I am so tired of the same story over and over again! I am currently waiting to hear if I got accepted to nursing school for Spring 2012. However, a year ago, I got my CNA certification, EKG, PCT, and Phlebotomy certification, hoping that I would be...

Hello Everybody, I received a letter from Kennesaw on Aug. 9th.....and......I've been selected for an interview for the spring 2012 accelerated program. I guess my fourth try was a charm. I really was not expecting this because I've applied three ti...

Oh gosh! QTqueen, I hope they don't get mad at you for using a full name and email. They watch the threads and apparently posting someone's name is not allowed, nor is posting any identifiable information like initials. Do you know if you are able to...

Hey bjc3, not sure, because they are not supposed to look at other stuff besides the 5 areas (3 GPA's, TEAS, and interview). Your GPA is pretty low. I never heard of anyone getting in with a GPA lower than 3.0. I am not sure if they will calculate...

Thanks QT!!!!!!

Thanks QTQueen, can you give me a little more infomaiton about how the class is structured? I was under the impression that there was one major research assignment that need to be done the whole semester (I don't remember where I heard that from). ...

@Fanger33, I heard that research is going to take up a lot of time regardless because it is ongoing. This class....I heard makes that first semester of the accelerated program hell :). I just wanted to know specifically if information is given in the...

@Proms...that's the same thing I said. I hate 8am classes, my brain doesn't kick in until around 10...lol! But, I would rather have class early and have time to study during the day, otherwise, if I take my first class in the late morning/afternoon...

Hey everyone, it's been a while. Just wanted to let you know that the schedule is out for Spring 2012 (Owl Express). From what it seems, if I can get in the sections I want, I'll only be in class M-W, that leaves Th & F to study ALL day, and fo...

@January03, are you able to get a masters in nursing without a BSN?

Thanks QTQueen. Also, I wanted to know if there is any difference between taking NURS 4402 (Research) online vs. on campus. Is taking it on campus more beneficial? I have done research papers before for my first degree and am very familiar with AP...

Thanks LunahRN! We can use initials though right?

@Proms, I heard that Saunders is a very good book. However, it depends on your ability to grasp info and how you learn. I actually looked at Saunders, and I liked it because it was divided into each section/type or nursing ie: med/surg, pediatrics,...

Thank you Forhisglory, I actually made note of that thread a while ago.

Hey everyone, if you have your CPR certification it will be okay as long as YOU DO NOT LET IT EXPIRE DURING THE SEMESTER!!!! I have friends in the program who got their certification because of work and they have been fine. You just have to stay on...

Hopefully it works out for you Islandrae!

Makes no sense to renew it now you have almost a year of certification left. Just make sure it is from the American Heart Association and make sure it doesn't expire. I've heard that they've pulled students out of clinicals because they forgot to ...

Yeah...I heard that "they" are cracking down on those wonderful patho notes that students distributed amongst themselves....LOL! I'm not sure if they are allowing us to get them anymore, but I know for sure that if we do get them, we don't need the ...

Thank you for your response. We actually have a couple Spring 2012 threads going. LOL!! I got in for the accelerated program also. How much time do you dedicate per day to studying. Do you work at all? I have pretty much been preparing myself men...

@ Fanger- I got mine from amazon.com. I got the 4th edition brand new with the CD, it was still shrink wrapped. The information is the same as the 5th edition. The 5th edition has updated general info like (how meds are tracked, systems used, etc....

The book is EXCELLENT!!!!!! It has a ton of problems and it also comes with a CD that has problems also. It has a review section that covers converting between different masses, volumes, etc. and it covers the basics of rounding, adding decimals, m...

@skyebrook- crossing my fingers...good luck! @mom2ees- yes summer is eight weeks...lol! i'm dreading that also!!!! @proms2009- i saw on another thread that you had questions about immunizations and books. here is a link for the clinical requiremen...

I would rather wait until they set up the FB page, especially with the new FB update (where everyone is all in your business...LOL). I think we should continue to post on here at least until orientation. However, if you do create a FB page, can you...

Wow....a friend of mine just texted me that she is on the waitlist. That sucks!!!!

@Fanger....unfortunately you can't technically take someone's spot in the accelerated program because both programs have a waitlist, so they would get first dibs. However, I have heard that if you were in the accelerated program and something came u...
