1. GPC Fall 08?

   fazeila921 replied to grapenuts's topic in Georgia

   I'm taking my pre-reqs at GPC now. Can someone tell me which instructors are good and which ones to avoid for A&P1, 2 and Micro? I prefer to take classes at Lawrenceville which is closest to my house but i'll travel further out if it will help ...

2. Accelerated Nursing programs in Georgia

   fazeila921 replied to Dinma123's topic in Georgia

   Georgia Perimeter college has an accelerated RN program. You graduate with an associates degree. It's not really accelerated. You do the same 4 semesters as the regular program but it starts in the Spring and you go straight through the summer so y...

3. School in GA, license in NY?

   fazeila921 posted a topic in New York

   I live in GA and am debating whether or not to go to nursing school in GA or in NY. I plan to move to NY in 2-3 yrs depending on that decision. It is easier for me to go to school in GA since I'm taking my pre-reqs now and I would be able to start i...

4. Federal tax & state tax deductions

   fazeila921 replied to Bunker's topic in New York

   You can go to www.paycheckcity.com. You can plug in what state you live in or wish to live in and then put in your gross pay, # of exemptions you claim and it will break it down exactly as your paycheck does. It is good for people to compare how m...

5. Houston vs. Atlanta or FL (Mia/Ft.Laud)

   fazeila921 posted a topic in Texas

   Hello Texas nurses, Any of you have experienced working in FL and/or GA? Is there any difference in the work environments, for example, nurse/patient ratios, overall satisfaction, the pay? I am not a nurse yet. I live in Atlanta at the moment. Whic...

6. Regardless of cost- which is the 'fastest' RN school program? (ATL area)

   fazeila921 replied to dreamon's topic in Georgia

   Okay, so here's my question. How did they do it? How did they support themselves (and kids) while going to nursing school full time? I want to go to nursing school and haven't quite figured out how the bills are going to get paid when i'm supposed t...

7. Is it difficult to find a job in ATL?

   fazeila921 replied to fazeila921's topic in Georgia

   thanks Rollie. I just wanted to add that i do plan on getting my BSN eventually but want to get working as a nurse as soon as possible, so for me, ADN will be the way to go. My expectation is to eventually become a nurse practitioner. I have no ide...

8. Is it difficult to find a job in ATL?

   fazeila921 posted a topic in Georgia

   We all hear about the nursing shortages but in some states, new grads have a hard time finding a job. Sometimes hospitals just want nurses with a BSN vs. ADN. I will be getting a 2nd degree to go into nursing and it's very hard to go back to school...

9. Nursing Students over 35

   fazeila921 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Students

   Yeah...i'm not alone. I am 36 currently taking pre-reqs and hopefully starting nursing school in 2010. I want to wait until my son graduates high school and then i will start the next chapter in my life. I had wanted to go back to school for a num...

10. Do Nurses STILL want to marry Doctors?

    fazeila921 replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

    LMAO....this thread is hilarious! I think probably women that are NOT nurses still fantasize about marrying a doctor. I have a friend that is actually a hospital administrator and she is on a mission to marry one of them. All i can say that she ha...

11. ATTN: bay area RN new grads.. Were you able to land a new grad job?

    fazeila921 replied to pogiboy67's topic in California

    I think the "problem" is that CA has increased salaries to such a level that it is attracting a large number of people to pursue nursing, and thereby reducing any shortages. Trust me, if you lived in another part of the country, you would have job o...

12. lifestyle def not for me...what can i do?

    fazeila921 replied to MsGolightlyRN's topic in Career Support

    Girl, just suck it up for six more months and then you can start applying for jobs elsewhere. You'll have a steady day shift in no time. You also are probably still trying to get used to the job itself so don't be so quick to jump ship. Sometimes ...

13. **Is it really THAT bad!!??**

    fazeila921 replied to SDSoccerChick32's topic in Career Support

    I've been reading about all of the negativity for quite some time and i have to admit I *WAS* scared to death. I finally contacted a local hospital (i'm in Atlanta right now) and asked if I could shadow a nurse. I did and it was much better than expe...

14. U.S. Nursing Salary CHANGES?!

    fazeila921 replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Not to go off topic here but you should really reconsider buying real estate right now, whether in the US or UK. Both are in the middle of a bubble and prices are expected to drop. I work as a housing counselor right now and I do hear UK has very s...

15. U.S. Nursing Salary CHANGES?!

    fazeila921 replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    The original poster had a valid question and yet i see alot of cynical remarks on here. the same question has crossed my mind as well. I don't think she meant the $10 per hour literally but basically wondering if salaries would go down if socialize...
