  1. Galen College of Nursing Tampa Accreditation

    111th replied to RBlis's topic in School, College Programs

    They are currently candidates for the ACEN accreditation for their ADN program. They just had their visit from the council and it went well (we were told). They should have their accreditation "Summer...

  2. LPN to RN -Tampa

    111th replied to Nekomi's topic in Florida Nursing

    Excelsior is completely online, which is why MusicNurseCarrlee recommended it to you. I believe there's a 2 day clinical or something that you have to go to at the end but that's it. I don't know of...

  3. LPN to RN -Tampa

    111th replied to Nekomi's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm in my third quarter at Galen and overall, I do like it. I have found it a bit unorganized but I think it would be easier if I was able to go to campus and speak with people rather than call/email...

  4. Galen College of Nursing

    111th replied to 111th's topic in School, College Programs

    Thought I'd add that we were told they are changing the clinicals from 12 hours to 6 hour shifts so they will be double what we were

  5. Clinic staff ask pt how to find injection site?

    111th replied to MinneNurse's topic in General Nursing

    It is policy at my clinic to give all IMs in the dorsal gluteal area (or deltoid when appropriate). We have a good mix of LPNs and MAs and we are considered equal in terms of what we can give and how....

    111th replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Our system allows pts to enter their own information from a kiosk before getting checked in. My favorite is when they list EVERY antibiotic (some for real reasons and others for diarrhea, stomach...

  7. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    111th replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Few! The pts insurance is listed on their face sheet and I have to look in order to make sure they stop at the front desk if needed after discharge. It's usually obvious who has Medicaid when they...

  8. Pregnancy and nursing

    111th replied to SayRPN's topic in General Students

    Is this your first child? Do you have reliable child care set up? I personally wouldn't be able to do it. Nursing programs are hard and stressful. I did not find the coursework difficult to...

  9. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    111th replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Well I work at an Urgent Care but wanted to throw some out there anyway. - 40 y/o male with chapped lips - 8 y/o female with "increased heart rate" brought in by mom. Mom felt daughters heart beat...

  10. OK, so my body hurts

    111th replied to CrystalinNC's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am an LPN and would agree it is much less strenuous than say, LTC. I am on my feet for nearly 12 hours a day and do a lot of running around because we are a busy center however. I think you were...

  11. Tampa area

    111th replied to laurah1976's topic in Florida Nursing

    Nycnurse2be, can I ask if you are a new grad with an ADN or BSN?

  12. LPN or RN. Which program is more difficult?

    111th replied to ashmckay's topic in General Students

    I read this confused as to why your friend would get a med tech certification as well... If this is truly her idea, she is confused as to what her role as a LPN will be. I think the correct answer to...

  14. JOBS in Florida

    111th replied to BeachBliss114's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Good luck! I work for a very large Urgent Care in Orlando and was hired on at $15/hour (with experience). It was definitely a shock coming from a Northern state. Your best bet probably will be LTC....

  15. Tampa Galen LPN to rn accreditation

    111th replied to Stefanie40's topic in LPN to RN

    They are regionally accredited with SACS, but do not have the ACEN accreditation. They are candidates though so hopefully all works out and they soon will

    111th replied to hillnursing's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I took the Hesi A2 in Illinois in 2013. I remember the math section being pretty simple because most questions you could simply plug the answers into to see which one worked. There were a lot of...

    Mb0382, thank you for taking the time to reply! I'm so glad everything is going well for you! As I mentioned, I live in Orlando and I did call HR departments of 3 local hospitals (FL Hosp, ORMC, and...

    Tre976 please keep me updated! I'm hoping to take the Pax next week! Ellienix05- eek! I've read a few posts like this and it really scares me. The hybrid program is really the best for my schedule so...

  19. The easiest way to become a R.N

    111th replied to sosomiami's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't this there is an "easy" way. The quickest way would be to go to a for-profit school that included prereqs alongside the nursing courses. Be aware that Valencia has a 2 year wait list and all...

    111th replied to sboston20's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So... I know this isn't the point at all, but what portion of your drug screen were you signing before your shift? Your urine and all paperwork with signatures should have been sealed in your...
