1. How Could She Have Died?

   watashi replied to Tina Hayes's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thank you for raising awareness of this issue. Like other commenters, I was taught in nursing school that preeclampsia was a pregnancy issue that resolved with childbirth. I had never heard of it postpartum until it happened to my daughter-in-law th...

2. How to show awards and volunteer work on new-grad resume

   watashi posted a topic in Job Hunt

   I am a new ASN graduate, with no health related job history. I have two questions about my resume: 1. I received the "Academic Award" at pinning. A pretty non-informative title to list with no explanation. The program had a paragraph about integr...

3. NCLEX results on hold

   watashi replied to meggomac1012's topic in NCLEX

   The same thing happened to me. Tested june 11, 75 questions, 2 hours, no breaks, and the palm thing needed a manual override at the end. The results on my state BON checklist changed from pending to incomplete yesterday afternoon (48 hours). Still...

4. nclex!!! test results on hold!

   watashi replied to ShawnGriffin's topic in NCLEX

   So ShawnGriffin, how long did it take for them to release the hold? I just took it on June 11 at 2 and am still on hold. 75 questions, almost 2 hours, no breaks, and they could not get a palm scan at the end, despite MANY tries.

5. What Pre-Requisites should I stack?

   watashi replied to Takari's topic in LPN-RN

   The school I did my pre-reqs at had the same rules, and yet my lab partner for Micro was also taking A&P1 and Chemistry (I think 1 but it might have been 2) at the same time, so apparently exceptions could be made.

6. ASN vs BSN

   watashi replied to watashi's topic in Georgia

   I went with Perimeter's ASN program. Mainly for convenience. This is my daughter's last year at home and I want to enjoy it. The GSU ACE program looked like it would be just too intense for me this year, and I did not want to commute as far as Ken...

7. GPC FALL 2012

   watashi replied to metoyou's topic in Georgia

   I just looked at the calendar in icollege (First Two Months Calendar under the course calendar icon of the home page) and saw that Mondays were entirely empty. Is there another calendar I should be looking at?

8. Question about Pre-Res Classes?

   watashi replied to JayCimone's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The A&P you took in high school probably counts as A&P1. There is still A&P2 and Microbiology that most of the schools around here require. Most want Intro psychology, so if you have a chance to take AP or CLEP this year, that might be a...

   watashi replied to metoyou's topic in Georgia

   Will we be using those giant textbooks in class or are they mainly for reading and assignments at home? I'm trying to decide if I need to buy a wheely bag to carry everything.

    Does the Nursing Central app work on Android phones or just apple devices?

12. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    watashi replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Safety

    On a very practical note, what kind of childcare arrangements do people have that you can stay at work indefinitely on almost no notice? When my children were young, all the daycares I could find closed at 6 or 7 and charged $1 per MINUTE late fees. ...

13. CLEP & GPA

    watashi replied to misscriss90's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have CLEPed out of two classes already, and plan to take two more. The official school transcript counts them as transfer credits, so I get the hours but they have no effect on my official school GPA at all. But I have heard that my nursing progra...

14. I need reassurance, or reality check?

    watashi replied to studentinchicago's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Don't count on this. I have a bachelors and a masters degree, both with decent gpas, both from highly ranked national universities. When I applied to my local community college for a career change to nursing, they admitted me as a FRESHMAN! Only ...
