still "under review"

I'm a dnp student in my second year in Florida. I haven't gotten any emails, and my status is "under review" and credit not checked. Efc was 0. It's at the end of August and I haven't gotten an initial email yet, at this point I've given up hope. I w...

Anyone out there did or is currently in the PMHNP track? How was your experience like, say compared to BSN education to put it in relative terms. Course load? Were you able to work part-time (I know with the foundations of advance nursing, I can't po...

I went directly from BSN to DNP. I'm just starting out now so I don't know everything will pan out. Like you I did get a C in my undergrad which was because I had absolutely no time management skills and was going through one of the toughest moments ...

I've read in UF's Alligator that UF CON has like 2.6 or 2.7 average GPA (the article's about the lower the college's gpa because the program is hard, the higher earning potential after graduation. It compared high GPA at graduation in majors like art...

Thanks for your input. I'm asking about current nursing students, not students applying to the program.

Hi! Regarding the HESI exit exam, I heard that you need at 95% to pass the HESI, is that true? So what would students in remediation do during the extra semester? thanks!

When using pain as a vital sign in the same line of temp, bp, resp, hr What if the patient only has pain when he/she uses the affected part of their body or only if it's moved. Would that still count as a pain vital sign, meaning it'll go together wi...

And there's significant increase in protein, blood, red blood cells, white blood cells, there's a small amount of hyaline cast, I think it would be Acute Tubular Necrosis because of history of perfusion of blood to kidneys. But it couldn't it be glo...

Does white blood cell in the urinalysis mean there HAS to be white blood cells in the CBC lab results as well? Or can there be ONLY be presence of WBC in the urine which would only mean infection in the kidneys.

sorry, I meant will WBC increase in the lab CBC?

I have a 40 something male patient who's main complaint is cardio debility, anemia and risk of bleeding. What does cardio debility even mean. I searched in my books and online and all I came up with online was weakness related to impaired function. ...

would reduce cardiac function be a clinical manifestations say, heart failure or coronary artery disease. or would it be more like murmurs is a clinical manifestations of valve regurgitation.

I came to the conclusion that the MRSA caused endocarditis --> valve dysfunction --> CHF, CAD --> cardiac debility even after surgery.

I'm thinking the MRSA bacteria caused the endocarditis. But I don't know if he has coronary artery disease and congestive heart failure before or after the endocarditis. it would be endocarditis. Could CAD be cause by damaged to the artery by MRSA? ...

From ccconline.org CHE111 How was your experience? How hard is the subject compared to live class (did having it online make it harder). Who was your professor? How was the home lab? I'm worried~~ Thanks!

@K722 I have a friend who's stying in a student apartment close to UF with great bus routes. There are 4 rooms in the apartment but only 2 are occupied right now. If you like, I could talk to her and see if her landlord is still taking people in. She...

thanks so much for the advice. I hear what you say a lot at other places, so although people are saying it's hard to keep a job while in nursing at UF, i want to work as a LPN. Do you think that would be helpful? Or what kind of specific part time sh...

I got in, I don't know how but I did :) I got my mail last week (Friday, I think) But I was really stressed at the beginning of the week when I got my rejection for UCF and was crying my heart out at work since that's where I was all day. Anyways, I...

@nursingfall2011 Thanks for replying to sohopeful27 :)

I'm so nervous. I've heard that decisions are usually out early June but my transcript isn't processed into the UF system yet! Are any of you guys transferring credits from another school or out of state? And how long did it take? Any ideas to speed ...

It's from ccconline.org CHE 111. I'm worried since I wasn't good at high school chemistry. Also, everyone tells me online chemistry is harder and colleges don't like it (I'm at the University of Florida---very picky college). Who was your professor? ...

I would take CHE 102 but they don't offer that this spring session II and I have to get chemistry done by this semester Thank you so much for the detailed review. I feel like I have a general idea of how it'll be like. I'm assuming the lectures are ...

I want to apply to nursing for this coming Fall 2011 so I have to finish Chemistry (chem for nursing or general chem 1 without lab) by this Spring. It's too late to register at my college so I want to do online class. But it'll have to something self...
