  1. Anyone ever work full time while getting their RN?

    VRGirl replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am in the same boat you are - I will be working full-time and going to school full-time. Do I want to torture myself that way? No. But I have no choice in the matter so I will do whatever it...

  2. Worried that my school is an idiot!!!

    VRGirl replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    HA! The EXACT same thing happened to me. Does the right hand know what the left hand is

  3. What was your HARDEST class?

    VRGirl replied to LADYFLOWER's topic in General Nursing

    I must be the odd one. I breezed through micro and chem, but toiled through the first semester of a&p. I did find the second semester to be easier

  4. Working and going to Nursing School

    VRGirl replied to ga girl's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I am in the same boat. Don't have a choice - need to work to pay rent, bills, etc. Good luck to both of

  5. Southern Nurses Please Help!

    VRGirl replied to AngelicLady's topic in General Nursing

    Come on up to Atlanta! The summers are hot and humid but you are probably used to that, and we do get a couple of months of winter (it might snow once a year or it might not). Having traveled to...

  6. GPC Prereqs

    VRGirl replied to marinemommy's topic in Georgia Nursing

    No, you don't have to have all of your pre-reqs completed before applying. But they do advise you to have all courses completed before starting the actual nursing program so that you can concentrate...

  7. All Current GPC Nursing Students

    VRGirl replied to leusher's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Ditto for me on the study

  8. How hard is Statistics?

    VRGirl replied to soko2002's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was never a great math student, but I loved my statistics class! Just think of the problems as puzzles that you need to figure

  9. GPC Students - how was your semester?

    VRGirl replied to rollie's topic in Georgia Nursing

    That is what I am afraid of - failing out of GPC's program - especially since I still have to work to support myself. I have a much better chance of making it through an LPN program and then bridging...

  10. GPC Students - how was your semester?

    VRGirl replied to rollie's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I moved recently and just got my acceptance letter today. I am torn about whether or not to accept. It is either this or the "go to LPN school and then bridge to RN" route, but I have heard so many...

  11. ADN program Financial Aid question

    VRGirl replied to GAbuzzfan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really don't know since I haven't checked into it. I suggest talking directly to the financial aid office. Be sure to let us know what you find

  12. ADN program Financial Aid question

    VRGirl replied to GAbuzzfan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will be eligible for student loans for grad school. That is a totally different

  13. ADN program Financial Aid question

    VRGirl replied to GAbuzzfan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in the same boat. I wish I had words of wisdom, but so far the only option I have come up with is private

  14. pre-reqs taken years ago...

    VRGirl replied to dvas00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have found that most schools require science pre-reqs (or at least A&P) to have been within the past 5-7

  15. The few... the proud... THE GPC GRADS

    VRGirl replied to suture_self's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Congratulations to any and all GPC grads - you do seem to be few and far between! I no longer think I can do that to myself.

  16. GPC Letters

    VRGirl replied to lakemommy24's topic in Georgia Nursing

    That does it. I am not going to GPC even if I receive an acceptance letter. I will take the LPN route and then bridge to RN. Not that that will be a piece of cake either, but at least I won't be...

  17. GPC Letters

    VRGirl replied to lakemommy24's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I was told that they choose the top candidates and don't even look at which campus you supposedly applied

  18. GPC Letters

    VRGirl replied to lakemommy24's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I am also waiting on a letter, but I have serious reservations about GPC. I am not sure I will go there even if I am

  19. Accutane

    VRGirl replied to BGgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Accutane was the best (cosmetic) investment I ever made! My dermatologist told me I would have adult acne until I went through menopause. We tried everything else first, but nothing worked. I...

  20. LPN-BSN Programs?

    VRGirl replied to KaraThrace's topic in LPN to RN

    There aren't any LPN-BSN programs in the Atlanta area that I know of (and I have looked). There are a couple of LPN-RN programs (ADN), then you can do RN-BSN after that. That might be the route I...

  21. GPC Students - how was your semester?

    VRGirl replied to rollie's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Now you are scaring the heck out of me - I might be in the fall

  22. Nursing pre reqs..going back to school

    VRGirl replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you will find that there will be many students older than you in most of the nursing

  23. new to Bradenton area- looking for school

    VRGirl replied to mkcrturner's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think that any of the public schools will require 12 months residency in order to pay in-state tuition; otherwise you will have to pay out-of-state tuition. Residency doesn't matter with a private...

  24. New here and seeking advise re: admission to Nursing School

    VRGirl replied to luvlilly's topic in Georgia Nursing

    You probably will have to take the TEAS even if you already have a degree. I have a Bachelor's degree as well, and I am taking the NET in two days. Doing well on the TEAS will actually help your...

  25. LVN program at a private school VS. R.O.P. school?

    VRGirl replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Just from what I have read on this board (not first hand knowledge), the private schools do not have a waiting
