Focus&Determine

Okay, thanks.

For a person who live out of state, how can a person get information because the site is no help at all. Deadlines and the such...please help. Thanks.

I'm currently in the LPN program hoping I would have enough time to apply for the Spring 2018 Transition/Bridge option, which the deadline is September 1st. I have the HESI book and I have already completed all of my prerequisites. In regards to the Nursing Skills Update Course NRG-051, is it required to be taken and completed before we apply to the program?

Oh wow...5 grand for relocation? I never heard of that...they must have really liked you. Good for you. Enjoy Tampa, its really beautiful out there.

@Bogey123 Good for you...it also depends where you live and how well you do during the interview process, by negotiating salary (that's what I've been told).

I'm currently in Boston but my immediate family lives in Melbourne as well. I'm in the process of completing the same degree within the same time frame as you. I lived in Melbourne and I loved it, I also worked at Wuestoff for a couple of years before I decided to pursue nursing. In Boston hospital don't hire ADN graduates, but I know that the Health First and Health System medical centers hire ADN graduates.

Being a PCA in a hospital setting is for the thick-skinned (IMO). Once you get on your unit, get report from the other aid and begin your vitals and finger sticks because once the Nurses are done getting report frist thing their going to need is that information. Distractions may come in the way like a call light, a patient needing assistance, discharging a patient out at the last minute for the pervious shift, transporting a patient, picking up the slack from the previous shift, a code, and etc., all while taking vitals. I had my moments and their where a few times where I told a few of them to step outside because I didn't want to be disrespected or disrespectful in front of the patients and/or staffs...There are some that may try to test you, but you have to stand firm and abrasive against the storm. There are the Nurses who really don't try to be mean or rude, its just the pressure that their under. Give your best 12 hours and leave it there at the end of your shift.

I sent you a PM...

Okay, I'll do so now....thanks.

I found out on Christmas Eve which was nice. I applied for the spring 2015 evening start.

I received my Christmas gift from RCC of my Acceptance and I am so Happy...Thank you God!

Was the class difficult because the school is asking for a 90% to pass that class.

Oh okay, thanks. All this time I assumed that you were starting the program in the Winter 2015. What days were your clinicals? Since you completed level, 1 would you have any tips you would like to share that you learned along the way. Thanks.

Congratulations! Best of luck...if you have any tips you came share that will be helpful, please feel free to share.
