2. "I am not a robot!"

   Adriane82 posted a topic in Stress 101

   On Monday, July 8, 2018, the staff members of the emergency department in which I work were given devastating news. Our beloved coworker, a well-respected RN, adored by all who knew her, was involved in a major motor vehicle accident the night prior....

3. MCG Clinical Nurse Leader - Fall 2010

   Adriane82 replied to chendamoni's topic in Georgia

   First semester clinical has mostly been about pre-planning, observation, and development of assessment skills. Other than that, we are not allowed to give detail about clinical experiences (such as which hospital we are assigned to, which unit we are...

   I am pretty sure as long as your license is in good standing you can work in any state as an RN. Remember the school grants the degree (MSN), the license of RN is obtained from passing the NCLEX-RN and then some will choose to test for the CNL extra ...

   Out of the 29 in our class this year in Athens, I would say we have atleast 6 or 7 who commute from the greater Atlanta area. Some of them have worked out carpools to cut down on individual driving. I am local so I won't speak to how much harder that...

   Hi Anne, I am also at the Athens campus with my two classmates who have already replied to you. The program is awesome! I think that your GPA, plus A's and B's in prereqs plus a good GRE will really make you a competitive candidate. You might want to...

7. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

   Adriane82 replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

   If those who earn the degree of DNP (doctor of nursing practice) cannot refer to themselves as "Doctor" in the clinical setting due to the fact that "patients will be confused," then Medical Assistants should not be allowed to refer to themselves as ...

8. What degree is best for a new nursing student? CNL, BSN or RN?

   Adriane82 replied to jdb156's topic in General Nursing

   I will start an MSN-CNL program next month. There are many pros to going the master's route. For one, as a graduate student, you are eligible to borrow way more in federal loan money than you are as a second bachelor's degree student. If you are full...

9. Nursing schools in Georgia that waive/do not require GRE

   Adriane82 replied to jenniferfnp2b's topic in New Nurse

   You have to think about this logically. Since GPA is subjective, most any school worth its salt has to require a standardized test to evenly judge applicants. A 4.0 at one school with a less rigorous reputation might only translate to a 3.5 at anothe...

10. Nursing schools in Georgia that waive/do not require GRE

    Adriane82 replied to jenniferfnp2b's topic in New Nurse

    I am pretty sure that MCG allows you to use the MAT (Miller Analogies Test) in lieu of the GRE for their graduate nursing programs except for the CRNA. I am starting the MSN-CNL program next month and I used my MAT in lieu of the GRE as I did far-and...

    elizanne- check out scrubs made by Izzy, Peaches, or Greys Anatomy. The styles they carry in stores tend to be more "trendy" as far as colors but many uniform stores can order you anything that the companies make, so I'd ask to order a plain navy if...

    Thank you! I will be glad to know something soon so I can pay my tuition and fees and hopefully they will allow me to borrow enough to get through and still be able to eat LOL!

    ugadawg--was your class from the American Heart Association? AHA is what MCG requires. I would think as long as it is AHA and it won't expire right away you would be fine. You just probably want to make sure and renew it during the school year if it ...

    Kateo, Good thinking about using Student Health. I finished UGA in 2004 and so have been out of school (full time student status, anyway) for a while. I forget that some people who just graduated might still be able to use their college Health Center...

    Thanks for all the research on the books, gals. Question about financial aid--I did the Entrance Loan Counseling and signed all the promissory notes...has anyone else done this already and know how long (how many days) before the loan award amount w...
