I started working for Kendall Regional as a traveler when i moved down here. It is a for profit, HCA facility. I can tell you they are always understaffed and don't seem to show any sign of changing that. I consistently get 3 ICU patients and often I...

On a side note, I am currently working on the Writing express unit #6. Is all of this material due on the 23rd like they originally said, or are we trailing into the following week? It's not a huge deal, but it just appears like most people are in th...

Daniella, I am also in the acute care program. I am working full time as a traveling nurse in the ICU at Kendall Regional Medical Center. When I was going through the application process I asked multiple times about work and was told that a good port...

did you take a travel position? Or is it a full time spot?

Nice! Yeah I have not been able to get too far in the course because of moving down here from New York. Just this week I started doing it daily. Hopefully baptist isn't hurting as bad as Kendall is because patient ratio here is usually 3 to 1. Good l...

How is everyone doing with the prep course? I rented the books for our first semester from Amazon. Only $41 total for both books which is much cheaper than the school bookstore rental. Shipping is included too. I'm Looking forward to starting next mo...

Daniella, I am not sure how many people apply or get in to the program for acute care. I was told that not nearly as many people apply for acute as the FNP. With there being less spots I'm not sure if it is any less competitive. I think the best way ...

Is anyone else having trouble gaining access to blackboard and the APP. I registered with a cane ID and called the help desk and they couldn't get me set up. I emailed daphne a little earlier today. Hopefully she can help sort it out. Super happy tha...

Congrats! I think you will be able to find a place for that price range. I have been looking at houses because I have 2 herding dogs and they are 1,600-1,800. That is for a 3-4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house.

The school told me it only takes a few days to process once you move down there. I also called American data bank and they confirmed that it is very quick. I sent fingerprint cards to binary biometrics in Florida and they are going to make them digit...

Yes, I also called them. I had fingerprint cards done today. I'm going to send one to the live scan company in Florida for my license and then I will get the background ones done once/if I ever make it down to Florida. I hate how last minute all of t...

Elpeet did you start the fingerprint process for your Florida license yet? It looks as though we cannot send electronic. You have to get finger print cards done locally and then send them to a live scan location in Florida. They then process them and...

No I did the out of state one. Or "non Florida resident." I can't remember what it said. Out of state takes longer so the sooner you get it started the better

My cumulative GPA is about a 3.3 but my GPA in my nursing program is a little higher. I have a little over 2 years of ICU experience. I'm certified to do CRRT dialysis and also IABP certified. I'm not sure what they focus on the most.

I work in a medical icu which also pretty much takes any kind of patient. I don't think they are going to ask I anything super specific. Also, if you think about it, there are no nurses who know everything. Everyone has their strong and weak areas. I...

I did not see your previous posts so I apologize my phone doesn't always show them all. I am doing the part time study that starts in January 2016. The interview was about 50% clinical questions which isn't bad. Mine lasted about 20 minutes. CEN will...

During my interview (for acute care NP) they asked me about the role of an NP. They asked me why I wanted to become one, and what my 5 year plan was. I was then asked a few clinical questions. I do not remember all of them but I was asked to explain ...

Have you considered a travel position? That is how I am going to move. The pay is great and then I don't have to worry about finding a place to live in from across the country

Also, is everyone from Florida? I am moving from New York. It is going to be a rough couple months for me.

I was accepted into their acute care NP program today. I think that we might all be in the same class for the first semester. Both programs show 601 and 612 as the first courses. Congrats everyone.

I applied to their Adult Geriatric Acute Care NP program. Nursing CAS was HORRIBLE. I had multiple issues that were never addressed and it took me two months longer than it should have to get my application to go through. That being said, I was conta...

Hello, I am currently finishing up the application process at University of Miami. When I spoke with the admissions office I was told that if you meet the requirements (which I do) you would automatically get an interview. This was great to hear but ...

Fingers crossed that's how my interview goes. Telling them about myself and my experience is easy for me. I am pretty well rounded for only having 2 years under my belt. I just want to be ready for anything just in case they do throw some questions a...

Thank you! That is a good idea, and I did not think about hospice care. I also spoke with some of the people at my work and they recommended taking my 4 weeks of vacation at once and doing a travel assignment. As much as I would like to relax on that...
