  1. New RN Grad- need job advice

    FL_Nurse92 replied to mangosoccer11's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say any hospital job can be stressful at times no matter what unit you're on. I could see a nursing home being less stressful or even a school nurse if you want to give that a try but you will...

  3. Note taking in class....how do you do it.

    FL_Nurse92 replied to Valcorie34's topic in General Students

    I typed my notes in class and recorded the lecture on my phone. That same night I would listen to my lecture and type up anything I missed in class. By that time I had seen the information 3 times....

  4. What is it like to practice RN in Florida

    FL_Nurse92 replied to babysRusRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    ok.... malpractice occurs across all 50 states. Unless your friend has worked in every hospital in FL how could they possibly know what occurs in each setting. It is up to you to protect you license!...

  5. RN degree requirements in MD area?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to E8154's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    When applying for a job, wherever it may be, if you read the description and requirements of the job, it usually says BSN required if that is the case. If it does not specify you can call HR or the...

  6. Moving

    FL_Nurse92 replied to 1Bigmomma's topic in General Nursing

    Well first you apply for the job/position you want and get you license endorsed. The FLBON lists the steps of endorsement on their website but being 3 years out, I wouldn't worry about either of...

  7. California license question?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to srat81's topic in General Nursing

    When applying for license endorsement, they don't look at your transcripts... they simply verify that you have a valid license and clear background

  8. 1 year & 1 summer course complete of prereqs

    FL_Nurse92 replied to zullyzoo's topic in Texas Nursing

    I loved online classes! Allowed me to get ahead on my work and coast at the end of the semester. I also took a number of hybrid classes where it was mostly online and you meet in the classroom a few...

  9. Experience for attaining a job after graduation?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to CTN91's topic in General Students

    Oh okay, sorry I misunderstood. But still I honestly think you will be fine without becoming a CNA. Like it was mentioned, you will still be a new grad with no RN

  10. New grad looking for ICU position

    FL_Nurse92 replied to widmaerjm's topic in Critical Care

    The program length is 16 weeks and I have been to my floor choices twice this far. This week will be my 3rd time in each floor. This coming Friday I will be chosen on one floor and remain there for...

  11. What hospitals in NYC hire Associate Degree RNs?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to xxMichelleJxx's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to do your research on NY hospitals hiring nurses with associate degrees and even reach out to the nurse managers there via email. Also, as far as I know LPN experience does

  12. Experience for attaining a job after graduation?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to CTN91's topic in General Students

    Most new grads don't have experience and really aren't expected to. I had no experience at all and had no problem landing multiple job offers. If you want to do extra on top of all the nursing school...

  13. New grad looking for ICU position

    FL_Nurse92 replied to widmaerjm's topic in Critical Care

    I am in the nurse residency program at Florida Hospital in Tampa. It is not geared specifically for the ICU but will get your foot in the door and possibly even in the ICU. Upon entering the program...

  14. 1 year & 1 summer course complete of prereqs

    FL_Nurse92 replied to zullyzoo's topic in Texas Nursing

    They probably won't care about changing schools. As for your GPA, try your hardest to get it as high as possible. Pretty sure you need at least a 3.0 to get in to most programs if not

  15. Topics to review before starting my program?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to dragonh4t's topic in General Students

    Unless you were told to review content I would say just to relax and enjoy your time off. Once school starts up you will wish you had this time to rest without worrying about studying or school

  16. How old were you when you became an RN?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to flowerlilly's topic in Illinois Nursing

    22. No matter the age, never give up on you

    FL_Nurse92 replied to tjhart69's topic in General Nursing

    I started at Florida Hospital Tampa a few weeks ago in the nurse residency program and I love it. Everyone I have met so far has been so kind. The atmosphere there is great. Pay is based on experience...

  18. Taking NCLEX tomorrow

    FL_Nurse92 replied to MeganStar's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just breath :) Don't change your answers and go with your gut. You know the info all you have to do is apply it! A few little tips/tricks I used: 1. Never ask why 2. Never "pass the buck" 3. ASSESS...

    FL_Nurse92 replied to my4helpers's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I just reviewed what I forgot over the course of the semester... which wasn't much. I didn't go back and read every chapter or every slide. The material I learned in beginning of the semester was what...

  20. Having Trouble Passing NCLEX; Suggestions?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to PurpleKittii's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know you don't want to use Kaplan but it is truly one of the best out there. Besides that I took the hurst review which I honestly did not like. In my opinion Kaplan is well worth

  21. UWorld vs. Kaplan

    FL_Nurse92 replied to Nursenikki786's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No problem! Trainer 7 is a beast, it is 265 questions and a very good example of what the NCLEX is like. I suggest you take it a few days before the big day. It took me a while to take the test and...

  22. UWorld vs. Kaplan

    FL_Nurse92 replied to Nursenikki786's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Kaplan and it prepared me very well for boards! I'm really not sure about UWorld but doing the qbank questions and trainers from kaplan helped me pass boards the first try with 75

  25. Texas to Ohio

    FL_Nurse92 replied to Brandiepeds's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It's most likely just continuing education. When I had my license endorsed for the FLBON, I also had to show proof that I took and passed a medication administration
