  1. Want to keep my pride. . . Please Advise

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to SweetBabyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I think kah5209 makes a really good point. Maybe your DON is testing you to see if you are proactive and will ask for the position. Maybe he totally has you in mind for the position but wants you to...

  2. Pinning Ceremony Uniform for Guys??

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to gwlarson's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If you want to wear "orderly" type clothes (white button down shirt with matching white pants) I can make the following suggestion. I volunteer at the local hospital and our dress code states that we...

  4. UCF Cocoa

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to KnightRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    > that's so funny because i have the same reaction to any new email in my inbox. that instantaneous thought that "this is it", a quick intake of breath, and then the realization that someone wants...

  5. UCF Cocoa

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to KnightRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    This is getting ridiculous! I guess they really are going to wait until Sept. 1 to let us know. I just don't get it because last year, everybody would have known two weeks ago (2nd week in August)...

  6. UCF Cocoa

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to KnightRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Glad at least that I'm not the only one anxiously waiting to hear. I really figured that we'd hear this week. A group of nursing applicants on allnurses last year found out the first week of August...

  7. Pt beats another to death at one of our clinical sites - Unsafe for students???

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to rad sugar's topic in Florida Nursing

    If I were you, I would be skeptical of this facility and always be on your highest alert. What frightens me about this incident is that the facility failed to notify the police that there had been an...

  8. UCF students/grads, opinion please?

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to displacedfloridian's topic in Florida Nursing

    mollyann78920, thanks for providing such good information about your program and the experience so far. I wish more people would provide similar information about the program that they're in so those...

  9. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your coworker is looking at the situation too simplistically! If all things were equal, then her point would be valid - society's investment in a younger nursing student would provide more return...

  10. UCF Cocoa

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to KnightRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yikes, I can't even imagine going to school full time! I'm worried about where I'm going to find the time to study as it is. I don't know what the schedule is going to be like - I just imagine that...

  11. New Grad in ER with unsafe practice - Advice please?

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to R!XTER's topic in Emergency

    My only advice is to be VERY TACTFUL in how you ask your question about unsafe practice. Try to avoid saying that it's heresay and and if necessary reference your research. The last thing you want...

  12. Did you wait long?

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to Lilli-Anna's topic in General Students

    I'm in Florida and the local community college and the nearby state university do not have waiting lists that carry over from semester to semester. If you don't get in this year, then you have to...

  13. UCF Cocoa

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to KnightRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Nurse2be10, I was told that the last class that will start in Orlando this fall cut off at a number in the 70s. Not very specific. We can't compare to last year's cut-off number for Cocoa because...

  14. UCF Cocoa

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to KnightRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Cathkol, How did you do on the TEAS? Talk about waiting till the last minute! I hope you did well. Well, our applications are in and all we can do now is wait for the email. The criteria isn't...

  15. UCF Cocoa

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to KnightRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm also going to be applying to UCF/ Cocoa this summer for January admission. Does anyone know the latest scoop on how they are going to calculate the admission criteria? I've been to 3...

  16. New Nursing Student

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to sj73201's topic in General Nursing

    Hi SJ73201, I'm curious what the name of the documentary was that you watched that renewed your enthusiasm. It sounds great - many of us could probably use it from time to time. Congrats on...

  17. ADN versus Second Degree BSN with non-nursing degree

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to future123's topic in General Nursing

    I think the key here is that if your goal truly is a career in nursing - there are many ways to join. Each college has different admission criteria. Some will look at your cummulative GPA and others...

  18. Age Issues and The Modern Male Nurse

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to Rocky09's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I need to agree with many of the posters who say to look past the age issue ....... OK, I've already changed my mind. Stop thinking about it as a disability / disadvantage and start considering it...

  19. How to tell if nursing is for me?

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs replied to bigcanoe's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think I know what you're going through. I'm just a few years older than you and in nearly the same boat. I think it's harder for men to feel sure that nursing is a suitable career - especially at...

  20. Any views on University of Central Florida @ Cocoa?

    LocoCocoaStudentNurs posted a topic in General Students

    Hello everyone, I'm new here but I'll do my best to be clear .... and concise. I'm nearing the completion of my pre-reqs and anticipating my application in 6 more months - finally! A study partner...
