  1. ADN or BSN?

    FitMommyRN replied to ginaw623's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure I've heard of an ADN program that takes one year or less. The program I'm in is four semesters back-to-back. Usually nursing programs are around 4-5 semesters of nursing coursework not...

  2. I failed.

    FitMommyRN replied to hello sammi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been there love. My first lab exam in A&P I was SO ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS that I actually laughed out loud when I saw my grade. Well down into the 40s, like a 41% if I remember correctly. I...

  3. Georgia Perimer Nursing

    FitMommyRN replied to Stewart22's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The nursing courses are completely different. It really is a completely different question format from what you're used to. A&P and micro are, for the most part, knowledge regurgitation type...

  4. Georgia Perimeter's Nursing Progran

    FitMommyRN replied to Stewart22's topic in Georgia Nursing

    We have lecture on Tuesday and Wednesday. For the first couple of weeks the lectures run from about 9am to 2pm, maybe less some days. They try to front load the information before we get into...

  5. Georgia Perimeter's Nursing Progran

    FitMommyRN replied to Stewart22's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi there. I'm in my first semester of nursing courses at GPC and I pretty much love it. I was also pretty apprehensive about their past issues and got myself worked up into a frenzy prior to...

  6. Getting into nursing school. Need help!

    FitMommyRN replied to 2bmalenurse2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm currently in an ADN program and there is NO WAY anybody could consider this easy, or better for 'less intelligent' students. As someone who nailed all of her pre-reqs and has a previous Master's...

  7. LPN. or RN

    FitMommyRN replied to gapeacheykeen's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not sure if you're getting correct information. I just did a simple, quick search for ADN programs in Arkansas and none of them required an LPN prior to beginning your ADN. You CAN do bridge...

  8. rn to bsn programs a scam...

    FitMommyRN replied to nd deb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You have to think of it in terms of a Bachelor's vs an Associate's in ANY field, not just nursing. A Bachelor's degree requires more core course work than an Associate's; both in general education...

  9. GPC Spring 2012

    FitMommyRN replied to sreed73's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hey I'm guessing they'll just keep a hold on your registration until they get your form. I think I read about another girl in a different class that had the same issue. Also, I have a previous...

  10. GPC Spring 2012

    FitMommyRN replied to sreed73's topic in Georgia Nursing

    slo that's how I understood the directions in our packet. Then the hold will be lifted for registration. Can't wait for

  11. Do you think there would be less RN students if the economy was better?

    FitMommyRN replied to kalevra's topic in General Nursing

    I'm also in the minority of people who are going for a career change and it isn't due to the economy. I was teaching college full-time, and had a full performance calendar (My bachelor's and master's...

  12. GPC Spring 2012

    FitMommyRN replied to sreed73's topic in Georgia Nursing

    No problemo! Yeah I'm good with virtually any clinical schedule but sat/sun 7-3. Im on staff as a singer at my church and I was counting on keeping that paycheck. Just hoping if I get that schedule I...

  13. GPC Spring 2012

    FitMommyRN replied to sreed73's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I wasn't sure about the school/background check thing. I don't think it necessarily said that they'd be only sent to the school. As long as we have copies I think we're good. About the titers make...

    FitMommyRN replied to sreed73's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Whoa I wish the traditional track schedule was like

  15. GPC Spring 2012

    FitMommyRN replied to sreed73's topic in Georgia Nursing

    My friend said our lecture is tues and wed 9-12 and our clinicals could be thurs/fri, fri/sat, or sat/sun either 7-3 or 3-11. I'm not sure where she found the info but she's usually right lol. As far...

  16. GPC Spring 2012

    FitMommyRN replied to sreed73's topic in Georgia Nursing

    CVS minute clinics will do a physical for around $60 I think. I already spoke with the NP at the one I use and she said they can do it. The titers can be done at the Marietta health department. I...

  17. GPC Spring 2012

    FitMommyRN replied to sreed73's topic in Georgia Nursing

    It may be similar. I know at the boot camp they go over a LOT more stuff and Truro prepare you for studying and living as a nursing student. Did you get the brochure in the mail thy details...

    FitMommyRN replied to sreed73's topic in Georgia Nursing

    My friend and I both signed up immediately. So

  19. GPC Spring 2012

    FitMommyRN replied to sreed73's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi Engine. I took my pre-reqs at Georgia State, and got accepted into Emory and GPC. We decided to go with GPC because it's financially more attainable. I don't think it matters much where you do your...

  20. GPC Spring 2012

    FitMommyRN replied to sreed73's topic in Georgia Nursing

    We can DO this. We'll hold each other up and keep each other going. I'm coming to terms with having absolutely no life for the next four semesters. At least I got to watch my little girl grow to three...

  21. GPC Spring 2012

    FitMommyRN replied to sreed73's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks Caleb's mom. We live in Alpharetta and our health department doesn't do titers. I called Marietta and they'll do the chicken pox titer for $15. Crazy. We are a pay out of pocket family since I...

  22. GPC Spring 2012

    FitMommyRN replied to sreed73's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hey folks! Those of you who are without health insurance, were you able to get all of your shots and titers at the health department? We pay out of pocket for trips to the doctor but the laundry...

  23. Compare online RN-BSN programs in GA

    FitMommyRN replied to peanut2011's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Brenau, Georgia Southern, North Georgia College and State University. Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure they all have full online rn-bsn programs. That was just from a quick search I did the other...

    FitMommyRN replied to sreed73's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Does anybody have a link for the AHA CPR class schedule? The only link I can find says there's no classes
