  1. Georgia Perimeter College (GPC) current or upcoming students

    I went and looked and I still have my schedule from first semester! Yours will definitely vary because I know there have been changes in skills lab--I don't know what they are though. For an idea,...
  2. Georgia Perimeter College (GPC) current or upcoming students

    Clinicals: You can list preferences on the clinical sheet for days/times, but it won't necessarily be honored. There is always the option of trading with a classmate for a different time slot. In...
  3. Georgia Perimeter College (GPC) current or upcoming students

    I believe you will have the iTouch. I'm not 100% positive on that though. I can try to answer questions for you about class/clinicals. The only thing predictable about the schedule is that it...
  4. bookstore = constant PAIN

    Library. It's your friend if you get there first! I have several review books from there. For peds, I also checked out a textbook. It isn't the one we use in class. It's the same authors though...
  5. What I really, really, really hate is all the talking that is going on during class. We have not had this problem so much in the past semesters, but I swear I am going to lose my mind if it doesn't...
  6. I occasionally see posts and wonder if they are from classmates. The situations that are described will sound like my school and then they'll say something like, "I'm in a BSN program." That clues...
  7. Anyone else feel dirty after Microbiology lab?

    I loved micro and it didn't really worry me too much about the germs. Try not to spill and wash hands and life should be okay. Our instructor did talk about a student who had spilled something onto...
  8. Best method for figuring dosage calculations!!!!

    I'm all about the dimensional analysis. I can't remember formulas to save my life and I also can never figure out what number goes on top and bottom. With dim. analysis, I just plug numbers in so...
  9. Should you buy new or used books for your program?

    Used all the way. I was not thrilled to hear that we were getting a new version of a textbook this year because it meant only buying new. I lucked out and found a "used" book for less than list...
  10. Do you have children?

    I have three children, 7, 5, and almost 2. When I started pre-reqs, I only had two. I was a sahm and took classes at night. My one trick to get in study time was to study with my kids. I would...
  11. trouble pronoucing some medical words

    That's not how you say it? I can't figure out how else you would say
  12. spongebath/contact precaution question

    C. diff is spread by contact, not by inhalation. You would have to put your hand to your mouth after contact to become infected. It isn't transmitted through the
  13. Baby during NS = bad idea?

    I would not have a baby on purpose during school. We tried during my pre-reqs with the plan to complete them during pregnancy and then apply so that I could go back around the time the baby was...
  14. dumb gpa question...

    I would say no (simply because nothing is rounded up in nursing school), but it's still a very good GPA. Whole lot better than
  15. A & P II or Microbiology this summer??

    I think A&P 1 and 2 are both important and I'd want both under my belt. I don't think taking them together would have worked for me though. A&P 2 was just a continuation of 1--it finished up...
