1. require to take SAT if you're nontraditional studnet?

   klrmom replied to azebe00's topic in General Nursing

   Most schools do not require non-trads to take the SAT. That's what the compass is for... it's generally for people who did not take the SAT or who have been out of school for a while. Of course, I would pick the school that DOES require the SAT lol. ...

2. night shift and day classes

   klrmom replied to namahshivaya's topic in General Nursing

   A friend of mine works night-shift in a jail. They work 7 days on, then 7 days off, so her situation is probably a little easier than only having a day or 2 off in between. On her last work night, she stays up all day... she doesn't even give herself...

3. Am I making the right decision

   klrmom replied to mswim's topic in General Nursing

   I work in a call-center... obviously not the same type of job. (I'm just getting started on my nursing pre-reqs). However, I think your situation occurs in a lot of different places. Is it the actual job that you don't like, or is it the management, ...

4. Does anybody else get this from family or friends.....

   klrmom replied to vccorscc's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Narnian, I was the same way... couldn't even handle the thought of blood lol. I wanted to be a nurse... puke, poop, broken bones, etc didn't bother me, but show me some blood and I'd pass out. So, I took a phlebotomy course. I figured if it turns out...

5. To work or not to work?

   klrmom replied to tmarie's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think it all depends on the individual. Nursing school requires a big time commitment and it's hard to get a job that will work around your school schedule. I'm still taking prereqs, in fact really just getting started on prereqs. Right now, I work...

6. Pregnant inmate died after hours of agony in Syracuse jail

   klrmom replied to realnursealso/LPN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   One of my family members is in jail... he's bipolar and is denied his medication... then he gets in trouble for being violent. Hello?!?! I just don't get it sometimes... so sad.

7. Did you go through Rn Residency program or "regular" orientation??

   bump... I would like to hear of experiences as well!

   Sorry, I can't help to identify these, but what a cool idea for a collection!

9. Chattahoochee Technical College-ADN Fall Semester

   klrmom replied to Lynettakp's topic in Georgia

   I went to Chatt Tech a few years ago (was thinking of getting my LPN, but we moved away). I only went for 2 semesters, but I can't say a single bad thing about the school. All of my teachers were very helpful... in fact, all of the staff was very hel...

10. GHC Fall Semester 2009

    klrmom replied to HopeForMelissa's topic in Georgia

    I am going to start my prereqs probably summer 2010. I would love to start in Spring so that I can apply to the program sooner, BUT I am pregnant and due January 7th... even if I could do only online courses for Spring, I really really really want to...

11. GHC prereq question

    klrmom posted a topic in Georgia

    Hello all! I think I have FINALLY found the school for me! I currently live in the Dalton, GA area, but for personal reasons, I don't want to go to Dalton State. I was looking into Chatt State and Cleveland State, but that would put me out of state. ...

12. Help Need Advice ,RN or LPN?

    klrmom replied to soladylike1's topic in Georgia

    I'm assuming you'll find out if you're into the RN program before the LPN starts? If your ultimate goal is RN and you ARE accepted this fall, then I would go that route... if you're NOT accepted, I would go the LPN route. I have 2 kids (and a 3rd one...

13. Darton College Online Program

    klrmom replied to vallie007's topic in General Nursing

    BUMP Did you ever find out? I am a good 5 hours away, but if I only have to drive down once a week (even if I have to stay overnight), it is so worth it for me. I work full time, and have 2 little ones, so flexibility is a wonderful thing. Let me kno...

14. Nursing Misconceptions

    klrmom replied to allanina03's topic in New Nurse

    I have always thought about doing pediatric oncology. I'm a HUGE supporter of hospitals like St. Jude's because I lost a friend at a young age to cancer. What gets me is when people (like my dad) say "Ugh... I just couldn't be around those sick kids ...

15. anyone done ADN-MSN NP?

    klrmom replied to celclt's topic in NP

    I know this is an old post, but just in case you're still on here... Emory in Atlanta, GA also has an ADN-MSN program. You have to take a semester of "bridge" courses before starting the program. It's geared towards students who are already working f...
