True, but when the cost of living is higher than what you will be making to live comfortably, life experiences may need to wait. Plus you will definitely need to learn the language in order to get a position. Another thing to consider is that this ma...

Hello! I have a question for you guys. I am wondering how many of you already have your classes enrolled for the summer? Currently almost done with the 3rd semester at Metro Orlando, we start the 4th semester in 1 month and we still have no clue of w...

Hello! I have been an L&D RN BSN on my own for about 2.5 months after 4 months of orientation. I feel the need to maybe relocate for personal reasons. What is the best way to find the best places to relocate to and be able to compare cost of livi...

Hello, yes, I passed my NCLEX in May. To the current students my only advice is to keep up with their HESI quizzes and tests. It'll help you to pass the HESI at the end of each semester and in a way prepare you for NCLEX. Do not start freaking out ab...

It's hard to maintain hope when I keep reading all this different situations. I guess I will have to suck it up and wait until Friday morning for the quick results. Thanks...

Hello everyone! Also took my NCLEX today at 8am meaning I can't/shouldn't attempt the Quick Results until Friday at around 10am. I did try the trick using wrong expiration date and wrong last digit on my card and wrong exp date, and it said card in...

More than hating to hear mucus plug, I hate it more when people bring it to show us they've lost it and of course that means that the baby is coming NOW! #gohomeplease

I have been an OB Scrub Tech for 4.5 years. On L&D we don't have OB Techs, we have to have a valid CNA license, NRP, and most importantly we have to be scrub techs because we are the ones who scrub the c/s's. During vag deliveries we mainly do ba...

Well, it took me 3.5 years to complete my BSN. I had only 4 classes transferred so I pretty much did it at SUAGM. Yes, entrance exams are in Spanish and English to see where you're at because you will need at least 2 English classes and 2 Spanish one...

Well, I go to Metro Orlando. Just finished my BSN this past Saturday after a lot of heartache and frustration. I don't know how it is over in Miami. In Orlando the program is fairly new, we are the 2nd nursing graduating class so there is a lot of di...

Are you planning on going to one of the Puerto Rico campuses or Orlando?

Question, you don't speak Spanish but you're trying to work in Puerto Rico? Not trying to offend anyone. Just wanting to figure out why you would want to, and are you aware that PR nurses make half of what a US nurse makes?

May I ask why did you chose them?

I know this is an old post, but I was wondering, has anyone been in the situation where a professor fails a whole graduating class?

We finished tonight and we were having this discussion since we have to wait for the class that comes behind us, who we're not friends with but a few of them, and they don't finish until May, so out pinning won't be until June and graduation ceremony...

Hello, I will be done with nursing school this Saturday after a 3.5 year long journey. Pinning and graduation are both not until June, but I can however take my boards as soon as my school sends my transcripts to the board of nursing, so until then, ...

May I ask you what state you're in?

You're correct. My school only does one walking ceremony in June for the whole schools and all programs. Also they want to only have one pinning (I'm guessing to save money) so even though we finish this Saturday, can't have our pinning until June as...

I know that part. So in the meantime, what am I?

My school's first class to graduate this past summer had someone made scrubs for everyone, they were all the same. The only thing is that they were pants and a top and most of them wore their hair down. I always liked the classical white scrub dress...

Wow, sorry for all these typos. Guess it's time for bed! Hope you can still get my message across.

In L&D not always will you have one patient. We have had nights (likeSt night) that one of the juries had 2 labor patients slot progressing and all of the suddenly they were both racing each other and delivered very close to each other. If you're...

Hello all! I will be done with my 3rd semester this Saturday (Peds and OB), and have 1 day off (not really, too much he already) and start our 4th semester with Mental Health on Monday and lab Tuesday and Community lab Thursday and Community Health L...

We just got them like a month ago and love them!

Our respiratory techs get rotated so you would not be assigned to l&d and nicu all the time anyway. If nursing is your passion, go for it. You're 48 now, in 4 years you will be 52 and you you can be a nurse then or not be one and wonder what if f...
