  1. Georgetown-Nurse Educator

    Does anybody know if Georgetown still have the MSN for nurse education program anymore? Every time I go to the website and look it up, it says they are not currently accepting applications.
  2. RN-BC in med-surg vs PCCN

    Hi, I work on a cardiac tele floor and have decided to study and take a certification exam and be certified. Not sure which one I should go for, anybody have taken both who can tell the difference. Was thinking of taking the med-surg one first and th...
  3. Too soon to transfer?

    Generally, most hospitals require at least 1 year nursing experience, especially for ICU positions. You've got the 6 + 7 months = 13 months so that's good. Also for you to get an interview is an even more promising sign, so I would advise you to go f...
  4. Discussion about patient falls

    Hello everyone, I would like to collect some opinions, experiences, ideas, anything you have to say about patient falls. Particularly if it has to do with patient and staff education. Just trying to gather some data on falls education and prevention ...
  5. What's Wrong with My Resume?

    I agree with everyone. The wording could use some editing. Instead of an objective, discard that and replace it with a "Professional Summary." And then personalize it to fit the job position you are applying for. I applied to many positions and each ...
  6. NCLEX TODAY! && BAD POP UP... dont think im going to take it again

    Hey, I know it feels bad, but don't ever give up! I actually got rejected from nursing school because my GPA was not good enough. I retook classes, reapplied, got in, passed all my classes, and passed boards first attempt. If I can do it, you will to...
  7. I passed the NCLEX-RN!

    Hey guys, I took my board exam on July 6th, tried the PVT trick with the good pop up. Could not believe it! I got low scores on all my ATI practice tests that my school required us to do...and had to do a lot of remediation. Then I signed up for Kapl...
  8. I hate being a tech. will I hate being a nurse too?

    I'm sorry; it must be very stressful for you. I think you should try another area of nursing or another facility. Pediatrics might be a little easier because they're easier to lift if nobody is there to help you. I am a tech right now and have to dea...
  9. Anyone apply to GMU Fall 2009?

    Anyone notice that the required uniform is actually khaki scrub pants? Is this new because I remember all the previous students had white. I actually prefer white even though it's hard to keep clean among issues. The hunter green top remains, however...
  10. Anyone apply to GMU Fall 2009?

    Just got my acceptance letter on Monday--a few days ago. I wonder why they sent the letters out at different times. Those few weeks of waiting were the worst wait ever! I'm mostly concerned about the TEAS exam and how to pass it. As for the packet ...
  11. Got Rejected

    Thank you all very much for your very helpful responses, I appreciate it much. :) I am actually doing a BSN and will definitely retake Anatomy and Physiology again since this was the course that I didn't do great in. Not only will I need it to raise ...
  12. Got Rejected

    received my letter of rejection from the nursing program at my university some weeks ago, spent one or two days in dark gloom and then convinced myself that all will be well. i have decided to not give up because i really want to do nursing, so i'm g...
  13. What If I Don't Make It In

    You're right, a 3.0 is a B average. The grading scale is: A 4.0 A- 3.7 B+ 3.33 B 3.0 B- 2.67 C+ 2.33 C 2.0 C- 1.67 D 1.0 F 0.0 That's pretty good already, I'm just sinking lower and lower, so now I have to shape up or else I will drown.
  14. What If I Don't Make It In

    Thank you for all the encouragement and advice. I will probably end up having to retake the classes that I did poorly in if they allow it. I have already contacted the counselor at college, so I'm hoping she'll tell me my options. I was and am thinki...
  15. What If I Don't Make It In

    Hi, I'm very concerned about my Nursing path right now and it's all my fault for not studying hard enough to get all the A's that I need. I am a second year student in college pursuing a BS in Nursing right now. Our college has a guarantee acceptance...
