Hey Eaglegirl!! Are ya bored yet!! I saw your post and had to reply!!! Its so great to say we're grads!!!! We made it!! When I first began my journey, I was faced with a decision between two schools. I am so thankful that I went with my heart's deci...

Hi! I just wanted to say that both Athens Tech and NGCSU are great programs. I'm currently in the NGCSU program and LOVE it! I think you will be happy with either one. I've had a few friends go to athens tech and the program sounds similar. So i...

Hi! It is a uniform advantage store at southlake and uniform world in decatur in suburban plaza. Good luck! They are also having a sale on shoes this month.

Hi! I'm not sure if this helps but I know there is one at southlake mall and one in Decatur on Church street. If you are at GA state that might be a close good choice. Good luck!

Whatever you do don't give up! Try taking additional classes towards your BSN while you are waiting. You might even find it quicker to apply for a BSN program. I hope you get answers soon. Good luck!

Try amazon. I've got a friend who sold some of her books on there. You should also ask some of the 1st year students at your school. I bought some of my books for second year that way. Good luck!

Just wanted to say that I'm sure Jake won't have a problem! We have several in our class and they are doing great! So tell him to hang in there in the long run it will be worth all the stresss!! PS I know several who went to Gordon and enjoyed it...

I agree that some stress is important. Just know that all schools are not set up to make you fail. It is important to be able to handle the stress level without losing it in class and at clinicals. If you are trying to decide on a program ask arou...

Ditto!! Once you go through that situation, you'll believe you can do anything!!!:chuckle :chuckle

No it is not silly. They have this room spray you can use if the smell is just too much! Just take a deep breath and tell yourself you can handle what comes your way! Show no fear, before you know it you'll become an old hat at it. Just remember ...

If you can hear when using it, then I would go ahead and use it for now. It really is ok not to spend $100 on a new one. They often sprout legs and walk off at clinicals. I would use the one you were given unless you feel like you want another one...

Hi! I'm sure this has all been said before but this is what has aided me through the first year! I have learned organization is the key to sanity! I found that once I started nursing school I was losing my memory for the simple things such as b...

I have taken both of these classes. I also know students who have completed them online. Basically I've heard they are possible with dedication and being focused on your work. I'm not sure if you are overloading yourself, but I took the classes s...

I just want to wish you best of luck. Please contact your board and school for more info. It is always better getting the information straight from the source who knows. Good luck to you.

I know this happens a lot when other students talk about difficulty level. Before you know it you're stressed out! Pharm isn't bad at all brush up on basic math skills, ratios, decimal points etc. I've really enjoyed the Incredibly Easy book for ...

I've heard III is the best. Mine has a short length and I think I would like the longer one better. Just make sure you get it engraved because, unfortunately they sometimes sprout legs and walk. Good luck!!

The key to a great study group, IMHO is the dedication of the students. Everyone has to stay focused on the goals of the group and limit chatting to breaks! That is the hard part but it can be done. Look for dedicated, focused fellow students. It...

That always stinks! Lord knows its happened many times.

The board of nursing for my state clearly says that the board has the right and power to refuse anyone with a felony charge based on when, what and the nature of the crime. If you look up your board it may have a link to legal questions for more i...

I just want to say that I was going by what we were told in my program. I know that our program has to validate etc information before you can apply to sit for the boards. I had no intention to DISCOURAGE anyone! I was not referring to any shoplif...

Reading, reading and more reading. A little med-surge, psych and patho, bet ya thought it would be a good romance novel!! Plus I've been enjoying all my free time!!

If it is a major text, I want new. The highlighting in used can be confusing, I would rather have my own highligted areas to know what is important. If it is a supplemental book then used is fine.

I always keep in mind what is the patient going to need to just live and so on. Good luck!

I like saunders and nasna rn review book. Check out ebay too, I got a new saunders for dirt cheap! Good luck.

Unfortunately, even if you get in and complete the program. Any criminal past information will prevent you from going to boards. It would be best to be honest and get it cleared up. I'm not sure for other schools but the one I attend checks and v...
