  1. Practical Hairstyle?

    gatoraims RN replied to Betmig's topic in General Nursing

    Pixie cut might not be the best depending on how curly your hair is. I tried a pixie cut in LPN school and ended up having more work to straighten it or use bobby pins to pull it back. You can always...

  2. 1st semester lpn-rn program what would you do?

    gatoraims RN replied to MORO0617's topic in LPN to RN

    One of my nursing instructors told our class that it was best to not work more 24 hours a week. Are you able to cut down to part time or would they do PRN? I have not started school yet and the job I...

    Don't get down. You might get in. If any of the seats were taken by USF students or HCC then you have a good chance. Good luck to

    gatoraims RN replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    I can see where you are coming from. As a recent student (and will be doing it again soon) I had a few nurses who were just down right rude. I learned over time that with most of the nurses who...

  5. Worst potential employer experience ever!!!! Was it ok to call HR and say no thanks?

    gatoraims RN replied to SoCalRN1970's topic in General Nursing

    I might have handled it differently, in that I would have finished the "test'. But I do not think you were over reacting in reporting the rude behavior. I do not expect to have eveyone greet me when...

  11. Is it common, to not find a job?

    gatoraims RN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am really starting to get down. I was so happy when I passed my nclex pn and could finally call myself a nurse. So far out of a class of 32 we have had 28 people pass the nclex. 27 of them have...

  12. SPC spring 2012 applicants!

    gatoraims RN replied to On_the_on's topic in Florida Nursing

    From what I understood that is how it used to be. The advisor I did talk to said that the transition program allows for easier acceptance. So I guess we will see. I could be wrong in the information I...

  14. SPC spring 2012 applicants!

    gatoraims RN replied to On_the_on's topic in Florida Nursing

    I did apply for the lpn-rn bridge. I did the LPN route because I had been denied at HCC for the RN program back a few years ago. I figured this route would maybe make it easier to get accepted. Good...

    gatoraims RN replied to On_the_on's topic in Florida Nursing

    How many of you if any are doing the transition program? I am an LPN so I hope that the bridge program is not as strict. I really really want to get this chapter of my life

  16. Touching blood without gloves

    gatoraims RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I would have worn gloves. I also do not freak out when a nurse has to use non gloved fingers to find my vein as long as they re-glove prior to the

  17. Advice needed on continuing school

    gatoraims RN replied to alby_dangle's topic in General Nursing

    Are you able to work full time until you do get into the RN program? You would be making extra money and still working towards your goal. You working full time (not that working PRN wont do the same)...

    gatoraims RN replied to On_the_on's topic in Florida Nursing

    I do not think my luck of getting into the Jan class is all that great. I am still in Micro and Stats right now. So those are points that I will not get and I think I need to take speech as well. I...

  19. LPN to RN program

    gatoraims RN posted a topic in LPN to RN

    How much harder is RN school vs LPN/LVN? DO you think your education as an LPN helped with RN school? What about the NCLEX how much harder do you think the LPN Nclex was vs the RN Nclex. I am waiting...

    gatoraims RN replied to On_the_on's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am not holding out too much hope in getting in the Jan 2012 bridge class. I am in Micro and Stats right now, they said I would have a better chance when those are complete. I took Mirco at HCC and...
