    Got accepted to an awesome Nursing PhD program after WGU MSN

    Exhaustipated replied to ukjenn231's topic in Western Governors University

    Congrats for your success! Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. I'm in the process of applying to the RN-BSN program at WGU, and was wondering how the competency-based learning would affect...

    I need new shoes

    Exhaustipated replied to Skhernandez's topic in Operating Room

    I agree it differs from person to person. Some swear by Danskos but they're tight on my right instep, so I can't wear them. I have 2 pair of athletic shoes I alternate from day to day. Don't forget...

    Nclex Mastery App

    Exhaustipated replied to guest798886's topic in General Students

    I loved this app and recommend it to anybody who asks. I used it my final year of nursing school in preparation for NCLEX. I thought it was extremely convenient for practicing questions "on the go"...

    Running, Walking, or Cross-Trainers?

    Exhaustipated posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm a new OR nurse -- still training, in fact. I have a pair of Alegrias and I'm planning to buy athletic shoes to rotate with them. Do I go for running shoes? Walking? Cross trainers? Which do you...

    Shoes Help

    Exhaustipated replied to Molly12's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wore Nurse Mates Dove shoes all through nursing school, and they served me well. I had a friend that found a pair of no-name all white leather tennis shoes and she was successful with those. In the...

    Verification for FASFA

    Exhaustipated replied to 2015Kayla's topic in General Students

    I went through the same thing and was able to get one at my local IRS office. I did have to wait for a while (as in hours) because the place was busy, but I walked out with a transcript on the same...

    Nursing Students: Do what works best for YOU (long)

    Exhaustipated posted a topic in General Students

    I graduated my program this past May and am preparing to go to orientation for my first job as a nurse (GO ME!). I recently had lunch with a lovely woman who is about to start the program I just...

    ADN Graduating soon

    Exhaustipated replied to StudentNurse2015's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Knowing which area in Atlanta you plan to relocate to would be helpful, since Atlanta and its suburbs encompass a pretty big area and the traffic jams make it seem even bigger. I believe Northside...

    Is ADN sufficient to ba trauma RN?

    Exhaustipated replied to lena04's topic in General Nursing

    Check the requirements of the hospitals around you. In Atlanta, you have hospitals that require BSN degrees and you have hospitals that hire ADN-prepared nurses. It's all going to depend on which...

    UGH, I want to find my niche already!

    Exhaustipated replied to ChronicSG's topic in General Nursing

    I know what you mean! I kept waiting all through nursing school for that A-ha! moment, the one that told me THIS was the nursing specialty I was meant for. I admit to being slightly envious of my...

    A Public Thank You

    Exhaustipated replied to WellThatsOod's topic in General Nursing

    It was the green, and there was also a rumor that it was in (yes, I'm dating myself here) Van Halen's performance rider that they have only green M&Ms in the dressing rooms. That one might not be...

    It was something about the red dye. I also remember when the red M&M's returned. It was a pretty big

    I know the conversation has already strayed waaaaaaaaay away from this (Color me Skittles, although I do admit to loving a good peanut M&M) but I wanted to add that back in nursing school, one of...

    Exhaustipated replied to noelly10's topic in General Nursing

    I've typed out entire responses and then while proofreading, thought better of it and just deleted them. I've deleted posts. And I've bit my tongue hard enough to make it bleed. Smiling. Always...

    New Nurse ... not distinguishing myself as brilliant

    Exhaustipated replied to SilverSister's topic in General Nursing

    SilverSister -- I have no words of encouragement coming from experience because, like you, I'm a second-career new grad. Late 40's, graduated in May, passed NCLEX in June, and starting my residency...

    No Jobs for New Grad ADNs

    Exhaustipated replied to KayRN2015's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I graduated an ADN program in May, and a number of my classmates and I were able to land residency programs in area hospitals. I've heard Northside is staggering their residency applications windows...

    Is this right?

    Exhaustipated replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    I had nothing nursing related until I actually started the nursing program. I was able to set my own pre-nursing schedule and classes, so I knew what was coming down the pike. That looks like a normal...

    Exhaustipated replied to Justabouttotest's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Justabouttotest: I think I scored about that on TT6, and then 65% on TT7 and I passed in 75. Make sure you're remediating and understanding how the remediations relate to the question and to the...
