Hi, I graduated from FIU but in 06' so I have no exact, up-to-date information for you but since no one's replied I figured I'd tell you what I experienced. You almost answered your own question...you may have to wait (I applied for spring but didn't...

At my level III NICU we're both trained to do it (UAC or PAL). They get their gases and we get our labs. Usually try and coordinate draws so we break into the line as little as possible. The RTs are the ones who start PALs. MD/ARNP/Transport RNs can ...

http://chua2.fiu.edu/Nursing/GENERIC%20BSN%20PROGRAM/UGGenericPoints.htm FIU requires the NET. The required GPA is 3.0 UM's is 2.8. Barry is 2.7. Nova is 2.75. MDC's is 2.0.

http://www.doh.state.fl.us/mqa/nursing/nur_consumer.html At the bottom of the page there are scores for 03-04. I don't know how to get more updated results. For exmaple, I go to FIU but our NCLEX scores for the last few semesters have been in the 90'...

I go to a public university in Florida and I pay around $5,000 a year.

I'm a junior. I'm in the second semester of the 5 semester program. Right now I have my class schedule like so: Monday from 2-4:45 Tuesday from 2-4:45 Wednesday from 8-12 Thursday: Hospital rotation from 3-9 Friday: Hospital rotation from 3-9 Only ad...

I'm at FIU right now myself. But I don't have a previous bachelor degree so I can't do an accelerated program. I just wanted to mention that Barry also has an accelerated program that starts evry May. Good luck! :)

I have a Dell Axim, too. I'm a little bad though because I downloaded trial versions of a buncha stuff. Then I got a keygenerator to fully unlock them. So basically it was free. Hehe! I'm rather naughty, eh? It's a bit annyoing that these programs ...

Med/Surg Med/Surg clinical (Th & F from 3-9) Pharm Patho I heard this is the hardest semester. I already have a test on Wednesday in Med/Surg, wish me luck! :stone

Yeah I just took mine on Friday. I'm second semester and it wasn't that bad. They do the 90% or above thing, too. You get three tries and have to do tutorial/remidial work also. If you fail three times then you have to drop the clnical. I had a hard ...

I bring this cute Jansport Even if I am just bringing one book I take it in this. It's so easy

Wow. I'm an Ash and my boyfriend is Poplar. Many many things are true. Very weird. :chuckle

:chuckle

Hmm, none of my nursing professors are listed. At the end of each semester we do professor evaluations and those are available to us online, so oh well. This is neat and thanks for sharing. I'll keep checking for other professors. :)

Meningococcal C conjugate vaccine? That's all I could find. :zzzzz

I sometimes go to sleep thinking about various nursing topics and I find that when I wake up in the morning I didn't get a wink of sleep. All I remember is sleepily thinking about those topics. It's weird and annoying because I don't come to a nice "...

I was told that you are not supposed to rub the area after a heprine shot.

First check: Check the MAR for drug name, dosage, frequency, route, and expiration date for adminstering the order. Second check: After preparing the meds, recheck each one (label on the container, too) with the MAR Third check: After placing all med...

I just took my med math exam today. We are not allowed to use calculators. Many in the class didn't even finish the test. That is pretty scary because how difficult is it to divide and multiply? :uhoh21: I think not using calculators is good. Being d...

My nursing school required me to take statistics. I thought it was super easy and therefore was the best math class I ever took :chuckle I'm only in my first semester of nursing, but I have run into some statistical realted terms already but it's no...

I think a lot of nursing schools in the area do. At FIU we had one there for Fundamentals. Also, UM goes there (obviously) What other hospitals does Barry do clinicals at? I'm wondering how many other schools I might get to see once I start at my cli...

I just started my first semester a few weeks ago. It is not that it is hard, it's just a lot to take in. I am finding that modifying my study habits before class started was one of the best things I've done. So far I am doing good, kept up in pretty...

I am not sure that it "picks" people to take 265 questions. It was my understanding that you will keep getting questions until you pass, or until there is not possible way you can pass. Once you get to 75, the following happens: If you are clearly a...

I haven't had that problem yet, but I expect it to happen. We've only has 2 quizes, but our first test in fundamentals is on wednesday. Our professor already mentioned to us not to do that, though. She said to tell anyone asking that it isn't any of ...
