1. Any study tips for an upcoming 2012 nursing student?

   busylife4me replied to Crystal360's topic in General Students

   I am a first-semester nursing student and will turn 43 next week (so I'm older than whoever was concerned about being 41). There is so much info that you could study all day, every day and still not know everything in order to make an A on a test. ...

2. New Nurse-Legal Nurse Consultant

   busylife4me replied to myladeybugg's topic in Legal

   I've been a court reporter for over 23 years. I'm currently on leave because I'm a nursing student. (I hope to never go back to court reporting.) No, I doubt any attorney would hire you to be their legal nurse consultant/nursing expert without any ...

   If anyone still needs CPR certification, I have a friend that is an instructor with the below place. It says, "Two year American Heart Association Health Care Provider certification earned upon completion," so it looks like you would be able to take...

   busylife4me replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia

   Okay. I am caught up now. From a current GTC student, I was told we need to register for Nursing 1101 and 1102, which is what I did. I believe it is fundamentals and pharmacology. They add up to 9 credit hours, which means it's not "full-time" for...

   I have not been on here for a LONG while but thought I'd log on to see what I've missed. Seems like you-all are having lots of discussions. I need to read all and catch back up!

   busylife4me replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia

   When I asked about accreditation at the interview, I was told they would not hear anything until June or July. And I really pushed them on whether they were going to get it or not because it is something that is important to me. While there are no ...

   busylife4me replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia

   Well, it's a new day with new worries. Today I'm worried about my financial aid (versus worrying about ADN versus BSN). E-mailed financial aid again this a.m. and just heard back in an e-mail that they cannot find a FAFSA on file for me. Called FA...

   busylife4me replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia

   I never have "extra time" in my life because I'm always working on a full platter with maybe slight periods of going to a full plate, but I guess I was hopeful. Since I just finished the SCT 100 class, and the last I looked, they had that listed as a...

   Kimberly and anyone else who is currently in GTC's program, particularly those who are about to graduate: Now that you're almost done with the program, have you started looking for jobs at local hospitals (or even other places like rehab centers)? H...

    I wish they would give us the list and process my financial aid application. I really don't know what the hold-up is this year with financial aid, but it's making me worry.

11. GTC 2011?

    busylife4me replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia

    I know the program does not recommend that anyone works, but I don't know if that's strictly because of course load or if that's because they want you available for whenever clinicals are scheduled or a combination of both. I heard that some are wor...

    Yay, Miss Impatient! I thought that might be you! I'm glad you got in too. And if you can handle the A&PII and Micro at GTC at the same time and work as much as you did and get in, then I am very impressed and expect you to do spectacular in t...

    busylife4me replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia

    Yes, by "my friend," I mean Mary. :) Okay. Now I'm going to be guessing who you are. :) I should go back and read the posts to figure this out, but are you the person who was in Microbiology with us or are you a current nursing student? And I ...

    busylife4me replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia

    So sorry, you-all, that I have not checked this string of posts in weeks. I was logging into my yahoo account to see if I was notified of more posts, and none showed up. I finally decided to go into the link directly, and low and behold, there are ...

    busylife4me replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia

    No, I took A & P in spring and summer. I have a vague recollection of someone being pregnant and giving birth over the weekend and coming back to class on Monday -- but after thinking about it, I think that was my psychology class.
