  1. Navy or Army nursing

    izzycatswimRN replied to xxhoops7609's topic in Government, Military

  2. Navy Nurse Candidate Program

    izzycatswimRN replied to rockytopRN2b's topic in Government, Military

    Just a quick remark on the full status on NCP. I am currently in the NCP and asked my recruiter where I'm located about it. The word is they are looking at NO ONE right now until they start their new...

  3. Which do your prefer, Class or Clinicals?

    izzycatswimRN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    I prefer clinical way over class. It's not that I dont enjoy the material, it's the fact that I'm not the best test taker. I learn way better by seeing/doing things. Books are not 100% my

    izzycatswimRN replied to kraam's topic in General Students

  8. Questions about Macon

    izzycatswimRN replied to xoemmylouox's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Ok. I have a few things to say in defense of the place I have grown up in. 1. The crime is really no worse than anything I've experienced in Atlanta (where i currently live and attend nursing school...

    izzycatswimRN replied to behopeful's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Well I don't have any advice on what to expect after the first semester since I'm about to start my 2nd! I didn't spend my time in the library studying but that's simply because I find the library...

  11. Know any pregnant women in Georgia State's ACE accelerated program?

    izzycatswimRN replied to ATLbubbles's topic in Georgia Nursing

  12. GSU Spring 2010

    izzycatswimRN replied to Mixolydian's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I did Eastman for 2010 and it was easy. Just read the book. I also had Rodney Lyn for HHS 3000 and personally found it to be a waste of two hours every week but that's just me. As for micro I would...

  16. What's the best nursing program out of these schools?

    izzycatswimRN replied to kraam's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Not to be biased (I'm currently at Ga State in the ACE program) but Ga State is one of the best in the state. I know we have one of the highest first attempt pass rates for the NCLEX.....I don't know...

    izzycatswimRN replied to behopeful's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hey guys, I can offer you insight from the other side. I just finished my first semester of the ACE program at Ga State. First off, let me emphasize how much they are NOT exaggerating about the...

    izzycatswimRN replied to prinsessa's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm just finishing my first semester of an accelerated program and finding a job is something I've already thought about. Luckily I won't be having to worry about it any longer. I decided to join...

  19. Nursing School Vent-Inconsiderate Classmates and Flighty instructor

    izzycatswimRN replied to Teacher2RN's topic in General Students

    I don't blame you at all for being irritated. I know how much I love to mindlessly click those clicky pens so I try to stick to pens with caps. That way if i play with them they hardly make any...

  23. Can't decide on Emory

    izzycatswimRN replied to megan-student's topic in General Students

    I am in my first semester at Ga State in their ACE program and I love it! I agree...apply anywhere and everywhere. I didn't end up doing that because Ga State was pretty much my only choice because of...

  24. Help! I think I won't pass!

    izzycatswimRN replied to lalastudent's topic in General Students

    I'm shocked you have to have such a high test average to be considered passing. At my nursing school we have to have a 74 test average. I'm pretty sure all of the nursing schools in my state have...

  25. Nursing school and social life?

    izzycatswimRN replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    I'm lucky I have never been a huge "go out and party" type girl. Thus not really having much free time to spend out with people hasn't really bothered me. I spend most of my free time with my...
