    Is Emory's Nursing School worth the extremely high tuition??

    yellow finch replied to mandee2024's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I did my L&D at WellStar Cobb. At first I wasn't looking forward to the clinical only because I've never been around pregnancy, and didn't feel like I fit in. After the first day I wanted to...

    Is Emory's Nursing School worth the extremely high tuition??

    yellow finch replied to mandee2024's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I remember going to one of Emory's information sessions back in the day. Their instructors, professors, program plan, and presentation all impressed me. I also thought highly of the school's name. So...

    yellow finch replied to core0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Same here. I started off as a f/t student, but had to drop back to p/t because I was unable to arrange my work schedule around all those clinical hours AND classroom time. Total of 3 years. One more...

    online programs or traditional programs???

    yellow finch replied to buster4's topic in Post Graduate Students

    When it comes to graduate programs you have to be certain they are, at the minimum, regionally accredited. Doesn't hurt if they are NLNAC accredited as well. If they cover the regional bases you...

    University of Phoenix MSN Program

    yellow finch replied to bsweilrn's topic in School, College Programs

    I appreciate all the comments on your decision to attend UoP. It was never an option for me because I'm in a FNP program which they don't offer. Being such a huge online school with a great deal of...

    Wondering why you can't get hired or promoted? Resume + Interview hints!

    yellow finch replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes! Apply! I'm sure they may be looking for a nurse who has more experience, but I also believe that they would be wise to hire someone who has a passion for the work. If you're honest about your...

    yellow finch replied to buster4's topic in Post Graduate Students

    No problem! I'm more than happy to help out. I had to do my search and learn things the hard way (as described in my first post). If anything I say helps you make a decision then it's worth the time!...

    Anyone starting a traditional MSN program in the fall?

    yellow finch replied to HealthyRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I attended the program f/t the first year since didactic doesn't take up as much time as clinicals. The second year of the program I'm doing p/t in order to continue working f/t. I rely on that...

    online programs or traditional programs???

    yellow finch replied to buster4's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The first set of clinicals was for Health Assess, and we were allowed to choose from NP/PA/MD/DO. After that, it has to be a NP or MD/DO. I simply approached the people that I felt would be good...

    After-graduation is too late to apply for jobs?

    yellow finch replied to tabycat's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Which area are you interested in working? I see your profile mentions Women's Health. WH is tough to get into even with experience. However, L&D or M/B at a place like Northside is always...

    atlanta new grad jobs!

    yellow finch replied to philanurse2b's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Without any experience you'll probably have difficulty finding a prn position. That's because it costs a dept. money to train a new grad. If you're only going to work a couple of days here and there...

    yellow finch replied to philanurse2b's topic in Georgia Nursing

    As far as I know there is still a noticeable shortage. The only problem you might run into with your first job is finding a dept. that hasn't already taken on their maximum number of new grads. I know...

    yellow finch replied to 7starbuck7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm also graduating in Dec. '08! It feels like an eternity away! If I could have afforded to go f/t all the way I'd be done this Dec. *sigh* Well, it's worth being able to work in my specialty area...

    yellow finch replied to RN28MD's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just for clarification, NPs can and do work in any specialty with some exceptions in surgery. I'd really, really enjoy being a first assist, but can't seem to find a program close enough to allow me...
