  1. When to start applying for jobs in atlanta, ga

    Hi! I'd call Piedmont and ask them when to apply. I'm doing clinicals there right now, and I really like the hospital. I'm sure if you called and asked them when they would like you to apply, they'd...
  2. Best way to RN?

    Hi Iflew! I'm so sorry this happened to you. If I were you, I'd try for a 2nd degree BSN. I'm in a accelerated BSN that doesn't require a bachelor's degree right now, and it's terribly hard, but I...
  3. Deciding between RN vs PA vs MD

    I agree with what everyone has said. Maybe you could shadow a nurse and see what their day is like? 83studentnurse is right on about the ABSN programs. I'm in semester one of four of my program,...
  4. Okay, I'm not a CRNA or SRNA, but I am in an accelerated BSN program so I can reply to that part of the question. The program is very intense, but I am learning so much. Our school has a 98% pass...
  5. Required High School GPA for nursing school?

    sorry, didn't mean to push the thanks button. CNA = Certified Nursing Assistant. It takes awhile to learn the lingo. You'll get it! I didn't go to nursing school until I already had lots of...
  6. Introduction & Question

    I definitely think you're doing a smart thing by getting this position now. It'll give you a head start in your first semester! You'll figure out everything else once you start. There's always...
  7. Introduction & Question

    Hi Stephanie! I don't exactly what PCA's do, but a girl in one of my classes got a job as a PCA with no experience. They trained her on the job. Are you planning on working as a PCA while in your...
  8. Chattahoochee Tech

    I don't think most nursing programs run background checks. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. The problem she might run into is being placed in clinicals or getting your nursing license. There...
  9. I Am Disturbed

    Thanks Vito. There are some people who are really rude with their responses on this website. I'm glad someone finally said something about it. I read that post and thought that was pretty mean with...
  10. Where to go?

    You should go to Spokane, WA. It's about 4 1/2 hours east of Seattle, almost over into Idaho. I grew up in Seattle and my mom and sister live in Spokane now. When I go to visit, I wish I lived there...
  11. Below 3.0 GPA and you still got in?

    Yeah, I'd think about retaking A&P 2, and maybe a couple of the classes you did poorly in to show that you have gotten things figured out and are willing to work hard. Go talk to a nursing...
  12. exactly, why not!! I don't know of any other schools that do this, but I'm sure that there are others. Hope this helped Smile4me
  13. I don't know where you live, but Georgia State University has an accelerated BSN for which you don't need a previous degree. All you have to do is finish all of the prereq's before starting. I'm...
  14. January entry for accelerated programs

    If you move in an area outside of downtown Atlanta, cost of living here is very inexpensive. I really like Kennesaw or Marietta, and these are right next to Kennesaw State University. This is...
  15. January entry for accelerated programs

    Georgia State University and Kennesaw State University, both in the Atlanta area offer January entry. Kennesaw State also offers a summer entry as well. I know they're not in the middle of the US,...
  16. Military??

    Hi, I don't have specific answers to your questions, but I do know that you need to speak with a healthcare recruiter. I'm in Atlanta, and the one I've been speaking to is wonderful. They can get...
  17. Air Force HPSP & Navy NCP questions

    Hey guys, I had to reply since I've been talking with a Navy nurse recruiter. The Navy Nurse Candidate Program gives you a $10,000 bonus, $5,000 up front, and $5,000 six months later, and this is...
  18. Back home

    Hi Dan, I see that you said you will work 84 hours per week. Is that right? Did you mean every two weeks?? If that's right, it doesn't seem like you'd have much time to do anything but work and...
  19. aid

    Go the financial aid department of the school that you will be going to. They can help you figure out which kinds of loans would be best for you. Most often, you can get federal government loans,...

    Good luck V! Let us know how it
  21. Starting nursing school/career and have ?'s

    Hey V - No, they don't assume she knows anything going into the RN program. If you look at the course descriptions it tells you what the courses involve. Nurs 194 is Nursing Theory, Nurs 195 is...
  22. Starting nursing school/career and have ?'s

    V - Rosewood built our house too! It's too bad, but they went out of business a few months ago. We're having a few problems in our neighborhood because of builders going out of business. Oh well,...

  24. Starting nursing school/career and have ?'s

    Yes, she absolutely can enter straight into the RN program! If she wants to be an RN anyways, it would probably be a better move to go straight into that program. Less money. I understand about the...
  25. Would this work??

    Yes they would accept you!! I took my prereqs at a technical college and then was able to get into a great school! Just try to get A's in all your sciences. That will really help. Good
