    FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    SweetSouthernLove replied to Beatrice91's topic in Florida Nursing

    I really think its a drag that the newcomers have to take a HESI when we had to take the NAT. Granted I feel like after reading the posts here that the HESI might be more organized and allow for more...

    When To Cut Back?

    SweetSouthernLove posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Currently having a dilemma. I work for my main employer at .6 FTE which is 2 12 hour shifts per week. I also may start working with a new hospital at a .9 FTE which is 3 12 hour shifts per week. This...

    When To Cut Back?

    SweetSouthernLove replied to SweetSouthernLove's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I did actually respectfully decline to interview this morning. It wasn't what I wanted to do - sure the interview would have been great practice, but I really was turned off by this Assistant Nurse...

    What crosses your mind when you see elaborate help wanted ads for RNs in news...

    SweetSouthernLove replied to hope3456's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like there may be a lengthy contract for that exchange of the 5k. And if you survive whatever length that is, hopefully you will not be running out the door because of staffing issues,...

    FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    SweetSouthernLove replied to Beatrice91's topic in Florida Nursing

    I honestly think work and school is unique for everyone. What might work for someone else may not work for you. I know I will be working minimum of 2 nights per week at my part-time job to keep my...

    FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    SweetSouthernLove replied to Beatrice91's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have researched some of the private colleges because of the nurses whom I work with have obtained degrees from them due to the no waiting factor. The biggest issue with them is that most are...

    SweetSouthernLove replied to Beatrice91's topic in Florida Nursing

    Beatrice91 - I did take out loans at UNF so that is where I have been trying to get in the BSN program. So far no luck so I tried FSCJ also. I really want to be involved in surgical services/OR...

    SweetSouthernLove posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello All - This is my current situation. I currently hold an A.A. degree in General Studies, and I wanted to obtain a BSN at my current university. The problem is that it has taken almost 2 years for...

    SweetSouthernLove replied to moya90210's topic in New York Nursing

    https://nursing.nyu.edu/admissions/undergraduate I am not sure which program, but usually they always have a policy in place for prerequisite courses still in process and how to submit that with your...

    Rude CNAs

    SweetSouthernLove replied to virgo_baby!'s topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I sincerely apologize for this happening to you. I am a CNA and on my unit I also deal with older CNAs feeling the need to be bossy, get things done "the fastest" (a direct quote from one of the CNAs...

    FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    SweetSouthernLove replied to Beatrice91's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just a curious question - Has anyone made sort of a back up plan if they don't get accepted? This will be my second associates degree so I won't be heart broken if I don't get selected due to the fact...

    Can a shy person be a good CNA?

    SweetSouthernLove replied to Angela89's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I also dealt with this issue working in a huge hospital dealing with other CNA's (that all have different personalities), doctors, residents, and many nurses. This profession is completely engulfed in...

    Three 12's or 4 10's?

    SweetSouthernLove replied to hakunamatata's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If I was in your position I would definitely take the 4 10's over the 3 12's any day. WannaBNursey is right when it comes to those 12 hour shifts - they usually turn into 13, 14, or even 16 hour...

    Overworked, Tired, and Sleepy

    SweetSouthernLove replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    I work part-time night shift and go to school during the daytime. Honestly, if there are other students, pre-nursing, nursing, BSN or otherwise, balancing your life becomes the main goal. I have had...
