    Chris99mu replied to RNmilwife's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh and FHZ med surg has 6:1 for RNs and 10-15:1 for CNAs. PCU has 4:1 and usually 1 tech for all pts, sometimes as many as 16. ICU has no techs, not sure about RN ratio. Also not sure about

    Chris99mu replied to tinkkey04's topic in Florida Nursing

    Uh,that's the biggest load of dog trash I've ever heard. It's strictly by the numbers. To think otherwise, is only psyching yourself out. Do your best, say a prayer and then wait. Good

  17. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself? PHCC Advice

    Chris99mu replied to jeremytodd's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Jeremy- I can't speak to your first question but I can to the second. Admissions is very tight lipped about past candidates' test scores and GPAs which is frustrating! But you can gather a lot...

    Chris99mu replied to tinkkey04's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Barton!! I see you!! (It's me, Christina!!!) My take? My friend got into LPN last fall as an alternate. I got in and declined, hoping for RN admittance. Didn't get it. But I did get in this past...

  19. Anyone worried b/c you did RN and not BSN?

    Chris99mu posted a topic in General Students

    Chris99mu replied to Chris99mu's topic in General Students

  21. Any SPC/PHCC Fall 2011 Hopefuls?

    Chris99mu replied to tinkkey04's topic in Florida Nursing

    Even after being in the program for 1 semester, my friends and I still joke we still have no more idea about the intricacies and hoopla that is PHCCs admission process. But its a ton of fun, I've...

    Chris99mu replied to tinkkey04's topic in Florida Nursing

    nekaw, I got into PHCC's RN program with a 3.69 and an 88. You should be fine

  23. Is it any fun working in a doctors office as an RN? Or something along those lines

    Chris99mu replied to wnb4's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I thought most dr's offices, at least that I have seen, are staffed by medical assistants. I rarely ever see actual RNs. Another option might be a same day/outpatient surgery center. They can be...

  24. Any PHCC January 2011 applicants out there?

    Chris99mu posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Well, my 3.43 and 88 didn't cut it. Big surprise, I know. ;-) So I am retaking PSY real fast this summer to get an A. Here's hoping a 3.69 is enough to cut it, though I'm not holding my breath. I...

    Chris99mu replied to Kfarmer's topic in Florida Nursing
