  1. Future LPN in Florida

    land64shark replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hmmm....this is disturbing. I know I've seen ads for St. Pete General advertising for RN's and LPN's saying "new grads welcome". Do they just mean RN new grads? If so, it's a rather deceiving...

  2. Future LPN in Florida

    land64shark replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    As for job prospects, I really can't see myself working LTC, of which there are plenty of jobs. I do know there are area hospitals that hire LPN's...St. Pete General and Northside just off the top of...

  3. Future LPN in Florida

    land64shark replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm on the waiting list for P-tech in Pinellas. I don't know what number I am, but the counselor recently told me that I should be invited into the October class. The first 6 weeks or so are a CNA...

  4. Pre-Reqs are different everywhere- but what are yours?

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

    The ADN program at my local cc requires A&P 1 A&P 2 Psyche (this is a new pre-req requirement) Computer Literacy PLUS a minimum of 11 general ed/support classes from these choices (All will...

  5. DON threatened the Nursing Staff - pending Dennis landfall

    land64shark replied to pensacola_LPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    See now this kind of thing scares me as I'm on the Gulf coast of Florida myself. I'm just a future nurse, but this makes me think twice (and three times) about the kind of places I may want to end up...

  6. A&P II: The Summer '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    land64shark replied to fry.girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Micro as a television/online class, both lecture and lab. I won't be looking in any microscopes, just simulated ones. (I like it that way.

  7. A&P II: The Summer '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    land64shark replied to fry.girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was planning on taking it along with ethics. Neither micro nor ethics are pre-req's, but they are required within the RN program. They are the last 2 classes I have left to take other than the...

  8. A&P II: The Summer '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    land64shark replied to fry.girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You guys are scaring me about micro. I'm taking it this fall and was REALLY hoping it was going to be easier (less work) than

  9. Getting CNA if not required?

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

    Maggie, Where did you take a class for $75? I called the Red Cross here in Tampa Bay and they told me $475! There are ads in the classifieds that advertise around $300 with "easy payment plans" I...

  10. A&P II: The Summer '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    land64shark replied to fry.girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hear that! Reading two chapters a week this summer is about as much as I can handle. There's no way I could read four or even three chapters each week! The end is near for me! Just...

  11. Average CNA salary?

    land64shark replied to pdpeanut's topic in General Nursing

    DAREINGTX, How does a person become a

  12. Who Really Reads the Entire Text Book?

    land64shark posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm just wondering because I'm taking online courses and I really HAVE to read the whole book (and we all know that darned A&P book is 1100 pages)! I don't have anyone telling me what will or...

  13. Who Really Reads the Entire Text Book?

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

    I was afraid of that. Oh well, I can handle it. I just wondered if I was doing it the hard

  14. Where to work on west coast Florida???

    land64shark replied to daiseesc's topic in Florida Nursing

    Which might not be so hard to take if the winters didn't also come with such horrendous traffic

  15. Whats the real deal?

    land64shark replied to Butterfly3001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The cc here is first come first serve after completing pre-req's and a 2.5 GPA or better for A&P 1 and 2. The waiting list is 2-3

  16. A&P II: The Summer '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    land64shark replied to fry.girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, that's what we have to do. Aside from diagnosing the medical problem, we have to explain the medical condition (in this case endometriosis). We have to justify the prescribed medication (danazol)...

  17. LPN schools in FL

    land64shark replied to TriniAngel's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Annamarie, How much was Galen? I submitted their "more information" form last week but haven't heard from them. How long did you have to wait to start?

  18. A&P II: The Summer '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    land64shark replied to fry.girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got my case study assignment. I've been anxious about it simply from fear of the unknown. I don't get it! No, actually I DO get it and that's what I don't understand. It's too darned easy. I...

  19. for those that are done with a&p and chem

    land64shark replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the middle of A&P 2 right now. My school does not require chem at all for their ADN. I got an A in A&P 1 and am carrying one now also, but I struggled/am struggling with the chemistry...

  20. anyone have to show H.S. transcripts for LVN program

    land64shark replied to melissaanneo's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My school wanted proof of high school graduation. That could be a transcript or a copy of your diploma. (I really had to dig to find that darned diploma.) Silly that they wouldn't accept college...

  21. Florida Is Not Affordable Anymore!

    land64shark posted a topic in General Nursing

    There was an article on the front page of the St. Petersburg Times today about how the cost of being a Floridian is rising exponentially and nearing crisis. I know that's right. My home's value has...

  22. Florida Is Not Affordable Anymore!

    land64shark replied to land64shark's topic in General Nursing

    Amazingly, YES there are buyers! The housing market is H-O-T!!! My next door neighbor sold his house after being on the MLS for 15 minutes! He didn't even get the "for sale" sign put up in the front...

  23. Florida Is Not Affordable Anymore!

    land64shark replied to land64shark's topic in General Nursing

    But are Baltimore wages as low as they are in Florida? And homeowner's insurance? And property taxes (which get hit with everything because there's no state income tax)? And utilities (getting hiked...

  24. Florida Is Not Affordable Anymore!

    land64shark replied to land64shark's topic in General Nursing

    [ I just got my homeowner's insurance bill and it is up $500 from last year, but apparently I may be one of the lucky ones. I stand corrected. My DH tells me the homeowners insurance went up $700...

  25. What was the cost of your LPN school

    land64shark replied to mrscableman's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I just want to make sure you realize that although there is no waiting list for the bridge program, there will be a bunch of pre-req's that will have to be completed before admittance. Check it
