1. What have I done?!

   PreRN Katie replied to PreRN Katie's topic in General Students

   I probably was! I sat about 3 rows back on the left side. Probably the best advice I can give you is bring your application in and turn it in by hand and try to have all your classes done with the highest grades possible. I think anything above an 1...

2. GA Highlands students please help!

   PreRN Katie replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Georgia

   To JW, you sound like you'd be competitive to get in! Good luck! To everyone who wanted to know about the schedule, we go 3 days a week and have one online class day. We do everything at the Heritage Hall campus in Rome. So far so good, I really love...

3. What have I done?!

   PreRN Katie replied to PreRN Katie's topic in General Students

   I've just decided I won't try not to cry, I'll just study while I weep lol. My poor hubby thinks I have gone insane, but he's very supportive. I don't have to work while in school, so it's my only focus. I just have to get in the groove. Thanks for e...

4. What have I done?!

   PreRN Katie replied to PreRN Katie's topic in General Students

   Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words. I am glad to know it's normal to feel a little bamboozled at this point. I'm making it a point to study with classmates and we practice our skills together. If I don't make it through it won't be for la...

5. What have I done?!

   PreRN Katie posted a topic in General Students

   Ok, so this is a small (well...maybe medium sized) pity party and vent. I am a brand new nursing student and I'm just feeling very disillusioned about the whole thing. I knew it would be hard, but I didn't know I would cry every day. I didn't realize...

8. Questions about CNA, RN and BSN(Need help)

   PreRN Katie replied to tifftran85's topic in Georgia

   Sure thing! I'll be attending Georgia Highlands and the program runs straight through from January '09 to May '10 so like 14 months? It's taken me approximately 1 1/2 years to do prereqs.

9. Questions about CNA, RN and BSN(Need help)

   PreRN Katie replied to tifftran85's topic in Georgia

   You can get your CNA at a lot of schools...I know KSU offers a course, and I believe Chatt Tech does as well. It's 8 weeks I think, and they usually meet evenings or weekends. A BSN will usually only take you a little bit longer than an ADN since an ...

12. Just Curious about NICU/Peds

    PreRN Katie replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Georgia

    I agree with you that it will be very hard at times, but I think it's just where I would thrive. I've always adored babies and children in general and as hard as it would be to see them suffer, knowing that I'm helping them would make up for it. I ho...

14. Microbiology - Fall 2008

    PreRN Katie replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I always make flashcards with the disease on one side and the causative agent, symptoms, etc on the other. I try to memorize them in groups according to what body system they occur in. For example, for the respiratory system I'd make flashcards for W...

15. RN-BSN Program at Kennesaw State

    PreRN Katie replied to brpediesmum41's topic in Georgia

    I went to KSU for my first degree and I don't think you can take Chem 1151 and 1152 online because of the labs. I'm not sure about the other classes though. Hopefully someone on here will have been through the program. I'd like to know more about it ...
