  1. New RN, looking ahead; MPH?

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

    I'm not a nurse (yet), but I do have an MPH. Like you, I have a passion for preventive health, so I've decided to combine my MPH with a BSN degree. The few PH nurses that I do know actually DO have...

  2. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Happy birthday breezy! My birthday is on the 30th, so hopefully I'll be opening birthday cards AND a GSU acceptance letter around that date *fingers crossed*. GSUhopeful, I'm taking Comm./Cult. Div....

  3. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Oh gosh, I hadn't thought about fall classes. I'll be finished with my pre-reqs this summer, so there really won't be anything I *need* to take. If I don't get accepted for fall, I suppose I could...

  4. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thank you for your encouragement sn.amk! I hate that this whole process has us doubting ourselves, all because of a few digits (GPA and TEAS scores). I'm glad you're enjoying the program so far and...

  5. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I don't have one, but I've wondered if it would be a good idea to do it, kuhelski. I also wonder how long (and how much $$) the process

  6. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hah! I don't really expect myself to be in the "early" group of accepted folks, know what I mean? So, I'm not gonna freak out too much. I've pretty much told myself that I won't hear a decision...

  7. How difficult is it to transfer public health jobs?

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

    Hi Elle, do you have any previous PH experience/certifications? I'd really like to be a PHN someday, and I have an MPH degree. I am surprised to hear that a new grad was able to get a PHN position;...

  8. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks for clarifying the "program GPA" thing for us svictor. And I agree with you, this is a relatively small forum for GSU applicants (especially for Fall, which seems to have more applicants/AN...

  9. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Just got our mail for the day. Nothing but junk mail. On the plus side, no rejection/waitlist letters,

  10. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Nothing from GSU in my mailbox today....anyone else? I would expect that letters should start popping up this week for some

  11. While taking anatomy test...

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

    I'm assuming nobody took her up on the suggestion. If they did, I'd have to say it would be worth some extra credit - except that the student would be dead and wouldn't

  12. Clinicals at GSU

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Wow kel3, than you SO MUCH for your answers. And congrats on making it through the program this far as a mommy - you give me hope!:yelclap: So yeah, I'll just suck it up, and roll with the punches if...

  13. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thank you so much svictor! That did help clarify things for me. Breezy, I think the program GPA (which would include some non-science courses) is considered separately from the grades from your...

  14. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I hadn't thought about that! I'm taking AP 1right now and AP 2 during summer. My other science courses are completed though. This whole process gets more annoyingly complicated the more we think...

  15. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm also taking 2 prereqs now with 3 to take during summer. I hope that's not counted

  16. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Ditto...just goes to show how much it stinks that admissions is focusing solely on GPA and TEAS scores. Pretty soon, they'll only accept folks with 4.0 GPAs and perfect TEAS scores, which will leave...

  17. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    breezy, I have an MPH degree...while I love public health, I want to work more closely with people (and I love the clinical aspect of being a healthcare provider). I worked as an epidemiologist, so I...

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

    Bump....anyone? Anyone?

  19. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

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

    We're just returning from Spring Break at my school, so we're on the home stretch. I'm doing well in lecture; aced the first exam and only missed 1 on the second exam. Our 3rd exam will be in a...

  20. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Wow svictor, you totally kicked butt on the TEAS! You are right though, sometimes what *we* plan is not always what God wants for us. I'm sure He will let you know when the time is right for you...

  21. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Nope, nothing yet...I think people should start getting letters by next

  22. Clinicals at GSU

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I don't have any answers (since I'm also hoping to get accepted), but you asked a great question! I applied for ACE, so I'm wondering if clinicals start earlier; I think I read somewhere else on this...

    troop949 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone, I have an MPH (in infectious disease epi; BS in microbiology) and am currently hoping to get into an accelerated BSN program. My past work experience in PH has been primarily in...

  25. The Mockery of Nursing

    troop949 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nah, not at this time of year. They contract the work out to the trolls until Cookie Time is over. At any rate, I wouldn't mind a mythical creature to clean up the toddler poop my kids
