  1. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    mrphil79 replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First off... You accidentally drop your keys in to the annoying narrow spot between your car seat and the center console. You accidentally forget to sign a check to the electric company. You don't...

  2. PHSC Fall 2016 Hopefuls

    mrphil79 replied to LPNtoRN1day's topic in School, College Programs

    Well that's really strangely specific for spam... You should make a phone call or two instead of ignoring it out of fear that someone randomly happened to send you spam from the nursing program at...

  3. Usf fall 2016

    mrphil79 replied to Kyla21's topic in Florida Nursing

    You will be at a 181 Florida public college/university credits? Or do you have credits from private and/or out of state colleges? I earned my entire bachelor's degree in other states - all I have that...

  4. Herzing University

    mrphil79 replied to NeoNurse2Be's topic in Florida Nursing

    Herzing's nursing program costs $8725 per semester. Orlando - Tuition Cost by Program | Herzing University You don't think that's INSANE?! Especially since you're in Florida - the state colleges are...

  5. Usf fall 2016

    mrphil79 replied to Kyla21's topic in Florida Nursing

    Also - I think you're confusing a transient student with a transfer student. A transient student is an existing USF student that takes a class at another college to fulfill a USF requirement. This is...

  6. Usf fall 2016

    mrphil79 replied to Kyla21's topic in Florida Nursing

    Nope, you're wrong... This is not possible to find on USF's website, but it's on UNF's and New College of Florida's website. Different state colleges, yes - but exact same law that all Florida public...

    mrphil79 replied to Kyla21's topic in Florida Nursing

    The surcharge also only takes into consideration credits earned in Florida. If you have credits from other states, they do not apply to your

  8. PHSC Fall 2016 Hopefuls

    mrphil79 replied to LPNtoRN1day's topic in School, College Programs

    I think they know that many people who apply have applied to multiple colleges. On top of that, many people who apply to their program apply to multiple PHSC campuses. I really think the phone calls...

  9. PHSC Fall 2016 Hopefuls

    mrphil79 replied to LPNtoRN1day's topic in School, College Programs

    I just... Ugh... You're literally better off financially taking another semester to boost your GPA and TEAS and/or apply for the spring start (which is generally easier to get in to anyway) than you...

  10. PHSC Fall 2016 Hopefuls

    mrphil79 replied to LPNtoRN1day's topic in School, College Programs

    I got my call earlier today. Wanted to make sure it wasn't some kind of joke/scam/etc... so I let it go to voicemail. Googled the number, matched up the number with the PHSC admissions office and then...

  11. How to properly decline an offer to a nursing school

    mrphil79 replied to kriziaelora1992's topic in School, College Programs

    First off... Chamberlain is a for profit business. Why would you worry about hurting their feelings? It's like when you're at the grocery store and you decide you don't want to buy the macaroni salad...

  12. PHSC Fall 2016 Hopefuls

    mrphil79 replied to LPNtoRN1day's topic in School, College Programs

    I have a BS in psychology. I'll be able to do 2 BSN classes per semester while doing the RN classes (after the first semester). Plus Polk has nursing scholarships that only current nursing students...

  13. PHSC Fall 2016 Hopefuls

    mrphil79 replied to LPNtoRN1day's topic in School, College Programs

    That was my first thought - but the number they were calling from was the PHSC admissions office. I googled it before answering! There is about a 98% chance I'm going to turn down the seat. Polk State...

    mrphil79 replied to LPNtoRN1day's topic in School, College Programs

    Yeah - They're calling. I just got a phone

  15. PHSC Fall 2016 Hopefuls

    mrphil79 replied to LPNtoRN1day's topic in School, College Programs

    It's not the end of July (despite what someone on here said...). Its the end of June/early July. Should be any day now, actually. PHSC is the last school I'm waiting to hear back from - everywhere...

  16. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    mrphil79 replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Or, you know, you could actually do the work and try to get an actual education out of the class. Grand Canyon is nearly $500 a credit hour - if you're going to cheat and in turn give yourself a fake...

  17. What would you do?

    mrphil79 replied to UNHRN's topic in General Students

    How are you getting a job in which you will have no income tax? I think you're either mistaken or you misspoke, as you're going to be paying federal income tax either way. Anyway - gotta go with the...

  18. Kindle or actual textbooks?

    mrphil79 replied to oldnewlpn's topic in General Students

    I've tried using an ebook - and after about 7 minutes I have to give up and go back to the actual book. With my study style, I would have a VERY hard time learning from a Kindle version. I flip back...

  19. PHSC Fall 2016 Hopefuls

    mrphil79 replied to LPNtoRN1day's topic in School, College Programs

    Polk lets you start doing BSN classes after your first semester of you already have an Associates degree and you keep your nursing grades at high enough (at least a B in all nursing classes). PHSC in...

  20. PHSC Fall 2016 Hopefuls

    mrphil79 replied to LPNtoRN1day's topic in School, College Programs

    PHSC's program, while a solid program, was my last choice of the places I applied to. It is a good program, but just not the best fit for what I'm looking for. Polk State was my 2nd choice and I got...

  21. Usf fall 2016

    mrphil79 replied to Kyla21's topic in Florida Nursing

    I've been accepted to Polk State College's nursing program. They are my 2nd choice because it would take a semester longer before I'd be able to start working. It's an RN program, but after the first...

  22. Sick of night shift

    mrphil79 replied to Jbetty's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm sorry... Can you clarify...? Are you sick of nights? Are you sick of your job? If you're sick of nights, but don't want to do days either, what is the secret third

  23. Help! Scared. Is this really happening?!

    mrphil79 replied to Remy Ox's topic in General Nursing

    I can't think of any rational solution other than finding a new job as soon as humanly possible. If this is what happens on your very first day, what do you think will happen when they get to know you...

  24. Usf fall 2016

    mrphil79 replied to Kyla21's topic in Florida Nursing

    I wanted to answer in a way that showed them a whole lot about me in a short amount of time. I'd heard these were averaging 5 minutes, so I knew I had to pack a lot into each answer without being...

  25. Usf fall 2016

    mrphil79 replied to Kyla21's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yeah, I know exactly what you meant. I'm saying it was an overreaction about a general statement from a stranger about my perception of the process and you took it, at least on some level, as an...
