    mrsbacktoschool replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    I wonder where they do psych rotation. I'm looking forward to that one (I'm good at the neck-up

  2. UCF 2013 Fall-Orlando generic BSN applicants?

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    Here's a good question- where are clinical sites? Do they tend to be around UCF? Are they everywhere? That would have a huge bearing on where I put my daughter for childcare. For example, if they...

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    I might move my daughter there because they have the night program, and her current daycare closes at 6. Hubby is unavailable

  4. Anatomy and Physio online. CA

    mrsbacktoschool replied to janiney77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In researching schools for my application cycle, I found most told me that no online classes that are usually paired with labs are accepted. I kind of got by with a hybrid class for my micro- with...

    Tell me about it. I made plans to go camping that Friday- I might need to get a solar charger so I can keep my phone on and check every 5 minutes. How evil, UCF email just dinged with a new message...

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    Don't feel so nervous alisano.tru, we are just all a little crazy with the wait. I actually do have a countdown app installed on my phone for the different deadlines! CON said that letters go out...

  11. UCF 2013 Fall-Orlando generic BSN applicants?

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, I hate to break it to you, but 4 months is actually less maintenance. When they walk and talk, and demand your attention constantly, there is no studying to be had until after they go to bed. My...

  12. Where is the nursing shortage?

    mrsbacktoschool replied to fbrlauren's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the nursing shortage is in parts of the country that has a shortage in just about everything else. Take, for instance, back hills Louisiana, Mississippi, and rural north. Appalachia, etc....

  15. What's the job market like in Florida right now? New grad.

    mrsbacktoschool replied to bluebeetle7's topic in Florida Nursing

    Maybe I've been in Orlando too long, because that would be a pretty lateral move in pay. I'm in mental health services, where the starting pay for new grads (masters level) is $25K. I was hoping to...

  16. UCF Applicants- Have you heard anything yet?

    mrsbacktoschool posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi everyone, I was just wondering if UCF applicants (accelerated and basic BSN) have heard anything back yet? I was told this is the first year they will be doing interviews, so I don't think the...

    mrsbacktoschool replied to bluebeetle7's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh thank goodness. I was really really scared there for a minute. That's just short of what I make now and I find it liveable. It would be nice to make more eventually

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks for the heads up on labs. I need to set up a babysitter/after care. I was hoping to meet other parents in the program so we could have study group/play dates and trade babysitting on clinicals...

  20. Got rejected from several nursing programs. What are your coping mechanisms?

    mrsbacktoschool replied to TiffanyLe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love that. I can commiserate, but this is my first year applying to nursing school. I felt horrible last year after receiving 13 rejections for physician assistant school. I took the risk to...

  21. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm sure they are looking for people who are just genuine and really excited about nursing. The only thing I'm willing to bet will differ from the other interviews is the accelerated part. I went...

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    Goknights- did you have any choice in your lab hours or clinicals hours? I have to work out child care with hubby and I'm wondering if clinicals can be done on Fridays/Saturdays when he is

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm getting a Littman Cardiology 3. I am not great at hearing sounds through a regular double-sided Littman. In physio lab I used to have to watch the bp jump on the dial because I couldn't hear it...

    Oh thank goodness for black pants! I've seen the nursing students around campus in all white. I was thinking I'd have to wear bike shorts or something underneath, just to make sure nothing ever...
