  1. 2013 UF Accelerated BSN Applicants!

    traumanurse2b? replied to gatorguy3380's topic in Florida Nursing

    I just wanted to tell you good luck! I'm from Newberry, but moved out of state because my husband is in the military. UF is such a great school, I hope you get

  2. First day of Nursing School..

    traumanurse2b? replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

    Yay for a wonderful first day!! I hope tomorrow goes just as well! I have an Asus tablet that has a docking keyboard, so it looks and sits like a laptop. I'm considering bringing that with me. I will...

  3. How long is your commute to nursing school?

    traumanurse2b? replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in General Students

    School is less than 10 minutes away. My clinical sites are anywhere from 20 minutes to about 2 hours

  4. Smoking and the Nursing Student

    traumanurse2b? replied to RainbowDash's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My husband quit last year using chantix. It did make him a little moody but he was able to quit after trying to quit on his own several times. Unfortunately he has picked up the habit again while he's...

  5. Are these sneakers acceptable for nursing school?

    traumanurse2b? replied to 369XYZ's topic in General Students

    My program allows clog style shoes like dansko and crocs. But the crocs have go be the ones without holes and have to have a heel strap. I got a pair of dansko's myself!

  6. Public Speaking

    traumanurse2b? replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My public speaking professor wanted us to practice our speeches at least 20 times. I always got super nervous but because I basically memorized all of my speeches 100% it was definitely easier. We...

  7. Failed nursing school but didn't give up!

    traumanurse2b? replied to NursingLove4all's topic in General Students

    I think it is really amazing that you stuck it out. Over the past 5 years I have hears from so many people about how I wouldn't get into school for this or that. You proved that if you are dedicated,...

  8. Number of clinical hours

    traumanurse2b? posted a topic in General Students

    This is more of a question for my own curiosity.... How many clinical hours does your program offer? What kind of program are you in and how long is it? I don't know what an average number would be...

  9. Any other MilSpouses with concerns?

    traumanurse2b? replied to Jennie.K's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started pre-reqs in Florida (our home state) and then we moved to Virginia. I've been able to complete (graduating in December) my Associates degree here going part time for 3 years while surviving...

  10. Number of clinical hours

    traumanurse2b? replied to traumanurse2b?'s topic in General Students

    Wow, everyone on here has about the same number of hours as my program. Many people in my area made it seem like we were the odd ones out with the amount of hours we have. I think its great

  11. USF, UCF or UF? In a pickle!

    traumanurse2b? replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    I would apply to all three honestly. It never hurts to have options. Also have you considered applying to Santa Fe in Gainesville? Its a 4 year college now, offering a BSN program also. I have several...

  12. GPA just not good enough

    traumanurse2b? replied to rokbe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with Dark star. Your GPA is definitely competitive in my opinion. I got into my BSN program with a 3.4 and scoring "Advanced" on the TEAS V. I think it really depends on the area you are in....

  13. What are you most worried about in regards to starting nursing school??

    traumanurse2b? replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm afraid of failure and not being smart enough. I worry that I won't be able to retain anything and that I will be a clueless student and possibly nurse. But this makes me want to try even

  14. How to ask for Letters of Recommendation-Feel embarrassed!

    traumanurse2b? replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My sister was a marketing major and is a great talker so I talked to her and she ended up writing it for me. It was really

  15. How to ask for Letters of Recommendation-Feel embarrassed!

    traumanurse2b? replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I felt embarrassed when I asked my professor so I just cut straight to the point. I said I was applying to nursing school and asked if she would mind writing a letter for me. It ended up that I wrote...

  16. Finally..here I go! and a word of warning

    traumanurse2b? replied to suzilks1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    traumanurse2b? replied to fruitypebbles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well in that case, my school is Sentara College of Health Sciences in Chesapeake, Virginia. Its a 2.5 year program for their BSN, all prereqs must be completed before the start of the program.

  18. How far would you commute to nursing school?

    traumanurse2b? replied to SlaveHeart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think I could do that for longer than a year, 2 if I was really dedicated. Taking into account that my clinicals start at 7 am, that is just way too early for me. If you're very dedicated and...

    Good luck! I loved micro. Its very hands on, and I love courses like that. Be prepared to grow your own bacterias and make your own microscope slides for examination. Such

  20. nursing schools

    traumanurse2b? replied to fruitypebbles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to look at schools in your area to figure that out. I know that in my area (eastern Va) my school only looks at required pre-reqs for consideration to the BSN program.... but unless you are...

  21. When do you find time to work out?

    traumanurse2b? replied to emcadams's topic in General Students

    My plan is to stop by my gym everyday after class. I live 10 minutes from campus and my gym is one street before the street my campus is on. So I figure if I'm driving by I can stop for at least 30...

  22. I need reassurance, or reality check?

    traumanurse2b? replied to studentinchicago's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thats how it is here! Some schools here average your grades, while my school (for BSN) looks at the highest grade you received and your TEAS V score. They don't accept letters of recommendation or...

  23. I need reassurance, or reality check?

    traumanurse2b? replied to studentinchicago's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    True. I had a 4.0 at a college before, transferred to the college I'm at now due to military. The grades at my previous college did not transfer but my credit did. I did get accepted to my BSN program...

  24. I need reassurance, or reality check?

    traumanurse2b? replied to studentinchicago's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My current CC has grade forgiveness up to 3 attempts. I know this because I failed a class BC I stopped going due to personal reasons. I retook said class and got a C, and one other C plus all A's and...

    For the first part of my program (care partner) its white scrub pants and an embroidered royal blue scrub top. For the BSN portion I believe its the white scrub pants again and a different colored...
