    FLDoula replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Students

    1) August 22 2) FL 3) ADN 4) Life happens....nursing school is stressful... learn to roll with it. Ditch the extraneous stressers that try to grenade you. AND practice NCLEX questions every day!...

    FLDoula replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

  4. Reality hit

    FLDoula replied to oklahomagal's topic in General Students

    FLDoula replied to patiently-waiting's topic in General Students

    FLDoula replied to kluinstra's topic in General Students

  7. Questions regarding immunizations for nursing school...

    FLDoula replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    FLDoula replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Nutrition is a pre-req (used to be a co-req until this semester) at our CC for an ADN. I took it last semester and it's a pretty involved science class but I really enjoyed it. I would say a lot would...

    FLDoula replied to NickieW's topic in Florida Nursing

  16. Math!!!!! Urgent....

    FLDoula replied to Cari Turner21's topic in General Students

    It would probably depend on which two math classes they are. Some are pre-reqs for others. Are you talking about taking them at the same time or taking accelerated

  17. Math!!!!! Urgent....

    FLDoula replied to ADPIE1's topic in General Students

  22. Do you like the uniforms they give you for your school?

  23. Does it matter where you get your student malpractice insurance?

    FLDoula replied to WDW4ever's topic in General Students

  24. Should I get Varicella titer, MMR titer, Flu shot, Tdap shot in one day??

    FLDoula replied to karenonp's topic in General Students

    I don't see why you could not have them done in the same day. The titers are a blood draw, the others are vaccines...as has been point out. The military gives several different shots in one day to...
