HOLY COW! I did it!!! 2 years of blood, sweat and tears and it's finally over! To anyone currently in SPC's RN program or about to begin their journey, SPC really does a great job to to prepare you for what is to come. The instructors have been gre...

I'm not sure where you got that 30%, but the past 2 semesters the graduation/pass rate has been in the 90th percentile.

I am graduating in less than a month and am SO thankful I am an EAYL grad! I have worked at Morton Plant Clearwater for about 2 years now and that got me the chance to get my foot in the door with my manager. There are very limited job opportunities...

You'll get over it. I'm fine with poop, but its sputum, trach care and feet that make me gag.

MED/SURG! You learn/see soooooooo much!

I am a PCT and in my senior yr of NS. I googled "tough to answer interview questions and answers" and you can get a lot of ideas that way. I HATE that "what is your weakness" question. I found a good one though....My weakness is I have difficulty w...

They will tell you when everything is due by on the first day but it is generally before you have your first day of clinicals in the hospital which isn't going to be for at least a month after school starts

I have had 15lbs in weight gain in 1.5 years,GERD, anxiety that has triggered palpitations (PVC's) and I now have IBS. So yeah.....it has taken a toll on my health

Are you thinking of BayCARE's EAYL? I didn't know BayFRONT has one? I got into Baycare's EAYL and going into level 4 in Aug. As for applying, it always looks better when you have more classes DONE rather than still enrolled, but you never know...

That looks like a pretty good GPA. You won't know until you apply :) Also, try programs like earn as you learn and largo med...that's how I got in!

Tampa bay area (pinellas county) $22.75 days and $27 for nights. TAKE IT!

I am going on my final semester for my RN and I have been working 20hr/wk at a hospital and on top of that took out student loans. My paychecks are tiny so I wouldn't have been able to make it through without the loans. Good luck! :)

Level 3 is NUTS! I found it the hardest yet. I had those instructors for theory and it was just like any other theory class...they pretty much just read off the powerpoints. Ugh!

A man and woman in my clinical group just got engaged recently. They met in NS. It's up to you what you let distract you from your studies.

I live in Tampa Bay area and am in NS working as a PCT (pretty much the same as a CNA) and make 11.88/hr

I threw my back out last week boosting a 300 lb patient because the person helping me was weak :) Good thing I have chiropractic care covered by my insurance!

AVM- I am in EAYL level 4 and I called them once a week to check up on the status! I was calling them and then as I was leaving a message to check on the status, Terri beeped in on call waiting to say I had made it lol. Kinda funny. :)

To the two waiting on EAYL....they have a board that the go over the applicants with and make their decisions that way, but overall D.C. (Cant say full names on here) makes the final decision.

AVM- I am in EAYL 3rd semester. I am assuming you made it through the first round...the second and final interview will be with the director (one on one interview). Tips: OBVIOUSLY don't be late! Dress appropriate! If you have any letters of rec...

I am almost finished with nursing school. I'm 26, husband...no kids...and I work 16-20 hrs a week at a hosptial as a PCT. It is possible! But it does vary from person to person. I have classmates that work only 8 hrs and they can barely handle th...

Question for the original poster......why are you going for an LPN? I am not sure if you know this, but it is hard to find a place that will still hire LPN's. A lot of places aren't anymore because they have to have an RN double check everything th...

I am in my 3rd semester of NS and I got in with a 3.0. I applied for a program with a hospital so I got in through them. Its a scholarship program.

When in the nursing field you aren't going to be able to have the time to think back to some nursing skill you read in the book. You have to be able to go in there and just do it! Thats why they make us practice so much in class. Things never go h...

I hated my OB rotation this semester! The hospital where we were..the nurses could have cared LESS that we were there. They never wanted us around and were so rude to us! Because of that, there was a lot of observation and when you had a question ...

This is probably going to get me in trouble with the moms out there...BUT......:) I understand that parents have a lot on their plate on top of NS. They have to go home and take care of their children AND do homework. But please realize that when y...
