3. Tattoos and nursing

   NurseOhLa replied to PrincessJessica's topic in General Nursing

   I'm about to begin my 3rd semester of a BSN program, and so far I have noticed the school is a lot more strict regarding tattoos/piercings than the actual hospital. I only have 3 tattoos, but 2 are very visible. One in red on the inside of my forea...

5. How many study hours per night (do you average?)

   NurseOhLa replied to Equinox_93's topic in General Students

   thanks so much for your honest opinion. I just don't have time to study the hours that some people have listed. I'm going to try and implement something along your lines and see how I do the first test-go round. If I don't do well, then I'll have ...

6. How many study hours per night (do you average?)

   NurseOhLa replied to Equinox_93's topic in General Students

   I am reading through all your study suggestion posts and I just cannot BELIEVE how much you guys get to study!! I just began a BSN program, and I am stressed out already. We don't have much due until mid-February, but I'm already stressing about the...

8. Kennesaw State Spring 2009

   NurseOhLa replied to p421clcp's topic in Georgia

   School started on the 8th, so I'd give it one more week or so if you're on the standby list. After that, I don't think there'll be a big chance of very many people dropping out. We don't have any exams/quizzes until middle-Feb so people can't go by...

   NurseOhLa replied to BamBam87316's topic in Georgia

   Hey guys, good luck with Spring 2009. They asked me the same question TJ wrote about regarding difficulty with a patient/customer. Also they asked: 1. Why have you chosen nursing, what lead to here? 2. What experience do you have in the medical fi...

    NurseOhLa posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone! I am due to start a nursing bsn program in January. I'm new to the school and don't know anyone who will be in the starting classes with me. I have high (probably too optimistic) hopes of making some good friends if not study buddies. ...

12. I need some information on Kennesaw State University!

    NurseOhLa replied to FNP13's topic in General Nursing

    Hey there- I just got into KSU for Spring 2009 as a traditional student. I am in a situation almost identical to yours, except I have one young child (13 months). I took only one class a semester last year when he was born, then upped it to part-...

    NurseOhLa replied to p421clcp's topic in Georgia

    I have to submit my agreement/confirmation by Sept. 30th. I'm on campus today so I'll be bringing it in to Fran after class. Keep in mind though, that people drop out after they submit their agreements too. As for requesting different campus stand...

    NurseOhLa replied to p421clcp's topic in Georgia

    I got accepted into the traditional..I don't hold a bachelors in anything else, just lots and lots of credit hours lol. I was going to attend GPC if KSU didn't accept me, but it would have been a much longer drive and an AN program despite having ju...

    NurseOhLa replied to p421clcp's topic in Georgia

    Oh, I'm sorry you got standby:( The amount of people they accept for accelerated program is like 2/3 less than traditional, and I'm not sure if the same amount or less people apply. I hope some people go elsewhere so you can grab a slot!!!
