  3. NOVA vs FIU Please HELP?????

    SoniaReb replied to LoveMJJ's topic in Florida Nursing

    It is a no-brainer....FIU. FIU is substantially cheaper and in my humble opinion, a much better Nursing School. Can you commute daily from your current location (Home) to FIU Campus? My son...

    SoniaReb replied to jliz27's topic in Florida Nursing

  7. Too many online NP programs

    SoniaReb replied to laudate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    IMHO, the trend towards Online format is really one of survival. It is much "cheaper" for schools to educate via the Online format, that many B&M Schools realize that if they do not move in that...

  10. West Coast University

    SoniaReb replied to 1sildiaz's topic in California Nursing

    Maybe the school takes anyone with a pulse and there are many pre-nursing students with low GPA that do not stand a chance of getting into ANY regular Nursing Program. Then again, you have a few...

  11. Failing high school Pre-Calc... can I still be a nurse?

    SoniaReb replied to Jack C's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I take it that by Scholarship you mean "2 + 2 Florida Plan" (Prepaid Tuition)? Why do you call it a Scholarship? My advice concerning the Dual Enrollment was just that, an advice so take it for what...

    SoniaReb replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in School, College Programs

    No one wants to say it, but the realities are most students who could not get into a Not-for-profit institution (low GPA, etc.) tend to gravitate towards these For-Profit-Schools. I have been told by...

  19. Quitting first job?

    SoniaReb replied to cole9's topic in Nursing Career

    Excellent answer! The only thing I would add is the OP might just change her mind and decide to go the CRNA route in the future and the ICU experience will be needed. I say stick it out for at least...

  22. Does it matter where a person goes to nursing school?

    SoniaReb replied to acj108's topic in School, College Programs
