    Nursing Shoes

    Exhaustipated replied to MegginJ's topic in General Students

    I tried on Danskos but the store I was in didn't have the professionals and they didn't have anything in white in my size. I went for the Nurse Mates Doves instead -- I figured they were a good place...

    Class of 2015

    Exhaustipated replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    I'm Class of 2015, too! ADN program for me. Orientation isn't until August, just before classes start. Uniforms are white tops and blue bottoms, and we're required to buy two tops, two bottoms, a lab...

    Longest summer... Ever!

    Exhaustipated replied to twss2323's topic in General Students

    For me, it's creeping and flying at the same time. Creeping, because I really want to get started in the program. At the same time, it's flying because I have so much to get done before I start. I'm...

    Do you remember the moment?

    Exhaustipated replied to BeansMama's topic in General Students

    I had already decided I was finally going to college -- I hadn't gone when I finished high school, and it had always been my big regret. D-day would be when my son entered middle school. That way, I...

    Student frustrated and impatient

    Exhaustipated replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Applied in January, tested in March, accepted in April. In the time between application and acceptance, I drove my family nuts. At least I had friends who were in the same boat as I was -- that way I...

    Trying for Gwinnett Tech Fall 2013

    Exhaustipated replied to ebrooks1013's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Odd that it's not listed on the GA Board of Nursing website; I know it used to be. I would suggest either contacting the Board of Nursing directly or maybe the nursing program advisors listed at the...

    Voice Recorders

    Exhaustipated replied to larma's topic in General Students

    I picked up the Olympus VN-8100PC a couple years ago on sale, and I've been very happy with it. It has plenty of on board memory (2 GB) to save files. I have 16 weeks worth of 3-hour lectures...

    Orientation

    I have to wait until August. At least the info package gave me some things to work on until

    Trying for Gwinnett Tech Fall 2013

    Exhaustipated replied to ebrooks1013's topic in Georgia Nursing

    So much for seeing those info packets by the end of last week. I am officially stalking my e-mail. Here's hoping it doesn't take out a restraining order against me. *refresh* Nope. Nothing yet....

    Gwinnett Technical College A&P in Summer

    Exhaustipated replied to Endowed's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I did A&P II last summer, and it was rough! I literally ate, slept, and breathed A&P for 8 weeks. It's going to take a lot of dedication and a lot of study time. Make sure you take advantage...

    Ebooks

    Exhaustipated replied to BBB<3's topic in General Students

    Generally speaking, I love ebooks. I have a dedicated ebook reader and I have Kindle on my tablet and on my PC and often read ebooks for pleasure. However, I rented an ebook last semester for my...

    Ipad or ipad mini???? Cant decide!

    Exhaustipated replied to cnoto34's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on what you want from it. I have a 10" Galaxy Tab and my daughter has the 7" Google Nexxus. My aging eyes appreciate the larger screen; my daughter likes the ease of handling with...

    Orientation

    Exhaustipated replied to lcraig0011's topic in General Students

    No clue when our orientation is. I'm still waiting for my info packet. I tried to get a peek at our uniforms last week, but they were locked away. I've been told they're white tops with royal blue...

    Trying for Gwinnett Tech Fall 2013

    Exhaustipated replied to ebrooks1013's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks for the info, RNstewdent! Stopped in to see the program coordinator with the hope of getting a peek at the uniform, but she wasn't in, and the uniforms were locked in her office. Sat down in...

    New RN students starting in the Fall- nervous??

    Exhaustipated replied to adc85's topic in General Students

    I'm starting an ADN program in the fall. I'm excited and terrified at the same time, and it's a really weird feeling! Part of the reason for my terror, of course, is fear of the unknown. When my info...

    Exhaustipated replied to ebrooks1013's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Whew. :) I'm always concerned about tone on the internet. You're right -- that is a shame. I'm anal about my grades and I would never have dropped over a B. Even the Dean of Health Sciences will tell...

    Exhaustipated replied to ebrooks1013's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Speaking of which...I went into the campus bookstore today for scantrons and decided to take a peek at nursing textbooks. They had a package -- med-surg, workbook, and pharmacology text. Price: just...

    Exhaustipated replied to ebrooks1013's topic in Georgia Nursing

    They only look at the pre-requisite course GPA. I can't speak to others GPAs, but I have heard you're not penalized in the selection process for retaking courses. Many people do just that to make...

    Exhaustipated replied to ebrooks1013's topic in Georgia Nursing

    This is absolutely true, and I didn't mean to imply with my earlier response that a 4.0 is a necessity. With that said, it still holds true that you want to get the highest GPA you can and the highest...

    Trying for Gwinnett Tech Fall 2013

    Exhaustipated replied to ebrooks1013's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I don't know about on here, but I know there have been, because not everybody who gets into the program does so with a 4.0 GPA. Like RN_Diva_2B says, you don't have to be perfect, but strive to excel....

    I saw this ^ and had to go look for myself! It looks like the pants are royal blue, but the tops are still white. I'll take it.

    Exhaustipated replied to ebrooks1013's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I hope you mean you're trying to apply for fall 2014 since acceptances for fall 2013 have already gone out. Since GTC only looks at the prerequisite courses and your Kaplan score, the higher the grade...

    Tips on Saving Money

    Exhaustipated replied to zoe92's topic in General Students

    Shop smarter. Use discount grocery stores. We have both Aldi and Save-a-Lot in my town. I know people who refuse to set foot in them, but they have both saved me A TON of money. I just had to get...
