  1. Hey all VCC Nursing students starting in Fall

    luv4nursing replied to mrandmrsRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    just want to tell all you generic students that you will get thru it. I went thru their fast track program and it was no joke. Spring, Summer, Fall, graduation. We had to go thru the same material...

  2. GA Nursing Roll Call

    luv4nursing replied to jb2u's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi GA nurses! My name is Leslie, I live in Tampa but my husband and I will be moving to Savannah, GA in a few short weeks. I am excited and looking forward to the change, and it appears the pay will...

  3. Florida Hospital in Orlando

    luv4nursing replied to untamable07's topic in Florida Nursing

    I live near Tampa (used to live in Orlando, but dont know the rates). That sounds about right though. FL Hospital Zephyrhills pays around the same thing for a new grad, but they offer a great rate of...

  4. LPN to RN Online Openings

    luv4nursing replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The bridge program I completed was online. Its in Orlando FL and you do have to be present for exams(midterms and finals) and you have clinicals once a week. It would be an option for people in FL or...

  5. LPN Confusion - Tampa Bay Area

    luv4nursing replied to cc33702's topic in Florida Nursing

    I was in Orlando when I was an LPN and I found that the few LPN positions that were available required previous hospital experience as an LPN. A long time ago LPNs always worked in the hospital, so...

  6. Is there such a thing as being too thin to be nurse?

    luv4nursing replied to CherryB's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Cherry, glad to hear you don't have a problem. Some people are underweight just like some people are overweight. It isn't any more right for someone to look at you and assume you have an eating...

  7. Is there such a thing as being too thin to be nurse?

    luv4nursing replied to CherryB's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There could be a possibility that they question whether you have an eating disorder since you are about 20 pounds underweight. Other than that, I don't think you would be judged for being thin since...

  8. Savannah RN Salary Info please

    luv4nursing posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    My husband and I will likely be moving to Savannah this fall, and I would like to know the average starting RN salary at the area hospitals. I would really appreciate any information anyone can...

  9. Savannah RN Salary Info please

    luv4nursing replied to luv4nursing's topic in Georgia Nursing

    One more question for ya! Do benefits start from day one or do you have to wait 90 days? This is another important factor, since Im pregger's, we cant have a lapse in medical insurance. Ill definitely...

  10. Savannah RN Salary Info please

    luv4nursing replied to luv4nursing's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Christen, I could kiss you! That is exactly the info I needed! Thank you sooo much! The hospital I currently work for locally offers $35/hr if you decline benefits and it was going to be hard to walk...

  11. Ever Gag or Vimit While Doing the Job?

    luv4nursing replied to 987!'s topic in General Nursing

    I agree! I'm extra emotional because of these pregnancy hormones, but Leslie your post made me tear up. BTW My name is Leslie too! You sound like a great

  12. Valencia Community College

    luv4nursing replied to Sugargirl66's topic in Florida Nursing

    I did their online Advanced track bridge program and finished in December. It was a great program and very convenient for working adults. I'm not sure about the CPT, I didnt have to take it bc I had...

  13. LPN Scope of Practice & IV Certification

    luv4nursing replied to nursepammiej's topic in Florida Nursing

    I went to Orlando tech for my LPN, which is thru Orange Co. Public Schools, so that's how I knew about the IV certification. I took the class shortly after graduation. They told us that it is the only...

  14. Would you give birth at the hospital where you work?

    luv4nursing posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why or why not? The insurance plan offered at my hospital isnt the greatest at all...for hospitalization it is $250/day plus 20% if I stay within the specific hospital network...with a 50% discount if...

  15. Would you give birth at the hospital where you work?

    luv4nursing replied to luv4nursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for your opinions...they have given me more to think about. I really appreciate it. As someone mentioned earlier about what is given in report,etc...I think that is one of my main worries. Such...

  16. Any LPN to RN bridge programs in East TN?

    luv4nursing replied to Tony1790's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Hey there...Im originally from the tri-cities but moved to FL and pursued nursing here. ETSU has an LPN to BSN program and from what I hear its a year and a half long. I dont know of any LPN to ASN...

  17. Any Valencia CC students for fall 08?

    luv4nursing replied to Cococure's topic in Florida Nursing

    I work at Florida Hospital. So far so good :) I just found out Im expecting so its going to make the transition a little harder being pregnant...its stressful and emotional enough without pregnancy...

  18. Curious: Which is tougher/More Overwhelming... 1st Yr RN or LPN?

    luv4nursing replied to missjennmb's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh I see what you mean. I think if you were an LPN in the hospital, the transition to RN would be a piece of cake...maybe even with LTC experience as well. Unfortunately I worked in peds home health...

  19. Any Valencia CC students for fall 08?

    luv4nursing replied to Cococure's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey Coco, I remember talking with you about schools a while back. Congrats and good luck. Valencia has good

  20. Curious: Which is tougher/More Overwhelming... 1st Yr RN or LPN?

    luv4nursing replied to missjennmb's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ive been an LPN and am now an RN, and I dont think you can compare the two titles within the same setting. In the hospital setting, they perform the same jobs. Depending on the state, LPNs do most of...

  21. keiser college

    luv4nursing replied to kiya05tall's topic in Florida Nursing

    Unfortunately, I think you are right. People should hear the good, bad, and ugly so they know what they are signing up for. To put it nicely, I havent heard much positive feedback about the school....

    luv4nursing replied to allthingsbright's topic in First Year After Licensure

  23. Keiser opinions? Please help.

    luv4nursing replied to mommie2bodie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry if I offended anyone. I dont mean to pass judgement on the graduates of the program, it just makes me mad that they charge so much for tuition and dont even prepare their students for the NCLEX...

  24. Orlando Tech... new here

    luv4nursing replied to minnielu's topic in Florida Nursing

    Valencia was a good program and the teachers truly did everything they could to help us succeed. I graduated in December. Thanks for the congrats! :) I think SCC has their LPN-RN bridge online now...

  25. Keiser opinions? Please help.

    luv4nursing replied to mommie2bodie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would be careful of private schools such as Keiser. First of all you are paying way too much for an education that isnt even respected by many hospitals. They are like nursing mills who churn out...
