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, but I thought maybe that will make your weekend a li...

Using my knowledge of socialized anything, I would guess that nurses pay would probably not be affected a whole lot. Doctors would be taking the loss. The whole theory of socialization is that everyone is on a more equal level. Those who make lots...

Haha! We have probably run into each other at walmart! I am there pretty often. We will make it, and maybe we will be working together when the new St Vincents hospital opens up by us!! Good luck! We will have to stay in touch!

I don't live far from you, I live at the end of Branan field, by the new walmart. With your points, I have no doubt that you will have no problem getting in. Everything happens for a reason, and for me Sanford Brown worked out the best, I am in an...

My original plan was to apply for the nights/weekends at FCCJ. Well, actually that was my second plan (my original plan was SJRCC Orange Park, but I changed my mind after much negative feedback on their program and then accepting a Mon-Fri job). I ...

I did take most of my prereqs online at FCCJ/SJRCC. But, I started last week at Sanford Brown's new program. But it would be awesome to do the actual nursing stuff as hybrid! I quit my job so I could start now, I had applied to the nights/weekends...

Personally, I went from 12s to 8s and it still feels like you live at work! I want to go back to 12s! I agree with the other tips, especially the good shoes and arch supports! Try the Spencos. Goodluck!

Where are you beng laid off from? That sucks, I have been laid off twice. The last time (July 2007) I decided to go into the medical field and really take a pay cut! Its worth it! Sorry about your job!

I know how you feel! It will be here before you know it! Enjoy!

I am so excited, I start nursing school tomorrow! I was moved up from a July start and it has all happened so fast! I feel like I am opening another chapter in the book of my life! I know that the road ahead will be tough, but it will be worth it.

Yes, enjoy your time now, but enjoy school too!

"Of course I wish you luck as this sounds like something you really want to do, but be very sure that you will be able to catch up on last week's work. Also part of nursing school is sharing the experiences with fellow nursing students and building f...

I was all set to start nursing school in July and they called today and said they had a spot in the January class (started last week) but it is days and I work days, so tomorrow I have to ask my boss if she will allow me to work a flexible schedule. ...

"a set of NARS blushes ($200), the best blush on the planet." I just googled Nars blushes, I had never heard of them before. After seeing the names of them, I COMPLETELY understand why you would want them!:chuckle

:yeah:CONGRATULATIONS! That is so awesome! I think the hybrid learning will be great! I wish they had that here! (Jacksonville, FL):yeah:

In Jacksonville, FL, I started at St. Vincent's in April '08 at 9.76/hour And that was starting with no experience in the medical field!

In Jacksonville, FL, I started at St. Vincent's in April '08 at 9.76/hour. They give a 2.00/hr shift diff for weekends and I can't remember what the night rate was. I have been told that nursing homes start out a little higher. I left there to use...

I know that Shands is rumored to be the highest paying hospital, although I think Mayo comes in a close second. I have heard it is very hard to work at Shands. I work at a UF clinic on Shands campus and most of the nurses I meet from the hospital d...

I am a medical assistant, I graduated in May. I don't recommend working in a hospital unless you are planning to start nursing school soon. I did my externship at the duval county jail because I needed flexible hours. It was really great, I learne...

Mayo is probably the best overall, but there are other great hospitals that excel in certain areas. St. Vincent's (jacksonville) has a great cardiac facility.

Sorry...this is a long post... OKAY! For those of you in Northeast Florida, you & may be interested to know that Sanford Brown has started a nursing program.:) The first class just started, the next class starts in July and is a night class. Befo...

I am sorry you are having a hard time. I can understand your frustration! I will tell you, I work with endocrinologists, and obviously the main thing they treat is thyroid disease. If you don't have other symptoms I would look into another cause f...

OKAY! For those of you in Northeast Florida, you & may be interested to know that Sanford Brown has started a nursing program.:) The first class just started, the next class starts in July and is a night class. Before you trash the school, I w...

FLPecan23, where in florida are you???

Hi all! I am in the Jacksonville, FL area. I have been working on my prereqs for the last year and I have almost all of them done for one community college. I decided to change to the other community college but they have a couple extra prereqs, a...
