 A&P 2 Micro Fall 2010 Pharmacology Humanities elective Critical thinking for nurses (maybe) I am also excited! I can't wait to start. :)

I bet your presentation did make quite the impression. I hope to do the same. Your presentation sounds like it was great. Thanks for the input, everyone.

Hello, I was hoping I might receive suggestions/prop ideas, for a presentation I'm going to be doing. On the 19th I will be making a career power-point presentation about NICU nursing. I'd like to have props or something to pass around while I present, so that it's not just another pp presentation. We've been doing several each class period for the past couple weeks, and a lot of people are starting to dread that period of the class, because they've mostly been kinda of boring, lecture-type presentations. I want people to have an interest and learn something during my presentation, and to remember how great NICU nurses, and all other nurses are, in general. So far, I've thought of filling a fabric pouch with something to demonstrate various weights--to give an example of what a micro-preemie, preemie, or average birth-weight newborn might weigh. Any other suggestions? I appreciate any and all input I get. Thanks.:loveya:

I'm just curious...how many of those who applied received the scholarship? To those who did, congratulations! To those who didn't I'm sorry, hope things still worked out for you.

I'm also planning to attend FAU for their RN-BSN program, but I plan to complete most of their extra pre-requisites during the summers off from PBCC. Good luck with your studies.

I'm also going to go into the Generic RN program. I'm shooting for Spring 2011. I'll have all the pre/co-requisites done by the application deadline, except for maybe the humanities elective....but I'm going to try and knock that one out also. Have you taken any classes yet? For the requisites, I've gotten ENC1101 and SYG2000 completed. This semester I'm taking DEP2004, and PSY2012. In the spring, I plan to take A&P1,CHM, and Nutrition. In the summer, I'll take A&P2 and Micro. If I feel I can handle it, I'll take a humanities elective during the spring session. As for A&P teachers, I can say that through AllNurses and friends, I've been advised to take Professor Ramsammey (sp?) if possible and to steer clear of Columbo Constantino (sp?).

Not that I have taken any sciences yet, but, I was wondering what program you plan on going into? RN or LPN? I also go to PBCC.

Good idea. Thanks, for the response. And, good luck to you in clinicals! That must be very exciting. Also, thanks for the encouragement...I appreciate it. :redpinkhe
