    A funny thing that happened to me today

    Exhaustipated replied to 3xmom's topic in General Students

    OMG...that's so funny! Your girls probably didn't even think twice about it. It reminds me of the time I took my daughter to the store. She was about the same age -- around 8 years old -- at the...

    scared freshman

    Exhaustipated replied to amber_bsc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a mom of two (ages 16 and 11) just starting my pre-requisites, too. Because I've been out of school so long, the advisor I spoke with suggested easing back in. I'm registered for four classes:...

    Exhaustipated replied to S. Braden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Discouraged prenursing student :(

    Exhaustipated replied to jennyjen87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lanier Tech LPN Students Spring 2011

    Exhaustipated replied to malarwen's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Nope. I spoke to somebody in December 2010 or January 2011, and he made it very clear that Lanier Tech was a non-transfer school. That's the main reason I decided to plunge in and head straight for...

    Nursing School For Older Student

    Exhaustipated replied to m9791l's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you'll have a problem with age discrimination. I remember hearing at the meeting about the nursing program the average age was somewhere in the 30's. While I'm a little younger than...

    Exhaustipated posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    Gwinnett Tech - Microbiology

    Exhaustipated replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I just looked...I think GTC has a summer Microbiology course, but I'm not entirely sure. Since we can't list names on this site, I'll suggest you go to http://www.gtc-web.org => search class...

    Gwinnett Tech - Microbiology

    Exhaustipated replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Georgia Nursing

    From what they were saying in the info session I attended, if you're going to try and do Microbiology this summer, be prepared. It's a short session because of the change from quarters to semesters....

    Gwinnett Tech or Athens Tech?

    Exhaustipated replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Georgia Nursing

    What's the third school you're looking at? Right now, I only have two in mind, but I have to get through the pre-requisites first. I've been talking to my husband about it: "If it were a perfect...

    Gwinnett Tech or Athens Tech?

    Exhaustipated replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks for the response! That drive is one of the things that was factoring in. I'm actually in Barrow, and the drive to ATC (no 316 at all!) for me is much more pleasant than the one to GTC. I...
