  1. Take teas now, just to get the stuff I know out of the way?

    mangopeach replied to GirlDotson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would find out the rules of the schools you intend to apply to before doing this. Some only allow you to take it once per year, or once per semester or you might only be limited to taking it 2 times...

  2. Do you have your clinicals in the hospital?

    mangopeach replied to SummitRN's topic in General Students

    Hospitals. Towards the end we do some community health fairs but still all clinicals are in the

  3. Where do I go from here? Need advice

    mangopeach replied to Neir's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why not redo your sciences so that you can apply to those programs that require them to be less than 5 years? If they are expired at those schools, they will allow you to retake them. My A&P was...

    Drew up NPH and Regular Insulin correctly at Clinicals and administered my first sub q shot on a real patient! Yeah baby!, my hands were shaking but after doing so many on the inject a pad, it was...

  5. What procedures do you learn?

    mangopeach replied to Stacey92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally disagree!!! and sorry but I find that answer totally ridiculous. How would one know what nurses do on a daily basis if they haven't been exposed to it, or researched and ask questions - as...

  6. Anyone made it through Nsg school WITHOUT caffeine , Adderall, or Red Bull??

    mangopeach replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in General Students

    I can't get through my day without my coffee. With or without nursing school. I love the stuff and don't plan on quitting. By the way coffee has no real effect on giving me sustained energy. I drink...

  7. Who else has expired pre-reqs and is torn or over it?

    mangopeach replied to J*Mart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh OK. Well then as much as it sucks, to have to do them over, I'd keep my pre-reqs current and continue to apply to schools in state without waiting lists. Do you know what they are looking for? What...

  8. Who else has expired pre-reqs and is torn or over it?

    mangopeach replied to J*Mart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Question? Do you just want a career in the health care field or is your passion for nursing? Asking because you mentioned that the dental hygiene field has been hit hard. But you could say the same...

  9. Hmmmmm Why Do Nursing Students Fail?

    mangopeach replied to yel550i's topic in General Students

    I'm in my first semester of nursing school. I'm sure it will get harder, but most people in my class do well on the written exams. Its the skills checkoffs that became a problem for the people that...

  12. Pre-Nursing @ GPC

    mangopeach replied to mommy2babies's topic in Georgia Nursing

    $78.50 - But if you've lived in New York, its an additional $65 If you've lived or worked out of the country it can be hundreds more. One girl in class that lived in India paid almost $500 You should...

    mangopeach replied to mommy2babies's topic in Georgia Nursing

    mangopeach replied to mommy2babies's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Congrats Mommy2babies!! The uniform must come from Meridys. That is the top and pants. But you can get your uniform in the bookstore on the Clarkston Campus. Sometimes they don't have certain sizes...

  17. GPC acceptance letter please!!!!

    mangopeach replied to adorable42181's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm so sorry you didn't get in. I think the difference might be number of applicants. Since Emory is a lot more expensive, it tends to be less competitive. - In that they are far less applicants than...

  18. NGC&SU vs. GPC

    mangopeach replied to heoconbubu's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm in my first semester at GPC and I love it! Nursing school is a lot of work. I think you will get out of it what you put into it. Having said that, I have felt very supported since I've been here....

    mangopeach replied to adorable42181's topic in Georgia Nursing

  22. I'm a little confused

    mangopeach replied to futurestudent11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thats a very interesting program. This is my first time seeing anything like that. I just worry though that it will be too much at once. Nursing school is a lot of work, I know you probably hear...

  23. I'm a little confused

    mangopeach replied to futurestudent11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are these science classes with labs? Geez, man I would hate to have to do that alongside nursing lectures,labs,clinicals and getting ready for the chopping block, I mean checkoffs.

  24. I'm a little confused

    mangopeach replied to futurestudent11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in an ADN program and I've never heard of an ADN program that did not have pre-reqs. Not saying they dont exist, but I think that this is probably an exception to the norm. In both states that...

  25. What I should do?

    mangopeach replied to aloneinLa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
