    flimfly replied to TopCat1234's topic in Florida Nursing

    Your tuition will include all of your books, 2 uniforms, supplies (stethoscope, pen light, etc.), malpractice insurance, and graduation cap/gown (you have to return the cap/gown back to the school)....

    flimfly replied to TopCat1234's topic in Florida Nursing

    It's very difficult to answer your question. For starters (and again I only speak from personal experience), you're too busy to sit down and reflect on how much you enjoyed a class/clinical. The goal...

    I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree a bit with you. I was offered 2 out of state jobs, one of which was offered to me several weeks before I graduated and the other 2 weeks after I graduated....

    flimfly replied to TopCat1234's topic in Florida Nursing

    My first bit of advice is to refrain from using the term "medical". Medical refers to doctors, and Remington will take points of your papers for using that term. Doctors follow the medical model, and...

    flimfly replied to TopCat1234's topic in Florida Nursing

    I recommend calling the school to get a definite answer. I can only give you my personal experience. For me, the first half of 1st quarter was 8-5 M-F. I started clinicals the second half of the 1st...

    What is it you want to know? It's a real school, accredited, and you'll be a RN in 12 months. They do a good job preparing you to become a nurse. I was able to get a great job out of state even before...

    Hey akwildone, I'm a graduate of Remington, class of January 2012. It was a busy, tough, and stressful year. Thankfully, I don't have any kids, but some of my classmates did and they made it. You...

  11. ARMY Nurse Corps, should I apply now or next year?

    flimfly posted a topic in Government, Military

    I'm a second degree new grad RN, and I start my first job on a critical care step down unit next week. However, I really want to join the Army. My father was a nurse in the Army, and it's my goal to...

    If you're interested in a 2 bed/2.5 townhouse in Winter Springs, feel free to call or text 407-608-8141. I've lived here during my year at RCON, and it's been great. Pool, hot tub, sauna,...

  13. 2012 Nurse Residency Program at Vanderbilt

    flimfly replied to rlt0006's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I interviewed for Critical Care. Two of the three ladies were nurse managers on ICU units, which made me feel a little intimidated. I hope I get it. I showed my passion for nursing and my patients and...

    flimfly replied to rlt0006's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Just finished my interview. It was extremely intense. My nerves were shot, and by the last question I was so nervous that I think I completely missed the boat answering it. Who knows.....I hope I...

    flimfly replied to TopCat1234's topic in Florida Nursing

    Your post specifically says that employers don't know the difference and will most likely not ask. If you're having problems getting into a grad school because of Remington, that's one thing. But you...

    flimfly replied to TopCat1234's topic in Florida Nursing

    I personally know of one person in the last cohort who got hired at Florida Hospital right after passing her NCLEX several months ago. I also know several girls from previous cohorts who got hired at...

    Just thought I would offer my 2 cents.... I'm in cohort 5 (graduating this coming January). I have an interview lined up next week for a critical care nurse residency program out of state. This...

    flimfly replied to rlt0006's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    flimfly replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I'm applying for the Winter 2012 cohort as well. I have experience as a nurse tech in both mental health and med-surg, but that was over a year ago. I'm in an accelerated 12 month program in Florida...

    flimfly replied to TopCat1234's topic in Florida Nursing

    University of Florida only requires you to be a graduate from a nationally accredited program. Regional accreditation is not required. This is for their BSN-DNP program. Same for Florida State...

    flimfly replied to TopCat1234's topic in Florida Nursing

    Graduates from RCON are "real" nurses. By going to another school, you won't be anymore "real" than the rest of us. Just because they aren't regionally accredited doesn't mean you can't sit for the...

    flimfly replied to TopCat1234's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think you would be lucky to make it in 30 minutes from downtown. The traffic around here is awful, especially around rush hour. You guys are going to be on a 9-5 schedule too for the most part. We...

    If you owe them money, you can either pay them monthly or quarterly in equal installments. Call the financial aid guy up there. He's real nice and can explain how it

    By the time they get their regional accreditation, I might have recovered enough from nursing school to go back and get my master's
