  1. Respiratory Therapist VS Nursing

    FLstudent06 replied to airis's topic in Nursing Career

    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...

  2. Question about shifts for new grads

    FLstudent06 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I just read an article that said new RN's need to be prepared to work nights/weekends for quite a while until they get some seniority. Have you found this to be true? Does it depend on what area you...

  3. Tampa/W. Coast Students Roll Call!

    FLstudent06 replied to Nashima's topic in Florida Nursing

    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...

  4. Tampa/W. Coast Students Roll Call!

    FLstudent06 replied to Nashima's topic in Florida Nursing

    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...

    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

    FLstudent06 posted a topic in Nursing Career

  8. 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...

  11. Decision about College Algebra!!!

    FLstudent06 replied to NewYork_Heart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

    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

  16. 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...

    FLstudent06 replied to FLstudent06's topic in Nursing Career

  19. Question about shifts for new grads

    FLstudent06 replied to FLstudent06's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for all the input! I'm not thrilled about the prospect of working nights ( weekends don't bother me so much), but if that's what it takes I'll put in my time. Nursing has always been a dream of...
