Congrats to everyone who made it in!! Looks like some of us will be meeting tomorrow, June 25th @ 7p at the Brass Tap up at Wiregrass Mall in Wesley Chapel. Anyone is welcome to come celebrate and have a drink! We deserve it!!! Christina Applie...

Yes, FHZ is no longer hiring non-benefitted at the increased rate. I think it was around $35/hr dayshift with no benefits. They are not offering that anymore. You either take benefits or show you have benefits and the rate is the same. BOO!!!!

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 diffs.

Ha!!!! Riches!!! FH Zephyrhills is paying GNs $19.

I have Nikes from Nordstrom Rack that have a minimal amount of silver and black on the swoosh and they were approved.

My gf is bridging this summer as are a number of ppl from her class. 100% doable :-)

Its available to employees going for their RN. It's $1750/ semester and you are contracted to work for the hospital for 6 months for every semester of scholarship money taken. And if you break your contract you pay it back at 150%! :-\ But I wanted...

Sorry, yes, I got all the required books for class. But a lot of my studying came from supplemental resources, SUCH AS NCLEX study guides and practice tests I found online. Also, I have a scholarship thru my employer, FHZ. If you have any questions...

I finished my first semester in the RN program at NPR. I got an A, had a ton of fun but started studying for exams 7-10 says before the exam date. I used to just cram the night before! It's not that bad. It is front loaded in the beginning and seem...

I too work at FHZ, as a unit secretary and have been here a year and a half. I'm trying to do nurse tech but apparently they are changing some things with regard to the NT position, so I am waiting for that to get hammered out. By far, the BEST dec...

Typically, RN orientation is one day and LPN is a different day. Go with your program specific day.

Drug test, eh? So......that's new....

Bartonbunch!!! It's me, Christina!!! Congrats girl!!!!

You guys are so cute!!! ;-)

Holler!!!!! Congrats to all!!!!

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 luck!

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 from this website. I would stalk peoples scores and g...

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 spring and just finished my first sem. Had a blast...

I already have a B.S. and I plan on getting either my MSN, DNP or CNS within the next 5 years. I am 1/4 of the way thru my ADN. I already have an RN job at the hospital I currently work at, after I graduate. But I'm still worried I made a mistake and...

Thanks everyone! Awesome responses to think on! ;-) For clarification, yes sorry, I used RN when I should have used ADN in my OP when referencing the degree, not the license. Also, the hospital pays a total of $7,000 i.e. about what it costs aro...

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 made some great friends and besides tge program havin...

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

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 similar to dr's office hours (no nights, weekends, ...

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 bet passing the proverbial camel through the eye ...

Community colleges? No. But places like USF and UT, that look at more than just entrance exam scores and GPA? Yes, definitely. I know for a FACT, USF looks at volunteerism in a medical setting as one of their acceptance requirements. GL
