  2. A school with no wait list-Have you heard of it?

    MB37 replied to Nurse-One's topic in General Students

    LSU and Delgado/Charity in New Orleans have no wait lists. USF and Hillsborough Community College in Tampa don't either. They're all public, so relatively inexpensve, and you can apply any federal aid...

  3. anyone try to test out of anatomy?

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

    I haven't taken the test, but I say go for it! Worst case scenario: you have to take the class after all. Will you find out your score in time to register for the class if necessary? I met my Bio 101...

  4. How can we prepare for nursing school?

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

    If you take a CPR class, most nursing schools require the American Heart Association's BLS for healthcare providers course. Go to the AHA's website and you can look up places in your zip code that...

  7. nurse shortage but difficult entry?

    MB37 replied to goldie66's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school just added a second accelerated program, but they won't have classroom space or instructors until next semester. As a result, my pharm and patho classes each have 110 people and 88 chairs....

  9. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    MB37 replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    CF - USF is very competitive, but what I was trying to explain is that you don't need to ever wait for admission. They get 11 applicants for every seat - problem is that the vast majority of those...

  10. Aspiring Nurses: Why not Med School??

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

    Out of curiosity, I looked up the requirements for admission to the med school at my university. You need a 3.0 and a 24 on your MCAT, although students usually average a 3.7 and a 30. As far as...

    I dated a guy once that was 5' 4"... (married a 6' 3" guy

  12. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    MB37 replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    CF - you pretty much have to do similar prereqs everywhere, even if they're "included" in the cost or even in the nursing program. I go to USF, and the entire accelerated BSN will cost me about...

  13. Plus size nursing students

    MB37 replied to nurse2btracy's topic in General Students

    future L&D, apnea, thanks! Yeah, my inseam is 34, and that's hard enough to find in anything - but at least I only had to go to 2 malls the last time I wanted a new pair of Levi's. I can't imagine...

  14. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    MB37 replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    Central Florida - where do you live? If you're near Tampa, you have no reason to pay for a private school. Neither HCC nor USF do wait lists, you just have to have good grades and all your pre-reqs...

  15. Plus size nursing students

    MB37 replied to nurse2btracy's topic in General Students

    Suzy mentioned something that I hadn't thought of - I'm not plus-sized (yet, but haven't so much been working out since NS started) but I am 6 feet tall. There are only 2 brands of jeans that fit me,...

  16. No Peds courses in nursing program...vent!

    MB37 replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    At my school (ABSN) we do have a whole semester of psych. However, our final semester is "integrated": OB/Peds/Women's Health, Leadership/Community Heath, and Preceptorship. All of that in 10 weeks....

  17. Best options!?!

    MB37 replied to Miss C's topic in General Nursing

    I have a degree in psych and have the same goal. I am currently in an accelerated second bachelors degree program for nursing, which takes 15 months. Prereqs took me 2 years, but that's because I...

  18. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    MB37 replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    The low $20/hr figures are generally base pay, I believe. If you work evening/weekend/have special certifications or experince, you get differentials which can bump you up by several dollars per hour....

  19. More dress code questions

    MB37 replied to Ignatious's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of places have policies on no visible tattoos. A general rule of thumb, when you're going out to get new tats, is to get them somewhere that you have the ability to cover them up if necessary if...

  20. For those who have already gotten in

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

    My school (in FL) has several ways to enter the BSN program. You can do accelerated, regular upper division (transfer into the CON from undergrad at the same school, a CC, or anywhere else as long as...

  21. HOURS of Nursing Jobs

    MB37 replied to googs's topic in General Nursing

    Quick thing to check - go to a few local hospitals' websites. They probably have available jobs listed online (although they probably will not list a pay rate), with qualifications including level of...

  22. Any info on IL vs FL pay scale?

    MB37 replied to mszar's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yeah, there's no state income tax. We just make up for it with extremely high sales taxes and a property tax system that heavily penalizes people from out of state, second home owners, renters, and...

    MB37 replied to mydee's topic in Florida Nursing

    I grew up in Minneapolis, although I left 10 years ago. I moved to New Orleans where I worked on my first degree, and absolutely loved it there. The weather was great, until we had that little storm...

  24. Please tell me your studying schedule.

    MB37 replied to ONEGR8MOM's topic in General Students

    One of my big things is to switch subjects frequently so I don't get bored with one - read a chapter to pharm, take notes on a chapter of patho, do my ethical/legal module and quiz, work on pharm...

  25. **Long Sigh**

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

    Was the C in lab only? So it's only one credit? A lot of schools won't replace your grades, they'll just average them, and other schools will but only up to a maximum number of retakes throughout...
