    izzycatswimRN replied to RPN_2012's topic in General Students

    I def. agree with the whole you need a life thing. I would have cracked loooooong ago if I didn't keep up a small social life. I do school work sunday-thursday while not in class. I may do a little...

  3. Questions for ACE track accepted students

    izzycatswimRN replied to hcs4291's topic in Georgia Nursing

  4. GSU FALL 2010

    izzycatswimRN replied to bellefemme's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm not sure how you could NOT manage to have a 3 day weekend if one has Thursday lab/clinical. You don't have classes on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. That equates to being a three day weekend I...

  5. GSU FALL 2010

    izzycatswimRN replied to bellefemme's topic in Georgia Nursing

    To be honest, 2040 is stupid. The prof knows we all think so and thus makes it kind of hard in that you actually DO have to study for it. There was one paper we had to write on a nursing theorist. The...

  6. GSU FALL 2010

    izzycatswimRN replied to bellefemme's topic in Georgia Nursing

    izzycatswimRN replied to Little Miss Blue's topic in General Students

  8. How often you see your boyfriend while in nursing school

    izzycatswimRN replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    I see my boyfriend Friday/Saturday nights virtually every weekend. I make sure to take the time to see him then. He is out of college and travels literally almost every week to various locations...

  9. GSU FALL 2010

    izzycatswimRN replied to bellefemme's topic in Georgia Nursing

    As I've said, I'm an ACE'er about to start my A4 semester. I have classmates in my program who work. I know they find it difficult...I think they tend to mostly work on weekends if they don't have...

  10. Have you bought any nursing textbooks online?

    izzycatswimRN replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

    This is what I do as well as search Amazon/Half.com/Barnes and Nobles. Always cheaper...used books tend to be in slightly better used condition as well. Personally I don't care about book disks...

  11. Going to MEPS

    izzycatswimRN replied to snp81's topic in Government, Military

    I went to MEPS in Atlanta (where I currently live) lets just say be prepared to get yelled at. I got so much crap when I tried to leave ( i drove myself there) because they didn't realize i was there...

    izzycatswimRN replied to Courtcatt's topic in General Students

    I'm in a 15 month long BSN accelerated program. Our first day....well it was rather crazy. I had I think 3..maybe 4..of my nursing classes in one day. We spent maybe 30 minutes going over the...

  13. I just ordered a Zuca bag for school

    izzycatswimRN replied to JackieBRCC's topic in General Students

    I can see it being nice if you carry everything but the kitchen sink to class...esp for those who carpool like someone mentioned. Personally, I bought a backpack from Northface when I started college...

    izzycatswimRN replied to bellefemme's topic in Georgia Nursing

  16. Any tips for Pediatrics/OB rotation?

    izzycatswimRN replied to sch983's topic in General Students

    I'm about two days away from finishing my peds. My advice: don't ignore the child. Make sure you speak directly to the kid too. You'd be amazed by how much a sick kid can blossom when you talk to...

  18. GSU FALL 2010

    izzycatswimRN replied to bellefemme's topic in Georgia Nursing

    For your fees, take the check or M.O. for your malpractice insurance only to the office in Urban Life. I think it's room 900? We are no longer using ERI at Ga State. We just started as of this summer...

  19. Navy Nurse Corps - Questions

    izzycatswimRN replied to myeire's topic in Government, Military

    Fine. Since you are making such an issue. I will clarify it even more. BSN is the MINIMUM degree. No need to be so snarky about it. Logically one would assume that any degree higher than a BSN would...

  20. Navy Nurse Corps - Questions

    izzycatswimRN replied to myeire's topic in Government, Military

    My comment was meant to be understood as the BSN is the minimum degree. An MSN is fine. Any type of nursing degree apart from those are what are not

  21. Navy Nurse Corps - Questions

    izzycatswimRN replied to myeire's topic in Government, Military

    I just scanned this thread. I am currently in the Navy Nurse Candidate Program. Once I graduate/pass NCLEX I will be in the nursing corps. So here it is, hopefully everyone with the question about...

    izzycatswimRN replied to bellefemme's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Ngl, I HATED pharm. Pages and pages of notes with these quizzes every day over the material you are going to cover in class. These quizzes actually ended up being really important for a ton of my...

  23. GSU FALL 2010

    izzycatswimRN replied to bellefemme's topic in Georgia Nursing

    To be honest there was NO time to go on a worthwhile vacation in my opinion. We had one week off. Used to they got two weeks off and a break between the two summer classes. That is apparently no...

  24. GSU FALL 2010

    izzycatswimRN replied to bellefemme's topic in Georgia Nursing
