    LaurenJulia replied to TheVitalRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    LaurenJulia replied to PS1CK's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm a little under a year away from being done with nursing school, and I want to be a psych nurse. I'm a CNA on a neuro unit, and I have no doubt for my love for those with silent problems they are...

    Does anyone know what the uniforms look like this year? I found a couple of white scrubs tops with the UCF logo at Goodwill and snapped them up, but I don't know if that was a

    LaurenJulia replied to Joyful14's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thank you for calling!! Does anyone else wonder why this process takes so long? If they only go by our GPA, pre-req GPA, and TEAs score, it seems like a computer program could determine which stats...

    LaurenJulia replied to Joyful14's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm sure they're used to it by now. I know people call every year. My personal guess is we won't hear this week. If the past few years are any indication, we'll be lucky if we hear back by October...

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

    If you are actually out of work at 3, in some long term care and assisted living facilities second shift runs from 3-11. You could also work weekends, easy. They always need weekends. I think home...

    LaurenJulia replied to Joyful14's topic in Florida Nursing

    I second kaylalala's question. Also, how long are clinical days? Do we stay for that nurses full shift, and if so do they tend to be 12 hours or 8

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

    Hi mindofmidwifery! I work first shift mostly, and I enjoy it because it goes by super fast and I'm done with work by 2. I started out as a new CNA at this time and managed it, but honestly second...

    LaurenJulia replied to Joyful14's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think they say the typical is something like six times the applicants for the spots they have. Try calling them, though. Let us know what they say!

  21. CNA hospital interview

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

    Congrats! Don't worry about your lack of experience. They already know about it, if it were a problem you wouldn't have the interview. I've never interviewed at a hospital, but I landed my first CNA...

    ANHH, last year someone got in with an 80% TEAs and a 3.2 Overall GPA. Their prereq was a 4.0, but the stats are pretty close to yours. I wouldn't give up hope
