    NellieOlsen replied to claudia1986's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NellieOlsen replied to diosa78's topic in General Nursing

  9. Keiser University ?

    NellieOlsen replied to KeiserRN2011's topic in Florida Nursing

    You're better off seeing an adviser at Keiser to see how long it will take. They do not always accept credits from other schools so you may have to repeat some of your pre-reqs. And that will have an...

  13. Polk State College students. Quick question..

    NellieOlsen posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Does Intro to Nursing have to be completed BEFORE applying to the nursing program? Or can I apply to the program and then take Intro to Nursing while waiting for acceptance? Thanks in advance for...

  14. Polk State College students. Quick question..

    NellieOlsen replied to NellieOlsen's topic in Florida Nursing

    Well, I talked to an adviser today. Figured I'd update here in case someone with the same question happened upon this post. You can apply to the core program at any time, but if the classes are not...

  15. Polk State College students. Quick question..

    NellieOlsen replied to NellieOlsen's topic in Florida Nursing

    NellieOlsen replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    NellieOlsen replied to Peeker19's topic in General Nursing

    If you have a smart phone, set up a calender there. Get into the habit of checking it every morning and set reminders/alarms. I have calenders everywhere. One on the fridge for the kids activities,...

  21. Balanced advice please!

    NellieOlsen replied to WhistlingNurse's topic in General Nursing

  22. Horrible Interview :((

    NellieOlsen replied to goldenstar's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Those are pretty standard interview questions. Write down your answers to the questions and read them out loud. Practice, practice, practice. Have a friend or family member do a mock interview with...

  23. Why does everyone seem to want to work L&D?

    NellieOlsen replied to IowaLPN's topic in General Nursing
