Hello all, I will be starting out in NICU in about a week and was wondering what advice any of you have for a brand new nurse who passed boards a month ago? This will be my very first job in nursing and I am very excited but at the same time nervous...

Hello, new RN here and I'm having the worst time finding a job in Miami. It's where we live and we can't move anytime soon, so we're stuck here. Been applying to all area hospitals even up in Broward county and have had no luck whatsoever. Mostly ...

Hello, An "acquaintance" of mine mentioned that RN's will HAVE to hold Master's degrees in order to practice in a couple of years. Is this true? I live in Florida and I've been having trouble looking this up on the web. I'm a graduate nurse and I ...

Thank you TheCommuter, that's what I thought also, but this "person" keeps insisting that all RN's will "HAVE" to have a Masters. Thanks again!

Hello there, Yeah, I can definetly see your dilema. Why don't you seek out help from a financial planner or someone who can guide you through some planning and ideas on better handling your finances? I would do that before you make a decision. I k...

Hello there, I also moved down to Miami from NYC (in 2001). I got accepted to Barry University's Accelerated Program that starts Jan of 2007. I'm super excited yet a little nervous. It is MUCH more expensive the Miami Dade College. I tried applyi...

Hello, Yep, I agree with the above post. I went to http://www.salliemae.com and I got the loan ($29,000...YIKES!) and this barely covers 2 semesters at my school (Barry University in Miami,FL). I didn't need a cosigner and it was painless. I also ...

Hello Ludy, I'm so sorry to hear things did not go well. I'm hoping you can inform me as to what you did (if anything) and didn't like. Were the faculty helpful? The student handbook states that Barry is $12K per semester, but what other fees did ...

Hi Nathalie, I'm trying to get a feel for what the AO program is really like. In other words, what is your school schedule like? HOw is the clinical part of it setp? I live in the Kendall part of Miami and I'm afraid that I'll get stuck having to ...

Hello Whomeanurse! Thanks again for everything. I do have an advisor at the Med campus, but he didn't want to go into details as to immunizations, etc. He said once I get accepted, then the "welcome to MDCC nursing program" package would detail eve...

Hey there! Thanks so much for your valuable input. Did they require insurance from you? Also, what other immunizations besides HepB and MMR do they require? And can I go to a regular doctor for that or does MDCC provide a place where I can go and...

Thank you so much for replying! I've been hoping to meet or email someone that's actually in these nursing programs! I just had a couple of more questions to ask: 1.) What are your hours like (classroom and rotations..for example, are you in class...

Hello! I'm applying for the May 2006 program and I was wondering how difficult did you find it to get into UM? What was your GPA? I have a BS in Accounting and I'm desperately trying to get into UM's accelerated BSN program. Is your background in...

Hey Christina, thanks so much for all the info. But of course, I have a couple of other questions for you (i'm sorry, i know you must be swamped with everything, so i'll try to keep it short): 1.) When can you sit for the NET exam? Was it difficu...
