  1. What on earth did nursing students do before the internet and msg boards??

    ADeks replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I've never asked for help with any of my school work on here. It would seem pointless because you don't know the project I have been assigned nor do you know the info of my patient. My class and I do...

  2. Public Colleges vs. Private Universities for Nursing School

    ADeks replied to an0nymous's topic in General Nursing

    If you know you want to go to nursing is there a way you can work on your pre-requisite classes while you're in HS? Like dual-enroll at a community college (in Fl it's free for HS students)? Also,...

    ADeks replied to ChasingRain's topic in General Nursing

    I just finished my 2nd semester as well and have a cute cut that's above the shoulders and I wore my hair down during clinicals. Also, if it was in an awkward stage where it was a lil too long to be...

    ADeks replied to gissel80's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  5. nursing schools in tampa

    ADeks replied to vanni02's topic in Florida Nursing

    It really depends on what you're looking for. For an LPN I know of Galen and Keiser. Galen though sets you up for an RN. If you want to be an RN the public school HCC (Tampa) and SPC (Pinellas) will...

  6. Thinking ahead about job search...stay where I am?

    ADeks replied to Suncat12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So I talked to some recent grads who went straight into their specialty in Peds ICU and Peds ER. They worked in those units as techs and that's how they got picked up immediately. The ICU nurse said...

    ADeks replied to nursingstudent221's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Here in Florida. A hospital will hire a CNA for Med/Surg floors. And if you want, they can train you to be a PCT. Then you can do foley catheters and such. Other than being certified through the...

    ADeks replied to NursePunkinz's topic in Florida Nursing

    In Galen, once you get your RN can you transfer to a BSN too? I heard recently you couldn't and my friend is asking me if he should go to Galen or SPC. Why didn't you try for

    ADeks replied to kiya05tall's topic in Florida Nursing

    Ok, I'm in a RN program, but I just recently learned that some of the RN programs through private schools don't transfer over for an RN-to-BSN program. Does

  11. Free CNA training in FL

    ADeks replied to bjames_ging's topic in Florida Nursing

    The only FREE CNA I can think of is... If you get a job at a hospital as a Unit Secretary they will cross train you as a tech which is kind of a glorified CNA, but you get paid more for being...

    ADeks replied to AcousticFoodie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm still in nursing school. And so far I have an 'A' average, but this semester I'm closer to a B and fighting for an A. And I thought the same about C=RN which is true, but I'm thinking about...

    ADeks replied to mmwarrin's topic in General Students

    Have you tried talking to your teachers? I know, it can be embarrassing. Think it about it this way to be in nursing we have all been over achievers, and now it's really hard to get lower grades....

    ADeks replied to Morgan0429's topic in Florida Nursing

    You don't exactly have to have gotten into the SPC nursing program. I know many people who weren't accepted this semester or were alternates and where applying. You do have to meet ALL the...

  15. Does anyone knows if a 3.29 GPA will make it to the fall nursing program?

    ADeks replied to fated's topic in Florida Nursing

    For SPC it may be that it's only a couple hours. The two days you go to classes are different times as well. It may say 1pm because in the night program you HAVE to take classes through the summer....
