Has anyone applied or been accepted to Barry University for this fall? I was conditionally accepted (I have to take a theology course), and I'm looking to meet potential fellow classmates!

Hi, I'm really interested in working in the emergency department. I'm about to graduate from a BSN program and currently doing my preceptorship in a Pediatric ER. It seems to me that the nurses that work in peds ER only float to the general peds...

Thanks for all the replies! Its going to be hard enough to find a job as a new grad, I'll prob have to take whatever they have. Just trying to decide how to write my cover letter to the regional hospitals with separate ERs. I'd take either ER but wou...

Hasn't really hit me, YET. I start August 23rd. Still have some time to enjoy my summer and not think about all the stressful school work coming up!

you should find out within a few weeks whether you get accepted!

okay QUESTION. i'm going to nursing school soon too. i'm pretty worried about feces. mostly the smell, but i think the sight will get to me too. other things i think i'd be totally fine with. my question is, what HAPPENS if you have these so called "...

Nurses sure get paid a lot to just give hugs!

Hey! thats great! I'm originally from NJ but have been living in Boston for 6 years. Florida is gonna be a big change! How about you?

Don't feed the trolls! That's my advice.

I see. Thanks for the info!

From what I've read on this forum, you will be performing a LOT of catheterizations in student clinicals.

I found out more about the clinical locations at Barry. They actually have clinical sites ALL over the Miami area such as aventura hospital, Mount Sinai, Jackson Memorial and many more but not the southern area of Miami. so you get a lot of differen...

I'm pre-nursing so I don't know exactly what a bed bath entails, but do you have to bathe eachother's private parts and such (in lab)?

One note about math. While nursing may only require 7th or 8th grade level math, the prereq courses may require a lot higher level, such as chemistry. Just keep that in mind too.

I am young so I'll give a young person's opinion. I was bullied in middle school and constantly called "retarded" among other things. I was very smart, but it was just a word people used. I feel like my generation uses the word as something complete...

Gosh, this thread is depressing. I can't believe people actually get away with this stuff. Any who, to the OP, I feel bad you are in the middle of it (because you knowing about it does put you in the middle of it). I myself am sometimes a timid pers...

well said Capricorn :yelclap:

I have nursing fundamentals demystified. It's meh. I'm getting health assessment made incredibly easy soon so I'll see how that is.

I've been feeling the same way as the OP recently. I'm moving across the country and broke up with my boyfriend to go get my nursing degree. I know I really want to be a nurse, but will all this be worth it? I hope so! I know I'll love it. And I kno...

I have a similar belief system. I've been dealt some hard hands that seem so unfair, but years later I realize just how important those mishaps were! Without them I would not be the same person I am today. I am so glad for some of those set backs bec...

I'm starting June 4th =D! good luck to everyone!

ahh! that makes perfect sense. the only place that could be more expensive is somewhere in california!

I'm also going to CNA school before nursing school too. In my area, there's a CNA training course from the American red cross. They have two options. One is about 4ish weeks, Mon-friday, 9-4pm. You can also do nights 5-10pm, monday, wed, thurs. for ...

Sbrinia06, You have to take an English assessment test, which includes grammar, reading comprehension, and writing a short essay. If you don't pass, it doesn't mean you don't get in. You just have to take a remedial course or something like that...

Before going to nursing school I had a previous degree in a similar field. I was wondering if you can use a paper you wrote from a previous class and use it in a nursing school class. The paper I wrote that I want to use is online, so a plagiarism c...
