Anyone know how long the process usually takes to obtain permanent licensure by endorsement in Hawaii? Florida is notoriously slow (1.5-2 months) - was just wondering if any of you guys had experience with this? Thanks! John

1) I have not heard of any such organization, although I do believe that there is an online discussion board for GLBT healthcare workers. 2) I'm not sure that it would be such a great idea, anyway. There are enough problems with Male vs. Female nurse...

I would *NEVER* work this hard and practically kill myself some days just for the $$$$ from nursing. Those who are in it just for the money won't last very long, in my opinion. Just my 0.02 John

For the prompt response. So happy to hear your positive input. I lived on Oahu and Maui for 8 years about 10 years ago, and have always wanted to return. (I relocated to finish my PT degree after 1 year of UH Manoa). I may have the opporturnity to re...

This one is easy. By FAR the best I've ever seen/used - and I've had physiology and pathophysiology coursework at 2 different colleges that used this text. Human Physiology - by Vander, Sherman, Luciano. Here is a link to a description: http://higher...

The evening program is just like the day program only in the evening??? (Sorry, I couldn't resist!) The biggest differences: Clinical hours for the "day" program are 6:30am-2:30pm, and for the "evening" program, 2:30pm-10:30pm. The classes are essent...

"Are some candidates randomly selected to receive a long NCLEX examination? It is NOT true that some candidates randomly receive a maximum length examination. The length of an NCLEX examination is based on the performance of the candidate on the exam...

I am a graduate of the SPC ADRN program, and would be happy to answer any questions that you may have. I felt that the program provided outstanding opportunities to learn, and is doing an excellent job to prepare its students. John

Tweety is right on this one (at least per all of the orthopedic surgeons in this neck of the woods). We teach our patients that after 1 year, they should basically just "live their life", and no longer need to maintain abduction with bed positioning...

"Gave" this to myself as a graduation gift. Worth every penny. Suddenly, I started hearing things that I probably should have been hearing all through school. 'OHHHHH. So THAT's what rales sound like', etc. No substitute for quality here. As my spous...

The biggest problem at our facility (med-surg/tele) seems to involve the level of patient acuity. Sometimes an assignment of 7 patients leaves me (for lack of a better expression) unchallenged. (bored?). Other times (and more often than not), just 4 ...

I've sent you a PM with some of my thoughts on the region - I love living here. John

Hello - From what I read on the website for Pensacola Junior College, the program is accredited by the NLN, and graduates are able to sit for the NCLEX for licensure upon successful completion. That is all you would need to become an RN, and the Ass...

on your significant accomplishment! I can imagine how very relieved you must feel. The waiting part is the worst! Just wanted to chime in and give you a 'high five' and 'attaboy!' (or is that 'attagirl?') John

I earned my Physical Therapy degree in Mobile AL, which is about 40 minutes away from Pensacola. I can't comment on working conditions or pay scale, because I live further south now, but can comment on the area. It's very rural, and very much the "ol...
