  2. Woo Hoo. Go Gators! Yes, a lot of the "clinical coordinators", as UF calls them, have MSNs but I know many working as CRCs for the uni who don't even have their certifications let alone master's...
  3. Gainesville ?'s

    Yes, I have been here about 10 years now and the traffic has changed quite a it. I definitely takes a good half hour or more to get from downtown to, lets say, the oaks mall. Then again that is...
  4. MSN Programs in Gainesville area?

    The only online program that UF offers now is the PHN track and that is only 80%
  5. Mercy medical center

    Mercy is very close to Mt Vernon like someone else said. You definitely wouldn't need a car (especially since parking is impossible). I remember the guards at Mercy would walk me back to my apt...
  6. I think that the advance education is great but not necessary to get good jobs in research. You already have over two years of experience. It would be more beneficial to find someplace to "re-wet...

  9. Pre-employment physical

    I have never had a pre-employment physical that included a blood draw. I don't think that I would ever agree to that though. Urine drug screens, yes, blood, no. These physicals should only be...

  12. Agency Nurse doesn't know how to start IVs?

    Same here. I also went to a top school where we were not permitted to learn this skill. They told us that MD law prohibits unlicensed personnel from doing these kind of procedures. I also learned...
  13. High school student needs advice!!

    Schools like Hopkins are great for graduate education and second degrees. If you have the cash to burn you would be hard pressed to find a better nursing school. On the other hand, if you aren't...

    I believe Trendelenburg is the proper bed position for a patient with a suspected air
  20. Heart Attack Grill (20/20 ABC show)

    I am personally not that offended. Its not like nursing is the only occupation to receive this kind of attention. After all, we have naughty librarians, police officers, housewives, teachers and so...
  21. Research Nurse Coordinator???

    I am jealous of whoever said they work 9-5. I am in Phase I research which is a very different animal from Phase II-IV. When we have studies in house we are there 6 or 7 days of the week. The pay...
  22. Anybody attend UF accelerated?

    I was in your same boat a few years ago. I lived in Gainesville at the time and thought about attending UF's acc. program but since it was in its first year I declined. Speaking to some of my...

  25. Hopkins loves their Cali students. They also have a lot of folks who are really into L&D. Sounds like it might be a good fit. They accept around 150 students into their program so you...
