  1. Hi gang, I never thought I would arrive at this place in my life, but unbelievably: Here I am. I was recently accepted to grad school at Georgia State University. I'll be following a dual track program that focuses on becoming an Adult Health Nurse...
  2. Hi there. I've been an RN working a Medical / Surgical floor for the last handful of years. I'm also a family man with two baby boys at home and a beautiful wife. We get by on my modest earnings alone, so I'm wondering if anybody out there has an...
  3. a guestion for gpc students and grads

    My NET composite was 78 and I had a 4.0 going in, with all pre-reqs out of the way.
  4. ACLS certification

    I would like to get my ACLS certification as painlessly as possible, and by "painlessly" I mean cheaply and quickly. The cheapest way (in fact, I would be making money by attending the classes) would be to get certified through my hospital, but evid...
  5. med surg experience wage in or aroung atl.

    I'm not sure about the Stockbridge / Mcdonough area, but I think you'll do fine if wages are your main concern. I just graduated in December and found a job as a med-surg nurse at Northside Hospital making $22.00/hour. That's not including shift diff...

    Hi Gang, What better way to get the ol' foot in the door than to meet the very people who do the hiring at a JOB FAIR? In Atlanta, they're ubiquitous. In fact, there's one coming up: http://www.nationalcareerfairs.com/monster/index.php?p=career_fai...

    CODE BLUE!!! My thread is dying a slow, painful death.
  8. The future's wide open...

    I'm a nursing student who is one semester away from employment. Yes, I'll be graduating in December (if all goes well). So naturally I'm sitting here pondering what kind of nurse I want to be. Of course I want to be the best nurse I can be, but that'...
  9. Mom & Dad were right: I'm a screw-up

    Thanks for the kind words and support, fellas. A little encouragement goes a long way. Especially on days like today.
  10. Mom & Dad were right: I'm a screw-up

    I'm into my first three weeks of nursing school and I just can't seem to get it together. Up until the beginning of this semester, I've pulled a 4.0 in EVERY class. However... I took my first test and scored a 74 (75 is passing). I went to do my fir...
  11. Advice for RNs who are still wet behind the ears

    I never imagined the responses to my thread would be so comprehensive and enthusiastic! I must say that I am overwhelmed with gratitude as well as humbled by everyone's experience and advice. Such a wealth of knowledge... Thanks!
  12. Here's the scenario: I was about to leave for home from my microbiology class, when suddenly another student (a nice lady who moonlights as an LPN) starts up a conversation that... well, I found intriguing. She said that she knows more than most n...

    Thanks for the hospital-ity! We'll be moving as soon as I graduate... ...and that date depends on whether or not I get in at Kennesaw State University. If I do, then I'll be getting my BSN - a process that will take all of 18 months. The alternati...

    Hi all! Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a pre-nursing student from Decatur, GA who'll soon be relocating to the Greenville/Spartanburg area with my wife. We're really looking forward to it. As I said, I'm a pre-nursing student and there is a...
