   Kel3 replied to CarolinaPeachRN's topic in Georgia

   We have 1-2 patients. Good luck with your move! When do you begin orientation? You'll start on days, so we'll meet each other at shift change. Be sure to introduce yourself!

2. Relocating to Atlanta Georgia for RN Residency Program at Piedmont May,2013

   Kel3 replied to CarolinaPeachRN's topic in Georgia

   I'm a new grad--just graduated in December. All the classes have been good, but the program (between being in the unit, taking classes, and working on ECCO) takes most all of my time right now. But to be honest, I'm fine with it--I'm learning a lot a...

   Cool--I'm a CCU nurse as well. :-) CCU is just CCU--we don't have a color. ;-) Are you experienced or a new grad?

   Kel3 replied to CarolinaPeachRN's topic in Georgia

   Congrats to you!! Which unit will you be working in? I'm currently a critical care resident there--tough, but I love it, and Piedmont is great. If you are wanting to avoid traffic all together, I'd suggest getting as close to the hospital as possible...

6. GSU Fall 13 Applicants

   Kel3 replied to yosha's topic in Georgia

   Guys, ignore this person. When deciding which school(s) to apply to, take a look at what fits best into your lifestyle, what you can afford, where you feel comfortable, and what the school's NCLEX pass rates are. If GSU is where you want to go, then ...

7. Quick Question for GSU nursing students or prospects

   Kel3 replied to JB13's topic in Georgia

   Yep, that's our uniform. You'll have med/surg and psych clinicals over the summer. You'll want to talk to the professors as soon as you can about needing to miss a week. I would imagine they'd be willing to work with you, but summer is definitely a t...

   PS--Congrats on your acceptance!!

9. Quick Question for GSU nursing students or prospects

   Kel3 replied to JB13's topic in Georgia

   It's possible, but it won't be pleasant. You can always give it a shot, and if it feels like too much you can drop the psych class. There is no way that I could/would have taken another class during A1 (or A-anything, to be honest), but that doesn't ...

10. Quick Question for GSU nursing students or prospects

    Kel3 replied to JB13's topic in Georgia

    Hopefully I am understanding your question--if not, just let me know and I'll try again. :-) Not only do you have to have all the nursing school prereqs done, but you must also have all the college-required core courses (which is what the course you ...

11. So Frustrated!!

    Kel3 replied to JB13's topic in Georgia

    If I still had mine, I'd give it to you, but I gave it away after receiving my test score early last year. I understand what you are saying--there is nothing cheap about any of this. Just wait until you get accepted. The cost of books, uniforms, lab...

    jenbrewington--Get the study guide that ATI offers. I used their study guide and then purchased the two online practice assessments that are offered. Using nothing else, I was able to make a 94. Best of luck to you!!! Kelly

    What are you using for a study guide? Kelly

14. Georgia State University Pre-Nursing Students

    Kel3 replied to hcs4291's topic in Georgia

    jenbrewington: I'm sure you are fine, since those are higher level courses than 1151 and 1152. You can always call the nursing office to make sure, but I would be beyond shocked if you were told any different. Best of luck to you!! Kelly (current A4...

15. Help needed about prereqs?!

    Kel3 replied to yuna_cry's topic in Georgia

    yuna_cry: I am an ACE student at Georgia State, so obviously my knowledge is based on my experience there, but here's my take. :-) I personally think that GPC is a great option for knocking out prereqs because it's cheap--I knocked out many of mine t...
