  1. Is Sanford Brown really a bad school?

    RNin10 replied to tyandgil's topic in General Students

    This is a long post, but I wanted to give you the background info! I go to Sanford Brown in Jacksonville, FL. I graduated from there last year for medical assisting. I decided while in that program,...

    RNin10 replied to dannibee's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! Wish I

  3. horrendously long post... read if you dare (and if you have time?)

    RNin10 replied to jaysmom's topic in General Students

    Many posts before mine have given you advice. I agree with the ones who say you should leave this guy. I was once engaged to a man who was emotionally abusive toward me. We lived together, I worked 3...

  4. Concorde in Jacksonville?

    RNin10 replied to KTeacher2Nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

    Congratulations on your choice. I am like you, if I prayed about something and there is a roadblock then I know that I need to go in the other direction. Good luck with everything. Are you in the day...

  5. Which US schools have less competition for entry?

    RNin10 replied to dreamon's topic in General Students

    It is pretty competitive, however when you do your prereqs if you get all A's or close to it you will probably be accepted to SJRCC or FCCJ in one or two semesters. I don't know a whole lot about...

  6. Re: Florida's 1st prize in the "Salary Hall of Shame"

    RNin10 replied to CLLRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    DeeDee, From what I understand Missouri nurses make less than Florida nurses. Don't throw in the towel just

  7. Which US schools have less competition for entry?

    RNin10 replied to dreamon's topic in General Students

    Check out Jacksonville University, in Jacksonville, FL. (JU.edu or jacksonvilleu.com) They have a BSN program with an excellent reputation and the last I checked the cost is 65,000.(I think that was...

  8. Concorde in Jacksonville?

    RNin10 replied to KTeacher2Nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

    If you don't have your prereqs, why don't you start taking them at FCCJ or SJRCC and apply to one of those programs, it is so much cheaper. And you could be done with your prereqs in 3-4 (MAX)...

  9. So Many Students! Will Shortage Now End?

    RNin10 replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Students

    This thread has scared the white nursing school pants off of me! I am a new nursing student. I did get laid off 2 years ago. I did NOT chose nursing because it would be job security, although that did...

  10. Advice please, confused

    Sanford Brown,

  11. Concorde in Jacksonville?

    RNin10 replied to KTeacher2Nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

    It does not make sense to do the whole MA program again. If they would give you the credits, I agree it is not so bad. First, I would ask to discuss this with the president of Sanford Brown, I think...

  12. Concorde in Jacksonville?

    RNin10 replied to KTeacher2Nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

    Huh, I didn't know that Keiser had that "procedure" also. It is interesting, all a money making scheme, I guess. One thing I can say it I have read on here that people were on waiting lists for Keiser...

  13. Advice please, confused

    RNin10 replied to FutureRN1976's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, those loans do exist. I think they are called living expense student loans. I have not applied for one (but I am thinking about it), but I have heard you have to have really good credit or a...

  14. Advice please, confused

    RNin10 replied to FutureRN1976's topic in Florida Nursing

    :yeah:Congrats on your choice and your acceptance to Barry!!! I know how exciting it is to make that decision and put the plan into motion. You are lucky you have the option of moving in with your...

  15. Advice please, confused

    RNin10 replied to FutureRN1976's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am not familiar with the schools you are speaking of, but I can tell you how I made my choice in a similar situation. I had the opportunity to start school 6 months sooner with less classes at a...

  16. Concorde in Jacksonville?

    RNin10 replied to KTeacher2Nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

    This may be a way to keep you interested in their program versus others. (or to give you extra points on admittance. They do give points for experience.) I say that because the director of the nursing...

  17. Concorde in Jacksonville?

    RNin10 replied to KTeacher2Nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

    The whole program is evenings, although toward the end some clinicals may end up being done during the day, but the way they have it now even the clinicals are done at

  18. Concorde in Jacksonville?

    RNin10 replied to KTeacher2Nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, the evening program may be great for some, but I am happy I got in to the January program for days! They start a day program each January. I am so exited with this school right now, I am on top...

  19. Concorde in Jacksonville?

    RNin10 replied to KTeacher2Nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

    I just want to tell everyone that Sanford Brown's RN program is fantastic. The director is very experienced, and professional. She was the director for a community college in Kentucky and moved here...

  20. Moving to Gainesville

    RNin10 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Florida Nursing

    AGH is closing, I can't remember when,though. I worked at UF Jax and they made the announcement this past

  21. What mantra is getting you through nursing school?

    RNin10 replied to MySimplePlan's topic in General Students

    I don't really have a mantra. And I guess I am a wierdo, because I don't need one. Quitting is NOT an option, I have given up to much to be where I am at and my family needs the income I will make...

  22. What mantra is getting you through nursing school?

    RNin10 replied to MySimplePlan's topic in General Students

    :chuckleThat is so funny! I thought I had the only class saying that...and we ALL say

  23. Students not working while going to school....

    RNin10 replied to CLJ1988's topic in General Students

    I am working 32-40 hours per week while going to school full time. I work on the weekends, 16 hours Saturday and 16 on Sunday. Sometimes I pick up an 8 hour shift during the week. It is hard because...

  24. How old were you when you began nursing school?

    RNin10 replied to jpearl119's topic in General Students

    I had prior classes straight out of high school but never finished anything. Then I went for a 1 year diploma for medical assisting and realized a few months into that I wanted to be a nurse. I...

  25. Took the NCLEX yesterday

    RNin10 replied to NurseMarla's topic in General Nursing

    Hey! I am still in school, so I can't really give you any input on jobs. I just wanted to say that I have been told if the machine shuts of at 75, you probably passed. You may have heard this also,...
