  1. Are nursing classes team taught?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to johndough's topic in General Students

    I have had 3 teacher teach one class before. I had an adult/peds mixed class and there was one teacher for adult content and two for peds. I've also had just 2 teachers teach one class. I honestly...

  2. Feeling Discouraged, Please help me

    FL_Nurse92 replied to Beautiful_Soul's topic in General Students

    I think flashcards are a huge waste of time and energy. They worked great for prereqs but once I was in nursing school, the amount of time it took to make flashcards on all the content I had to know...

  3. Feeling Discouraged, Please help me

    FL_Nurse92 replied to Beautiful_Soul's topic in General Students

    honestly I think that happens to most nursing students, the material gets harder, grades get lower yet you put the same effort in if not more! I started off making flashcards in nursing school which...

  4. I Think I'm Pregnant

    FL_Nurse92 replied to shira9021's topic in General Students

    Personally if you only have 2 more clinical days the teacher you have now, won't be the one you need to talk to... your teachers next semester will be the ones to have that conversation with although...

  5. Bedside report - hate it? Like it? Love it?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    That's not to say you can't peak in on your patient, introduce yourself and say hi. Also in the ICU you have what, 2 patients? And yes half of them are intubated and essentially asleep. Believe me,...

  6. Interview Questions: Phone & In Person

    FL_Nurse92 replied to JPChi's topic in General Nursing

    I have done phone, Skype, and interviews in person and they pretty much all asked most of the same questions unless the unit I interviewed for was specific to cardiac, neuro, etc. They want to know...

  7. Bedside report - hate it? Like it? Love it?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    My facility also does bedside shift report. The only reason I don't like it is because yes it makes report so much longer than it should be, it forces us to squeeze 2 computers and at times 4 nurses...

  9. StaRN residency programs in Florid

    FL_Nurse92 replied to runner502's topic in Florida Nursing

    Look into florida hospital residency programs. I interviewed at both the orlando and tampa locations and decided on the tampa location. I started off at $24 and some change an hour. Plus night shift...

    FL_Nurse92 replied to Lildreamer101's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I know many people who have gotten into BSN programs with less than an A... sometimes less than a B! These programs look at more than grades. They want to know you are a good fit for their program....

  12. I feel like my nursing dream....

    FL_Nurse92 replied to Lildreamer101's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    no problem! keep in mind there are students who have A's in all sciences that don't get into programs. A lot goes into the selection process, grades just being one factor. Never lose

  13. I feel like my nursing dream....

    FL_Nurse92 replied to Lildreamer101's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    you can re take the course if you would like, I would suggest doing your best in the rest of your science classes. I've known people to get into programs with a C in a science

  14. What should I do? Passion down, no goals

    FL_Nurse92 replied to RunawayN's topic in General Nursing

    I have multiple nurse friends that did there 2 years at the bedside and went back to school. It will obviously depend on the school but 2 years is a minimum

  15. What should I do? Passion down, no goals

    FL_Nurse92 replied to RunawayN's topic in General Nursing

    If you aren't happy where you're at in your career then change something. You have enough experience to go back to school, whether it be to get you MSN or whatever. Get some experience in the ICU and...

  16. Care Plan HELP!

    FL_Nurse92 replied to 3rdshift098's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    #10 is ok, the others need some work. Try to limit your "risk for's" and also try to shorten your "related to's". Like related to not having glasses can come off all together. Make sure your diagnosis...

  18. Health Assessment Help

    FL_Nurse92 replied to Chance25's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't say nursing isn't for everyone, I'd say nursing tests aren't for everyone. It's definitely a different ball game from prereqs. I'm surprised knowing your head to toe assesment wasn't a...

  20. Breaks

    FL_Nurse92 replied to LetsFixNursing's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Although I don't believe nonsmokers should take a longer break, it almost makes sense for a smoker to have to clock out. It's just like insurance. I know for the insurance I have, smokers pay more for...

    You don't need connections to find a job you will like. Do your research. look up hospitals in the area, read the reviews, see what specialties the hospitals contain, any awards won, or national...

  23. Advice needed!!!!

    FL_Nurse92 replied to futurenurse0989's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It honestly depends on you current exam grades and how bad you are failing. You have to be realistic and honest with yourself. For instance (in worse case scenario) If you need a 90 on the rest of...

  24. Should I even be a nurse?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to hshuang's topic in School, College Programs

    Maybe you should consider a new friend who supports you and lifts you up when things get tough. Anatomy is just a harder class because it's something you obviously need to know to be a nurse as...

  25. Breaks

    FL_Nurse92 replied to blackribbon's topic in Medical-Surgical

    well on my unit we only take 4 patients so when i am watching patients while another nurse is on break I technically have 8. The good thing is that our breaks are only 15 minutes and no one goes on...
