  1. disruptive students

    MB37 replied to gigi15's topic in General Students

    I wish it was easier to sit in the front row at my school - at least half the classes I've had have more students that seats, so you have to get there at least 15 minutes early to get a chair. I think...

  2. Moving to Florida

    MB37 replied to Eppstacy's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm a nursing student in Tampa and relatively new to the area (and the state - 1.5 years). If we had a choice we would never have left Louisiana, but we had that little storm two years ago...What...

  3. Interesting Piece of Info From an Advisor

    MB37 replied to Spartan05's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just a thought - what about the accelerated program at MSU? I just checked, out of curiosity, and it's only 3 semesters (1 year). That would cut down on the cost, especially since you'll have to pay...

  4. Usually an A student--got a C on 1st exam

    MB37 replied to veronica123's topic in General Students

    If you haven't yet, buy a NCLEX review book or a few. It doesn't matter so much which one, but I like to have a few different varieties. I have 2 that are mainly NCLEX style questions (Saunders and...

  5. Do FL schools take NC credits?

    MB37 replied to lnzjean's topic in Florida Nursing

    I transferred credits into USF's accelerated program from two different universities in Louisiana. They took every credit and I had no problem transferring prereqs as such. I also successfully...

  6. Wow, my blood pressure is kinda high!

    MB37 replied to marilynmom's topic in Health, Stress Management

    You sound like you're doing a lot right already. I have HTN as well, am 28 and in good shape, and eat a healthy,low-sodium, high potassium diet. Both my parents are thin and they both have it as well....

  7. Do you work night clinicals?

    MB37 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    I wish...all of ours are early in the morning, for 4 semesters. I think for psych we may get to sleep in - and not come in until 0800, what a treat. I'd rather go later, then I could study before I go...

  8. I am so upset!

    MB37 replied to lashon20's topic in General Students

    My school allows us to rank our options - although with 3 different programs options are limited - and then to write down any special circumstances or reasons why we want our first choice, as well as...

  9. I am so upset!

    MB37 replied to lashon20's topic in General Students

    I bought my first car at the age of 26. My parents couldn't afford to buy one for me as a kid, and neither could I as an adult. I took public transportation most of the time, and a few cabs a month...

  10. hours

    MB37 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What is a typical week like as a CRNA? What type of hours do you work? How much on-call is involved? How easy is it to juggle career and family? I'm currently working on my BSN and have a 4.0 (so far,...

  11. How did you pay for nursing school?

    MB37 replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    2nd degree student here, so I'm ineligible for grants. I paid cash for all my prereqs and for semester I, but I'm taking out loans for the next 4. I'm working very part time, and my husband works too,...

  12. Living While in CRNA School

    MB37 replied to sonofsatan24's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm in Florida right now, probably will apply to a couple of schools in my area as well as in New Orleans where we're from and would be willing to move back. I'm sure you have to do some research into...

  13. DNP required soon?

    MB37 replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    So my husband and I can be Dr. and Mr. Lastname?

  14. Living While in CRNA School

    MB37 replied to sonofsatan24's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was planning on having a hospital pay for my CRNA education - does that not happen anymore? I'm still working on my BSN, but I was planning on going on a few years after I graduate...I thought you...

  15. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    MB37 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    ...well, if George W. Bush uses poor grammar on a regular basis, it must be OK! I'm sure no one has ever accused him of being unintelligent, or of being less than qualified for his current occupation....

  16. Professional courtesy from police at traffic stops

    MB37 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    On "Get out of jail free" cards: in a city that shall remain nameless, my husband had two very close friends on the PD - both stood in our wedding. DH also I believe still carries in his wallet a card...

  17. 2nd degree students: How are you paying?

    MB37 replied to LuckyMe2g's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am one semester into an accelerated program, and I received loans no problem. Have you actually applied? We are not eligible for any GRANTS from the government when working on a second degree at the...

  18. Any Accelerated BSN programs in Ocala??

    MB37 replied to hopeful84's topic in Florida Nursing

    I really like the professors at USF, as well as my classmates. Administration on the other hand...The accelerated program is supposed to be 4 semesters, but they have just decided - after semester I...

  19. Drug testing?

    MB37 replied to Mike1974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We don't have to take a drug test at my school. However, most if not all hospitals require one as a part of pre-employment screening. Once you have the job, from what RN friends have told me, you...

  20. ?? for long-haired female nurses/student! How do you wear your hair at the hospital?

    MB37 replied to Athenas83's topic in General Nursing

    My hair comes down past the waistband of my pants, so I asked my clinical instructor for advice. Our school's policy is only that it must be pulled back, and in real life I normally wear it in a long...

  21. How smart are you?

    MB37 replied to psycteach's topic in General Nursing

    I'm about to start my second semester of NS, and had a 4.0 in prereqs and in my first ABSN semester. I was also high school valedictorian, 90+ percentile on standardized tests, and earned a full...

  22. Have any moms skipped ADN and went BSN?

    MB37 replied to JBGC4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's even a whole forum on here devoted to ADN vs. BSN, and you might want to go there and learn a little more about the differences. One thing though - getting your BSN as an entry-level nursing...

  23. Any Accelerated BSN programs in Ocala??

    MB37 replied to hopeful84's topic in Florida Nursing

    USF and Miami have accelerated programs also, and so far as I know that's it for FL - at public schools at least. Check the requirements for each, apply to a few, and when you get in you may want to...

  24. What do you think of Tampa General ?

    MB37 replied to SapphireRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I heard they just added more parking for staff, and that it will be

  25. What are the best BLACK PENS

    MB37 replied to dark10gable's topic in General Students

    I actually love the really cheap Bic or store brand ball points, and won't use gel or uni-ball pens. Whatever you get though (for classes), make sure that it either has a grip, or but one of those...
