1. Georgia Regents Fall 2014 DNP

   melby replied to Catfishjon's topic in Post Graduate

   I got an email from Karen Sturgill today with orientation checklist info and lots of other helpful info regarding immunization requirements, parking for orientation, health insurance, financial aid, etc. So look for it, just in case you still need so...

2. Georgia Regents Fall 2014 DNP

   melby replied to Catfishjon's topic in Post Graduate

   I got info about the background check and a request for $100 tuition deposit, along with the vaccination request. Nothing else, yet. Also, does anyone have a GRU email yet? The letter with the vaccination info said you can't do the online submission ...

   AirForceRN, I think those dates are the same for all of us since all of the campus orientations take place in Augusta. The three of us should figure out a time and place to meet up during orientation...my name is Melody Rice.

   melby replied to Catfishjon's topic in Post Graduate

   Catfishjon, I don't live in Athens. I live in Lawrenceville, which is about 35 minutes away. The two major hospitals in Athens are St. Mary's and Athens Regional. I've heard good things about both, and I know Athens Regional was named to a few of the...

   melby replied to Catfishjon's topic in Post Graduate

   I wrote down the dates for the mandatory three-day orientation in August, but I can't seem to locate the folder I put them in. Was it August 18, 19, 20? I need to make sure I get that on my calendar at work so I can block those days out ASAP.

   I got a call this afternoon, as well. They offered me a spot at Athens for the acute care program. I'm really excited, and glad it didn't end up being a four-week wait. Congratulations!

   melby replied to Catfishjon's topic in Post Graduate

   My interview was also very casual, though I was a bit shocked when it was a panel interview with six individuals. I was also told they're hoping to have final admission decisions in 2-4 weeks. Catfishjon, which specialty are you applying to? AirForce...

   I have an interview March 13 for the post-BSN, AGACNP-DNP program. I requested the Athens campus as well, so I might see you there, Catfishjon.

    And I'm pretty sure I know who the original poster is!

11. Emory New Grad Residency

    melby replied to hopefulnurse11's topic in Georgia

    The NEAT scholarship is offered to Emory Nursing students. Here's a link to their 2010 - 2011 catalog. They also participate in the CHANCES program (the similar program for CHOA). The NEAT program info is on page 22. You could get more information by...

12. Emory New Grad Residency

    melby replied to hopefulnurse11's topic in Georgia

    I am one of the lucky Emory Resident nurses, as well. I actually graduated December 2010 and, due to paperwork issues, didn't receive my license in time to meet the deadline for the earlier residency program. I worked on a contract basis for a home h...

13. Med Surg ATI

    melby replied to ckrst1's topic in Student Assist

    ckrst1, it doesn't work that way. The study guide generated after you take the test is bases on what you answer incorrectly. It tailors the study guide to what you need to study, based on how you did during your test. So it would be different for dif...

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

    melby replied to dreamon's topic in Georgia

    I can tell you how I'm doing it. I work full time at night, go to school during the day, and try to find time to sleep whenever I can. I have an advantage over other single moms, as my daughter is a teenager and will soon be getting her driver's lice...

15. LPN to RN, BSN, or MSN

    melby replied to sun.shine's topic in LPN-RN

    You're correct, but most of them combine the BSN and MSN cirriculum, and you essentially earn both degrees during the program. Others require that you have a non-nursing BSN degree. Neither seems like a viable option for teenaxo at this point.
