  1. Senior Student - staying motivated till the end.

    troop949 replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    Another OWL checking in! I'm in a similar situation, but what's keeping me motivated is FINISHING what I started! I'm excited to finally be done with school (LOL), but also excited about the "next...

  2. Resume HELP - how to use old career experience

    troop949 replied to LagniappeRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Like you, I spent several years in a previous career. I did add those previous work experiences to my resume, but tried to focus on my organizational skills, leadership, and attention to detail in...

  3. Job now vs. waiting on New Grad program

    troop949 replied to squidgel's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My "advice" may not be very useful, as I'm still a student, but I think the peds home health position sounds like a great opportunity. I agree with the PP about the restrictions of the residency...

  4. Best MPH concentration for Nursing

    troop949 replied to helwafufu's topic in Public, Community Health

    I agree with klone, I think any concentration would be applicable. I have an MPH with an epidemiology concentration (infectious disease), and although I'm finishing up nursing school, I can already...

    troop949 replied to N_madison's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    troop949 replied to troop949's topic in Public, Community Health

    Hi sourapril! I just messaged you back, BTW. I'm now entering my final semester of my accelerated BSN program. Just starting out job hunting. I would love to have something lined up before...

  7. Can a new BSN grad w/research experience get a research nurse job?

    troop949 replied to troop949's topic in Research

    Thanks for your input. I'm just trying to get an idea as to whether hospital experience will be an absolute necessity. I do have some contacts in clinical research at a big research university in...

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Whew, been to busy to post since last week, but thanks to everyone for your well-wishes. I've been working on my intake materials and secured a private loan (ugh!) for tuition. Still need to scrape...

  12. Georgia State University Pre-Nursing Students

    troop949 replied to hcs4291's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I know this was directed at hcs4291, but I took the TEAS this past February. It wasn't bad at all! I think if you've taken algebra, biology/anatomy, and chemistry, you should do well on the test....

  13. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hey breezy! I don't know what all is in that packet, but it sounds like a job to get through it. So much for those of us who thought getting accepted was the "easy" part,

  14. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Don't be too nervous about the essay. It's not worth all that many points. I think the key to the essay is to make sure it is grammatically correct, and to state your position clearly. I don't...

  15. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Mine was a little of both, ummnasim. I wrote about how the healthcare system is increasing its focus on disease prevention, and how nursing is an important part of that. Disease prevention/health...

    Thanks breezy! We'll see what

  17. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I would think they would take the highest grade, but you'd have to confirm that the GPC course as an equivalent. I'd check with the GSU School of Nursing to be 100% sure,

  18. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    If anyone out there is still checking this thread..... I met with an advisor at the nursing school yesterday to discuss the specifics of why I was on the waiting list. After all the application...

  19. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    troop949 replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took my A&P I exam on Monday, and I did well. Our final lab grades were also posted, and I will be getting an A in lab. Depending on how extra credit points go, I might get an A+ out of...

  20. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    They didn't list any classes that I need to re-take. However, I think the fact that I have several pre-reqs "in progress" hurt...I couldn't get the points for those on my application. BTW, I'm now...

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Best of luck to you at KSU, Brazilian nurse! I'm sure you'll do just fine. The most important thing is that you are happy with your decision and that you think it is what will work best for your...

  22. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Has anybody else heard anything yet? I know of a classmate who applied and hasn't gotten a response yet, but her mail is forwarded (to an address out-of-state, I think). Have all the decision...

  23. Georgia State University Pre-Nursing Students

    troop949 replied to hcs4291's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hey hcs! I'd be willing to do a study group. I may be re-applying for Spring 2013 (depending on how my wait list status goes), but I'd love some help with my remaining pre-reqs. I'd also love to...

  24. Waiting list......

    troop949 replied to rystle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ditto. **NO** job exists (that I know of) that can be had in any place at any time. The economy just doesn't support job stability nowadays. You may always be able to find work, but not always as a...

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Wow, thanks for the info and the positive vibes, Brazilian nurse! I was wondering if there was some sort of orientation over the summer. I know the whole wait list thing is so unpredictable and...
