  1. NCLEX application question

    AlaBro2010 replied to outdoorsRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would also think it just means the citation amount. Best bet is to ask like previous poster said

  2. Took NCLEX in August..want to share my experience

    AlaBro2010 replied to nurseGi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Totally agree!! I almost lost it a few times but I told myself "breathe in and out, relax!" And kept going. I took 2 hours to just do 75 questions haha. Congratulations!! Doesn't it feel

  3. If you could pick your ideal job in nursing, what would it be?

    AlaBro2010 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    This!! Maybe we can share ideas

  4. Tampa Bay RN help

    AlaBro2010 replied to AlaBro2010's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't mind at all. That's actually one of my top picks to work :) patiently waiting for the new grad position to open up. Should I call them? Would that be better instead of applying online? I have...

  5. NCLEX RN December!!

    AlaBro2010 replied to rizmei's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Lippincott for what I felt I needed some extra help in also but my main focus was Saunders. I did feel it was too easy but I felt it was worth seeing the content over and over. I also peeked...

  6. NCLEX RN December!!

    AlaBro2010 replied to rizmei's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with this, definitely take it slow! I took up 2 hours for the 75 questions. I also studied Saunders front to back and studied 2-5 hours for almost 3 months everyday. Like I said, if you know...

  7. Hillsborough Community College Spring 2013

    AlaBro2010 replied to Rachanee's topic in Florida Nursing

    Some hospitals will only hire new BSN nurses that is true. Some do hire ADN nurses though . In the tough market, I can see why a BSN would help, I've been turned down many times because I only have...

  8. Hillsborough Community College Spring 2013

    AlaBro2010 replied to Rachanee's topic in Florida Nursing

    I highly suggest doing so. I had a phone interview and that's one of the main points the recruiter kept making, why hire me (a new ADN nurse) with prior CNA experience over someone with recent CNA...

  9. Cheating in the Classroom

    AlaBro2010 replied to meatballgirl's topic in General Students

    Maybe she has a test bank or knows where the professor gets her/his tests from. That's a possibility. I left it alone when I saw it. If I openly saw it, I'm sure my professor did too and chose to...

  10. MIchigan or Florida?

    AlaBro2010 replied to somenurse's topic in Retired Nurses

    With your experience, you should be able to get a position here in FL. From what I've been told and experienced, the Tampa Bay Area is tough for jobs. I had a recruiter tell me unless you've got six...

  11. NR449- Evidence Based Practice

    AlaBro2010 replied to Emilynn09's topic in Chamberlain College

    What I normally do is look into my local colleges library page and see what they have under nursing. Sometimes even the local library. For example my school I can go to their site and click on...

  12. NCLEX RN December!!

    AlaBro2010 replied to rizmei's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I always told myself as long as I review and feel what I'm doing is enough, forget the percentages you get. As long as you know you prepared, go in with confidence and give it your best shot. I...

    AlaBro2010 replied to 88nursinglove88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  14. Tampa Bay RN help

    AlaBro2010 replied to AlaBro2010's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have an apartment here in Tampa. Thank you for taking the time to reply. I recently applied to a few positions open to new grads and didn't get one clinical nurse resident position but I just...

  15. Can a teacher do this?

    AlaBro2010 replied to Dezy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hardly ever had study guides or even looked at my professors notes. I looked and studied the entire chapters that would be covered on the test. Like someone else mentioned, definitely study it...

  16. My teacher hates me....

    AlaBro2010 replied to francoml's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If you feel she is getting out of hand and you've tried speaking to her, ask an advisor or the dean. Although I really didn't want to, I did have to meet with the Dean when my professor completely...

  17. Tampa, FL Hospitals: HELP!

    AlaBro2010 replied to rachel3332's topic in Florida Nursing

    We are in the same boat. I started applying out of sate recently. FH Tampa doesn't have the best reputation, lets say a relative works there and will not let me apply to any RN positions. I've...

  18. Don't know whether to become RN or Surgical Tech

    AlaBro2010 replied to D2Bpeds's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you had to choose between RN or surgical tech. Definitely go for RN. A friend of mine was a surgical tech at a VERY nice hospital and now he's on his way to becoming an RN. Although, I mentioned to...

  19. Puerto Rico school feedback - thread #2

    AlaBro2010 replied to WorldTravelingYogi's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I applied to both online. You can see what they require for general admission on the inter website (check English trimester page). From what I understand, entrance requirements are still the same...

  20. Puerto Rico school feedback - thread #2

    AlaBro2010 replied to WorldTravelingYogi's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I didn't rent an apartment so I can't tell you. Maybe someone else can reply. I did have money saved, not much but I did. There's always problems with Financial Aid; they lose documents you already...

  21. "Proof of employment"? for Florida RN license by endorsement?

    AlaBro2010 replied to somenurse's topic in Florida Nursing

    You don't need it if you did take the NCLEX. You would only need to fill out the form if you are from somewhere that has a different licensing exam (like Puerto Rico) and you can get your RN license...

  22. "Proof of employment"? for Florida RN license by endorsement?

    AlaBro2010 replied to somenurse's topic in Florida Nursing

    Did you take the NCLEX? Where is your original license from? I endorsed to Florida with a Wisconsin RN license without a problem (no experience but I did take the

  23. Hillsborough Community College Spring 2013

    AlaBro2010 replied to Rachanee's topic in Florida Nursing

    Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I keep up with the FL nursing program forum and I saw that accident too! I live behind LA Fitness too. I saw the first ambulances and fire trucks that came...

  24. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    AlaBro2010 replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I had an interview yesterday and totally blew it. Ive been searching for two months doing at least 25 applications a day. The interview was so awkward, the rest of the time I was praying it would end...

  25. Heads Up: Only Hiring Nursing Grads from NLNAC or CCNE Accredited Programs

    AlaBro2010 replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    That's unfortunate but that's usually how it
