Remember that FSU has an ABSN. You can complete a degree (one that you enjoy more than biology) and apply to the advanced program. It only adds one more year, and you're ahead a year so it works nicely. I would recommend talking to their advisors abo...

From what I can see on the application, FSU does not require TEAS for freshmen or transfers. The online application for transfers only asks for your basic information and to list your academic history (just the name of school, dates of attendance, a...

I'm going to bump this super old thread. I am considering applying to FSU for 2013. It appears their rules have changed dramatically since this thread began. They do not require HESI. They allow mostly freshmen and the program starts once a year. ...

I looked at Galen about a year and a half ago and I was quite impressed. I wish I would have started the program then, because I would’ve been close to done by now! I’m going to take the PAX-PN at Galen tomorrow. I took the TEAS at Erwin and score...

Sorry. That sucks. Since the course is not required for you, might think of dropping the course. In the professor's defense, you knew you were going to have to dissect things and you probably should've dropped the class after getting the syllabu...

Do you want to do a bridge from LPN to RN and get credit for those LPN courses? There are some schools [i'm in Florida] that require an LPN to work full time for one year in order to do the LPN-RN bridge. Otherwise, you just do the straight RN prog...

Hi there! So I plan to start an evening LPN program in August, while still working during the day. I work until 3:30 p.m. and my REGULAR schedule does not interfere with my plans to go to nursing school. However, sometimes I have to travel for mee...

August 2011 is NOT that far away. Considering you have 4 kids & the classes are only a few weeks long, I don't think it's a good idea to take all the classes in one go. Remember, it's not just about taking the classes... it's about getting A's ...

Here are the Florida requirements: Eligibility Requirements : refer to sections 464.008 and 464.009, Florida Statutes (F.S.) and Rules 64B9-3.002 and 3.008, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). Graduate of a practical nursing program or a register...

Definitely keep track of your time in the math section. I am a very speedy test taker and I finished the math section with only seconds left. All of the above advice is really helpful. I totally had the same test that ^ the people above took. I to...

First off, everything you need to know is here: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/CFCsAndCoPs/13_ESRD.asp Conditions for Coverage are the requirements set forth that you MUST maintain in order to keep your facility's Medicare number/certification. Click on th...

I will be sending off my paperwork to challenge the CNA in Florida. Beforehand, I'm taking a CNA "crash course" that is 7 hours. Eeek!

In Florida, it is not required to have a formal education as a CNA to challenge the state licensing exam. However, I would say it's strongly recommended to take some CNA training before challenging the exam. Just personally, I would think after a f...

Do you have any volunteer work? Check out your local Red Cross or United Way to see if there are any volunteer opportunities at a local hospital or nursing home. Maybe your CNA instructor can write you a letter of recommendation?

All the open positions I've seen require the nurse be BILINGUAL (I know, it sucks!). Maybe that's why you haven't had much luck yet? Do you speak Spanish?

Most Florida public school's credits will transfer to each other because they are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. If your school is NOT accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, your credits may ...

Hi! I'm in Tampa! I have not heard of anything from T&C but good luck!!! Did you like it when you had clinicals there?

You still turned in THREE other applications. Be proud of yourself!!!

Actually, that is really good to know. I am hoping to start Erwin's evening LPN program. I was scared because I thought I'd be the oldest person there!

I would say to absolutely list how your work experience will help you be a better nurse! I am in a similar boat with my current career and family situatuation. My career is not directly medical related but I feel it gives me a strong and UNIQUE bac...

There really isn't. Just remember "Do no harm." If everything is well intended, I don't foresee any ethical issues in providing appropriate treatment. All hospitals have social workers who can help you answer this question. If you mean to ask how...

I got on their website and asked for more information. The guy who called me back was extremely helpful. I would definitely say to call if you want to know more. They weren't pressuring me or anything. I just couldn't attend their school because ...
