  1. Simmons FNP Sept 2017

    I found out today that I got in. I'm doing the RN to MSN FNP starting in September 2017!
  2. Simmons FNP Sept 2017

    It sounds like you applied to the RN to MSN bridge program? I did also, I am waiting to hear. I am nervous because I owe money to another school and they won't release my transcripts until I pay the balance in full. So, I am now trying to figure out ...
  3. Need to vent!

    I'm sorry if this annoys people, but I have to vent because I'm so frustrated. And it's a long post...There is a nurse who is new to my telemetry unit(but not a new nurse). She has been there since February and is getting more and more abrasive. She ...
  4. Cannabis, the cure all?

    I am absolutely against smoking pot to cure everything, but I have been researching CBD oil and if all the claims are true then the whole debate about legalization and blah blah blah could be put to rest.
  5. MSN-Leadership/Management April 1st start?

    I am tentatively starting RN to MSN leadership on 5/1. If I can't then I will shoot for 6/1.
  6. Capella University

    Prior to yesterday, I was leaning toward Chamberlain but I talked to Capella and I was impressed. The rep seemed very low pressure and easy going and even waived the application fee, which I did not ask for. I love that many credits will transfer tha...
  7. Capella vs Chamberlain for RN-BSN online?

    I am glad I read this. I wish there was more here. I have been leaning toward Chamberlain and then talked to Capella today. I was impressed with the rep on the phone and a lot of what she said. I loved the fact that the higher levels of math wouldn't...
  8. Nurse pay in Jacksonville?

    Two years later, any updates on Jacksonville pay? Specifically experienced RNs at Baptist?
  9. Need to vent!

    Thanks for your thoughts. I did talk toy NM this morning and she was totally supportive of me and the patient. I feel so much better!
  10. Why do mean/crabby people become nurses??

    This sounds so much like a co-worker of mine that I gave report to this morning (3 hours ago) my head still hurts!!
  11. Help! Possibly relocating to DFW area

    My husband is most likely being relocated to DFW area. We have never been to Texas. We have no idea what area is best for a family. I currently work for HCA. How are the HCA facilities in the area? Which is the best to work for? Should I consider ano...
  12. Help! Possibly relocating to DFW area

    Thanks Tammy. I am going to try and transfer, for sure. But I will probably keep my options open just in case. I can't wait to have an answer about my husband's job so we can get on with our lives. I applied to the ED and CCU before all this happened...

    I have looked at their site and was impressed with what I saw. Thanks! Do you work there?
  15. Help! Possibly relocating to DFW area

    Thank you so much. Texas seems like a very friendly place I'm going to concentrate on not looking at jobs, homes, and worrying about the difference in cost of living until I know for sure. I have spent hours looking for homes and jobs and it may not...
  16. Help! Possibly relocating to DFW area

    Thanks for that info. I am glad to hear you are happy with HCA. I love my HCA facility. We have great management. The other HCA facilities in my area don't have employees who are as happy as mine. And the 401K is so good, I don't want to give that up...
  17. Help! Possibly relocating to DFW area

    Thanks! I'm am sort of looking forward to the move. A fresh start can be good! But all my family is here and I am a family girl. It will be tough. I live in Florida so I don't think the heat will bother me too much. I'm more concerned about the cold ...
  18. Help! Possibly relocating to DFW area

    Thanks, I have googled it a few times now. The problem is I can't quickly separate the HCA facilities from the non-HCA facilities, except for the university facilities. So, I guess I will look at the universities for opportunities apart from HCA. I a...
  19. Help! Possibly relocating to DFW area

    Thank you so much for that info! All of it! What are some other employers in the area?
  20. LPN starting first day in correctional nursing

    I know this is a late post. I just want to say that I love working in corrections! I worked my way through nursing school as an MA at a large county jail in Florida. I absolutely loved it. I had autonomy, flexible hours, better than average pay for M...
  21. Concorde vs. Keiser vs. Sanford Brown (Jacksonville)

    Worksource pays for SBI but only the amount that they pay toward fscj or sjrcc, so it doesn't cover the whole cost. Now that I have been working on the floor for a month I am happy to say that I dont feel slighted in my education.

    It may be picking up for nurses. Thanks!!!!
  23. Anyone work at Orange Park Medical Center?

    DNo experience, ASN! There is definitely hope! Don't give up! I do have a job in corrections, where I already worked before I got my license. When I got my license the promoted me, but that is in a clinic and not quite the same. I don't know if that ...
