  1. Florida Board of Nursing

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Nathalie's topic in Florida Nursing

    My CC (in Florida) isn't that great either. I think that (along with the waiting list the size of a telephone book) is the main reason they went to a point system as the entrance criteria instead of...

  2. What are your favorite "school supplies"

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to SDNurseWannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love the new retractable highlighters...no cap to keep track of

  3. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to ashfost's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think you may have answered your own question,

  4. Ethics Issue: Would you report cheating

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to AllieRat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. If you don't actually see anything, it's only speculation. It would be unfair, even if you were right. Perhaps an anonymous note to your professor to be vigilant because it is possible...

  5. Hooray-got my summer grades back!

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to AnnaN5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is exactly what I did while waiting. The wait was frustrating, but at least I felt like I was making progress. Now, when I'm ready to go into an RN-BSN program I will most likely alredy have...

  6. VERY NERVOUS ABOUT A&P 1

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to brandyl123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great advice! I found the physiology part to be much more difficult, but once you put it all together, it makes sense. Also, don't worry about your natural science aptitude in relation to nursing...

  7. 8/06 not 1/06-Any BrowardCC students out there?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to hellooonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here is a link to the NLN's website, with general infor about the test: http://www.nln.org/testprods/preadmin/GeneralInfo/paxrngeneralinfo.htm If you are in the group being considered for January,...

  8. 2 yr waiting list. What to do until then? Ideas?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Goodyear's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, instructors are in short supply. Clinical space is also an issue. No matter how many instructors you have, you have to have somewhere to place the students in

  9. 2 yr waiting list. What to do until then? Ideas?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Goodyear's topic in General Nursing

    While I was waiting, I took all of the additional requirements for an RN-BSN or RN-MSN down the road. That way, I won't need additional classes for those

  10. $30,000 for nsg school tuition????

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to hope3456's topic in General Nursing

    Nathalie, Is that need-based as well, or strictly based on GPA? Wow, I could have gotten in to Barry over a year ago, but I just assumed it was too expensive. Live and learn, I guess, right?

  11. What would you think...

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    Another dentophobe here! I can have blood drawn, IVs started...I even watch. But dental work . Just talking about it can bring me to tears! We all have our issues...don't

  12. What do patients say that irks you?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You probably won't see this for a while, but congratulations! I'm really happy for you! And, to your

  13. how did you pay the bills during school? Hubby freaking out!

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to marcieg's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what the situation is like in other areas, but here in Florida, most hospitals offer nursing scholarships in exchange for a commitment to work there after you graduate. Unless you are...

  14. Getting Organized Before Starting School

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Katydidit34's topic in General Students

    These are great! I can definitely learn a thing or two from both of them.

  15. Getting Organized Before Starting School

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Katydidit34's topic in General Students

    Most of this has already been said, but the most important things for me are: 1. Lunches, clothes, backpacks, etc. for ALL of us ready the night before. Also, table is set for the kids' breakfast,...

  16. Dell Axim x50 or Tungsten T5? Handhelds, PDA's

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to skislalom's topic in General Nursing

    You can buy memory cards or memory sticks, depending on what your model takes. Mine takes memory sticks and I just bought a 512Mb for about $55. The Secure Digital (SD) cards are even

  17. How many times did you apply?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to JessVanDyke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I only applied once, but I had to wait a year and a half to get in. The Jan '06 class is actually the last one at my school that it will work that way for. From now on, if you don't get in one year,...

  18. What does it take to become a clinical instructor?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to NYCRN16's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, we have several clinical instructors who have only a BSN. They are not full-time faculty, but adjunct

  19. What do patients say that irks you?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh, I did that, too. I had an unmedicated delivery with a very painful (and, in my opinion, unnecessary) episiotomy, and the next day told my nurse, "I can't believe ANYONE would do this twice." I...

  20. Weeding out of nursing students

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    It happens in every profession...including the one I just left. I'd feel sorry for them if they didn't tick me off so

  21. 8/06 not 1/06-Any BrowardCC students out there?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to hellooonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you've been around that long, we may have had classes together! Feel free to pm

  22. 8/06 not 1/06-Any BrowardCC students out there?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to hellooonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me, Me, Me!!!!! I'm starting at BCC in August. Trust me, I understand your frustration. What's even more frustrating is that if your app was a month sooner you most likely would have been this...

  23. Is it possible to be born with two uteruses?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to wannabenursetx's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had a neighbor growing up who was born with 1 kidney and 2 uteruses (or, is it

  24. Micro and A&P online?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to GirlCalledJack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P I&II online, Micro in class. I got A's in all of them, so it is definitely doable if you're dedicated. I personally enjoy being in a classroom more, but the labs will help with...

  25. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    I agree. I wasn't certain about recording lectures, and I usually take pretty good notes. This might be just the ticket. Plus, you're reviewing your notes as you're recording them. Too bad I only...
