Have you been able to talk to a recruiter? I have attempted many times over the past year to get in touch with a reserve healthcare recruiter for the Navy and haven't been able to get in touch with any. I've called, emailed, left messages, went through local recruiters to try and get in touch with a healthcare recruiter and nada! If anyone knows how to get through to one, I would love to hear!

I am trying to understand the application of the OHDC. I understand what causes a shift to the right or to the left. I am just kind of stuck on what we apply it to??? In what situation would this curve be used in the real world??? Understanding it's use will help me understand it better.

ahahn--thanks for the well wishes! Do you have any tips you could share? Things you wish you knew before you started?? Good luck to you also! You are just a couple of short semesters away from being done! BTW... reading all these posts has me kind of worried about the local job market...since you are out in the hospitals, how is the local job market for new grads?

I am doing a project for a healthcare IT class. I have never worked at a hospital so I just have a quick simple question. When nurses go to a computer to chart or get results or anything computer related, do you have to manually log in or can you swipe a card that will log you in with maybe a pin number?? I am trying to come up with a plan to make accessing the computer quicker and simpler.

Not yet. I applied for both UCF Cocoa and again for Palm Bay BCC this year. I just found out last week that I made it into UCF Cocoa with a start of January 2011, which I am completely thrilled about!

I applied last year (didn't make it) but I heard about mid October. Good luck to you!

You should have no problem getting in once chemistry is complete. Good luck to you... I was kind of in the same place last year, just missing chem and stats and once I finished those and was waiting to apply I started working on a minor. I thought that might give me a leg up. I wish you the best!

Wow! I got in!! I think I am still in shock. the last 18 hours have been pretty rough, but I got in!! Good luck to everyone and I'll see the Cocoa class in January!!

Well I finally got an email... Only it was a denial! I was like what?! I thought for sure I would get in. So I called to find out the cut off GPA because everything else is perfect. Pre-reqs are all complete with a 4.0! I had to email an advisor who said it "might" be a mistake he would look into it tomorrow. I don't know what I am missing??? I am hoping it was a screw up, but if it wasn't this was a very very tough term to get in GPA wise. Congrats to those who did get in!!! Keep on plugging to those who didn't...

In a weak moment, I called the Orlando College of Nursing. The lady on the phone sounded slightly annoyed that I was asking, and she said "I don't have a definite answer, last I knew they were trying to get them out next week with the deadline." I wish I didn't call!! I hope they realize they have lots of folks waiting on pins and needles for an answer. COME ON ALREADY!!!!

Not only do I have my knights mail open all day at work, I am checking this board constantly in case a letter comes to someone on here! If I do get a message in my inbox, I have a split second panic attack before it registers that the message is not from the College of Nursing. I really just want to know, one way or the other. Years worth of work and the answer seems minutes away...Hurry up already!!

I just called as well and got the same information. So that is a good sign. If you get the same info from 2 different places, chances are it might be right! She said "end of next week" and it will be by email. This is going to be a really long week! Good Luck to everyone and please post if/when you hear anything!

Wow, email!? I wouldn't have guessed they would notify you by email. This is so nerve wracking!!!

Another week passes and still no letter....The wait is getting worse and worse!

Thanks for the quick reply!!! That is good to hear. I am really hoping that is how it will work for me. I wasn't specific enough in my original post, but I am looking at mainly the AF. Although, before I get going I will explore all of the opportunities in all the branches.
