Just got my acceptance email to SCF today! Anyone else attending in fall 2013? Are there any recent SCF nursing students that have any advice for first-years or good/bad experiences to share? Thanks and good luck to everyone in the application proces...

Hello Bradenton/Sarasota residents, I am planning to apply to SCTI's program this October. I just attended their LPN info session, and I have to say I was really impressed with how helpful and professional their staff was. I was expecting much worse....

Just wondering if anyone is in the nursing program at USF-Tampa. If so, what has your experience been so far? Also, What kind of hospital/medical work did you do before you applied? I was considering volunteering at University Community Hospital, des...

I'm in FL and they don't allow you to restart. I finished my course and haven't tested yet, but when I've practiced I have had trouble finding it in some people. I also have a pretty cheap stethoscope so that doesn't help. If I can hear it faintly, I...

Don't worry about what your bf says. I just finished my CNA course today and before I started I called my local hospitals/facilities and found out which ones hire newbies. My CNA instructor also gave us a list of facilities that do. Doing some resear...

Hi everyone, My school offers A & P 1 in person and online. The in-person classes are full and I was just wondering, for anyone who has already taken it, if you would recommend taking it online? I know sometimes online classes can be even harder ...

Man, that's lame. Yeah, you're probably right. I'd rather go out of state, but FL is just so damn cheap and they repay your loans. Good luck to you, too!

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your input!

Good points. On that note, can anyone who's taken A & P online share how the labs were done?

Thanks for your feedback. I'm aware of tuition reimbursement and am open to that also. However, it's not my first time in college (I have a non-medical degree) and the GI Bill is not something I'm willing to consider. I have no problem staying with a...

Hi everyone, I've got 7 pre-req classes to go before I apply to nursing school and I'm researching good schools in Florida or schools in other states that have a nursing student loan forgiveness program like FL does. With the nursing shortage, there ...

Got your message. Thanks so much for passing that info along to me! I really appreciate it. You'll be starting earlier than me. I still need to do pre-reqs, so I probably won't apply until summer 2010. I wish I switched to nursing earlier! Keep me po...

Hey, I'm looking into that medical prep of pinellas course. Can someone who's taken it tell me how it went? Did you feel prepared for the CNA exam? Thanks!

Hi everyone, Does anyone know how many people get accepted at a time to the Accelerated BSN? I'm at USF in Tampa now and they only take 24! It's ridiculous. Just trying to do some research on other FL schools. Thanks?

Hi everyone, I'm a journalism major making the jump to nursing and I see that a lot of entry-level jobs require knowledge of medical terminology. However, that seems kind of vague to me and I was wondering if anyone in the field could tell me just wh...

Thanks, everyone!

I was referring to entry-level jobs like clerical work a medical office. I'm not in nursing school yet.

Can someone tell me exactly what the duties of a phlebotomist are?

Congrats on your letter! I'm down at USF in Tampa, where they only accept 24 applicants. It's ridiculous! I'm still taking pre-reqs, but I'll consider applying for the accelerated program at UCF now. It's also encouraging to see other people who had ...

I'm a student at USF. I'm still taking pre-reqs for nursing, but having been there for 4 years, I think you will like it.
