  1. Would you pass... or

    sherilyn321 replied to RN9742's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say call back and reschedule with a different admissions representative. I think most private school admissions representatives work on commission and have to reach a certain goal of how many...

  2. How do you handle the smells and control your gag reflex?

    sherilyn321 replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    My entire childhood, my father had a colostomy. THE PUTRID SMELL, oh dear. You actually DO get used to it. This sounds stupid, but try menthol chapstick. Lots of it. Always keep it in your...

  6. Hillsborough Community College - Transcript Requests

    sherilyn321 replied to Gator Girl 2000's topic in Florida Nursing

  7. future nurse looking for job healthcare

    sherilyn321 replied to carlarenee02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you talked to any of your teachers about them making a recommendation for you? My experience has been that employers usually interview someone only when they come recommended by someone they...

  8. Is there any LPN programs in Tampa Fl

    sherilyn321 replied to Trainer29's topic in Florida Nursing

    I didn't know about Gulf Coast College. I'll have to look at that one, too. I also looked at St. Pete College and PTEC (Pinellas Tech Ed Centers). Galen looks GREAT but I don't know if I'll be able...

  9. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2010

    sherilyn321 replied to ceedeee's topic in Florida Nursing

    kmangirl: sounds like you need some yoga and a hot cup of soothing tea and maybe a bubble bath. Actually, I've been having nightmares and generally not-good sleeping patterns since deciding to go to...

  10. Dialysis center Business?

    sherilyn321 replied to jtanga's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Whew. Don't forget about being licensed by Medicare. You're basically starting up a mini-hospital, for all intents and purposes. Maybe think about a general

  11. Freaking out!

    sherilyn321 replied to StudentNurseEP's topic in General Students

    I've heard this advice from SO many other people. Thank

  12. Has masters and pre reqs....

    sherilyn321 replied to WifesAfutureRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a master's degree but I can't do the accelerated BSN (or any BSN for that matter) because I work full time during the day. There are NO evening BSN programs anywhere remotely near me. Usually...

  14. Is there any LPN programs in Tampa Fl

    sherilyn321 replied to Trainer29's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi! Absolutely there are lots of options. Check out Erwin Tech, Keiser College, or Galen school of nursing. Are you looking for a day or evening program? Erwin is a public school (vo-tech) but...

  15. New grad jobs? Tampa-St Pete area

    sherilyn321 replied to TPA_CW_Shelley's topic in Florida Nursing

    I agree with TPA CW Shelley. Might look at other non-hospital options for jobs. Think maybe a rehab facility, nursing home, or out patient clinic? Good

  16. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2010

    sherilyn321 replied to ceedeee's topic in Florida Nursing

    I love this thread! I won't have any pre-reqs done for a while but I plan on starting A&P this summer at HCC. I hope to apply for the evening/weekend program at the Dale Mabry campus next year...

  17. Rethinking pursuing current degree instead of Nursing

    sherilyn321 replied to CowboyBoots's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My undergrad degree is in History (Florida State University, c/o 2002/2005). TRUST ME, it's absolutely USELESS. I worked for state government for years and most of the jobs don't even require a...

  18. Trying to get into Dialyis with no luck so far

    sherilyn321 replied to bobo0078's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    If you're trying to get on with a large dialysis organization, then most likely they're only going to hire a nurse with dialysis experience. I know the new federal regulations require the...

  19. Has anyone seen a pt involuntarily discharged???

    sherilyn321 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    The new CMS requirements are stricter on the reasons for involuntary discharges. A physician can do it easier, but facilities have to notify the ESRD Network. Are you just looking for what you can...

  20. St. Petersburg - Galen College of Nursing

    sherilyn321 replied to LFalcon's topic in Florida Nursing

    The new Galen campus is amazing. And I'm not even a student (well, yet). The entrance exam is based from the book "Review Guide for the LPN/LVN Pre-Entrance Exam" from the National League of...

  21. PTEC St. Pete vs. Galen Tampa Bay...Driving myself crazy!

    sherilyn321 replied to mandamarie29's topic in Florida Nursing

    I wanted to say that I'm in a similar situation. My top choices are Galen and Erwin Tech. This morning I sat down and wrote a "pros and cons" list for each program. Galen is expensive. Erwin is...
