I tried to do a search and there doesnt seem to be anyone that has gone to the nursing program at Concorde in Jacksonville. I was accepted into their Spetember class with the option of starting later this month if sopts become available. I know there...

So today is D day! I was an okay student in school making A's and B's, studied using Saunders, ATI, Exam Cram Kaplan, and the NCLEX study guide floating around herem I sat down to the NCLEX PN exam and got 13 SATA, 1 Math, 3 Exhibits, 2 pictures, 3 d...

No, I didnt since I used pretty much every other resource that everyone said they used in order to pass the exam. IF I decide to take it again, I would hate to focus on Priority and Delegation questions only for everything else to be given to me on t...

Taking the NCLEX-PN May 1st. I have the ATI series and the indicator stated about a 85% pass rate as a first time taker. I have been using Saunders and Exam Cram for content and questions since I cant afford anything else. The questions are easier to...

Jobs come and go but your health and mental well-being stays with you forever. With that being said, as a new nurse it does take awhile to "get into the swing of things". However, if you are that unhappy please don't quit until you have something els...

I think it depends on the state and method used. As a teacher, I was fingerprinted electronically and during the high season it took about 3 days to come back. Now that I have graduated my nursing program I have been fingerprinted twice. On March 1st...

For LPN's....... Pearson Reviews & Rationales: Comprehensive Review for NCLEX-PN®, 2nd Edition By Mary Ann Hogan, Julie Skrabal Published by Prentice Hall Copyright © 2012 Pub. Date: Dec 12, 201...

I HAD to work through nursing school as a Full-time teacher and PRN Home Health Aide. I am single, live alone, and my closest family is over 4 hours away from the town that I lived in. My advice: if you have to work be prepared for long days, late ni...

I also think that it is a bad idea to wait until you take the NCLEX to look for a position. That is the worse move you could make in this current economy. I started looking for positions about a month before graduation. In my cover letter I letter th...

@Original Poster.... I can sympathize and empathize with your current situation. As a recent graduate, I came across great nurses and horrible nurses. Some nurses love having students others don't. Some nurses remember what it was like to be in nursi...

Correctional Nursing....lots of people over look it. Inmates and detainees need healthcare as well.

I would say be prepared for anything. I went on one interview this week where the DON walked out the room. came back a few minutes later, and asked me "Tell me about MYSELF". On the inside, I was like, Really?!?!?!?!?!? That took me by total suprise....

I would say, think outside of the box and do not limit yourself to just the hospital. I graduated from a Practical Nurse program in January 2012, have yet to take the NCLEX, and the only healthcare experience that I have is working as a Home Health A...

If it is only asking you to place a number either put in all zeros or try to leave it blank.

Has anyone heard the good, the bad, and the ugly about First Coast Technical College (FCTC) in St. Augustine, Florida? I tried searching but nothing comes up.

On my way out of the store I grabbed one of those job papers since I am looking for a CNA position and am having the worst time ever finding a position in Jacksonville. Despite the fact that I have been a professionally certified teacher for six year...

Another day, another school...ITT Tech College in Jacksonville...RN Program......I guess I am just going to have to leave the area since it is way to saturated.

The previous poster is 110% correct. None of the public or JU have waiting lists. For a matter of fact Florida universities do not have waiting lists the majority, if not all of them, now have a point system. This poisnt system is the ranking that is...

I am the original poster, and in NO way did I specifically "bash" any school. I merely noted that these for-profit career college schools are popping up all over Jacksonville in a time when its hard to find a RN/LPN jobs. If spending over $30k to bec...

Geez! Add Virginia College to the list. I saw their advertisement spot over the weekend. Its just not right that these "schools" are allowed to take advantage of unsuspecting people.

Just be hopeful. Waiting lists can be good, especially at JU. The proce is pretty hefty since it is a private college and some people may not be able to get the financing that they are needing.

To be completely honest, having CNA or healthcare experience is what is important. Employers assume that you have "good grades" since you were able to make it out of the program. I know that I am having the worst time ever finding a CNA position beca...

Hello, all I can say is: "Where there is a will there is a way." I subscribe to the notion that people make time for things that are important to them. Therefore, teaching is my profession and current career so I am responsible to make sure that I s...

Great. Yes, I am a teacher still. Im actually in a LPN Program right now which is why Im putting it off until then. :)

Yes. For the summer of 2011.
