Clynn21

Non-profit in eastern pbc. Started on telemetry making $19 while on orientation (8 weeks). Then 21.40 for a year. My annual raise got me 21.80. 3.00 for weekend, 3.5 for nights. Hope this helps.

Hey all! Just wanted to add my experience here. I started the program in May 2010. Started with over 100 students at north campus and maybe 40 made it past process 1 and 2. 7 people from my original class graduated on time. I failed ortho/Neuro by 3 ...

Yes 21/hour. Nursing isn't salaried usually and they vary based on shift diffs and how much overtime you work.

for med/surg in a hospital anywhere from 21-23 base. 23 is on the high end and thats if you work for a larger corporate. Private hospitals are 19-21. This is in Palm Beach/Broward area

The market is very very tough for new grads here. West palm has a level 1 trauma center, and a few other smaller hospitals. Almost all are corporate. The pay isn't the best either. Avg 21-23 for a new grad

I am a new grad (beginning of may), passed nclex on the 6th of June and was offered my current tele position the same day. I was lucky to have worked as a nurse intern/PCA on the very same unit for a year prior. I worked as a monitor tech while I wai...

Don't take it in the summer if you are scheduled to

Then disregard.

Which campus are you on? I it's north I stick by my advice. I didn't have issues with process but I witnessed many people who needed much less than you not pass. It's not a negativity thing it's a realism thing.

My advice is to drop. It doesn't make you a failure, it saves you from failing very early in the program. A 30 is going to be way too low to compensate for. Trust me you want to save your fail for the higher level classes.

Pay attention to her lectures, and follow her notes when reading the book. Dont over study the meds, and make sure for test two and three you study the care plans (priority nursing diagnosis, interventions, etc). Keep up with your reading. I got a B ...

you may want to talk to the health science department or the financial aid office. I know they can be morons sometimes, but they can probably give you the best answer

Admission Information Here are the dates. You cannot apply until you have the grades for all your classes. As far as the HSC courses. I did them before I applied to the program. I did them through broward college. The HESI you should be completed soo...

Hey I had heard a rumor that she was going to take the summer off, may I ask where you heard this? And if in fact it is true I wouldnt take any other campus but north personally. This is coming from someone who started last summer at north. You can p...

Yes, I hear central is much harder. I wouldn't have chosen that campus of you paid me. Plus most of the classes there have 4 exams per class as opposed to 3 at north. They said there is no difference but I hear horror stories from over there. But I t...

I'm pretty sure it's about the same when you start in January or August according to friends I've talked to. I'm doing well, I'm on my second specialty 4/9 classes have been completed. I'm on the 5th. I've passed so far so I'd say I'm doing well. I t...

Starting in my is completely do-able. I got a C in process 1 and a B in process 2. I did not work. Anyone who worked with the exception of a few didn't usually pass and had to drop. The weeks are long because you have clinical tues and weds and lectu...

Hey everyone! Congrats on being accepted into the program and starting soon. I am about to start my 2nd specialty (my 5th class), and wanted to know if anyone is need of the Perry and Potter book for process 1 and 2 (good condition), the Davis Drug G...

First try and figure out what makes you nervous. Is it the teacher, is it fear of not knowing everything? There is plenty of time during your shift to sit and write yourself a mini "report". I use a small spiral notebook that is pocket sized. All the...

I am in GIGU right now also. The best tip I can give is time consuming but it works! I make a chart of the diseases or disorders we are learning- the patho, the drugs, the diagnostics, and most importantly the nursing care. I learn while I am doing i...

As far as I have heard the answer to that is no. Reason being the pharm class is already huge (having process and LPN students in it) so I don't think they would make it open to everyone for that reason.

Just be prepared that if you are applying for summer it is intense. Definitely do- able if you aren't working and have help at home. You will be taking math, pharm, clinical and process 1 at the same time for atleast 3 weeks until math is over. Then ...

My prereq gpa wasn't outstanding. I got in with 8 points though and I just passed both Process 1 and 2. The program isn't impossible. You just have to put in the time to read and listen. The biggest part is grasping the concepts and understanding WHY...

in the welcome letter it says regular clothes and bring a jacket if we are normally cold. May 17th is when north is required to wear scrubs.

I heard that at least for north you don't need the math book.
