Dani1951 ASN, RN

Backstory to my dilemma: Starting working as an RN on a specialty unit at a hospital. 9 months into that job I was offered a FT position at an outpatient center that I had worked at in previous years. I took that position and went PRN at the hospita...

I found your post because I was searching for the same opinion of leaving a position before your first year. My situation is very similar but also different in ways. I was hired days and then asked to do nights because of staffing changes. I’ve neve...

Also, I forgot something I wanted to point out about workload. In the first half of the semester you will have a lot of busy work between lecture and pharmacology (pharm homework load doesn't end throughout the whole semester as it is online). The ha...

All of the above is fantastic advice ^ My professor was the same exact way as far as letting us know exactly what material to focus on. The tables and boxes that were pointed out were always on exams. I never read the assigned reading start to finis...

Hi! I just finished level 1 at FSW so feel free to ask any questions about what to expect from the workload :)

Charlotte campus wasn't told that. Has anyone gotten schedules yet? We were assigned to a clinical day/group but told we won't get detailed schedules until clinical orientation on 1/10.

Hmm. Maybe this was specific to your campus? I didn't see that anywhere

How do you know this??? I'm also in a predicament regarding my work schedule for January and February ( we schedule 8 weeks out). So frustrating to not have our days yet :/. Prof at my campus said we would get it by end of December.

Solus, Thank you!!!! So much. That was exactly what I needed to know. I appreciate you taking the time to clairify that in such detail :) Do you mind me asking if you're working during the program?

Thanks for taking the time to answer! :) Im still just a tad confused. Mainly I'm wondering if there are ever weeks where school is 4 days. I know sim is on a non class or clinical day... But do you also have clinical if you already had sim? So for e...

Are you kidding me??? That's insanity that there is still expense on top of the 1600+ Even worse for you guys finding out with this short of notice. I'm a huge fan of the ebooks so it's great to know that's an option. I snooped around the files i...

FuturenurseM2018: thanks again for your answers! :) So is it correct that some weeks it's 4 days a week because of simulation ? Or do you not have clinical that week when that happens? also you mentioned that days may change in regards to needing fl...

Just wanted to check in with everyone and say hello!! Less than one month left until we start!! Hope you all had a great thanksgiving :) Ps- regarding bookstore/financial aid... When I was there buying mine the girl working told me as soon as I asked...

Thank you so much for sharing all of this great info with us! I have some questions as well if you don't mind :) 1.Class is 3-4 days a week, isn't it? From what I saw it looked like 3 days regular weeks , 4 days on simulation weeks. 2.Is is homework...

Im sure you've probably figured it out by now since I'm replying so late, lol.... But! Yes I did upload everything with no issues :)

Hi! I haven't been on here since before thanksgiving... Sorry for the delayed answers. No nursing courses during the summer...you can most likely take psych and human development during the summer, but Ap2 and comp 1 have to be taken with first semes...

You can ask for titers to be drawn for all of the required vaccines. That will tell you what you're still positive for and what you're low on. Each document does need to be uploaded under the requirements separately though. Pain in the butt. Not sure...

You're welcome! The 150 applicants is between to three campuses... So numbers were very low this time around considering there are about 96 seats total between all three. Do you know where to find the admission tally sheet? If not I can send it to y...

Hi!! This round of applications was a little different than previous semesters, IMO. There were only about 150 applicants ( half the amount of last semester), it was the first cycle that used TEAS scores only, and it was also the first that required ...

Anyone have any input on purchasing the books used instead of from the bookstore? I was going to ask Wendy but didn't want to bother her if someone here already had an answer.

Aw! Well even though I'm sad to lose a classmate, I'm very happy for you that it will allow you to stay close to your family :)

Oh wow!! Is Collier closer for you??

I don't think this is mandatory as it have you the option to just pick "no health insurance". I can't see why it would be. I know we carry liability insurance that is covered by the school from our tuition. I think I read somewhere that we may be eli...

I would also like to know this! I feel like even buying them all at once on Amazon will still be cheaper. $1000 is just so much money at one time.

this ^ :) it's best to go in and try them on. You can't order over the phone with them. You could order the correct scrubs online from somewhere but it cost $10 each to embroider instead of $6. The ladies in port Charlotte are very nice and helpful. ...
