  1. Gulf Coast State College Spring 2014 Class

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    I've used software twice, by choice in developmental psych (for test prep, but I would have been fine without it) and by requirement in nutrition. The nutrition course is the only reason I have any...

  2. Gulf Coast State College Spring 2014 Class

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    So, I found out a bunch of helpful information today. Most of the supplemental texts we shouldn't need. The guide for nursing diagonses and interventions will get used a lot, so that one is key....

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    I doubt we'll *really* need the CDs, but who knows? I tried to find the used CD by itself but no luck. If I could figure out a way to share the disc, the used foundations 1 books alone are available...

    Euphonicus replied to latestnight's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    This may sound a bit unorthodox but certain auto interior care products (Armor All, etc...) should work great on steth

  5. Doctor Anyone?

    Euphonicus replied to Ant24's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am entering nursing from a rather unusual background: classical musician turned correctional officer, former pre-pharmacy. Once I knew I wanted to work in the health field, I flip-flopped between...

  6. Gulf Coast State College Spring 2014 Class

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    I know, highway robbery! The good news is that I found all the required books plus the DVDs and 2 of the supplemental for around 100 total online, some new and some

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    This is the study I was talking about, by the way... I tried to pry any bit of info that I could out of my adviser during the application process, but GC is very tight-lipped about their selection...

  8. Changing careerS

    Euphonicus replied to iTyrizzle87's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've been a Florida correctional officer for 6 years, was a musician with various day jobs before that (not like someone takes away your "musician card" if you stop playing out though) and am starting...

  9. Gulf Coast State College Spring 2014 Class

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    How are your HESI scores (if you have all ready taken it)? Unofficially, I am fairly certain that Gulf Coast places a heavier emphasis on test scores vs. GPA and corequisites completed than other...

  10. Gulf Coast State College Spring 2014 Class

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thank you! I know it'll make nursing school more difficult but my wife and her whole family are 100% supportive (all my family lives thousands of miles away). Honestly one of the reasons I went with...

  11. Male Nurses that lift weights and stay fit

    Euphonicus replied to S-Rank's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Can you do bodyweight squats? I know it's not the same as heavy free weight work but you can get a serious workout from pistol squat

  12. Male Nurses that lift weights and stay fit

    Euphonicus replied to S-Rank's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm a student but have worked as a correctional officer for years and in that field keeping your strength up is essential. I tore my right lateral delt, rehabbed, then reinjured and gave up for a...

  13. Gulf Coast State College Spring 2014 Class

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't have any kids yet (hopefully this changes soon!) buy I can only imagine how hard it must be, especially after being a stay home mom for that long! You're right about it being worth it though,...

  14. Gulf Coast State College Spring 2014 Class

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    Used is definitely the way to go if you have time to track them down. I work with a recent grad and am going to see if she has any first semester books left that she wants to unload (assuming they...

  15. Gulf Coast State College Spring 2014 Class

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have last year's too, but since the 13-14 year is already in progress I assume the info is still valid. I'm probably going to hit the bookstore after fingerprinting is over as well. I remember...

    Ah, good find! That makes

  17. Gulf Coast State College Spring 2014 Class

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't think we're required to have either but by handwriting is •terrible• and as a classical musician I've had some carpal tunnel issues in the past so I try to take preventative measures where...

  18. Gulf Coast State College Spring 2014 Class

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    If you're using financial aid, that's right, but if you're paying cash you can buy whatever books or supplies you want. I'm thinking of buying the basic semester 1 books early because I will have 5...

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    Mr. K is great. I'd rather not post detailed instructor info publicly (even positive) but I don't mind saying

  20. Gulf Coast State College Spring 2014 Class

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    I downloaded the nursing student handbook which is FULL of helpful info on everything in the whole 2 year program. It answered probably 90% of my non-subjective questions. As far as clinical go......

  21. Gulf Coast State College Spring 2014 Class

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have been so stressed over the past few months that my stress level has actually gone down considerably, although I'm sure that will change in

  22. Gulf Coast State College Spring 2014 Class

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't know anyone currently in the program but I know a few recent grads and they all say that what makes the first semester so challenging is unfamiliarity. I think that being able to find a...

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    Congrats Kristian. I agree about Pharm, as I am taking it currently. Very glad to not have to worry about it during semster

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm missing A&P II and Micro still; work kept me from taking any lab courses this term (web only) otherwise I would have at least A&P. I took Pharmacology instead, so at least I was able to...

  25. Gulf Coast State College Spring 2014 Class

    Euphonicus replied to bjbbeauchamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    I was really nervous too, also first time applying. I was pre-pharmacy previously, but after spending a lot of time at work with the nursing staff, my eyes were really opened to what nursing is...
