Anyone applied to the nursing program for this fall?

Well it most definitely will be an issue.

After you get an acceptance letter in May, you have to have you physical paperwork turned in by the end of June I think. I think you have to be able to lift fifty pounds and be cleared to be on your feet for extended periods of time. If a person wa...

No, that's not true. There are a couple of people that have been let go from the program but not for being immature or not understanding the commitment. There were different reasons. A few people didn't make it to this semester though because of p...

You will definitely get in. Don't sweat it. These people that are missing class and being rude WILL NOT last. You are not allowed to miss class. If you do, it has to be a good reason, and then you have to document the reason and right a letter re...

I am going to graduate with my bachelors in nursing in May 2012. I will be 28, and my husband is will be in school until like 2014. I would like to have a baby shortly after my husband graduates, but I was wondering how long it will take to get com...

I'm a student, and I was just curious.

So, if for example there is a 2 dollar shift differential for working nights and a 3 dollar shift differential for working weekends, what if you work a weekend night? Does that mean you get 5 dollars total or do hospitals take the higher shift diffe...

I was just wondering what New Grads with an RN BSN will get offered as pay in Columbus, GA. I've been noticing that salary varies widely all over the U.S. and figured I would ask this in the Georgia section. I've also noticed that RNs are complainin...

Anybody have any updates as to the starting salaries for hospitals around the Columbus Area?

Thanks. I was just wondering, because that can rack up the pay quite a bit!

Prettyladie, How is school and your child and the sorority going? I was just bumming around this thread, and I thought it was pretty interesting. Especially everyone jumping to conclusions about you being a selfish mother. GEEZ! I wish people woul...

It's 4 days a week.

It's going good. Having a good Christmas break and ready for next semester. I really feel like I've learned a lot in just the first semester!

All my instructors use powerpoints. I really enjoy some of them. The teachers that just have bullets, and then explain the bullets, are better. That is the proper way to use a powerpoint....you can't just write everything down. It's way too borin...

I just started Columbus State's nursing program, and I love it! It's a lot of work, but it's all nursing classes instead of taking other prereqs and nursing classes at the same time. I don't think I could do that. The teacher's are really helpful ...

I heard this second hand from my someone that told me his fiance just graduated from CSU with a BSN and got a job in the ED making 26 an hour. I didn't ask details like if that was with shift differential or not. Have you heard anything?

I can't believe no one has mentioned commas! I still remember it was number 12 in the Harbrace grammar book. :)

I was looking at stethoscopes today, and I noticed a brass and black one. Anybody have one of these? I think this would be easier to recognize than just different colored tubing and engravings, so maybe it won't "walk off". What do you think? It's ...

me too!!

I was leaving an appointment today and saw a USA Today article on the front page. It was about the difficulty for new grad RNs to get in finding a job. It's about time someone started talking about that instead of NURSING SHORTAGE, NURSING SHORTAGE!...

Yeah, some of them do sound totally ridiculous. They must have just read the first couple of sentences and then posted, because the article clearly states that new grads (in some areas!) are finding it harder to find a job than it used to be. It al...

I just read all of the comments online and a lot of people are screaming BS at this article and not believing that New Grads can't find a job. WHat is wrong with people?

Yeah that's what I thought, and I was surprised it was on the front page too. I put my four quarters in and got the last paper, so it has been read by a few at least!

I went to go get my CPR certification and the RN instructor with 20 years experience holding an MSN said "sternoclastoid"..........I was like wow, just skipped over the middle part of the word. LOL
