Career advice please. I have interviews for two different jobs. One is for a Nurse Liaison for a reputable Acute Rehab Hospital, the other is for a hospital case manager position. I have been a case manager before, but I have never worked as a nurse ...

Thank you for the responses. The liaison position I am seeking would not require much travel as I would be stationed at one hospital. I'm not worried about the sales aspect that much either. I am curious if liaisons get bonuses based on marketing ef...

I suppose whether pay is better or worse than bedside nursing may depend on a few factors. What I mean is an experienced bedside nurse (5+ years lets say) who works weekends, evenings, holidays, overtime, ect. makes much more than a brand new nurse w...

Not sure about specific FNP practice regulations, but I have lived in both Tampa and Jax. Housing in Tampa is more costly, but the beaches and the weather are much nicer. Also, it seems there is much more to do in Tampa.

I will be a new grad nurse with my BSN in a couple of weeks. Formerly I spent 15 years as a high school English teacher. I am highly interested in eventually becoming a case manager. I have excellent communication and writing skills, I am good on the...

I took it today and some medications had both names, others had just one name.

Try Sanibel Scrubs. They are not too pricey and fit my plus size curves well. The fabric also has a little stretch to it.

I am a nursing student that just got hired as a PCA at a large inner city hospital. I will be doing shift work for the first time ever. Any advice on how to get used to nights, 12 hour shifts, float pool, and everything else you wish you would have k...

I will be full time over the summer and then drop down to part time when classes resume in the fall. I am in the float pool so I could be assigned just about anywhere. Shifts are 7 to 7. I have no problems with coffee (never liked the taste), but I w...

One of our nursing school instructors established a relationship with the HR guy at a large city hospital here in Florida. So far they have hired 4 of us and the HR guy has asked her for more students. Maybe ask at your instructors for help.

Well the instructor emailed me back late yesterday. According to her, TTT means treatment. I would have never guessed that. Esme12, interestingly enough last term the instructors really, really stressed the importance of approved abbreviations. I rea...

My professor tests on our preparation of material before her lecture. She gives us a powerpoint and uses many abbreviations. Can anyone here tell me what "TTT" may stand for in a powerpoint on the renal system? She uses the acronym three times with v...

Wow! Esme12, you are awesome! I will definitely benefit from these flashcards.

Thank you. I did email the instructor. I wish she was as quick as all of the helpful people on this site. Sometimes I think she makes up her own acronyms to save time making the powerpoint, but it certainly does no good for the quiz before the lectur...

Quizlet is a great online resource. You can look up flashcards made by others and make your own.

I was a high school teacher for over 15 years. Sometimes it is difficult to stop teaching, locate the proper pass (if you even have a supply of them), fill it out, and then send the student. Trust me, there are many times I would tell the student to ...

FYI, our cohort had a person called off the waitlist the second morning of Orientation. Keep your phone on you and be ready to go especially on those days. You just never know when someone will change his/her mind.

I love my little Samsung NP305. The best thing about it, is it's tiny size (under 3 lbs.). I am in nursing school right now and some of my classes are in traditional rooms with tiny desks or auditoriums with pull out half desktops. Most of the other...

No. Each cohort has there own group. Once we confirmed our spot, we were given directions on how to join the group. Ours was named by our graduation date, so try UNF Prelicensure BSN class of summer 2014.

I started UNF in the summer. The Facebook group was and is still very helpful. Each cohort has their own group. You will be amazed how much you can help each other through the process, just by using facebook.

The classes are all during the week, but some may start at 8 a.m. and some won't end till 8 p.m. You will need to sign up for screenings out in the community. Some of these are on Saturdays, but there are some during the week as well. You will have c...

Hi. I started UNF's nursing program this summer and I love it. I just wanted to stop by and tell everyone to follow the advice on here about the interview. They really do want to see your personality. Don't be too rehearsed in your answers. Good luck...

Your mom probably knows you well You can and would not turn you in the wrong direction. It is not uncommon to be unsure of a career path. Nursing provides so many different directions so it has built in job flexibility. Also, keep in mind that a care...

Please tell me how teacher's are able to get the taxpayers to pay for their master's or doctorate degrees. I have been teaching in Florida for 15 years and have never seen such a program. If such a program exists, many of us have been paying tuition ...

I think the original poster just means that for the Fall term only the traditional track is available. The accelerated program only begins summer term.
