1. Kennestone Interview Experience

   RunsWscissors posted a topic in Georgia

   Yesterday I went to an interview at Kennestone. I gave myself 3 hours to travel there from Chattanooga so as not to be late. 6 miles from exit 267B traffic came to a halt. Ultimately, I ended up being 20 mins late. This was a 3 pm appointment, not ex...

3. Searching for 1st travel assignment (AMN not my fave)

   RunsWscissors posted a topic in Travel

   I've been scouring the web, forums, etc for info on a good company to travel with. I've come to the conclusion there is no perfect one. Sadly, I put out feelers with AMN before I realized what I was doing. The recruiter there has called me twice a d...

   RunsWscissors replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

   I just started my quarter on October 1st. Two weeks and some days ago. Two people are already seriously considering dropping. One because she has yet to make above a 65 on two of the fundamentals exams and she bombed the first drug calc test as well....

   RunsWscissors replied to tiffany311's topic in General Students

   Oh darling. Would you be embarrassed if say, you had gotten horribly scarred pulling someone from a burning building or if you had survived a tragic auto accident?? You got those scars in saving yourself!!! Yes, they do draw attention, but you made i...

   RunsWscissors posted a topic in General Students

   Ok, so tomorrow is my first test and I am somewhat at a disadvantage because I just received my books today. (Looooong story, I'll save you my financial woes for another day.) However, I have had the good fortune to have a buddy who let me borrow her...

10. The director for our program is MEAN!!

    RunsWscissors replied to shaggyjo's topic in General Students

    I think that in order to be the director you have to be much like Joe Pesci in "Casino". J/k. Seriously though, I have been reading posts re: directors and it appears most of them are at best quirky, and at worst little Hitlers. Mine is somewhere in ...

11. rude nurses

    RunsWscissors replied to sziq1's topic in General Students

    I am nowhere near where you are at, but I know how nurses can be. just like anyone else really. I work for the USPS and trust me, when you start there you are lucky if you can get the time from someone. I think everyone gets territorial and develops ...

    RunsWscissors replied to Nili927's topic in General Students

    When I was asked this question right after selection I said that it was manifest destiny. However, I am a bit odd with a strange sense of humor. I think a sense of humor can go a long way depending on the situation/interviewer. That question to me a...

13. What would you think if...?

    RunsWscissors replied to Tnightingale's topic in General Students

    Well, strong-willed for me has negative connotations. However, that being said, my grandmother finds it to be a compliment. That your instructor chose to pair it with joyful is positive I think. She could have said strong willed and confrontational, ...

14. In over my head - PLEASE HELP!

    RunsWscissors replied to ErinRena's topic in General Students

    You will be fine. I am just starting my program, too and I can completely relate to what you are feeling. Everyone gets the jitters, but I am sure after a few weeks (or months maybe) we will find some kind of comfort zone. Just try to breathe and tak...

15. The director is the spawn of Satan

    RunsWscissors replied to RunsWscissors's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much for all your replies. I guess I should have specified that due to a lack of instructors, she does teach classes and is very involved with the clinicals, drug calc (we have to pass a drug calc final every quarter, is it this way everywh...
