  1. What was the cost of your LPN school

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

    The vocational public school here costs about $3600 and includes everything. There is a wait list of 8mo-a year. (They admit several times a year.) There's private schools around here also that do not...

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

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

    I agree! I'm very big on practice quizzes and I must be doing something right because I just got a 94 on my

  3. Tampa Bay Area Hospitals EAYL Programs

    land64shark posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm familiar with Morton Plant's Earn As You Learn RN program. Do other Bay area hospitals have these programs? If so, do you already have to be in a nursing program or do they set you up in nursing...

  4. Tampa Bay Area Hospitals EAYL Programs

    land64shark replied to land64shark's topic in Florida Nursing

    Sandy, I had checked into Morton Plant's EAYL LPN and didn't think it was worth the 2 year commitment. Upon graduation you would get med-surg, no choice and with their lousy (compared to LTC) hospital...

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

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

    (Online Classes) I've got a midterm already tomorrow. (We have two of them.) We've had 4 chapter quizzes and this will cover all 4...blood, heart, circulation and lymphatic. So far the quizzes have...

  6. BSN and Foreign Language Requirements

    land64shark replied to land64shark's topic in General Nursing

    Well in the schools around here, foreign language is not a requirement for the BSN program itself. It is in the fineprint of the actual school requirements. This includes RN to BSN

  7. BSN and Foreign Language Requirements

    land64shark posted a topic in General Nursing

    Are there any BSN schools that don't have a foreign language requirement? I only took one year of high school Spanish and from what I can tell, I'll need to take 8 credits of college foriegn

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

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

    Yeah, I would have thought that to be where we would start also since it was the next chapter after A&P 1. Nope. We started with blood followed by the heart, circulation and lymphatic...

  9. Anatomy & Physiology II ONLINE????

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

    Oh I definately believe that in-room classes are more informative. My A&P 1 lecture prof had on-campus midterm and final review classes. I walked out of both thinking "Wow, that's so much clearer...

  10. LPN/LVN rate of pay in your area.

    land64shark replied to Couture_Honey's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks Darlene. I'm starting LPN school in the fall and live in Clearwater. I really don't think I'm going to want to do LTC, so any info on other options in the Tampa Bay area is

  11. LPN/LVN rate of pay in your area.

    land64shark replied to Couture_Honey's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    How much experience do you have, if you don't mind me asking? What area of the hospital do you work?

  12. Anatomy & Physiology II ONLINE????

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

    I actually learn alot in the online lab by doing the activities. The lab cd is pretty much a joke and we don't use it much. Answering the questions he gives is where I have to look stuff up and think....

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

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

    My online classes started on Monday. I have a different instructor for lecture and lab. This was probably not a good idea. The two classes are not moving in sync. I'm also not liking that my lecture...

  14. Anatomy & Physiology II ONLINE????

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

    You're lucky. I've had profs that don't answer e-mails and are unavailable for a week at a time. That said, I still manage to get A's. Do I understand as much as I would being taught in the classroom?...

  15. Critical Care Differential

    land64shark posted a topic in General Nursing

    Someone mentioned a "critical care differential" on another thread about salaries. What is that and is it the

  16. Club LPN / Fall '05

    land64shark replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i thought i was in for august as well. i happened to e-mail the school to ask some other questions and found out that i'm not starting until

  17. Club LPN / Fall '05

    land64shark replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How long are your programs? Mine is 15 months of actual in-room/clinical classtime, so figure it to be 17 months from start to graduation. It starts out with a 6 week CNA training course. Is this the...

  18. Volunteering hours

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

    Gee, I just fired off an e-mail a couple of hours ago to the local hospital's volunteer office. I'm also interested in setting myself up for the future. My original plan was/is to start an LPN program...

  19. Very confussed about courses

    land64shark replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry is not a requirement in the ADN program at my CC. Can't say I'm upset about that.

  20. 1 month in and students already quitting

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

    Okay, how's this? In my A&P 1 lecture class, we started with 28 and ended with 10! Pretty much same story with the lab (different instructor). Granted they were online classes which are supposed...

  21. Very confussed about courses

    land64shark replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An advisor at the community college suggested this route to me also when I was changing my major to nursing. It's a quicker means to an the

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

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

    I begin on May 16th. I'm taking both lecture and lab online just like I did for A&P 1. This time, we're using the Tortora text and I'm glad. I hated the Marieb book last round. This is a 10 week...

  24. What are the nursing schools in your area like??

    land64shark replied to GrnHonu99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My CC doesn't go by GPA. It's strictly first come, first served after completion of A&P 1 and 2 with a minimum of a C and a total of 12 general ed credits. The wait list is 2 1/2 to 3 years long...

  25. Gen. Psych in Summer, too hard?

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

    I just finished up my psyche class this week. It was a tele-web class. That was by far the easiest A I've ever gotten and I didn't even read the book. I did watch the television programs and I did...
