I have no idea, it just says that in the letter -_-;

Techinically the requirements say no tennis shoes and no clogs...... which doesnt leave a lot of options. I dont know how strict they are on that though

What kind of shoes would you suggest for nursing school clinicals? Our requirements are that they have to be white, rubber sole, and leather-like outside.

So I know I'll need a stethoscope for nursing school, what brand do you recommend? Did your school require a certain color or were you allowed to pick? I currently have a Littmann 3 with black tubing and rainbow finish on the chestpiece on my Christmas wish list!

I am currently in training to work at an assisted living facility that has a special building for 'memory care' specifically for dealing with residents who have dementia or Alzheimers. There is a lot more hands on tasks in the memory care like dressing, bathing, feeding, and changing brief of residents since they can no longer do it themselves where as in assisted living you help with similar tasks but they are mostly capable of everything and just need someone there for their safety. I plan on working part time here as I go through nursing school and have to decide which side I want to work on. My question is would working in memory care provide me with experience more in line with what a nurse's responsibilities are? I feel like the assisted living side would be much easier to stay on top of school but I could really work either one but if memory care gets me more prepared for my future I'd probably pick that one.

I think a Facebook page is a great idea! Just v be sure you make it clear its not run by the university so it doesnt cause any issues with administration.

I got accepted as well!!!!! So excited 😀

That sounds like an awesome plan! I am pretty sure I got the job as a caregiver at the assisted living place, but if for some reason that doesn't work out I'll definitely go with that plan! Do you think working as a caregiver will provide at least some experience that would benefit me in the future?

Yes! I am so excited but nervous! Best of luck to you too (:

I failed the math section on my first hesi and only had one science class completed

I actually have an interview today for a caregiver at an assisted living facility near me (:

Yes it is! I currently am just like lookings for a way out right now so im just look for something with on the job training (i live near a major medical campus so theres actually quite a few openings) but am looking into to getting certifications like that in the future! Also i put in my two week notice yesterday because it reallt felt like good timing to leave my current job. So I've sent out a lot of applications to various places!

Prettywishes, i would definitely look into it more! From what i heard most hospitals are constantly hiring techs! Especially if yoy live near a rather large hospital!

I have a feeling if I don't beat them to the punch ill be getting fired. It really sucks! Im sorry ypu were put in that position. I am currently filling out an application to be a physical therapy aide at my local hospital for a part time job. Now i have to find a way to tell my boss I'm looking into other options.-.

I could do that! Honestly right now Im just tryinf to find a place so I can quit my current job cause its awful. But I'll definitely look into it!

Thanks! You may not know the answer to this part but do you go and talk to someone at the hospital to find out about the position? Or would you go to the 'corporate plaza'? .-. Sorry thats kind of an odd question lol i guess its better to ask where did you go to get the interview?

Okay so I currently work as a karate coach but am slowly getting screwed over at every chance my bosses get. They know I plan on quitting when I start nursing school (hopefully this spring!) since I will no longer be able to be there for the hours I'm needed. It is literally like they are trying to get me to quit. I am looking into other jobs that would get me experience for my future as a nurse. If anyone has any suggestions I should look into that'd be awesome! (: I am currently most interested in some sort tech position at Northeast Georgia Medical Center, so if anyone has insight into that process I'd love to hear it.

I applied to Gainesville, but I've heard a lot of different things about acceptance. One person i talked to, who supposedly talked to an advisor about this so im hoping its true, said that even if you preferred campus is full and you still get into the program you'll just be sent to the other campus. Now i can't wait til the end of the summer!

Does anyone have any clue when acceptances/rejections will be sent out? I applied with a 3.76 GPA anda 91 on the HESI, after taking it a second time. I applied for the fall but it 'wasn't my application term' as my advisor put it, so I'm done with all the classes leading up the the program this fall. I'm so nervous yet excited at the same time! Good luck to all of you! (:
