  1. RN-MSN Programs - Need Advice/Suggestions

    justSara posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi all, I'm in search of RN-MSN programs. I'm having a difficult time finding the right one for me. I've been researching for quite a while but I'm feeling more confused than ever. If you attended one...

  2. Hurricane Irma: Are per diem nurses USUALLY required to work during a hurricane/disaster?

    justSara posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey guys! I'm not a nurse, but I am part of the nursing staff as a PCA. I have only been working in a hospital for a year, so I'm not sure what is usual or custom. As the title suggests, I am located...

  3. How did/do you pay for nursing school and expenses? I need some advice.

    justSara posted a topic in General Students

    Hey all, I have received financial aid for the last 3 years and never had to pay for school, just my own expenses. But this next semester I will not receive any FA and I'm ineligible for government...

  4. How did/do you pay for nursing school and expenses? I need some advice.

    justSara replied to justSara's topic in General Students

    I've been wondering about that. It would only be needed for one semester. I'll have fafsa back for the summer term. Have you ever taken a private loan? Anyone you would recommend? I'm just worried...

  5. How did/do you pay for nursing school and expenses? I need some advice.

    justSara replied to justSara's topic in General Students

    Yeah, the car's gotta go but I don't know how to get it gone! I don't like nice cars. But at 19 I liked a car that was out of my price range, and at the time I believed I could afford it. I bought a...

  6. How did/do you pay for nursing school and expenses? I need some advice.

    justSara replied to justSara's topic in General Students

    Don't be jealous! I'm 21 years old and have $3600 in credit card debt, $2500 in student loan debt, and $9k in car loan debt. And I make $13.50 an hour working part-time. I started working when I was...

  7. How did/do you pay for nursing school and expenses? I need some advice.

    justSara replied to justSara's topic in General Students

    1) I completely agree with you that the car is too expensive for me. The problem is that I am already 2 years into a 4.5 year loan. It's not a luxury car, just more expensive than I should have. it's...

  8. How did/do you pay for nursing school and expenses? I need some advice.

    justSara replied to justSara's topic in General Students

    I'll check out the personal finance subreddit. I'm desperate for any kind of ideas/solutions. I agree with you on the car cost, I'm just unsure on how to go about dealing with it. I live in an area...

  9. How did/do you pay for nursing school and expenses? I need some advice.

    justSara replied to justSara's topic in General Students

    I agree with you that I should not have a $350 car payment. It's ridiculous. But at 19 when I went shopping for my first car it seemed like a really good idea. In hindsight... not so much. I live in...

  10. How did/do you pay for nursing school and expenses? I need some advice.

    justSara replied to justSara's topic in General Students

    That seems like such an obvious answer, I'm not sure why I hadn't thought of that myself. I previously thought you had to be a straight A student to get scholarships, but now that I'm looking into it...

  11. Hurricane Irma: Are per diem nurses USUALLY required to work during a hurricane/disaster?

    justSara replied to justSara's topic in General Nursing

    So I guess it isn't usual then. On my unit there are only 2 per diem employees coming in, including myself. And unlike the full timers, none of us were assigned to a team. So we weren't expecting it...

  12. Hurricane Irma: Are per diem nurses USUALLY required to work during a hurricane/disaster?

    justSara replied to justSara's topic in General Nursing

    It's just not ideal because my family is evacuating and we only have one car. So I'm going to have them drop me off before they head to Georgia. But I understand them needing people to work. The way...

  13. Hurricane Irma: Are per diem nurses USUALLY required to work during a hurricane/disaster?

    justSara replied to justSara's topic in General Nursing

    Because I wasn't on the list. Only full time employees were on the list that was posted. And now two or three days before the hurricane they're telling me I'm required to show up because I'm per diem....

  14. Broward College Nursing Program January 2018

    justSara replied to AnneC.'s topic in School, College Programs

    @wawray I would be worried that it's taken over 3 weeks.. I was part of the group who applied for last semester (fall 2017) and did not get in. So, I retook A&P II at Keiser for a higher grade so...

  15. What's it like to work in a hospital?

    justSara replied to CNA1012's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    First of all, congrats on possibly landing your first hospital gig! I'm currently a PCT at a hospital in South Florida so I'll give you a detailed view of what my job is like and a little background...

    justSara posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hey guys, As the titles suggests, I just landed my first hospital job as a Patient Care Technician! Some back story... I am a 20 year old Nursing major. (Not in program, just doing pre-reqs with my...

  17. New PCT working in Neuro-Telemetry Unit? Please Help!

    justSara posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm young and have been working in Home Health as an HHA for about 2 years. I recently got my CNA license, Phlebotomy and EKG certifications, qualifying me to work as a Patient Care...

  18. How much do you make as a tech?

    justSara replied to RCBR's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Boca Raton, Florida: $13.40/hour (day shift only) If I were to work a night shift they would increase my hourly rate by $1.25 (I think! It may be $1.50, I'm not sure) *My hospital offers a choice for...

    justSara replied to amandar0se's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know this thread is old, but if anyone happens to still have this same question (like I recently did), then here you go: If in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida area, you can get HHA, CNA, Basic EKG...
