    I'm pretty sure I've read on this forum somewhere that it will be by the end of April. That's as specific as it usually gets. If you call/email F, she will usually tell

    brianaelise, A weekend job should be fine. Every once in a while, they have clinical on Saturdays. Unfortunately, the school of nursing's stance on employment is that they don't encourage it....

    Sorry. I should have clarified. By days, I mean a desk/office job (8am-5pm). You will have at least one day of the week and weekends where you could work as a Tech. The job I had was Mon-Fri from...

    You can see the schedule breakdown on the school of nursing website. It is around 15 hours/semester. However, the summer is less (usually 12) broken up between maymester and summer session....

    gtqueen371 replied to IslandRae's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Working part time is doable. However, day jobs are unlikely to work out. I worked part-time my first semester, but because it was a day job, I ended up working very few hours and quite after the first...

    hellenvn, Honestly, I can't say one way or another if you'll get in. I can say that if you got an interview, then you were in the top 150-160 out of around 900 that applied. Your GPA and TEAS matter...

    gtqueen371 replied to IslandRae's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I love the nursing program. It is strenuous at times, but well worth it. It will be even better on 12/12/12 when I graduate! :) P.S. If you want to get a head start, pre-nursing students can...

    One other thing that I wanted to mention - It is not impossible to have a job, but you have to be dedicated to working hard. I would say that it is not very plausible that you'd be able to hold a...

    The online options vary by semester. During the Fall, I signed up for Research as an online class. However, when we came the first day, they announced that it had been switched to a hybrid class...

    gtqueen371 replied to IslandRae's topic in Georgia Nursing

    If you interviewed, you've come a long way. The nursing program gets approximately 900 applicants per semester. They interview about 150-160 people, and they accept around 80 for traditional and 40...

    jmilkah, The number of days you will need to attend vary by semester. It's not set in stone for every semester. Also, you can give your preference for clinical days, but ultimately you are assigned to...

    gtqueen371 replied to StarLite1980's topic in Georgia Nursing

    jmilkah, Both the accelerated and traditional programs schedules are set. Everyone that comes in together takes all the same classes. There is only one choice for each class every semester. With other...

    gtqueen371 replied to Sings&Shoots's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The mock interview is a great resource! They will ask you similar questions to the ones in the interview. It is a behavioral interview, meaning that they will ask open-ended questions and expect you...

    Nutrizun, I got into the program on my first attempt with the following: Overall: 3.18 Math/Science: 3.60 7 of 12: 3.88 TEAS: 90.7 The interview is also a large part of the process. I prepared...

    You get a first and second choice for Clinical Day. They will decide your location based on where you live. Just because you live in Kennesaw doesn't mean that you will get Kennestone. Sometimes they...

    gtqueen371 replied to UGAgal's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Keep in mind that you all do not yet know what day your clinical will be. It can be any day Wed-Sat. Some students get Wed/Fri (the same as their lab), and it doesn't affect their schedule as much....

    klove10- The Wellstar School of Nursing has an official stance on employment. While this isn't a "rule" for students, it is a guideline that they strongly recommend you follow. "The WellStar School of...

    X-ray results are usually in the same day. I would think at most 2-3 days. However, if you are having lab work done for titers, that could take longer. I'm not sure how long. It would depend on the...

    I don't know if the clinic accepts insurance...probably, but they do immunizations for a very low cost. You should be able to get most of your immunizations the day of your physical, unless it is a...

    Yes. As long as they are white, you can wear them. I wouldn't get anything too crazy like the cargo pant scrubs, but a simple, white pair of pants with a pocket or two down the leg and a wide leg is...

    gtqueen371 replied to UGAgal's topic in Georgia Nursing

    You can actually buy the pants anywhere, as long as they are white. I would HIGHLY recommend buying them from Life Uniform. There is a location in Town Center Mall, and you get 10% off for being a...

    @UGAgal - BLS CPR is the Healthcare Provider CPR course. The BLS stands for Basic Life Support. You will need to take that one in order to meet your
