Try UCF UCF COLLEGE OF NURSING : Academics They are very flexible and will even allow you to start taking courses prior to program admission. They have masters, post masters, and DNP programs.

The NP MSN is going to come back. The University of Central Florida, 2nd largest school in the nation, just returned the FNP and ANP MSN programs to their offerings. They still offer a DNP, but it is a different program. The MSN is no longer an "o...

Congrats! I'm waiting to hear from UCF right now. It is so nerve racking...

I like it. Not at all unprofessional.

@TraumaRUs, I was wondering what areas/jobs you have seen that desire the MSN/MBA combo. I have just applied to a fall entry FNP program. This is a second career for me; I have my MBA from the past one. I'm planning to work clinically, but would n...

I'm sorry, but typos and grammar shortcuts will always bother me. I guess I'm just an old fudd too! :)

Ummmm, that insurance quote is a bit high for the East Central Coast area. I live less than 2 miles from the beach and my rate is $1000 per year for a house worth about $140,000. My house is a 4 bed/2 bath/2 car garage, 1600 SF living area, concret...

Find someone in the type of position you would like to mentor you. If an opportunity comes up, that mentor can be you foot in the door. Good luck!

If you do not do this, what else will you be doing four years from now? I bet you'd be looking around and hating yourself for not going back to school. Four years is not a long time. Go for it!

One of our dogs does the same thing when my husband coughs. She totally freaks and comes over to me like she is scared/worried. She ignores everyone else when they cough. The other dog has no reaction. Both dogs adore my husband and neither one has a...

No brainer - go for the hospital job. (Unless you have other/better healthcare experience on your resume)

NurseU, Nights are on the main campus in Daytona. My 1st semester schedule will be 2pm to 8:30pm MTW. I don't know what the rest of the semesters will be. GracieGrace, The teas test is not too bad - get a study guide and brush up on your weak areas...

I think I'll do that. I ended up on nights - anyone else?

That is so true! It totally cracks me up. I have not even started school yet - just accepted to the Jan 2010 program - and people are asking me what I think of this, that, and everything else medical!

It's in the Theatre Center; Building 220 at 9am.

Hospitals in my area are listing postions for both ADNs and LPNs so I doubt it is true.

The Jumpstart RSVP # is 506-3250. I don't know the Flager free cpr class info, but the next cheapest is Ormond. It is Dec 5th for $25 (they loan you the book for free). To sign up, go to Ormond City Hall (at the foot of the Granada brige mainland...

thanks!

fuuchan - glad to hear that. I've read so many threads lately about evil instructors that I was beginning to worry. If I could pick your brain a bit more.... Where did/do you do clinicals?

fuuchan - thanks for giving us some much needed info! Just wondering, how has your experience been at DSC?

I think we find out most of what we need to know on Dec. 4th. Then it is scramble time to get it all together. Don't feel bad - know one else knows anything either! I am going to the jump start, but I have not RSVP'd yet. Wonder how many were accep...

Thanks for the tip on EmployMD - I'll go there tomorrow. Dec 18th will be here before I know it. I'd hate to lose my spot for the lack of a shot!

:D:D

FYI - Ormond FD is offering the CPR class on Dec 5th for $25. You do not have to buy the book.

courtney6247, That class on the 10th sounds good (free!) - too bad I have classes on that day (chem & human dev.) I'm going to call the Ormond FD - I heard a while ago that the instructor there was really good. I requested Daytona Days. I fou...
