Yesterday I went to an interview at Kennestone. I gave myself 3 hours to travel there from Chattanooga so as not to be late. 6 miles from exit 267B traffic came to a halt. Ultimately, I ended up being 20 mins late. This was a 3 pm appointment, not ex...

I've been scouring the web, forums, etc for info on a good company to travel with. I've come to the conclusion there is no perfect one. Sadly, I put out feelers with AMN before I realized what I was doing. The recruiter there has called me twice a d...

Thanks so much for all the replies! I hope to land an assignment soon. I just wish my license would hurry up & get here. Oh well, couple more weeks to go.

So I graduated June 20th. I had all my stuff together, paid all the fees, etc... I check the GA BON site daily for updates. They have the receipt of my application date as 7/22/09. That's right, a month later. Its now 8/20/09 and I have yet to receiv...

I am trying to put together a teaching plan for my fundamentals class. Does anyone have any links to site where I can see examples or just any advice? TIA Ok edited to add more info. I have to do this teaching plan for a resident I have been taking c...

Ok, so I was going over the guidelines again and it should be like Deficient Knowledge related to lack of exposure? Am on the right track????

I just started my quarter on October 1st. Two weeks and some days ago. Two people are already seriously considering dropping. One because she has yet to make above a 65 on two of the fundamentals exams and she bombed the first drug calc test as well....

Oh darling. Would you be embarrassed if say, you had gotten horribly scarred pulling someone from a burning building or if you had survived a tragic auto accident?? You got those scars in saving yourself!!! Yes, they do draw attention, but you made i...

Ok, so tomorrow is my first test and I am somewhat at a disadvantage because I just received my books today. (Looooong story, I'll save you my financial woes for another day.) However, I have had the good fortune to have a buddy who let me borrow her...

Not really, but she is very clear and intimidating. She is very frank about the percentage of dropouts in our program. I was so excited when I got my acceptance letter in August, and then two weeks ago I attended orientation where she read the riot a...

I think that in order to be the director you have to be much like Joe Pesci in "Casino". J/k. Seriously though, I have been reading posts re: directors and it appears most of them are at best quirky, and at worst little Hitlers. Mine is somewhere in ...

I am nowhere near where you are at, but I know how nurses can be. just like anyone else really. I work for the USPS and trust me, when you start there you are lucky if you can get the time from someone. I think everyone gets territorial and develops ...

When I was asked this question right after selection I said that it was manifest destiny. However, I am a bit odd with a strange sense of humor. I think a sense of humor can go a long way depending on the situation/interviewer. That question to me a...

Well, strong-willed for me has negative connotations. However, that being said, my grandmother finds it to be a compliment. That your instructor chose to pair it with joyful is positive I think. She could have said strong willed and confrontational, ...

You will be fine. I am just starting my program, too and I can completely relate to what you are feeling. Everyone gets the jitters, but I am sure after a few weeks (or months maybe) we will find some kind of comfort zone. Just try to breathe and tak...

Thanks so much for all your replies. I guess I should have specified that due to a lack of instructors, she does teach classes and is very involved with the clinicals, drug calc (we have to pass a drug calc final every quarter, is it this way everywh...

I don't know about you, but whenever I took College Algebra I felt like my mind was being squeezed dry. I did all the homework and was in class and at the math lab. I'm not going to tell you how many times I just sat there numbly staring at a failing...

Ok, so I am registered for the spring quarter. This time around I have Psych 291, Speech and a developmental math. I am terrible at math. This is not a new thing for me. I have had MAT096, skipped 097, and am now in 098 with one more developmental be...

I am considering this is as well. Do you think it will improve your chances of acceptance into the nursing program? I would think it would be good just to get out there and involved. Well, good luck with it!!

My school has 40 seats a year with 300+ applicants. I feel optimistic about my odds. It seems that every year a lot of them drop out of the running to start a family or switch to the less competitive LPN program. I myself was unable to enter when I f...

I just wanted to thank everyone for their replies. Those are some excellent links and I am looking for the survival guide as we speak. I am just nervous I guess. I want my GPA to be significantly higher than it is. I just learned my school has 40 sea...
