    highwaygirl replied to Icujnel7's topic in Florida Nursing

    highwaygirl replied to Icujnel7's topic in Florida Nursing

    Grrr. I guess I'll distract myself by trying to learn/figure out Evernote. Anything else interesting come out of your visit to the counselor? Edited to add: Does anyone have any info about where the...

    highwaygirl replied to Icujnel7's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yep, no appointments necessary for vaccinations at your local county health department. You may have to wait a little bit depending upon how busy they are (I love people watching so waiting is fine by...

    highwaygirl replied to Icujnel7's topic in Florida Nursing

    Well at most we only have one more week to wait! I've been passing time looking at stethoscopes, rolling bags, white shoes, and different scrubs styles. Oh and starting my vaccinations. My titers for...

  10. Too close to the situation for comfort?

    highwaygirl replied to JTinKY's topic in Oncology

    I'm in the same position as you are, JTinKY - I'm a nursing student and cancer survivor who wants to work with cancer patients when I become an RN. I'm sure there will be times when I identify...

  11. What Is The Deal With All The Highly Educated & Professionals Becoming RNs?

    highwaygirl replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you how I plan on doing it. I have a BA in Communications and will be starting an ADN program in the fall. Once I have my RN license, I plan on entering an MSN program at the University of...

    highwaygirl replied to Icujnel7's topic in Florida Nursing

    According to the counselor I saw, if you have taken the class - and it sounds like you did actually take Comp - then they will use the grade you received in the class. My situation is slightly...

    highwaygirl replied to Icujnel7's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have a 3.88 and all classes completed, too. I went back and re-read the thread for Fall 2012 and noticed that the people who claimed to have high GPAs that weren't admitted all had some other issue...

  14. What sacrifices will you make? / How hungry are you?

    highwaygirl replied to NCmcMan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's definitely hard trying to juggle the intense nature of nursing school with the need to work and make money. I am extremely fortunate in that I could move back home and live with my mom while in...

  15. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    highwaygirl replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Tuition costs for my area would be $6,000 for a BSN (community college) and $20,000 for an MSN (state university). The other factor for me is the state university would require an hour commute twice a...

    highwaygirl replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 43 and just finished my prerequisites, waiting to hear on July 1 if I got into the nursing program for Fall 2013. I'm getting an ADN and then going right into the RN-BSN program. I was considering...

    highwaygirl replied to Icujnel7's topic in Florida Nursing

    I applied for the ADN program. I have a BS in Communications from Florida State, but I don't have an LPN license. The BS really only helped me in that it counted for the English and Speech...

    highwaygirl replied to Icujnel7's topic in Florida Nursing

    The official date that they send out acceptance letters to your SPC email is July 1. Doesn't mean that couldn't send them out earlier if they decided to, though. The last time I saw a counselor she...
