  1. FSCJ Spring 2012 Hopeful w/???s

    michele742 replied to lindsayk28's topic in Florida Nursing

    Seriously? My NAT was nothing like what you describe. The first part was every other question nonverbal shapes (you know, this is to that... as that is to this). Word problems only for the other...

  2. Refusing to do a surgery?

    michele742 replied to michele742's topic in Operating Room

    Not sure? Maybe just a second part of the procedure to scrape out the old cells..not sure about that. I'll spare the details as relayed to me, as to not offend. This is information that makes me...

  3. Refusing to do a surgery?

    michele742 replied to michele742's topic in Operating Room

    Thank you ORoxyO :) If an emergent situation, I don't have as much of an issue with it, you know? It would be sad but in an emergent situation I could buck up and deal with it and be there for the...

  4. FSCJ Spring 2012 Hopeful w/???s

    michele742 replied to lindsayk28's topic in Florida Nursing

    I hope so! I agree...the waiting is just NERVE WRACKING!!! I'm super busy with work and the kiddos, but I still have this in the back of my head...we are all in limbo until that little letter with the...

  5. FSCJ Spring 2012 Hopeful w/???s

    michele742 replied to lindsayk28's topic in Florida Nursing

    I hope not! Would be nice, like you said, to have a little bit of time to gather things we will need. I'm guessing they will start sending the info. mid November? I would think before Thanksgiving....

  6. Nursing school now... Or wait indefinitely.

    michele742 replied to AmyLooV's topic in General Students

    Since you don't plan on putting a great deal of time into nursing after school, I would wait. Grow your family and focus on paying off your debts. Having said that, I was slated to go to nursing...

  7. Applying to Nursing School

    michele742 replied to k8telynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been married almost 19 years. I am 37 years old. I was married at 18 but we didn't have our first child until I was 29. Every decision we have made has been made together. Neither one of us...

  9. FSCJ Spring 2012 Hopeful w/???s

    michele742 replied to lindsayk28's topic in Florida Nursing

    I had to giggle because this thread has become awfully quiet since the deadline has passed. I am trying to keep busy working out, working full time, taking care of my three kiddos, but I would be...

  10. How do you study with a baby?!?

    michele742 replied to mrsb04's topic in General Students

    This is ABSOLUTELY the truth. I have three children 7, 4, and 2...it is MUCH easier getting things done when you have more than one child,

  11. How do you study with a baby?!?

    michele742 replied to mrsb04's topic in General Students

    HAHA!! well, wait till you experience the joys of Caillou and his nonstop whiny voice :) You will be BEGGING for the 'Fresh Beats." Good luck to

  12. How do you study with a baby?!?

    michele742 replied to mrsb04's topic in General Students

    This is your first baby? :) My babies are 2, 4, and 7. I am not in nursing school yet, but I work 6 days a week (at home as a medical transcriptionist), and have done this through my pre-reqs/AA ....

  13. Head Lice,Head Lice, Head Lice

    michele742 replied to lissaq10's topic in School

    Just a mom of three here...perhaps suggest they put 'tea tree oil' in their shampoo and conditioners or buy some special repellent shampoo (Lil Docs has a brand...of course, once they are lice free)....

  14. Just how difficult is nursing school?

    michele742 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi all! :) I am applying to the nursing program for Jan. FSCJ 2012. I was just curious as to just how difficult the nursing program normally is. I'm not scared of the time I would have to put in...

  15. Just how difficult is nursing school?

    michele742 replied to michele742's topic in General Students

    Oh how fun!! A fellow medical transcriptionist :) Well, hello there! What area do you specialize in? I started with ER (history and physicals), postoperative notes, clinic notes, physical therapy,...

  16. Just how difficult is nursing school?

    michele742 replied to michele742's topic in General Students

    Great information!!! Thanks ladies and gents :) I'm kind of doing what I did when I was pregnant with my first child...read as many horror stories as possible to desensitize myself so that when the...

  17. Why are students going into LPN programs?

    michele742 replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    I think the OP has a legit question. Maybe a list of pros and cons? Pros = gain valuable experience before entering an RN program, great pay while continuing one's education, normally shorter time to...

  18. Failing Nursing School(Life Story)

    michele742 replied to louis345's topic in General Students

    Well, I'm not in nursing school yet and I keep hearing the same things over and over again...NCLEX question style. Know it, learn it. The battle to any curriculum/class is knowing how to study and...

  19. What attributes do you need as a OR nurse

    michele742 replied to dinhm17's topic in Operating Room

    I totally figured out a solution to a long surgery :) Or, if one has bladder issues but wants to work in the OR anyway...what about "Depends?" Hey, I know it might seem strange, but I would TOTALLY...

  20. Fustrated New Grad

    michele742 replied to usRNs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, it sounds like you are all doing what you need to. It is pretty bad in some areas, depending on where you live. I know in some places like California they are letting new 2-year grads go...

  21. Fustrated New Grad

    michele742 replied to usRNs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    First of all, I will note that I am not even in nursing school yet. I applied, but won't find out for a few weeks. Having said that, I know many friends who are nurses. One of my friends works at...

  22. FSCJ Spring 2012 Hopeful w/???s

    michele742 replied to lindsayk28's topic in Florida Nursing

    For sure Enigma! :) I'm with you on that...3 kids (2, 4, 7) and would love to get N/W program so I don't have to do daycare for my youngest. But, whatever works :) When I dropped off my...

  23. FSCJ Spring 2012 Hopeful w/???s

    michele742 replied to lindsayk28's topic in Florida Nursing

    I was told from one of the program directors that it was 199.00 for this past fall term, if that helps

  24. FSCJ Spring 2012 Hopeful w/???s

    michele742 replied to lindsayk28's topic in Florida Nursing

    Looks correct to me :) As long as you took your "raw data" score numbers and not the % from the NAT, everything works out like you have it from what I see. That is scary to think that they calculated...

  25. HIPAA violation or not?

    michele742 replied to 2bRN4u's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I am not a nurse...yet...but I am a medical transcriptionist and I am held to HIPAA rules/regulations. I send emails to doctors, notes to technologists, etc., and the only information I am not...
