If you're going to work for HCA I'd say the lesser of two evils is Mercy hospital.

They have a huge ICU. It's split into 4 sections. CICU, SICU, MICU, TICU. They also have a step down IMCU type unit you have to float to that sucks. All the patients are in contact and airborne precautions but the rooms are curtained. They're not the...

Well, if you can handle insufficient training, large patient load, unsafe environment, and lies about the job and contract and training, you should be fine. I walked into that mess with no clue how bad it was and I felt sorry for the patients that th...

Wow! Either your nursing school experience sucked or your preceptorship was awesome. I had the opposite experiences. I felt like the training program took away from what I learned in nursing school and that the people teaching were not up to date. I ...

As soon as you start the onboarding with Healthtrust.

Hopefully everyone had great StaRN experiences wherever they went. Mine was awful. Kendall Regional is the worst hospital I have ever been in. I would never go there as a patient. It's the only HCA hospital I have been inside and the last HCA hospita...

I graduated from west coast university last fall. They are an excellent program. Definitely will become a name here in south Florida. The teas isn't hard. You can get a scholarship based on your scores. So study and do your best. The program is expen...

If it takes your payment you failed. If it won't let you complete the registration you passed.

A tip my dean gave me was to use a study schedule. Today study fundamentals, tomorrow study intro to professional nursing, the next day study fundamentals, and so on. That really helped me to juggle everything.

This site won't let me private message. Well, nursing school is hard and there will be disgruntled students. Usually students who fail become disgruntled. You will need to study hard. Nursing is not for everyone which is why some cannot make it throu...

I just saw your message in my inbox but I cannot reply. What did you choose to do? I just graduated from West Cost University and it was the best decision I've ever made. Was able to participate in their Oxford Honors international Program, graduated...

Hi I saw your message but the site will not allow me to reply. I attended Miami campus and it was a great experience. Tuition is less in Miami because income is less. So I was able to cover costs of tuition with my federal grants, loans and a school ...

It's a great school! It is just as hard as any nursing program and we do most of our clinicals in the local baptist hospitals. I graduate next year. I have been in the program for a year now and I really like it.

It is very hard to get into Barry. They have a strict admission process so your statement about accepting students with an imperfect record is not true. I am a student at west coast university and they did not have a strict admission requirements whe...

Are you sure you want to go to Kaplan? Honestly after my experience with them I would say, "Run for your life!" I'm still trying to get my money back after they lost accreditation and closed. Consider all your options before you choose them.

That sucks. They have some scholarships if you qualify. I qualified for 20k from my teas score. They've worked with me a lot. I don't know how costly universities are in CA but I wouldn't have been able to afford it there.

Hi! Sorry you've been going through that. I am going into my sophomore year at west coast and they've been pretty good. The student handbook says we might have an exit exam. We don't have exit exams after each term like some schools do. We do ATI, no...

The school is on probation and I am getting out. My grades are good but advising told me that 1 year would cost 10k and it has cost me 20k for 1 year. So for 40k to finish and find out my hard work is not worth the paper it's printed on??? I might as...

I hope you didn't do it.... Try Barry University, or Nova, or FIU. Anywhere BUT Kaplan....

For all who are thinking of doing Kaplan's ADN online program.... I am currently enrolled and regret it. It's a new program that is on probation because their students have a hard time passing the NCLEX. Basically you are teaching yourself. It's onli...

The test isn't bad. Know your basic math, fractions, percentages, algebra. The reading was a piece of cake. The writing I didn't do well though I scored into honors English at MDC. My problem with that was that whole section was awful. The written pi...
