    hyunjoo82 replied to Lindsay_11's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Congrats to the rising juniors! :) My name is Helen and I am a rising senior. I read your discussions to see what you guys are concerned about and I thought maybe hearing from a senior could help you...

    hyunjoo82 replied to nrice28's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Congrats on getting accepted! Did you attend the July 19th orientation or are you going to the August 9th orientation? I was there representing GBANS at our booth & will be there again on August...

  3. GBCON Mercer

    hyunjoo82 replied to nrice28's topic in Georgia Nursing

    As a word of advice from previous experience, don't give up hope on acceptance. I was accepted kind of "last minute" for fall 2009 but then I didn't pass one of my pre-requisites & couldn't start...

  4. To Swab or Not to Swab......

    hyunjoo82 replied to Testa Rosa, RN's topic in Patient Medications

    I am taught at my nursing school to swab everything just so you get in the habit of doing it to every vial. They do tell us that new vials may not need swabbing but it never hurts to take extra...

    hyunjoo82 replied to nrice28's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I added you to be Facebook friends. :) I just remembered that I made it so that I wasn't so easily searchable on Facebook so that's probably why you couldn't find me. Haha. Next year should definitely...

    hyunjoo82 replied to nrice28's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Actually, I got my financial aid package from the school and unfortunately, it wasn't able to cover my entire tuition let alone any extra costs like books and fees. I'm looking into some private loans...

    hyunjoo82 replied to nrice28's topic in Georgia Nursing

    hyunjoo82 replied to nrice28's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I agree, never underestimate the power of personal touch. I found this to be very helpful and they worked with me for an entire year as I kept filling them in about my status as I met my...

    hyunjoo82 replied to kraam's topic in Georgia Nursing

    there's a program in suwanee on lawrenceville-suwanee road and I-85. it's a 7 week course and the class is small (more student/professor communication) and it's run by an RN who has a heart for future...

  10. To my preceptor, future students beware (rant)

    hyunjoo82 replied to leekun2010's topic in General Nursing

    you know what they say... what goes around comes around that's my life/career/attitude motto and to treat others the way you would like to be treated which is with respect, understanding, and patience...

  11. Emory Midtown potential PCT job..

    hyunjoo82 replied to Cert2Fied's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Unfortunately I live an hour away from Griffin. Thanks for the tidbit though. I actually got some job leads once I started looking into non-hospital jobs. I figure I'll take whatever place I can get...

  12. Can you have RN certification in more than one state?

    hyunjoo82 replied to HighNursingGoals's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks for the reply! Your information was very helpful to me. I'll have to check out the travel nursing forum soon. Hopefully it's a career path for me to choose from.

    hyunjoo82 replied to j_tay1981's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm also a new CNA grad and will be starting nursing school in six months. I've been trying to find a job as a CNA for the past two months with no luck at hospitals. I really wanted to work in a...

  14. GSU FALL 2010

    hyunjoo82 replied to bellefemme's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks! I was accepted into Mercer's program last year but couldn't start because of various reasons. I reactivated my application for this year and got in again. I start next fall so I haven't...

  15. Emory Midtown potential PCT job..

    hyunjoo82 replied to Cert2Fied's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I had a friend who seemed to be in a similar situation as you with Emory-Midtown (or was it CHOA, I forget). They seem to be very thorough with their job applicants... the reason it took so long for...

  16. The waiting game! For everyone starting Summer/Fall 2010

    hyunjoo82 replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I am done with my pre-nursing credits and currently taking a couple of courses to transfer to the school I will be attending for my BSN. I spent a year playing the "waiting game" for applicants and...

  17. tired of hearing it, nursing students PLEASE answer

    hyunjoo82 replied to ChervRN's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your reply :) I think with any job/career, there are similar stories. In my previous work experiences, I've had to deal with lots of crazy nonsense and had to do a lot of grunt work. At the...

  18. tired of hearing it, nursing students PLEASE answer

    hyunjoo82 replied to ChervRN's topic in General Students

    Good luck with school! Thanks for posting this encouragement. I, too, got a little tired with people telling me it's going to suck. And then there are others on the opposite spectrum who have no idea...

  19. Can you have RN certification in more than one state?

    hyunjoo82 replied to HighNursingGoals's topic in Georgia Nursing

    So if I'm a RN in the state of Georgia but want to look into travel nursing, would I still be able to keep my RN license for Georgia while being a travel nurse? And will being a travel nurse limit me...

  20. Georgia Baptist College of Nursing Fall 2009

    hyunjoo82 replied to GaMommy81's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I know it may not be the same for me next fall but what days are you taking these classes? Is it Monday thru Thursday or Monday thru Friday? And where are the clinicals at? Do you live near campus or...

  21. Georgia Baptist College of Nursing Fall 2009

    hyunjoo82 replied to GaMommy81's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Yes, perhaps we can be study buddies! If you have facebook, look me up and tell me who you are/where I know you from.

  22. GSU FALL 2010

    hyunjoo82 replied to bellefemme's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Good luck everyone! Unfortunately, after three years of taking prerequisites to try and get into GSU's program, I decided I could not get in. Not a competitive enough GPA and TEAS/NET score. I focused...

  23. Kennesaw Accelerated BSN Fall 2010

    hyunjoo82 replied to TT22's topic in Georgia Nursing

    This was the reason I fell in love with Mercer. It's worth the tuition and loans I may owe when I'm done. After a year of sending out applications to other schools that said no, I felt I wasn't going...

  24. Kennesaw Accelerated BSN Fall 2010

    hyunjoo82 replied to TT22's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I had a 3.2 program GPA and an 83 on the TEAS and I was rejected by KSU three times last year. They said they had over 600 applicants for each application period and they kept telling me to reapply....

  25. TEAS Scores

    hyunjoo82 replied to darrarizer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The thing I noticed about the TEAS was that the problems weren't that "hard" but if you're given a certain amount of time to answer them all (and answer them correctly), you have to know to move...
