1. Bruise or ecchymosis?

   kanders10 replied to SneakySnake's topic in Geriatric

   Yeah it's the same thing. Some bruises can be classified as either petechia, purpura or ecchymosis based on the size and dispersion of it, although they may be caused by different things. I think a lot of people are easily confused by all the termino...

   kanders10 replied to iridium54's topic in Florida

   Also, they're working on magnet status. I don't think it's a huge deal that they aren't at that level yet; but they are definitely working to get there.

   Congrats on your acceptance!! I'm currently in the accelerated program at UM right now going into my final semester - woo hoo! It's going to be a very long, hard, rigorous year but is definitely worth it in the end (I hope!) Overall I like the progra...

7. Accelerated BSN, how much did it cost you

   kanders10 replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I was planning to go to an out of state school. So it was cheaper for me to go to a private university than a public one out of state.

   kanders10 replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm at the University of Miami. The ABSN is $39,000 for 12 months, but it's a private university so it's a bit pricey! But if you're looking to go out of state (as I did) it ends up being cheaper :)

9. University of Miami Accelerated BSN - Class of 2011

   kanders10 replied to ~Tinkerbell~'s topic in Florida

   I've heard the program is amazing. The professors are really great (from what I hear) and you get plenty of clinical time.. Clinicals are 2 days a week, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the first semester. Of course we need to cram a lot in, but the way tha...

    kanders10 replied to NeedsInfo's topic in General Nursing

    There's also direct entry master's programs for those with previous degrees, but that just depends on if you want to be an NP or not.

    kanders10 replied to NeedsInfo's topic in General Nursing

    You should definitely get a bachelor's...with jobs being far and few between for new grads, you need any advantage you should get. You should really check into an accelerated/second degree program - it's for people who have a previous degree. I'm act...

    kanders10 replied to ~Tinkerbell~'s topic in Florida

    Also, from what I have heard from all the other people in the program, downtown Miami is going to be the most affordable. Brickell is a good area, but it's also more expensive, and Coral Gables is a rip off. So I think I'm going to try to focus more ...
