    Edison State College Applying for 2010

    Stcroix replied to humblecutie's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi SRN. It is important to get good grades as well as doing most (if not all) pre and co- requisites. Your GPA and the # of the 8 courses you have taken is added to a point system. I was told...

    Were you a Teacher at college and now a nurse? Did you think of being a teacher?

    Stcroix replied to Sophiamez's topic in General Nursing

    I earned a PhD in a life science quite some time ago. I did some teaching/ research at a state university up north. The starting pay was less than what the average high school teacher made at the...

    Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

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

    I read somewhere not too long ago that when one looks back on life, it is not the things that we did that we regret, but the things we didn't. I think there is some wisdom there. I was recently...

    Teas Test

    Stcroix replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry to say there is no focus to the exam. You will get general science questions, bio, A&P, and even earth science. I remember only like 2 earth science questions, but be familiar with plate...

    Pre-nursing student in need of advising on a few things plz

    Stcroix replied to TG14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am afraid I must agree with Texas. With a 3.0 you would have a poor chance of getting into a competitive based brogram. If you can find a 'wait list' based program then I would go for it. They...

    Stcroix replied to patricia0809's topic in Florida Nursing

    Stcroix replied to esunada's topic in General Nursing

    Can I make a suggestion? Practice 'exit talk' whenever you expect a follow up call. Before you leave an interview (or whatever) ask something like, "Thanks for the opportunity, if I don't hear from...

    Want to fit in with people? Get a copy of a classic book, Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People. It may be over 50 years old, but people haven't changed that much. Basically, it...
