  1. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    TheLastTime replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    And FL BON confirms that I passed. One of three conclusions: 1. This is one hell of a coincidence. 2. The data supporting the PVT is skewed as allnurses.com readers are at a skill level to pass the...

  3. Looking for info about UCF's program

    TheLastTime replied to swarner5's topic in Florida Nursing

    I graduated from the Accelerated program in August 2010. My overall impression of the program was positive. Stress level was high for most of us which was a switch for me as my stressometer usually...

  6. Question for the fellas....

    TheLastTime replied to RNYC's topic in Men in Nursing

    I would have told them "Because Allied Van Lines isn't hiring". The interviews for new nurses are largely a personality/likability test in my experience. The team wants to see if you're a person...

  8. Want to start a scrubs store...help!!

    TheLastTime replied to jrock17's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Are you looking to be a bricks and mortar shop, an online shop, or a combination? Both have their benefits and limitations. For the record I shop at an online site because none of the local shops seem...

  9. Jobs not being advertised?

    TheLastTime replied to ConsideringNursing79's topic in General Nursing

    Jobs not being advertised is hardly a phenomena limited to nursing. For the three jobs I interviewed for, one was not advertised at all and the other was advertised for an experienced nurse (I was a...

  10. Other jobs for BSN with revoked license?

    TheLastTime replied to MIZtigersZOU's topic in Nursing Career

    Life/health/disability insurance underwriter comes to mind. They may work with the loss of license if the offense wasn't too

  11. Is it sexist....

    TheLastTime replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Men in Nursing

    Instead of whining about sexism, I believe in the team concept of "to each according to their own abilities". I use my strength as a bartering chip. I lift the heavy freight and kill the spiders in...

  12. UCF Nursing

    TheLastTime replied to vccorscc's topic in Florida Nursing

    Read my earlier post in this thread. My scenario in 2009 was similar to yours - right down to the age. UCF College of Nursing: Been There, Graduated That.

  13. Men's Shoes

    TheLastTime replied to DC Collins's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I read a previous thread that recommended walking shoes over other varieties. To that end I purchased two pairs of New Balance shoes; the 845 and the 927. Both required virtually no break-in period...

  14. UCF Nursing

    TheLastTime replied to vccorscc's topic in Florida Nursing

    Overall GPA is important; however, prereq GPA is critical. My overall GPA is 3.3 from my previous major. My prereq GPA is 4.0. I applied for the Accelerated class of 2010 which had over 300 applicants...

  15. ASN OR BSN FIRST?

    TheLastTime replied to pnmia10's topic in General Nursing

    This.

  16. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    TheLastTime replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Experienced nurses won't have an employment problem regardless of their degree status. While most of the descriptions state "BSN preferred", good non-BSNers won't be passed up. New nurses are having...

  17. What's the deal with all the "New Grad" job listings, but nobody can find a job?

    TheLastTime replied to rene76's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated in August 2010 with zero medical work experience. Here in FL there are plenty of job openings - for experienced nurses. How I was able to break through the Catch-22 was through direct...

  18. No jobs in florida for new grads

    TheLastTime replied to pmeeksSN's topic in Florida Nursing

    It took a month and interviews with three separate hospitals; however, I got a job offer today. What worked for me was going beyond the "send resume and pray" approach that online applications can...

  19. UCF Accelerated BSN 2011-2012

    TheLastTime replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

    From my experience with this program, I noted that there seemed to be more emphasis placed on prerequisite grades rather than GPA in the previous major. They also do take into account the degree of...

  20. Accelerated Programs

    TheLastTime replied to Ennis08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my case, the college looked much more closely at the prerequisites I had taken in the previous few months than they did at my first Bachelor's courses from years back. My first Bachelors GPA is...

  21. Previous Bachelors degree going into nursing - do I need a BSN or just an ADN?

    TheLastTime replied to k.ronning's topic in General Nursing

    I faced this two years ago. The Associates and Bachelors were almost equal in duration (about 15 months). It was also a wash in terms of prerequisites required. I went ahead and got the BSN. Right now...

  22. Anyone a new grad working at FLorida Hospital or Orlando Health?

    TheLastTime replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    As for other Central Florida choices, does anyone know what starting pay is at Health Central or the HCA hospitals (Central FL Regional and Osceola
