The feeling you get after successfully starting an IV on a patient who is a hard stick.

Knock knock. Hello, My name is Chase. You're new here right? I heard this is your first year teaching Fundamentals of Nursing. I teach Med Surg. I taught fundamentals a couple of years ago. Would you like a copy of my lesson plans and PowerPoints.

Hi I'm the float nurse. Can anyone tell me which patients I'll be getting?

Nurse: Hi Doctor my patient is throwing IV poles, urine and feces at us. He is also threatening to kill us. Can we have an order for restraints? Doctor: I don't think that would be in the patient's best interest. Restraints should be a last reso...

Scooby Dooby Doo. Where are you? We got some work to do now.

Me: Son? Son: Yes? Me: I am going to take Lucky outside now. With all this farting Lucky is doing, he is liable to take out your new wife. Son: **sniffs sniffs** mom, I agree. Hurry before it spreads. ***Son, closes the delivery room door and retu...

The look that everyone gives that one coworker who keeps asking questions that makes the meeting go over the allotted time.

I was also granted an interview. I am so excited-and nervous.

@Quimara22 CNA definitely counts. Growing up, I wanted to be a Family Physician, but as I grew older nursing appeared to be a better fit. I too desired the emotional and physical connection that many nurses share with their patients. Oh, I have my CN...

I‘m just curious. Do any of you have experience in health care? Did you always want to be a nurse?

Hello taytay99, Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Prospective students visit this site all the time, and I‘m sure that your post helped them a lot. Hopefully, they can learn from your mistake-all of our mistakes.

Hello Ladies and Gents, I just received a confirmation email from Famu's SON saying that they received my application.

Hi Neonate! Welcome to the discussion. To answer your question, not including your high school transcript could definitely hurt your chances of getting in. The committee may look at it as you not being able to follow directions. By any chance, does y...

@Preddy J, CNA Thanks for returning to the site to answer some of our questions. My first question is about classes. What classes are you taking?Also, could you tell us about any interesting experiences that you've had this semester as a nursing stud...

Wow, I just noticed that this thread has already reached over 500 views. I wonder if the site records Ip addresses to calculate this number. I'm sure that some applicants maybe using different computers when viewing this site..that's something to thi...

Hello Ladies, I see that I am a little late to the discussion. I am also Reapplying. I'm praying that I am admitted into Famu's College of Nursing this time around. October 15th will be here before we know it. I am as nervous as I was when I first ap...

By the way, I am a transfer student.

Hello @ Prince_Ayinde. Welcome to the discussion. Good luck to those who have Interviews next week. I'm curious to know how many transfer students and how many Famu students were given interviews. I was told that in a lot of cases Famu's SON gives p...

@Medicalgirl2011 Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer our questions. Do you recall which semester nursing students are expected to begin going off site (FAMU's Campus) for clinicals. Also, Do you remember what the $700 that ...

@KeenaBeena88 I'm so sorry to hear that. I was rooting for you. No worries, though. With your personality, you'll be admitted when you reapply next term. Once this week is over with and they've finished calling/emailing everyone, stop by Mrs. Tellis'...

I have a 3.6 GPA

I just received a call from Mrs.Tellis . Good Luck, Ladies

@Keenabeena That's a relief because $3000 is nothing to sneeze at. If I hear or see anything else, I'll keep y'all posted. By the way, does anyone know how many credit hours nursing students take during the first semester? I've heard 13 from some and...

Hello Ladies, Today, I was reviewing a thread that was created by a spring 2014 applicant. In that thread, I came across a comment from a current nursing student that said something along the lines of during the first semester we will be paying arou...

Good Afternoon Ladies, Around 11:30am, I received a confirmation email from Famu's CON saying that they received my application. You all may want to check your emails.
