    HopefulRN2010 replied to ShowersRN4's topic in Georgia Nursing

  10. Do nurses learn how to read EKG's and do phlebotomy?

    HopefulRN2010 replied to TamTammers's topic in General Nursing

    We learned both while I was in nursing school. However, I think you would have a pretty easy time getting a tech position in the Emergency Department, if that is an area that interests you. While in...

    HopefulRN2010 replied to wnwgsl's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Sorry, I just stumbled upon your post! But I did have a quick question for you. I was wondering when you applied to CHOA did you apply to a specific new grad position or any RN position? Just trying...

    HopefulRN2010 replied to ToyiaC.Jack's topic in General Students

    I absolutely LOVED peds! It is what I went to Nursing School for and it really reenforced why I wanted to be a nurse. The NICU was my favorite part, which is where I will hopefully end up someday :)...

    HopefulRN2010 replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    HopefulRN2010 replied to FutureRNmommy89's topic in General Students

    HopefulRN2010 replied to eyeball's topic in General Students

    In my first quarter of nursing school, I had a HORRIBLE instructor. I , as well as all my other clinical group, absolutely dreaded going to clinical each and everyday. I pushed through it and kept my...

    Yeah I was told the same thing going in. I did luck out an get in the 90's, but I didn't have a 4.0 GPA, and they look at a combination of both. A majority of the class did get in the 90's, so I feel...

    HopefulRN2010 replied to HopefulRN2010's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks for replying. Most of the hospitals I've been applying at only accept online applications, and even when you call to check on it you get an automated system. I've tried several of the hospitals...

  22. Searching for NLN sites!

    HopefulRN2010 replied to kh877's topic in Georgia Nursing
