   hyunjoo82 replied to Lindsay_11's topic in Georgia

   Congrats to the rising juniors! :) My name is Helen and I am a rising senior. I read your discussions to see what you guys are concerned about and I thought maybe hearing from a senior could help you worry a little less for the time being... A few of...

   hyunjoo82 replied to nrice28's topic in Georgia

   Congrats on getting accepted! Did you attend the July 19th orientation or are you going to the August 9th orientation? I was there representing GBANS at our booth & will be there again on August 9th. I understand about it being a long journey as ...

   hyunjoo82 replied to nrice28's topic in Georgia

   As a word of advice from previous experience, don't give up hope on acceptance. I was accepted kind of "last minute" for fall 2009 but then I didn't pass one of my pre-requisites & couldn't start then. I re-activated my application & kept in ...

4. To Swab or Not to Swab......

   hyunjoo82 replied to Testa Rosa, RN's topic in Medications

   I am taught at my nursing school to swab everything just so you get in the habit of doing it to every vial. They do tell us that new vials may not need swabbing but it never hurts to take extra precaution, right? So now, I swab every vial, new or old...

   I added you to be Facebook friends. :) I just remembered that I made it so that I wasn't so easily searchable on Facebook so that's probably why you couldn't find me. Haha. Next year should definitely be easier to find funding. Unfortunately, I proba...

   hyunjoo82 replied to nrice28's topic in Georgia

   Actually, I got my financial aid package from the school and unfortunately, it wasn't able to cover my entire tuition let alone any extra costs like books and fees. I'm looking into some private loans since I would like some money to pay for my books...

   I agree, never underestimate the power of personal touch. I found this to be very helpful and they worked with me for an entire year as I kept filling them in about my status as I met my prerequisites.

   there's a program in suwanee on lawrenceville-suwanee road and I-85. it's a 7 week course and the class is small (more student/professor communication) and it's run by an RN who has a heart for future health care workers. it meets 2 or 3 times a week...

11. Emory Midtown potential PCT job..

    hyunjoo82 replied to Cert2Fied's topic in Georgia

    Unfortunately I live an hour away from Griffin. Thanks for the tidbit though. I actually got some job leads once I started looking into non-hospital jobs. I figure I'll take whatever place I can get my foot in first since I'll be getting experience a...

12. Can you have RN certification in more than one state?

    hyunjoo82 replied to HighNursingGoals's topic in Georgia

    Thanks for the reply! Your information was very helpful to me. I'll have to check out the travel nursing forum soon. Hopefully it's a career path for me to choose from. :)

    I'm also a new CNA grad and will be starting nursing school in six months. I've been trying to find a job as a CNA for the past two months with no luck at hospitals. I really wanted to work in a hospital to familiarize myself with the environment but...

    hyunjoo82 replied to bellefemme's topic in Georgia

    Thanks! I was accepted into Mercer's program last year but couldn't start because of various reasons. I reactivated my application for this year and got in again. I start next fall so I haven't started yet but I have friends who went/go there and the...

15. Emory Midtown potential PCT job..

    hyunjoo82 replied to Cert2Fied's topic in Georgia

    I had a friend who seemed to be in a similar situation as you with Emory-Midtown (or was it CHOA, I forget). They seem to be very thorough with their job applicants... the reason it took so long for my friend was that they were actually calling/confi...
