I've been on this site for a few weeks and I have read some things I never even thought existed...haha. I too am researching the nursing school thing as well. I was accepted to NGCSU last year but wasn't able to attend then. I have recently undergone a craniotomy for a brain tumor and the nurses at Gwinnett Medical were awesome. I even joked that if I were to have another child, I would come back to have it on the neuroscience floor because it was soo peaceful! Anyhow, I am trying to get reaccepted into NGCSU as I already have a B.S. in Community Health and a minor in Psych...any advice from anyone? At this point I'm just waiting to hear back from NGCSU and hope I can get back in for Fall 08.
Hi. I'm **Trinity** I am a LPN. I live in north georgia. I am currently re-embarking on my Excelsior journey to get my RN. Hopefully I can have it done by the time I'm 40!!!
Hi everyone, my name is Jen. I graduated in December and passed my board in April. I am currently working in the ICU in Georgia. Nursing is definately different form what I expected. But I have only been working since June 16th. Hope it gets better.... so far I am a bit overwhelmed. I need to learn alot. It took me many many patients before I got my first IV started. There is another new nurse that works with me and she got it on her first try
This is my second career change/ third degree and I am not even 30 yet!!!! I hope I won't be changing again
It takes time to know how to do things...do not compare yourself to other people. It will make you second guess yourself! Sounds like you need a boost of confidence. Take it day by day and try to do your personal best!! ICU is a highly skilled area and it will take you at least a year to be completely comfortable!! Relax and do your best!
Hi,
I am new to the site and nursing. I am finishing my LPN-Charge Nurse orientation at a LTC facility and will be "on my own" next week! I am in So. GA.
My name is Jason. My family moved to GA due to a military re-assignment (wife is an Army nurse). I am an LPN, but decided to hang up that hat for a while so I could pursue my RN (currently a student @ MCG)
