   Oh and I would get your name on yours...A lot of Dr.s like to walk away with them..but if your names on them it gives you more hope of it coming back to you. I personally really don't like loaning out my $200 stethoscope but sometimes in the moment o...

9. Does North GA have enough lab time?

   nrice28 replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Georgia

   I think so..b/c if you need extra time you can just stay after class. Plus if you want even more time you can drive to Dahlonega and use as much time as you need. I was able to just stay after class and get all my practicing in. Plus I went home and ...

    nrice28 replied to RNenthusiast's topic in New Nurse

    Medsurg ortho is also great experience. You not only get the medical patients like renal, diabetics, HF, etc..but you also get the surgical patients. Its totally different when they just come out of surgery. But hip fractures do sorta get old after a...

    nrice28 replied to Futurenursingstud3nt's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You can get in with that GPA! I had a 3.2 when I got accepted. Apply to all of them. I am assuming Florida is as competitive as GA. If I can do it, seriously, anyone can. don't give up. Even if you get denial letters just keep plugging at it. I did, ...

    Where I work new grads have to have a preceptor for 90 days. Alot of people moan and groan about it but I am actually really glad. I don't want to feel totally lost. I started as a tech this last summer and I shadowed another tech for a month. I felt...
