I am a charge on a busy cardiac/tele/stroke unit that can see up to 11-12 admissions at night when I am on shift. I always have a full assignment and have to do all the charge duties. It is absolutely unsafe and unfair to my patients to have a charge...

Hey, everybody! I am an RN working on a cardiac/tele unit and I originally trained on post-op. A little over a year of experience. I applied for the Adult-gero/occupational health concurrent MS program pretty close to the deadline because I was waiti...

Hello! I am applying for the Fall 2015 smester in the Second Degree sequence and I wanted to see who is out there that can give me some advice or commiserate! I am so nervous about my essay... Their instructions are slightly vague and I am unsure o...

It's definitely a tumultuous love/hate relationship. But I in no way regret it and we've all grown so much! I never thought I would come this far this fast and I cannot wait for preceptorship :) Medsurg was challenging in the best way and I feel read...

Let me just say that some professors change your life and make you a better nurse, while others widdle you down and add unnecessary stress to your life. It's a mixed bag, but overall you get good people. Clinicals are the best part in my opinion! Tha...

Some insight for you: this program is a kick in the pants! It is pretty frustrating at times due to a lack of organization and very high expectations without enough guidance. With that being said, it is possible to thrive if you cohere with team memb...

Tay, MEDIC is right! The only aspect of your application that you can control is your essay and it shows the judges who you are and whether or not you are motivated enough to endure the program. My personal advice is to not only share what experience...

My unit at Tampa General has hired people with no experience. I have been a CNA for three years but no hospital experience and they hired me. Check out their job listings for anything on 5A (cardiac observation/telemetry). I work an 5A2 and it is pre...

Okay, besides Reanna, who is everyone and what are you clinical teams? I'm in St. Joe's with Reanna :)

Same boat. I had to take it twice, so I went through Hades two times

Congrats!!! That outfit sounds good. I will be in a pencil skirt, a ruffled top, and heels. So excited!

So excited for Friday!

Congrats, Mika! Looking forward to meeting you as well :)

Welcome, Tardersauce! So excited to meet you. We can have each other's backs! You can do it!

"Don't you look at me like that, Joe. You know that I am covered in MRSA and my feet hurt!"

Welcome Reanna ! Hope to meet you at orientation!

Thank you! I know, right? I can't wait to get my hands on those goodies. The scrubs are so cute.

So excited! Good job you guys :) I wish I had made it the first time, but I'm more seasoned now, lol. It feels great to finally be in.

My bad, I am going to USF in the Fall.

I just got accepted! I know a little bit about it since my partner just graduated the generic program and she knew some second bacs. It is squished into four semesters as opposed to 5. In one semester, I will have 3 clinicals... Other than that, it d...

Don't worry- I thought it was strange that nobody had made a thread about this yet either. That's why I started one for the ABSN. I just heard back from the CON, so you guys might be finding out soon! I hope to meet some of you at Orientation :) Just...

Congratulations!!! I just found out that I got into the program I have been applying to for 2 years. I am so excited and I imagine you must be too. Best of luck!

What team are you on?

I see. What other hospitals do they assign to second bacs?

I am so happy for you folks :) can't wait to meet my new family! I hear that second bac people only get assigned to TGH? Is that true?
