    CrazyCatLadyRN replied to vccorscc's topic in Florida Nursing

    It's really tough in FL right now. I just graduated this semester and luckily I got a position in the hospital where I did my preceptorship but, I'd say only 20 % of my class out of about a 100 had...

    CrazyCatLadyRN replied to Kevsab7's topic in General Nursing

    In the state of FL you have to go to EMT-B school first. If you have that done and your RN license (+ACLS done) you can challenge the state paramedic test. That's what I plan on doing (graduating with...

    CrazyCatLadyRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

  9. RN to paramedic: Worthwhile?

    CrazyCatLadyRN replied to chuckster's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on what state you live in, you may be able to challenge the Paramedic boards since you have your RN, EMT-B, and will have ACLS. This is the case in the state where I live (FL). This might be...

  10. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    CrazyCatLadyRN replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    I totally agree with you. I've lived in FL my whole life (born in S.Fla). It is so annoying to see people clump FL together as ONE "big-bad" state. It is soooo different from region to region. I went...

    CrazyCatLadyRN replied to friendlylark's topic in Emergency

    This is kind of what I have started to do. I'll graduate with my BSN in April and last summer I went to EMT school in between nursing semesters. I think it helped me A LOT! My assessment skills are so...

    CrazyCatLadyRN replied to NoPrisoners's topic in Emergency

    CrazyCatLadyRN replied to CaRN1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    CrazyCatLadyRN replied to smckenzi's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am a nursing student in FL and am taking the EMT-B course this summer at a community college. It definitely teaches you a different way of thinking and I would highly recommend it if you get the...

    CrazyCatLadyRN replied to TrinaCNA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Acronyms for each area of the body really helped me. Make your own up or google them. It helps if you know them so well that you can visualize it in your head without looking at a picture. Also get...

    CrazyCatLadyRN replied to lllchillylll's topic in Florida Nursing

    to be honest, people telling you their scores and gps would probably cause you more stress than anything. trust me...I was there last year. playing that game is not a good one. besides that there are...

    CrazyCatLadyRN replied to undecidedmajor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the FSU nursing program so I'm not sure how unbiased I am, but I absolutely love it! We have clinicals all over the place. They recently just redid the entire program and my term was the first...
