   relentlessrunner replied to relentlessrunner's topic in Doctoral

   Thank you! That is good to hear. I wasn't sure if there were benefits to doing the BSN-DNP versus BSN-MSN-DNP if DNP is the goal.

   relentlessrunner replied to relentlessrunner's topic in Operating Room

   Thanks so much for sharing! I'm not done with nursing school yet, but I can't wait! All of the ortho nurses I have met have been really helpful and excited about letting me shadow them. I can't wait to have a job that's fun because it's doing what...

4. Oncology or Orthopedic OR?

   relentlessrunner replied to relentlessrunner's topic in Operating Room

   How did you get started in ortho OR? Did you do ortho med-surg first or say that you wanted to work with OR? Or can you do ortho OR as a new grad? Any info would be helpful. Thanks!

   relentlessrunner replied to relentlessrunner's topic in Arizona

   Yeah, sorry! I don't care about prestige either - I think I really meant, how competitive is admissions? :) Are you applying for next summer?

   Chinook, here's about Tucson... Okay, about Tucson. It's a great place for young children. There are some nice places to live, especially in Northwest Tucson and even near campus. The further south you go, the more people see it as being an...

7. University of Arizona Accelerated BSN

   relentlessrunner replied to relentlessrunner's topic in Arizona

   I was looking at doing Georgia State's accelerated program, but I honestly believe that there are benefits of studying at a nursing school that has a research hospital adjoined to it (usually a medical school too). I know that some nursing schools a...

   Hi Chinook! Instead of waiting to find the time to write a super lengthy message, I will post about one question you had. The interview at UA is a group panel interview - a few people interview a few applicants at a time. That is about it for the i...

9. Oncology or Orthopedic OR?

   relentlessrunner replied to relentlessrunner's topic in Operating Room

   Thank you so much for sharing! It seems like I've been interested in orthopedics since I was in middle school, and reading the books about orthopedic surgery (like Hot Lights, Cold Steel) just encourages me even more! I'm glad you love your job - i...

    I'm taking my classes at Georgia Perimeter (Decatur). It's been great!

11. Understanding the process and my options in GA

    relentlessrunner replied to ags96's topic in Georgia

    If you want to take your classes online, I would try Rio Salado College. It's based in Arizona, but you can take Microbiology, Anatomy, Chemistry, and such all online. You just have to take the midterm and final at a proctor site of your choosing. ...

12. Chances on getting in????

    relentlessrunner replied to atl_libra's topic in Georgia

    It's never too late to get a BSN! Just take it a chunk at a time! Know your limits. The Anatomy and Physiology classes and the Chemistry classes can be hard, so just be careful and know whether you can take more than 1 science at a time. I had a ...

    relentlessrunner posted a topic in Doctoral

    For anyone who has done the DNP, did you this straight from the BSN or the MSN? I would love to hear about your choice! Thanks!

14. Oncology or Orthopedic OR?

    relentlessrunner posted a topic in Operating Room

    I was wondering if anybody has had experience with both oncology and ortho OR? I am interested in both. What are the pros/cons? Maybe I should do both at some point? Thanks!

    relentlessrunner replied to flower2007's topic in Georgia

    It's going to take me a year and a half. I have had to take A&P twice, but the second time, I had a wonderful teacher! All of my prereqs are at the community college too.
