My school offers geriatrics, psych, l&d, medsurg, icu, er, and public health. We have no peds rotation. I wish my school had an oncology rotation because that's a major interest of mine *sigh*. Just curious to see what other schools offer so what...

A thread for the Columbus State University fall 2016 applicants for the online family nurse practitioner program.

I am currently a senior nursing student at a school in south GA. I plan on moving to Tallahassee, FL after I graduate this fall with my BSN. My question is what is the (hourly) pay at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital and Capital Regional Memorial Center...

Don't you get tired of friends/relatives asking you "Why didn't you go to med school?" Contrary to popular belief, not everyone wants to be a doctor. I love what I do and I do what I love. Isn't that good enough?

I'm in my senior year of nursing school and the time has come for me to put in a request for my senior practicum. The only problem is I have only done rotations in medsurg, psych, and geriatrics but didn't really like any of those. I did a summer int...

Anyone know anything about Coliseum Medical Center in Macon, GA? I am RN who is considering working on one of the medsurg units. I heard they have been going through a lot of changes due to new management and I would like to know whether or not it's ...

Just wanted to touch basis with my fellow June NCLEX test takers. I know we're all nervous and studying to the point of exhaustion but we can do this!!! Whether this is your first attempt or your third attempt, we're going to pass! I take mine June 1...

Hello all!!! I take my NCLEX Monday June 13th at 8a. I did a 4-day mandatory review course at my school. Aside from that I've did LaCharity questions, Kaplan strategy book, Saunders 4th edition (light skimming but did all questions), Exam Cram, and N...

I've been offered a new grad position in NICU/Peds. Does anyone have any info on starting out in either of these specialties? I decided to forgo starting in medsurg because I prefer to work where I am passionate and if I'm wrong, medsurg will always ...

I did the PVT two hours after finishing my test. The next day I was on my state's board of nursing. Passed in 75 Q's.

Hello all. I got out of my test a few hours ago and it shut off at 75 Qs. I had lots of priority, infection control, SATA, and patient teaching. I got the good pop-up also. All in all, it's not that bad.

I did just the Kaplan book & cd that came with it. Saunders helped refreshen my mind as far as content went. Another thing Saunders did was give me lots of practice with SATAs. Saunders also has a cd that comes with it where you can select a "tak...

I used LaCharity, Hurst Review DVDs, the infection control mnemonic I got from this site, Saunders 4e, and a Kaplan Strategy book. I just took it day by day. Study big NCLEX areas such as prioritizing pt care, infection control, etc first and often. ...

I kept tally of my SATAs and out of 75 q's I had 15.

From what I've heard, they like to "review" test results for anyone who finishes the test kind of quickly. I'm sure you did fine. My friend did 85 questions in 40 minutes and they held his for four days but he passed so no worries :) Congrats in adva...

I've been offered a new grad position in NICU/Peds. Does anyone have any info on starting out in either of these specialties? I decided to forgo starting in medsurg because I prefer to work where I am passionate and if I'm wrong, medsurg will alwa...

I used a Kaplan Practice & Strategy book, Saunders 4e, LaCharity, Exam Cram, Hurst Review dvds, and these books that came with the mandatory NCLEX course my school held. I take my test tomorrow so I will let you know what worked and what was most...

Wow I'm so glad everyone is having such success!! I knew you all could do it!!! Congrats!!! I take mine in 8 days and I'm studying and praying hard.

Congrats!! I take mine June 13th and I live in GA as well. I'm glad to hear the license tend to post quickly here.

Congrats!! I take mine June 13th.

MedSurg Ortho or MedSurg Oncology? I got both positions as job offers. Not sure which to choose or what the differences between the two are. Since both are generally medsurg floors, would it really matter whether I did MedSurg Ortho or MedSurg Oncolo...

South GA pay is around $19-21 Mid GA pay is around $20-21 North GA/Atlanta/ATL Metro is around $22-$24 **Of course pay coincides with the cost of living for the particular area. In general, South GA is relatively cheap and therefore you get more bang...

Hey, don't mean to butt in but Kelly how are the medsurg floors on Coliseum? I was offered a position at the downtown location and I am really interested in learning more about the facility before I make a decision. How is the staff morale, turnover ...

Let me first start off by saying that I love this site! So much information. You guys are simply awesome :). I can assure you that I have spent the last few days digging through old threads and reading up as much additional info as I can. I have (br...

I am entering my senior year of nursing school this fall and reading some of these posts definitely makes me sad. I was planning on moving to Jacksonville, FL right after I graduated but the nursing market there doesn't seem too bright. However, I do...
