1. Respiratory Therapist VS Nursing

   FLstudent06 replied to airis's topic in Career Support

   Hello everyone! I saw this thread and figured it would be a good place to ask something I've been wondering about... One of the things I've noticed that nurses are upset about ( and rightly so ) is the way they are treated by doctors, patients, fam...

2. Tampa/W. Coast Students Roll Call!

   FLstudent06 replied to Nashima's topic in Florida

   Congrats on starting at Plant City, Lauren! I ended up getting a "B" in AP2, so I'll be applying with a 3.8 GPA. Hopefully that will be good enough. I agree with you about Plant City being more friendly... I took a few classes there. I'm going to put...

3. Tampa/W. Coast Students Roll Call!

   FLstudent06 replied to Nashima's topic in Florida

   Hi Mave! I took my prereqs at the Brandon campus. I haven't decided yet if I want to be at Dale Mabry or Plant City for the Nursing classes. Dale Mabry is so much nicer, but I live closer to Plant City. What about you??

   Hi Tampa students! I'm attending Hillsborough Community College. I just finished my last prereqs this week, and should begin the Nursing Program in August. I'm waiting to find out my grade for A&P2... if I got an A, I'll have a 4.0 and then I'll ...

5. Math required for Microbiology

   FLstudent06 replied to justlisa3928's topic in General Students

   Hi Lisa, I took Micro last semester, and there wasn't much math involved. I'd been out of school for many years myself, and it wasn't a problem. Good Luck!

6. Waitlists

   FLstudent06 replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Students

   No waitlist at my CC. Entrance is based on your GPA in the prereq classes only (not total GPA). Prereqs are English 1, algebra, sociology, A&P 1 and 2, and microbiology. All prereqs have to be completed before you can submit an application to the...

7. Deciding on classes...what do you think?

   I would go with A&P 2.

8. Decision about College Algebra!!!

   FLstudent06 replied to NewYork_Heart's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That's a tough decision. If it was me, I would try to stick it out and do whatever I could to try and pull my grade up. Of course, I don't know how far along you are in the semester and if you have enough time to bring up your grade. Another thing t...

   FLstudent06 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Wow... I really wish I hadn't started reading this right after dinner. I,ve seriously never heard of this. I have several friends who have done home birth and are into all the natural healing & organic everything, but none of them have ever menti...

10. Question about nurses and smoking

    FLstudent06 replied to FLstudent06's topic in General Nursing

    Oooooooops... don't want to start any flames here! I really was just curious about how many nurses smoke, how patients/other coworkers react, etc. Sorry in advance if I ruffled any feathers!

11. Question about nurses and smoking

    FLstudent06 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Good afternoon all! I've seen more than a few posts that mention nurses who smoke ( as in having to watch their patients while they take smoke breaks...etc.). I'm just wondering... are there alot of nurses who smoke? I'm a student, and have not worke...

12. Here comes Wilma, Cape Coral & FT. Myers are so quiet......

    FLstudent06 replied to Hairstylingnurse's topic in Florida

    I'm a little bit north of you... between Sarasota and Tampa. In fact, my brother in law who lives in Cape Coral drove up to ride out the storm here. Hope all goes well for you!

13. Why do we catch diseases?

    FLstudent06 replied to realnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there is any one easy answer to that. But one reason is that viruses constantly mutate into new versions that we haven't developed antibodies for. That is why the flu shot changes every year.

14. Student with Question

    FLstudent06 replied to PediLove2147's topic in Student Assist

    I'm only a student, but here are a few things I can think of: 1) Stress of dealing with life-and-death situations. Nursing is one of the few professions where making the wrong decision could seriously harm or even kill someone. 2) Possibility of ex...
