    frequentFLyER posted a topic in Emergency

    frequentFLyER replied to ixchel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You guys would be so mad with the lab if they called every time there was a duplicate that was cancelled. They do a lot of cleaning up of doc's orders believe it or not. I totally get what you're...

    frequentFLyER replied to ixchel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    frequentFLyER replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    frequentFLyER replied to jaxbax92's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes I'm in the program and was horribly nervous last summer also! Send good vibes out into the universe, it sounds like all of you are excellent candidates. They look at both GPA and TEAS so if one...

  18. CRNA Admission chances?

    frequentFLyER replied to ONE-TWO--'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't think the OP indicated hesitation in applying. They even said they're willing to discuss previous hiccups with a committee. I think they just needed a confidence boost that they have a shot!...

    frequentFLyER replied to tsipareht's topic in Florida Nursing

    For those of you that have applied, where did you find the CCNIP application? I don't see it on job boards except for experienced RN's. Any internal hires on here? Did anyone with an ASN get accepted...

    I emailed University of North Florida on this matter because I was considering RN to MSN with my non-nursing Bachelor's. They didn't say specifically that they would decline someone that does the MSN...

    frequentFLyER replied to LifeIsGood76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    About four or five years ago I worked as a phlebotomist and was thinking of doing nursing but saw the same things. The nurses looked miserable so I spent up until now trying to figure it out and how...

  24. What can I do to secure a job as a new grad?

    frequentFLyER posted a topic in General Students

    It seems like everywhere wants at least 1-2 years RN experience so how did you land your new grad position? Is it just all "who you know?" Although I'm not close to graduation, I want to start doing...

  25. What can I do to secure a job as a new grad?

    frequentFLyER replied to frequentFLyER's topic in General Students
