  1. Spjc Nursing

    land64shark replied to NRSNFL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NRSNFL, I'm in the day program. There are two day classes of 36 students each (3 instructors each) and one evening class of 36 students. (I'd swear they said there were 120 something level 1 students....

  2. Spjc Nursing

    land64shark replied to NRSNFL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's the real scoop. The first competitive application for SPC was this PAST August for Jan. 2006 entry. This is where you are confused that there are no spots available for THAT class. I am in the...

  3. kidney stones ? and the ER

    land64shark replied to mommy2boys's topic in Emergency

    I had my first (and only so far) stone when I was 2 months post delivery of my third baby. I didn't go to the ED. I went to my Dr's office. Though he said he immediately recognized a kidney stone by...

  4. Tampa LTC

    land64shark replied to lmolvr's topic in Florida Nursing

    Neither SPC nor HCC have a CNA requirement, so it can't be a Florida requirement. Angie O'Plasty, I also think you missed the part that the OP is already an

  5. Hiring freezes, cut backs?

    land64shark replied to Floridanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Tampa Bay and the snow birds are out in force in these parts. The traffic is a real bear this time of year. I can't imagine that census would be down around here, though I don't actually know...

  6. Your Score on the TEAS?

    land64shark replied to tanner523's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Those were exactly my scores too! :) My school is one that has us take it in the beginning and again at the end to see how we've

  7. USF College of Nursing

    land64shark replied to moonischasingme1's topic in Florida Nursing

    When I was looking into USF last year, they said the cutoff from the previous class was something like a 3.2 GPA. You should be fine, assuming you've got all of your pre-req's

  8. Update

    land64shark replied to FurmanGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow and Congratulations! Your head must be spinning! And I thought I had short notice mid November. Good

  9. Is a Nurse Extern position helpful for a students?

    land64shark replied to rn2bn07's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Stupid question: What do nurse externs actually do? Since I'm beginning during the spring semester, I'll have two free summers between

  10. Took practice exam...

    land64shark replied to Stdy2BaNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's some easy stuff to brush up on (and will really get you if you don't): Know your metric system equivalents - 2.54cm to 1 inch, how many kilograms in a pound, etc. Know how many cups in a pint,...

  11. Took practice exam...

    land64shark replied to Stdy2BaNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought the science was a breeze. If you've taken your science pre-req's, you should be good to go. :wink2: Even if I hadn't taken them, I still think I could have done better than "okay" with the...

  12. Took practice exam...

    land64shark replied to Stdy2BaNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the TEAS today. My school doesn't use it as a test for admissions. Instead, everyone admitted must take it before classes begin to give us a baseline to measure against later on. Also, it...

  13. Sigh of relief! I got into the close campus!

    land64shark replied to Achoo!'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love it when a plan comes

  14. Microbiology - Fall 2005

    land64shark replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The range of grades on our final were from a low of 49% to a high of 86% for 58 people. So I guess my 84 wasn't too bad afterall. (I only needed a 69 anyway.) I can't tell you how relieved I am that...

  15. How does your class schedule compare to mine????

    land64shark replied to CareBayer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start nursing classes on Jan. 9. I just finished my last "other" classes today. I'll only have the actual nursing core classes to take. Mon - skills lab 1:00pm - 3:00pm Tues - clinical 7:00am -...

  16. Microbiology - Fall 2005

    land64shark replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Done...Done ...Done!!! A's in both online lab and lecture. God how I hated that class! I'm so happy to be over it. Now I can go shopping and watch my Christmas movies with my eggnog without guilt that...

  17. Microbiology - Fall 2005

    land64shark replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know what I need on my final to keep my A. I wish I did. But since my online class started over again mid-semester because we got our first instructor fired for completely ignoring our class...

  18. How to learn A&P I in a week or less... (I've really messed things up)

    land64shark replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You CAN do it! Keep a positive attitude. I took A&P 1 and 2 and micro online, so I had to teach myself. For A&P, I read every word of each chapter and got A's. For micro, I've learned I can...

  19. immunizations - close call for me!

    land64shark replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually, I do have insurance. Its $1000 deductable! That's the problem of why I haven't been to a primary for like 6 years. I have Blue Cross PPO and so I bypass the primary when I need something...

  20. immunizations - close call for me!

    land64shark replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Where do you go for titers and how long does it take to get the results? Does the Health Dept. do them? I'm guessing I can get immunizations there, yes? What about the health exam? I don't have a...

  21. hi from Pinellas County

    land64shark replied to beaglelover's topic in Florida Nursing

    From what I understand, RN's do better with pay at the hospitals and LPN's do better in LTC. (But I could be wrong as I'm not a working nurse

    Tweety, that's exactly what I'm hoping! Thanks for telling me of your experience. I really am feeling better lately. I think it was just nerves getting the best of

  24. Roll call! who got accepted for spring 2006?

    land64shark replied to smk1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was surprised at how laid back my school was at orientation also. The program director said that they were "liberal" with second and third chances and that they have a really great tutoring office....

  25. working on Christmas?

    land64shark replied to scrmblr's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I was admitted to the hospital several years ago for Thanksgiving with kidney stones. That was the most depressing place I've ever been to in my life (so far). I didn't want...
