  2. The Mockery of Nursing

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

    I just wanted to pop in and say that, as a snarky 2nd career pre-nursing student, I *love* this thread. Educational and hilarious. I hope to not be one of "those types" of nursing students/new...

    svictor, thank you so much for the additional information. I really feel terribly that you have to go through this whole agonizing process AGAIN! If I had any say, you'd be able to jump right back...

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    breezy, I made a promise to myself not to obsess over the mailbox for the next 2 months! Besides, all I usually get are bills and junk mail anyway. At least we have school to keep our minds...

    Thanks for the info about the CV issue, GSUhopeful. I guess I won't bother adding it then, but I agree that it is rather upsetting that they won't even look at it. There's so much more that qualifies...

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Cool, I'm taking Clancy now, but I want to take Ross for summer. I hear she's tough, but an excellent instructor. I'm up for the challenge. I plan to turn in my app tomorrow. I'm leaving right now...

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm applying to the ACE program. I wish the fact that I already have a BS in micro and an MPH counted for something! I'm actually revising my short answers and essay at the moment, so yeah, no...

    breezy7, are you taking A&P 1 right now? I am taking it, and doing well in it (so far, LOL). I plan to take A&P 2 this summer. We seem to be in the same boat! I haven't turned in my...

  12. Career change - M.P.H. into nursing

    troop949 replied to troop949's topic in Nursing Career

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm also taking A&P in spring and fall, but I have a BS in micro so I have a lot of the prereqs already (although it was a long time ago!). Like the first poster, I'm going to take the TEAS at...

    troop949 replied to kimsey's topic in Georgia Nursing

  16. Career change - M.P.H. into nursing

    troop949 replied to troop949's topic in Nursing Career

    That's something to think about, but from what I understand, I'd have to have a specialty in mind in order to apply to those programs. I'm still unsure of what I'd like to do, although there are a...

    troop949 replied to troop949's topic in Georgia Nursing
