  1. PHCC Fall 2011 RN/LPN ROLL CALL!!!!!!

    Isiah4031 replied to tinkkey04's topic in Florida Nursing

    Keep your finger crossed and wait on the LPN letters. That program is no joke...and you'd still graduate the same time as those getting into the RN program if you do the transition. Also...you'll have...

  2. HCC Nursing Program Spring 2012

    Isiah4031 replied to Bital's topic in Florida Nursing

    I applied last year at this time and got my letter for the program in late-September. The contact person's name is M.F. She informed me the school enters all the prereqs into a computer and it ranks...

  3. PHCC Fall 2011 RN/LPN ROLL CALL!!!!!!

    Isiah4031 replied to tinkkey04's topic in Florida Nursing

    Tinkkey...I would recommend doing the CNA as you wait on letters. For starters, it'll keep you busy and give you a leg-up on some other applicants. Second, once school starts, you won't have a lot of...

  4. PHCC Fall 2011 RN/LPN ROLL CALL!!!!!!

    Isiah4031 replied to tinkkey04's topic in Florida Nursing

    Whoever thinks the admissions criteria is any way based on who you know is not accurate. I'm a year through and can vouch that NO PROFESSORS are in any way involved in the admissions process. No...

  5. PHCC Fall 2011 RN/LPN ROLL CALL!!!!!!

    Isiah4031 replied to tinkkey04's topic in Florida Nursing

    Bartonbunch... I applied and got into both and selected Generic RN. However, the LPN should not be taken lightly. I know a TON very intelligent and highly-motivated people who thought they were taking...

  6. PHCC Fall 2011 RN/LPN ROLL CALL!!!!!!

    Isiah4031 replied to tinkkey04's topic in Florida Nursing

    Best of luck! I was in the same spot as you this time last year! I was blessed enough to get in and had an awesome first year with the teachers and classmates I had. I know there are a couple in the...

  7. Any SPC/PHCC Fall 2011 Hopefuls?

    Isiah4031 replied to tinkkey04's topic in Florida Nursing

    Nekaw- great job on the test score! Admissions is a tricky thing. It's all dependent on each semesters applicant pool and the three factors going into it (GPA, TEAS, and county residence). I got into...

  8. PHCC Fall 2010 (LPN/BRIDGE/RN)

    Isiah4031 replied to FLbrowneyedgirl's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey guys...that book in the Bookstores that say it's required for NUR1021C (Fundamentals for Generic Program) is Davis' Comprehensive Handbook and is available in a 3-Pack on Amazon with our Taber's...

    Isiah4031 replied to FLbrowneyedgirl's topic in Florida Nursing

    FYI...In regards to ordering "bundles" off amazon.com...I found an even better package!! It includes the Fundamentals Text, Study Guide, and Mosby's DVD 3.0. All for $149.06. The only question is is...

  11. PHCC Fall 2010 (LPN/BRIDGE/RN)

    Isiah4031 replied to FLbrowneyedgirl's topic in Florida Nursing

    Jenn, I found the package. It saves about $20-30 if you buy them together as opposed to $80 for the book and $70-80 for the DVD. I guess I'll return my book and exchange it. ARE YOU SURE THE PACKAGE...

  12. PHCC Fall 2010 (LPN/BRIDGE/RN)

    Isiah4031 replied to FLbrowneyedgirl's topic in Florida Nursing

    I got the 8 books off amazon for $310. However, still missing: Lab Kit Course Manual Clickers Mosby's DVD 3 ebooks (are these the cd's included with our books??) ATI code If anyone knows how, where,...

  13. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2010

    Isiah4031 replied to ceedeee's topic in Florida Nursing

    Look into MBT's...Walking Company sells them. Podiatrists actually send patients in to get these shoe's for foot, leg, and back problems. They can be pricey if not on sale, but SKETCHERS COPIED THEM...

  14. PHCC Fall 2010 (LPN/BRIDGE/RN)

    Isiah4031 replied to FLbrowneyedgirl's topic in Florida Nursing

    It was fun indeed. We'll need some frequent hang outs or get-togethers near whatever campus we're assigned to. Hope everyone else had a good time too. Can't wait until orientation. Have a good...

  15. PHCC Fall 2010 (LPN/BRIDGE/RN)

    Isiah4031 replied to FLbrowneyedgirl's topic in Florida Nursing

    No one will accept an entirely online based course. If some of the videos or reading material are online, maybe. But, after staffing nurses for 2 1/2 years, no facility (and thus the college) ever...

  16. PHCC Fall 2010 (LPN/BRIDGE/RN)

    Isiah4031 replied to FLbrowneyedgirl's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yaz...no need for pressure. As I said above, titers normally take just a couple days. Stethoscopes can be purchased at any uniform store. See you tomorrow night. And, don't speed on your way there

  17. Roll call: Hillsborough Community College Spring 2011

    Isiah4031 replied to kristykat's topic in Florida Nursing

    Studenthope...I have some advice from one stressed student to another. ALWAYS apply to multiple programs if you can. We live in a large enough area where you can have several possible acceptances into...

  18. PHCC Fall 2010 (LPN/BRIDGE/RN)

    Isiah4031 replied to FLbrowneyedgirl's topic in Florida Nursing

    Evansmum...get the titers done since your shots were so recent. The prices the health dept. gave you were for vaccines...which you surely don't need. Get the titers...they're much cheaper ($55.78...

  19. PHCC Fall 2010 (LPN/BRIDGE/RN)

    Isiah4031 replied to FLbrowneyedgirl's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yaz, I got my physician to sign off on my physical after showing him I got all those required shots/titers. I just see the Dcotor's Walk-in sign everyday since I live near one. Hwy. 54 and County Line...

  20. PHCC Fall 2010 (LPN/BRIDGE/RN)

    Isiah4031 replied to FLbrowneyedgirl's topic in Florida Nursing

    MJ...it all depends on who your provider is, if there is an office visit copay, and if the vaccine/titer is "deductible waived." My general physician wanted a heck of a lot more money and would have...

  21. PHCC Fall 2010 (LPN/BRIDGE/RN)

    Isiah4031 replied to FLbrowneyedgirl's topic in Florida Nursing

    FYI guys...Pasco health Dept. with clinic locations charges $33 for MMR titers and are back WITHIN 48 HOURS. Varicella titers are $22.78 and TB Skin Tests are $20. Physicals are $63 (WAYYYY to much)...

  22. PHCC Fall 2010 (LPN/BRIDGE/RN)

    Isiah4031 replied to FLbrowneyedgirl's topic in Florida Nursing

    How about someone get there early and see if we can get a table or area for 10-12??? That way when someone walks in, they just ask and know where to go. I live by Wiregrass, so it wouldn't be a prob...

  23. OFFICIAL Fall 2010 PHCC accepted LPN/Bridge/RN students!

    Isiah4031 replied to Chris99mu's topic in Florida Nursing

    Chris...I'm married too, so I guess it all comes out alright. Personally, I think it'd be funny if I'm the only guy in our class. When we show up, everyone should walk in with a post-it note on their...

    Isiah4031 replied to Chris99mu's topic in Florida Nursing

    Saturday Brass Tap works for me. However, from the looks of things, I may be the only guy there. Everyone I've seen post on this thread, to my knowledge, is a woman. Roll

  25. OFFICIAL Fall 2010 PHCC accepted LPN/Bridge/RN students!

    Isiah4031 replied to Chris99mu's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just got all the books on Amazon. Went to this site: Evolve to check out the "Pageburst ebooks," and each of the three "Access Codes" are $59.95. I'm going to wait and see if we even NEED these codes...
