    suture_self posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi gang, I never thought I would arrive at this place in my life, but unbelievably: Here I am. I was recently accepted to grad school at Georgia State University. I'll be following a dual track...

  2. Any ideas on ways of making extra money as an RN?

    suture_self posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi there. I've been an RN working a Medical / Surgical floor for the last handful of years. I'm also a family man with two baby boys at home and a beautiful wife. We get by on my modest earnings...

  3. ACLS certification

    suture_self posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    I would like to get my ACLS certification as painlessly as possible, and by "painlessly" I mean cheaply and quickly. The cheapest way (in fact, I would be making money by attending the classes) would...

  4. Mom & Dad were right: I'm a screw-up

    suture_self posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm into my first three weeks of nursing school and I just can't seem to get it together. Up until the beginning of this semester, I've pulled a 4.0 in EVERY class. However... I took my first test...

    suture_self replied to wife1mom3rn's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm not sure about the Stockbridge / Mcdonough area, but I think you'll do fine if wages are your main concern. I just graduated in December and found a job as a med-surg nurse at Northside Hospital...

    suture_self replied to philanurse2b's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi Gang, What better way to get the ol' foot in the door than to meet the very people who do the hiring at a JOB FAIR? In Atlanta, they're ubiquitous. In fact, there's one coming up:...

    suture_self posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm a nursing student who is one semester away from employment. Yes, I'll be graduating in December (if all goes well). So naturally I'm sitting here pondering what kind of nurse I want to be. Of...

  11. Advice for RNs who are still wet behind the ears

    suture_self posted a topic in General Nursing

    Here's the scenario: I was about to leave for home from my microbiology class, when suddenly another student (a nice lady who moonlights as an LPN) starts up a conversation that... well, I found...

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

    suture_self posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    With GPC's graduating classes getting smaller and smaller every semester and with all the horror stories being bandied about, I thought it might be fun (and informative) to hear from the graduates who...

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

    suture_self replied to suture_self's topic in Georgia Nursing

    WOW! CONGRATULATIONS!!! By the way, I'm glad you both posted to this barren thread... I was beginning to think that noone has ever graduated from GPC! You've given hope to us all... and not moment...

  15. GPC Letters

    suture_self replied to lakemommy24's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Dmarie - Thanks for the honesty, not to mention the lengthy reply . You basically confirmed everything I already knew... The fact that roughly 10% of their classes graduate is GPC's dirty little...

  16. GPC Letters

    suture_self replied to lakemommy24's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm sure you have specific reasons for recommending that we look elsewhere. So, if you don't mind, what are they? I've already begun to look elsewhere. I've applied to KSU, GSU, and Georgia...

  18. GPC Letters

    suture_self replied to lakemommy24's topic in Georgia Nursing

    If you took the test on the morning of April 6 at Clarkston, then I was the guy who asked RW when we could expect to receive our scores (if you weren't there, then trust me... I did :nuke:). She said...

  19. GPC Letters

    suture_self replied to lakemommy24's topic in Georgia Nursing

    lakemommy24 - I believe Renee Wright said something to the effect that anything over 80 is excellent and that she had only ever seen a few people score much higher than that. But like you, my memory...

  20. GPC Letters

    suture_self replied to lakemommy24's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I've come to commiserate. I've applied for fall 2006 as well and like yourselves, I have not received my letter yet. There's been this knot in stomach ever since I took the NET on April 6. I did just...

  21. Nurse Shadows

    suture_self posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi, I'm a male pre-nursing student at GPC. I will be shadowing an ER nurse (it's what I think I want to do) at Northside Hospital in two weeks. It's an opportunity that I'm excited to have, however I...
