    gatormommy replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ooops..........that must be just me. When I become an RN, I'm keepin' my calico dress and floppy

  2. Tough skin with a side order of a grain of salt please?

    gatormommy replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Two cents on the spin-off topic: To have balance we need the 'calico dresses/floppy hats' and the Nurse Ratcheds. It just seems that as of late, there are an abundance of Ratcheds. Does everyone just...

  3. feeling frustrated by AN posts and second guessing myself

    gatormommy replied to jlpsu's topic in General Nursing

    OP-I'm so sorry you have been made to feel like you have to defend yourself when that was not your intention at all. I see this happening a lot on this forum, there are a lot of 'Nurse Racheds' here....

  4. feeling frustrated by AN posts and second guessing myself

    gatormommy replied to jlpsu's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't recommend the CNA route, what if you decide it's not for you and you want more, besides your mother was a nurse for 40 yrs. I would go for RN. I made the decision to start an ASN program...

  5. It could be coming another round of medicaid/medicare cuts

    gatormommy replied to drmorton2b's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    i believe that a national healthcare system is distribution of wealth, through taxation; when all the money runs out there will be sub-par services. the all-inspiring german healthcare system has run...

  6. The Oversensitive... Vent!

    gatormommy replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    I personally feel that if you wouldn't say something to someone's face you shouldn't say it online. In one of the threads that's being talked about, I got 'roasted', as it were. To be honest my posts...

    gatormommy replied to drmorton2b's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    @MickeyTong- Great quote. A 'republic' is how it was supposed to be. Each state was supposed to be governed independently, by governors. The Federal Governent's only job was to protect us from...

    gatormommy replied to drmorton2b's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There can only be two outcomes to the current debt distaster: we either keep going down our current path and eventually become a socialist country with sup-par healthcare and have our freedoms taken...

    gatormommy replied to LittleBirdie's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm enjoying the calm before the storm. The fam is going camping at the Disney campground before school starts. To make it relaxing we are not going to the parks. We did that last time and I had to...

    gatormommy replied to LittleBirdie's topic in Florida Nursing

    Cool! I didn't know that. I had already gone to the health clinic in Alachua. My titers only cost me $27 though. It took two weeks to get the results back, but today I had my physical and dropped...

    Congrats Casie:yelclap: If the July 11th class doesn't work out try SFC. They offer some classes that start at 5:45pm. I got certified there and my instructor was awesome. We were only there for 3...

    Hi krw1920 and congrats!! I thought this was an awesome idea too. I've tried to communicate with nursing students who got in last year to no avail. I guess you get too busy for questions. The...

    gatormommy replied to LittleBirdie's topic in Florida Nursing

    This is copied from our 'Welcome Letter.' It sounds like our vaccines need to be done before 7/18. I think this letter supercedes the handbook especially since it's not the current one. That's why I...

    gatormommy replied to LittleBirdie's topic in Florida Nursing

    I called the health science office and they told me that you just had to start the series by 7/18. I think the handbook says you have to be through the second shot before school

    gatormommy replied to LittleBirdie's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Kortney and Congrats!!!!! I'm stressed as well, I think we all are. I feel that 5 wks to get all this stuff done is very stressful. I guess there's a reason though, just think if you were one of...

    gatormommy replied to LittleBirdie's topic in Florida Nursing

    akwak33- one of the forms i printed out states that we need proof of cpr prior to 7/18. I think that the two page health form is all we need. I might call and ask, but I've already made my quota of...

    Tara, did you sign up for a CPR class? I signed up @ SFC on 6/28. I just wanted to get it out of the way and the earlier classes were already

    Hi Lauren! I think you have to get bloodwork done if you don't have proof of your vaccines. I'm getting blood work done today at the Health Clinic in Alachua, it will cost $27. I don't know where my...

    gatormommy replied to LittleBirdie's topic in Florida Nursing

    I just noticed that the costs of almost everything, in the imformation packet, are way off. CPR is ~$55, the background check is $91, Hep B shots are ~$188 for the series, and I looked up the isbn #...
