  1. Applying to SCF/USF nursing and so discouraged

    BeagleBabe posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm so ready to give up. I have been working on pre-req classes for over a year now. Now that I will be finishing ALL of them (including the BSN pre-reqs!) with a good GPA (only 1 B/all A's in nursing...

  2. Questions about SCF's ASN program, or USF BSN

    BeagleBabe posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi, I'm trying to decide which path to nursing is the best for me. I have a BS in teaching. I can take a bunch of classes and apply for an acclerated BSN at USF (this would be the shortest way to a...

  3. Passed Statistics with an A-

    BeagleBabe replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! That was my least-favorite pre-req!!! I also go an A, only because my professor spoon-fed us what we needed for the tests, I don't understand the concepts at

  4. Left Nursing After 3 Months and Couldn't Be Happier!

    BeagleBabe replied to sweetgeorgia's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well Sweetgeorgia, I sincerely hope teaching will be better for you than it was for me. I'm quitting teaching after 5 years to go into an ABSN program. I also had 12 hours days, only I worked them 5...

  5. Just graduated from LPN, how soon should I start RN bridge?

    BeagleBabe replied to yolandalpn's topic in LPN to RN

    Why does a bridge cost 30K? That's crazy. SCF in Bradenton will have a weekend bridge starting soon, and I'm sure it won't cost 30K. I can't imagine spenting a total of 55K on an associate's degree. I...

  6. Professionals or "workers"

    BeagleBabe replied to blackribbon's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    These posts are depressing to me. I'm a pre-nursing student, and on leave from my teaching job. You guys have all the same complaints about nursing as I do about teaching, and I was hoping nursing was...

  7. Should Healthcare Be Funded As A Basic Human Right?

    BeagleBabe replied to jayp's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Our current system is idiotic, penny-wise and pound foolish. I am an unemployed, uninsured pre-nursing student. I could get COBRA from my old job at a cost of $545 a month. Since I am unemployed, I...

  8. University of Maine at Fort Kent

    BeagleBabe replied to KEMD's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have a reply for you, but I'm thinking of applying there. How is the program? Would you mind sharing your stats? Did you take all of the recommended

  9. Nasty Parents and This Opportunity to Vent

    BeagleBabe replied to bleemadden's topic in School

    Jolie: how can you state that children with lice shouldn't be sent home? Don't you think they will spread lice in the classroom through hugging, sharing hairbrushes, lice getting on the carpet and...

  10. Obesity and Nursing

    BeagleBabe replied to Traci G's topic in General Nursing

    What determines "healthy"? A good BMI? I am obese on my bmi, but I am obese due to lean muscle mass (133 pounds of it to be exact!). Being able to run a marathon? There are plenty of skinny people who...

  11. Moving to FL--Stuart or Bradenton area?

    BeagleBabe replied to RachNichole's topic in Florida Nursing

    Bradenton is crime-infested and gang-infested. Sarasota is much nicer and safer. Check city-data.com for the cities you want to move to. It has great information and message boards about each town....

  12. Do retakes on courses make nursing school applicants look bad? HELP!

    BeagleBabe replied to kayjam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It totally depends on your school. One school I looked at wrote on their website that they would not consider applicants with a "pattern of W's" on their transcript. Two others I'm applying to will...

  13. Taking A&P I and Nutrition

    BeagleBabe replied to happyland's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have to take nutrition now? I'm taking it with A&P 2, and it's a breeze since it basically reviews everything (minus body parts) from A&P 1 and some horomone stuff we just did in...

  14. College Algebra ughh

    BeagleBabe replied to beckyboo1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Where do you get that 10,000 number? I'm sure I haven't done my stats or algebra problems 10,000 times, and I learned the

  15. College Algebra ughh

    BeagleBabe replied to beckyboo1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I passed algebra in high school with a C, but didn't learn a thing. When I got to my CC, I started at the bottom, like the other posters suggested to you. My CC offered pre-algebra (thankfully I...

  16. Questions about SCF's ASN program, or USF BSN

    BeagleBabe replied to BeagleBabe's topic in Florida Nursing

    Legacy: I will be applying to USF and FGCU for BSN programs this February. I decided to take the time to do all the BSN pre-req's. Now I just hope it wasn't all for nothing! If I don't get in, I'm...

  17. Applying to SCF/USF nursing and so discouraged

    BeagleBabe replied to BeagleBabe's topic in Florida Nursing

    [COLOR=#003366]Gengelha- I'm still going to apply to USF, I just never expected it to be so hyper-competitive. And I'm not wasting $1,000 on a CNA I'll never use, so I can't apply to SCF now. There's...

  18. Do strict uniform policies convey professionalism and promote happiness in patients?

    BeagleBabe replied to victoriachojnacky's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Merlee: no white please! Please remember those of us who suffer from heavy flow! I'm crossing my fingers to get into the nursing school that has navy blue scrubs: it's that big of a deal to me....

  19. BSN Salary/Hourly Pay?

    BeagleBabe posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hello, I just read on another thread that if you get your BSN, you are paid a salary instead of hourly pay. Is this accurate? I have to choose between an ASN and a BSN, and this could make the choice...

  20. NP vs. PT/OT

    BeagleBabe replied to gonzo83's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm sorry I can't help you, but I'm also considering OT. Hopefully bumping this post up will get some

  21. Questions about SCF's ASN program, or USF BSN

    BeagleBabe replied to BeagleBabe's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks for the info. Since I already have a BA, I'm also thinking about applying to FGCU's occupational thearpy program. I'm not sure what direction I'm going in. I'll just apply everywhere and see...

  22. Prospective State College of Florida (Manatee) ADN Students

    BeagleBabe replied to corsair's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks, corsair. I've heard about the 4.0 too. Glad to hear it doesn't have to be that high, especially since they don't let you retake a course for a higher

  23. Prospective State College of Florida (Manatee) ADN Students

    BeagleBabe replied to corsair's topic in Florida Nursing

    When you guys are talking about GPA, do you mean science/nursing pre-req GPA, or overall in every

  24. State College of Florida (MCC) or Edison State College

    BeagleBabe replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Florida Nursing

    I've heard Edison is not accredited. Ask them tough questions before you enroll. I also want to get into SCF. If I don't make the cut, I'm planning to BSN at USF or LPN from SCTI and then do SCF for...

  25. Upstate demand for RN or RRT?

    BeagleBabe posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hi, I'm about to make a career change from teaching into nursing or respiratory thearpy. My ultimate goal is to return to upstate NY or maybe Vermont (I'm stuck in FL right now). I'm leaning towards...
