  1. Anyone else applying for fall 2010 SPC nursing program?

    scrapworking replied to haimyem's topic in Florida Nursing

    I went down this afternoon to verify that they did receive my on-line application without any problems (they were surprised to hear of anyone having an issue doing it on-line). I also got my...

  2. PHCC Fall 2010 applicants? You out there??

    scrapworking replied to Chris99mu's topic in Florida Nursing

    Right now, the rest of my pre-reqs are all online, but I guess the NPR campus (West?) would the "home". I need to start brushing up on my science for the Teas...and give myself time for a re-test if...

  3. Anyone else applying for fall 2010 SPC nursing program?

    scrapworking replied to haimyem's topic in Florida Nursing

    Here! Wish I'd seen your PM earlier...I did mine online last night. I guess I'll just have to follow up with them next week to confirm it was received (even though I did get a confirmation email!)....

  4. PHCC Fall 2010 applicants? You out there??

    scrapworking replied to Chris99mu's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am! Slogging through the rest of my classes this semester...waiting until I can get my app in. Need to pay for/schedule the TEAS yet. Yeah, the waiting has got to be

  5. RN Student in NYC and wants to take the LVN/LPN Board in California

    scrapworking replied to kvdlr's topic in General Students

    I would go to the California Board of Nursing site and do some investigating. I did find this specifically for applying for LVN licensure in CA (the CA state website for LVN's/Psych Tech's)...

  6. failed my science courses

    scrapworking replied to narditorino's topic in General Students

    Look for a LPN program at a technical school (may also be called a vocational school) where the costs are still reasonable ($5K at a local school here, vs about $18K-20K for a private school in the...

  7. Studying tips for those with ADHD (and no prescription meds)

    scrapworking replied to caffeineRx's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    LOL - true! I was told multi-tasking was a symptom of ADD/ADHD. I guess that means than 99% of all mothers have it. And I hear you on re-painting rooms, cleaning the oven, etc. instead of...

  8. A little worried...

    scrapworking replied to Taaz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Taaz...that's great news! Glad to hear you're on the right track. No, I don't recommend being argumentative or disrespectful, but approach them with a lot of "I don't think I'm..." or "I'm unsure...

  9. Teas test prep

    scrapworking replied to SmilesNoir's topic in Florida Nursing

    It is...I grabbed it before his download had expired and just uploaded it to my 4shared account recently, which never expires or has download limits. Good

  10. A little worried...

    scrapworking replied to Taaz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Right off the bat, my suggestion would be to go to your Sociology instructor and ask for some feedback. What can you improve on? What kind of comments did you get on your completed assignments? Ask...

  11. Arrrg... Every college has totally different programs

    scrapworking replied to frodo-dog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're right. It is frustrating. I'm applying to 2 colleges in the Spring for the Fall 2010 semester. One college is 17 miles south of me, the other is 25 miles north of me...each in a different...

  12. Any "50-ish" Pre-Nursing Students?

    scrapworking replied to Elle16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 46 y/o, just finishing up the rest of my pre-reqs this Spring to apply to the Fall 2010 program at the local college(s). Applying anywhere that's financially feasible, even though it's meant...

  13. Info about PHCC bridge program?

    scrapworking replied to Jess84's topic in Florida Nursing

    Here's the link to PHCC's LPN Transition program. Here'sthe link to SPC's LPN Transitional program. Just at first glance, you have quite a few more pre-entry, gen ed and support class requirements...

  14. Tampa/Clearwater Area Nurses and Students

    scrapworking replied to bethann21's topic in Florida Nursing

    It's a bit farther north, but it may be worth looking into Pasco Hernando Community College, New Port Richey. They have fewer pre-reqs than St. Petersburg College and reasonable tuition for...

  15. Studying tips for those with ADHD (and no prescription meds)

    scrapworking replied to caffeineRx's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think I may have ADD too, but I just started seeing someone who is labeling it Anxiety. We'll see. Her suggestion r/t massive quantities of information is to break up study times in chunks...45...

  16. Ages of male nursing students?

    scrapworking replied to Stearnsy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My boyfriend is 46 y/o and will be 47 y/o when he finishes his LPN course. In his class of 24, there are 2 other guys. One is in his mid-30's, and the other is maybe 40. This will be a third career...

  17. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    scrapworking replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    Great stories! Have spent way too much time reading them ALL...but so worth it. My Mom was a nurse (heck, my Mom's whole side of the family was/is in the medical field), so I'm sure she's got some...

  18. Teas test prep

    scrapworking replied to SmilesNoir's topic in Florida Nursing

    This should be good for awhile, I uploaded it to my 4shared account (which doesn't have limits on d/l): http://www.4shared.com/file/147970430/3b78f2e0/NursingSchoolentrance.html I'd definitely read...

  19. Nursing School Assistance

    scrapworking replied to Dcrane's topic in Florida Nursing

    To answer your original question, here are some of the reputable schools that are not expensive in the area (I live in Clearwater): pTech for LPN program that will not break the bank (no pre-reqs)...

  20. Not sure if nursing is for me

    scrapworking replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Something you may want to look into...my college (as I'm sure many others do) offers on-line classes that you can take from anywhere. (http://www.spcollege.edu is their website) For example, the A...

  21. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    scrapworking replied to JoeyDog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it's in my blood too (I'd also be 3rd generation!) though I'd always dismissed it. Not that anyone ever discouraged me, it just didn't seem to be "my thing". After careers in...

  22. Everyone Starting Nursing Courses Fall 2010

    scrapworking replied to guiltysins's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Seems like it's still a ways off - probably because of the course load I'll have next semester finishing my pre-reqs, but I'll be applying in March (hoping to hear before the start of summer) as well...

  23. Not sure if nursing is for me

    scrapworking replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with a previous poster...on the mental toughness part. If the teacher won't teach you, then you're going to have to "outsmart" her and learn it on your own. And when it comes time to do your...

  24. Taking prereqs and applying spring 2010 for fall 2010

    scrapworking replied to AccelCNL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, both schools use a selective process for admission and are clear upfront that GPA is weighted heavily (one school gave me the actual %) and tell you what the last class that was selected GPA...

  25. Taking prereqs and applying spring 2010 for fall 2010

    scrapworking replied to AccelCNL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, this is actually coming up pretty quick! Fall semester is half over and everything's on track so far. I changed out Speech and Statistics, and just finished the accelerated course so I can now...
