Hi, I know this is an old post, but I'm a Barry Alumni and thought I'd chip in. Clinical sites were all over Miami-dade and broward county...Below is a list of hospitals we had contracts with and the rotations...these may change for you guys, but it...

Congrats!!

MDC has one of the best nursing schools in Miami. I cannot speak about their actual classes, but I do know that they have clinicals at Jackson Memorial Hospital, which is one of the best learning hospitals. Yes, it is difficult to get in due to being...

Good luck to you all! Be sure to take the day before your exam OFF! Absolutely NO STUDYING! Go shopping, watch a movie, exercise, etc.-- anything that will take your mind off the NCELX. Doing this really helped me feel relaxed and confident.

Although I don't post much, I thought I'd share my experience as this website and its members have been very helpful and comforting to me all throughout nursing school, and the NCLEX. Took my NCLEX-RN today.. Answered 75 questions, ran home did the P...

Thank you! @nurse671: Yeah, they are long, but worth the watch!

Hi, First off, congratulations on being accepted to a nursing program! Nursing school is not easy, you really need to apply yourself. But do not think negatively...give it your all and you will succeed! You do not need medical experience to start nur...

Congrats!!!!!

RSV CDC says RSV is droplet... Respiratory viruses (e.g., influenza, parainfluenza virus, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, human metapneumovirus) CDC also states it can be transmitted via indirect contact (thus contact precautions) CDC -Tr...

I'm thinking...if they have a catheter it's quicker to assess than putting up the bed...so check for kinks first. If option does not give catheter option like mines..and says have pt empty bladder, or straight cath pt to alleviate...etc ...elevate HO...

Sorry, I didn't post the question word for word..but it does deal with Autonomic dysreflexia..Here is the idea of the question There is patient who sustained a T5 spinal cord injury weeks ago. The nurse observes that the patient is diaphoretic, naus...

I just had a similar question on the qbanks, and the answer was the reverse...place pt in sitting position. Did the question specify that the patient had an indwelling cath? Or did it just say pt had a SCI and had x symptoms? Question from my qbank:...

Hi, I've heard that admissions has changed since I applied, and getting a bit tougher. Here is the link for the requirements: http://www.barry.edu/nursing/BSN/pre/default.htm I would suggest visiting the campus to see the advisor in the Nursing Bldg ...

hi puma123, i am in the basic bsn program..i'm not sure about if the rules are different for the accelerated students, but we were told that if we get any c's the first 2 semesters we would have to petition to be allowed to take med-surg in the summe...

I don't know anyone that chose section 2, but I'm sure you will meet many people at orientation that have! Plus, we might have the same teachers, so we can help each other out :) I went to FIU for all my pre-reqs. I have most of the books b/c a frien...

Nicole- Click on My account > private messages. I'll send you my email via a msg here..then reply with your email, so I can send you the study guide. If you don't work..you'll be fine with school! :) Jpeds- I don't want to put my friends name on ...

Yikes! Haha..I need time to let the information sink in. How was your first semester?

Oh, I had Feddon-Flannigan..but I can still send you my notes if you want..just message me your email. 8 Classes is a lot, but it's possible! I hope you don't work! haha. Why not take the biomed class in fall, then theology in spring? I don't think y...

I got section 3 (school everyday!)..I have a friend who just registered for section 1..she was supposed to start NEXT fall, but she got lucky, yay! And 3 other friends of mine got accepted to the Baptist scholars. I already took my Theology and Bio-E...

Hey Sweetcheeks89, I start in Fall 2010 too!! What section did you register for? Great to find more people on here that are starting the basic program as well. Cary

Hi LGarcia, Palm beach is a very long drive..you will probably spend more money on gas and have stress with the traffic. Why don't you try doing something through agencies whilst you wait for an answer from a nearer hospital? I also live in Hialeah, ...

Pris & Jerziana, I think that we finish the basic program @ Barry on May 2012...May 2011 is too soon..we have to take about 5 semesters of course loads (1 summer included). Same with the accelerated program..they begin Jan 2011 and finish May 201...

Hi Priscy89! I will also be starting the generic option this fall. I registered for section 3, which section are you in? I applied to the Baptist Scholarship, but received a letter on Saturday that I was not accepted. I have two other friends that ap...

Enyalinda, I believe everyone that's going to start the nursing program in Fall 2010 is required to take it. They used to distribute the exam during Nursing Orientation, but now they are making us take it before to save time in Orientation. I haven't...

You have to speak to the nursing advisor (the one you will register with for classes). I can't disclose her name here because the forum doesn't permit me. She will give you a copy of an application that you must submit to Baptist by April 15th. You n...
