  1. Everest Nursing school issues

    DanainOrlando replied to Motoxer28's topic in Florida Nursing

    Most community colleges and technical high schools in Florida offer PCT programs, for a grand or

  2. Where are there Nursing Schools that aren't as Impacted as California?

    DanainOrlando replied to deeray02's topic in General Nursing

    Is the private one in Oklahoma very expensive? Just curious. These days there is frequently a tradeoff between paying a lot of money to get in right away, and waiting forever to get into the cheaper...

  3. Where are there Nursing Schools that aren't as Impacted as California?

    DanainOrlando replied to deeray02's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of community colleges in Florida have LPN to RN bridge programs which would be way cheaper than a private program. https://www.scc-fl.edu/nursing/degreesdiplomas/lpntransitiontrack/...

  4. Any ideas on looking for work?

    DanainOrlando replied to shell20151's topic in Florida Nursing

    I see CNA jobs on Indeed.com. If there are no RN jobs for now it might help to take a CNA job and get some local health care connections, and perhaps you would be in line for any RN jobs that open up...

  5. Bashed for pursuing lpn route

    DanainOrlando replied to soladylike1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ha! I'm in my mid-40s. LPN program takes one year! I think it is a GREAT mid life career change option. And for all those people who look down on being an LPN - it's not necessarily the end of the...

  6. Bashed for pursuing lpn route

    DanainOrlando replied to soladylike1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm looking at LPN school as well and I've had a number of people ask my why I don't just go straight to RN. Here's why - because I can't afford to be out of work for two years straight, and because...

  7. Got fired

    DanainOrlando replied to Keenay99's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hmmm. I know it's a pain for nurses to have to answer a lot of questions from new people - but frankly - I think that comes with the territory when a new nurse/LPN has been hired. If the nurse has...

  8. Accelerated BSN Programs For Those Who Want To Move Into Nursing

    DanainOrlando replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm going through the same debates and honestly, only you know your financial situation well enough to answer that. There are LPN programs in my area that are part time - evenings - so I could work as...

  9. Accelerated BSN Programs For Those Who Want To Move Into Nursing

    DanainOrlando replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I know. I am taking developmental psych right now, and depending on what nursing school I apply to I may have to take ethics and speech. I reeeelly don't want to take these classes, I don't believe...

  10. Accelerated BSN Programs For Those Who Want To Move Into Nursing

    DanainOrlando replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I know that getting a CNA certification is ridiculous at this point - BUT - it's pretty easy to get, isn't it? Here in Florida, I just took a one week, $295 course at CNA Kwik Track - loved them! -...

  11. Is there more demand for Physician's Assistants than for nurses?

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I am looking literally anywhere in the country where I could get into a PA program - once I finish up the science pre-requisites. I know that whether or not it is REQUIREd, two this that will...

  12. Is there more demand for Physician's Assistants than for nurses?

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    Well, on the bright side, as a reporter, I watched an autopsy, looked at crime scene and evidence photos, and was around dead bodies fairly often so I know that I can handle the gross

  13. Is there more demand for Physician's Assistants than for nurses?

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    I LOVE newspapers. I loved being a reporter. I can not believe the calibre of journalists who are being laid off right now; wonderful people with decades of experience and walls full of journalism...

  14. Is there more demand for Physician's Assistants than for nurses?

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    I know. I know that either as an RN or a PA - and it will take me about 4 years to get either degree because of all the pre-req's that I need - it won't be a slam-dunk to get a job when I graduate....

  15. Is there more demand for Physician's Assistants than for nurses?

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    I do have a bachelor's - it's a B.A. - but at least I have my humanities classes already done! Good to know there are P.A. job openings out

  16. Is there more demand for Physician's Assistants than for nurses?

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    I am up for rigorous schooling - but I want a different experience then I would get from being a pharmacist - I want more hands-on patient care and interaction. I appreciate the link to the...

  17. Is there more demand for Physician's Assistants than for nurses?

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that is a concern. I went to a PA forum and people were talking about applying to 15 or 16 programs to get accepted into one. As if getting into nursing school wasn't hard enough these days! I'm...

  18. Is there more demand for Physician's Assistants than for nurses?

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    No, I have a B.A. However, at Nova, here in FLorida, there is no requirement for a B.S. I just have to complete these pre-req's with a 2.9 or higher (and I'm sure that realistically, to get in to...

  19. Is there more demand for Physician's Assistants than for nurses?

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still in the research stage - I am going to spend this year at community college getting back up to speed at algebra, taking developmental psych, medical terminology, nutrition, A&P II,...

  20. Is there more demand for Physician's Assistants than for nurses?

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    Good to know. I'm doing my research now. I have a bachelor's degree in journalism from a long time ago; I'm hoping that the B.A., plus the math and science classes that I'm taking at community...

  21. Is it good to apply to a lot of nursing schools?

    DanainOrlando replied to carissabest's topic in General Nursing

    I am taking pre-req's right now (well, starting in three weeks) and I can tell you, most of the local schools have many more people applying then they have slots. If I only applied to one school, I...

  22. Is it good to apply to a lot of nursing schools?

    DanainOrlando replied to carissabest's topic in General Nursing

    What could it hurt to apply to numerous nursing schools? Especially if, as it sounds from your post, you can relocate anywhere. It makes sense to research the schools that you are considering applying...

  23. Is the job market better for paramedics then for nurses?

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in Nursing Career

    Certainly worth a try! I'll check with my local hospitals to see what the job requirements

  24. Is the job market better for paramedics then for nurses?

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in Nursing Career

    I know that places where LPNs can get hired are a lot more limited than places where RNs can get hired - the main reason I'm interested in an LPN degree is because I could get one quickly and then...

  25. Is the job market better for paramedics then for nurses?

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in Nursing Career

    Good point - I don't want to repeat a lot of classes if I can avoid it. One of my goals is graduating as soon as possible so I can get out there and start
