   klrmom replied to azebe00's topic in General Nursing

   Most schools do not require non-trads to take the SAT. That's what the compass is for... it's generally for people who did not take the SAT or who have been out of school for a while. Of course, I...

2. night shift and day classes

   klrmom replied to namahshivaya's topic in General Nursing

   A friend of mine works night-shift in a jail. They work 7 days on, then 7 days off, so her situation is probably a little easier than only having a day or 2 off in between. On her last work night, she...

3. Am I making the right decision

   klrmom replied to mswim's topic in General Nursing

   I work in a call-center... obviously not the same type of job. (I'm just getting started on my nursing pre-reqs). However, I think your situation occurs in a lot of different places. Is it the actual...

4. Does anybody else get this from family or friends.....

   klrmom replied to vccorscc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Narnian, I was the same way... couldn't even handle the thought of blood lol. I wanted to be a nurse... puke, poop, broken bones, etc didn't bother me, but show me some blood and I'd pass out. So, I...

5. To work or not to work?

   klrmom replied to tmarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I think it all depends on the individual. Nursing school requires a big time commitment and it's hard to get a job that will work around your school schedule. I'm still taking prereqs, in fact really...

9. Chattahoochee Technical College-ADN Fall Semester

   klrmom replied to Lynettakp's topic in Georgia Nursing

   I went to Chatt Tech a few years ago (was thinking of getting my LPN, but we moved away). I only went for 2 semesters, but I can't say a single bad thing about the school. All of my teachers were very...

    Hello all! I think I have FINALLY found the school for me! I currently live in the Dalton, GA area, but for personal reasons, I don't want to go to Dalton State. I was looking into Chatt State and...

11. Help Need Advice ,RN or LPN?

    klrmom replied to soladylike1's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm assuming you'll find out if you're into the RN program before the LPN starts? If your ultimate goal is RN and you ARE accepted this fall, then I would go that route... if you're NOT accepted, I...

    klrmom replied to allanina03's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have always thought about doing pediatric oncology. I'm a HUGE supporter of hospitals like St. Jude's because I lost a friend at a young age to cancer. What gets me is when people (like my dad) say...

    I know this is an old post, but just in case you're still on here... Emory in Atlanta, GA also has an ADN-MSN program. You have to take a semester of "bridge" courses before starting the program. It's...

    I have to take the Compass as well. My school gave 2 websites to help "prepare" for the exam. Honestly, I haven't looked at them yet.... just got my letter yesterday lol. Hope they help!...
