  1. Tampa General or Bayfront?

    heidi94 posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Hello! So I have a dilemma (albeit a good one). I am a new grad with 2 job offers. My first offer came from Tampa General in their Acute care rotation program. Pros: although I won't be working there...

  2. NCLEX got the good pop-up but now there's a hold

    heidi94 replied to MrNurse19's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I believe that since there was an issue at the testing center, they have to check the tests manually which is why there's a hold and they make take longer to grade. If you cut off at 75 qs I think you...

  8. NCLEX RN

    heidi94 replied to caine143's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  9. NCLEX RN

    heidi94 replied to caine143's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think you're doing well and you'll probably pass, and also you still have 10 days which is still a lot of time to study! Just keep studying and the day before you take the test take the day off and...

  13. Do you consider yourself a "pre-nursing student" or "nursing student?"

    heidi94 replied to NolaLj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unless you're waking up at 4 am for clinicals, studying for 3 tests in the same week, spending hours in lab and having a nervous breakdown, you're not a nursing

  14. When are you officially a nursing student?

    heidi94 replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in General Students

    Here's a question:what about if someone asks "what's your major?" Back when I was taking my prequesites I would sometimes just answer "nursing" because I knew when I graduated I would have a...

    Save, save, save, then borrow, then beg ;p any scholarships you can go for? Things you can sell? Turn off your cable (if you have it)? Pick up extra money babysitting? Couponing? It'll be a lot of...

  20. Is becoming a LPN worth it?

    heidi94 replied to Zysa's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It would be easier to work your way through college study to be a social worker than studying to be a nurse. Although a job as a CNA may be a good way for you to make money I think they make around...

  21. Is becoming a LPN worth it?

    heidi94 replied to Zysa's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Do you want to be a nurse? If the answers no then obviously don't become one. If you do want to be a nurse, going straight for your BSN is the best option, in my opinion. BSNS near me (in florida...

    heidi94 replied to trhumper's topic in Men in Nursing

    heidi94 replied to stacylethani's topic in General Students
