I work at a LTC/rehab facility. I know that state mandates 1 nurse to 40 patients and that's fine for the LTC side but not rehab. We normally have 3 nurses for a total of 16-17 patients per nurse. The patients we get are straight from the hospital an...

Has anyone received info packets yet ?

Congrats to you too genonurse on your acceptance to FSU !!!

Congrats !!! I can't wait to go home and check my mail lol. If you don't mine me asking ... Was that 96% program percentile or 96% adjusted score ?

Different as in completely different numbers ? I know on gulfline it shows up as three digits. Ex 85% looks like 850 on gulfline. Also did they specify when next week ? Because in my head I'm thinking "ok letters will be sent out Monday" lol .... Or...

Nope, nothing yet. I called to see if they've been sent out yet and they said the applications were still in review by the admissions committee. I hope they get sent out next week. I'll start to panic if I haven't heard anything by the 15th lol.

You can find all the info on their website. No essay or volunteer work required. Nursing (B.S.N.)

On the website it says GPA used is of ALL course work attempted so if you haven't retaken any classes I'm assuming your GPA should be the same. If you have they also include the grade you got on your first attempt to calculate your GPA so I guess tha...

I think that's just for being admitted to the school not the actual program but I'm not sure. Can't find that page on my gulfline either ... but that's what it looked like when I checked my application status when I first got admitted to FGCU.

I wouldn't count yourself out. It all depends on the applicant pool. I have 3.0 GPA but an 85 overall on the teas. We'll just have to wait and see. Good luck guys!

I'm planning on applying as well. I've scheduled to take the TEAS later this month. What do you guys think my chances are of getting in with a low GPA 3.0-3.3 and an overall 90 on the teas ?

I've been looking into FGCU's nursing program as well. You can find a lot of information on their website. I've posted a link for you. A lot of the prereqs are the same as FSW's. You just need to have the additional bachelors prereqs as well. http:/...

So I have a finger infection (paronychia). The pain is pretty mild. I'm currently on an antibiotic for it. From what I understand (correct me if i'm wrong) it is not contagious unless the abscess ruptures. I'm scheduled to work fri-sat. Usually when...

What counts as an immediate emergency ? I know the obviously apparent stuff like no pulse difficulty breathing and etc. But what about infections ? For example I know that an infected wound is not necessarily life and death depending on what kind I i...

Yes what situations are urgent enough to require a call to the MD ?

In home health do you need an order to admin extra fluids via g tube to help with constipation ?

Has anyone ever worked for PSA in the SW FL area or just FL in general? I have an orientation with them coming up soon and just wanted to know what to expect. How long is the orientation? do i need to bring anything with me and etc. Any information i...

I just got hired at a LTC/Rehab facility as an LPN. People keep steering me away from working this shift and they say it's really hard especially as new grad b/c of new admissions and etc. The ADON said the 11-7 would be easier for me since I'm just ...

So I quit my job at a LTC/rehab facility. Why ? Well for multiple reasons actually. I got written up for something that literally was not my fault. Something should have been done days ago and it wasn't so I pretty much got blamed for it. I take it b...

12 patients would be a dream for me. I'll look into an acute rehab hospital in my area. I don't feel safe at all at my job.

The facility I currently work at schedules mandatory meetings or education for only one day. I only work weekends and these things get posted during the week. Sometimes I am able to see the posting ahead of time because they are posted early, other ...

Congratulations :)

I come home. Thank God that I made it through the day, shower and pass out.
