  1. My Recent Trip To Florida

    MB37 replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Florida Nursing

    I live in Tampa currently, although I'm only a nursing student. I've only been in FL 1.5 years, so have no experience in other citites. However, the property tax thing is mostly true. There was a very...

  2. College Chem and Organic Bio Chem... & PSY majors read

    MB37 replied to Gannon1qb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Quantitative methods counted for my stat course, I just had to get my old school to fax over a syllabus. (It was actually called "experimental design and quantitative research methods," but it's the...

  3. What do you feel is least relevant class?

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

    A lot of these depend on the person. I had to take Comp II last semester, b/c my current nursing program requires 6 credits of it, while the school I earned my first degree from only required one...

  4. Clinical Sites in Tampa

    MB37 replied to MB37's topic in Florida Nursing

    We had orientation April 10, classes start May 14, and Match Day is May 15. I'm starting to get the idea that the accelerated program is a bit of a "work in progress," no? Mabye in 10 years everyone...

  5. Clinical Sites in Tampa

    MB37 replied to MB37's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yeah, I'm not sure about that - our orientation wasn't divided into regular and accelerated programs, and it seemed like most presentations were just about upper division and couldn't even answer...

  6. Clinical Sites in Tampa

    MB37 replied to MB37's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks! I live in very South Tampa, so getting to Bayfront wouldn't be awful either. I was thinking of putting them on my list, since I think most students live in Tampa. Plus my DH wants to move...

  7. Pregnant in Nursing school

    MB37 replied to nathansmom06's topic in General Nursing

    Jenni - my DH and I have had a similar talk, and I posed a question here several months ago. I wasn't sure whether having a baby during my first year out would be harder than having one in school. I...

  8. HI, what's the latest you've stayed up studying for a test or exam?

    MB37 replied to nautica843's topic in General Nursing

    I routinely pulled allnighters in high school, and stayed up well over 40 straight more than once working on my first degree. I always made good grades, but I also had to make sure I had the time to...

  9. Would love some advice!

    MB37 replied to CaitRN2be's topic in General Nursing

    Some schools just have weird requirements too - I had to take American Government and Sociology to apply to LSU, despite the fact that my previous degree was a double major in history and psych. Now,...

  10. Orientation

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

    Thanks! It doesn't feel soon to me though - I started my prereqs 3 years ago, so I'm ready to start NS

  11. Nursing Student HATES Nursing Assistant Job

    MB37 replied to PeachyERNurse's topic in General Students

    futurnurse - do you mind saying where you do your clinicals? I start USF in May, and I think we have to choose pretty early in the semester. Did you get your first choice? Only one (TGH) is remotely...

  12. Orientation

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

    My orientation was April 10 for NS that starts May 14. I wish they would have told us more! They had all incoming students together, so info wasn't specific to upper division/accelerated. They also...

  13. Nursing schools in Tampa area

    MB37 replied to dejones3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got accepted to USF's accelerated program, which has a slightly lower GPA requirement than the upper division - more like 3.5 altogether. Of course, you'd have to finish another degree first. Who...

  14. Disrespectful to instructor....

    MB37 replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kasia, you ask for respect from others and then insult me. I have no reason to lie to anyone, and have many of my own reasons to not apply to medical school. I don't believe I insulted you in my post,...

  15. Disrespectful to instructor....

    MB37 replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduated from an inner city public high school 10 years ago. I received an international baccalaureate diploma and took several AP courses. My first semester in college I took Calculus 3, among...

  16. Any others trying to quit smoking?

    MB37 replied to AddyRN07's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I tried the patch a few years ago and had every negative side effect listed. I threw up frequently (didn't mean to lose weight by quitting smoking), and then one night at work my heart started racing,...

  17. Gardasil: has your daughter had this vaccine?

    MB37 replied to Morgan314's topic in General Nursing

    I just wrote a research paper on Gardasil/Cervarix (another vax awaiting FDA approval), so I can clear up a couple of things. They are currently testing Gardasil on men, on my campus actually. It has...

  18. Stethoscope?

    MB37 replied to Coco06's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    How important is it to spend a lot of money on one? The info sheet I got from Littmann offers them from around $50 up to well over $100. If we've never used one, we don't really understand single vs....

  19. Too poor to become a nurse?

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

    kasia - you should still fill out a FAFSA. You may not be eligible to receive a Pell Grant to go for a second degree of the same level, but you should be able to receive loans. They'll be at a better...

  20. Why do you want to be a nurse?

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

    I'm a bartender with a previous degree. I majored in something that's fairly unemployable, and tended bar through school. I graduated in 2001, and never wanted to take the serious pay cut that an...

  21. Which AP Class?

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

    I HATE that my current school doesn't have cadavers. We don't even have cats. Our labs are only online, and we never get to even look at a model. At my old school, flooded by Katrina, we had cadavers....

  22. Rampant Cheating

    MB37 replied to nycNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Purple - I know how you feel. In my nutrition class, our first exam was easy - the class averaged an A, and I got 100. The second exam, however, was much harder. I got a 94, but the class average was...

  23. BS in Chem, Quickest path to RN?

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

    And for any program, you'll probably have at least a year of prereqs, depending on what they accept from your old degree and what they require on top of those. Accelerated programs may be the fastest...

  24. should i have questioned it??

    MB37 replied to kell1566's topic in General Nursing

    A thought I had while reading this - I have prehypertension, and my NP tried a few types of drugs to bring it down. We tried Lisinopril, and I got horribly dizzy, to the point of barely being able to...

  25. changing last name on RN license after marriage

    MB37 replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    My last name is hard to spell and pronounce, so I switched to my husband's very easy one. I just figured it would make life easier, and it really had no emotional significance for me. A couple I am...
