Hey all, I've tried browsing allnurses before posting this but I cant seem to find answers. I graduate with my BSN in May and I was curious about when I need to start looking for jobs. I hear February but is January too early?? Any advice (or previou...

Hey Everyone, I'm currently living in Georgia and I'm about to graduate with my BSN in May. I'm looking into University of Colorado Hospital and it's my top choice for an RN Residency program. I know it's highly competitive but I was hoping that anyo...

MCG is on a hiring freeze from what I hear. Other hospitals in the area include University Hospital and Doctors Hospital. There's also the VA and Trinity. Good luck to you both!

Wow! Thank you all for the great responses! I'm just one of those people that like to have a plan! lol But God's gotta plan too so I guess I'll do my best in preparing and roll with it.

WOOOHOOO! Congrats everyone!

Hey there, I'm curious if anyone has done the Grady externship offered in December. I'm pretty sure they send out a flyer in October for nursing students to go to an open house. I'd really like to more if anyone has any insight! Thanks!

Were yall hired on as PCTs? (Ps- thanks for all the great info!)

Thank you two! Sunny, Did they have a link for the summer externship?? I stalked the website all spring waiting for something to pop up and never saw anything.

Google! It's been the BEST site and I've been hooked for years. I recommend this site for all my friends

We actually didnt apply for early admission. I applied and found out in Feb that I was accepted. Im not sure when my roommate applied but she said it was for the normal admission too.

Tizita, I just talked to my roommate and this is what she summarized her application to me: 3.6 GPA, she said her math/sci GPA was higher than that, 1250 SATs, she did job shadows and worked with a midwife in her office part time, and she also had so...

Tizita, I just talked to my roommate who just started the program this summer and she said her essay was 1200 words! Mine was only a paragraph. I guess it really really varies! So I'm sure your length will be fine. :) The only reason I could think o...

Hmmm, Well I cant shed too much light on the actual program because Im not in it lol. I havent read up on allnurses CNL forums but I'm sure they will have the best advice or insight to the CNL pathway. I do know that you get your RN which is what ho...

Kara, For most of nursing school at MCG Augusta, you will have class Monday and Friday. Times for class will very but I'd average it from 8-2pm of class. Tues, Wed, and Thurs will be clinical days. They vary alot depending on what clinical rotation y...

Hey kara! I made mostly As in my math and sciences so I tried to up play that in my application/resume (since my SATs werent that great). My friend goes to Brenau and loves it. But I agree with you, tuition is an issue.

Karamarie, Northeast GA does shadowing that doesnt have crazy requirements. (at least it didnt 2 yrs ago when I did mine). Maybe something to look into! :)

Lizyun, have you heard of the CNL program? It's for people who have their degree in another subject. The program is a yr and a half and you graduate with your masters in science and can take the NCLEX. I dont know the specifics of the program but I t...

Hey! Well, I'm not sure about ACT scoring. All I know is my SATs were very normal and nothing impressive. So Im guessing they look at all aspects of your application and decide. My SATs were average but I had a good GPA and experience. So, your GPA, ...

Hey Everyone! I'm currently a senior at MCG - Augusta. If you guys have any questions, I hope I can answer them. I LOVE MCG! It's the best decision I made in my college career. As far as application process goes, they do like high GPAs and any exper...

PS- altogether, how much did you pay? I know its about 250 a week + 150application fee. But is there any other fees we will need to consider? (plane, food, buses, tuition for schooling?)

Thanks for the super fast reply! How was your host family? Was it only 1 student to 1 host family, or did more than 1 student stay with a family?

Hey All! I'm late on this post but I was hoping to travel and do some medical spanish. Pop-Wuj was one of the first sites I looked into. I'm living in Georgia, so I'm curious about flights. Were there students from across the country? Was setting up ...

Hey Everyone, I was curious about those who have gone on a Spanish Immersion trip, medical Spanish trips or basically anything where you learn medical Spanish abroad. I have looked up a couple sites that are very interesting and I'm definitely wantin...

Did any of you end up going on the trip? If so, write about your experience! I'd love to read about it! Did it help with medical spanish or just conversational spanish? thanks!

So funny! Well, working in the ER this is a conversation I overheard with a patient and another nurse: Pt: My throats sore.. RN: I know, we're gonna get a swab of your throat to see if we can help you out and get you better Pt: Dont I get an xray? RN...
