  1. Kennesaw State BSN Fall 2012

    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 you.
  2. Kennesaw State BSN Fall 2012

    Not a problem. Good luck to you all! :)
  3. Kennesaw State BSN Fall 2012

    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. Therefore, you cannot use your job as an excuse not to do ...
  4. Kennesaw State BSN Fall 2012

    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 8am-5pm, but I was in school 4 out of 5 days of the we...
  5. Kennesaw State BSN Fall 2012

    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. Accelerated students admitted in the Fall, you'll have 1 cli...
  6. Kennesaw State BSN Fall 2012

    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 semester. Most students that are employed work as...
  7. Kennesaw State BSN Fall 2012

    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 more before the interview because that is how they ...
  8. Kennesaw State BSN Fall 2012

    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 participate in the Student Nurses Association. We have spea...
  9. Kennesaw State University Nursing 2012

    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 weekday job. Most of the students that have jobs in th...
  10. Kennesaw State University Nursing 2012

    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 (partially online, partially on-campus). I believe that...
  11. Kennesaw State BSN Fall 2012

    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 for accelerated. If you do not get in, I recommend t...
  12. Kennesaw State University Nursing 2012

    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 a clinical day and location. It may not be your p...
  13. Kennesaw State University Nursing 2012

    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 university classes, you can pick a chem class on ...
  14. Kennesaw State Fall 2011

    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 to answer questions based on your experience. For e...
  15. Kennesaw State Fall 2011

    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 extensively for my interview. As they were asking me ques...
  16. KSU accelerated RN program Spring 2012

    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 have to put students that live further north at th...
  17. KSU accelerated RN program Spring 2012

    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. However, they have to spread everyone out, so you ma...

    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 Nursing has conducted a small study of our own st...
  19. KSU accelerated RN program Spring 2012

    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 lab, and how busy they are. You could call the KSU c...
  20. KSU accelerated RN program Spring 2012

    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 series. For example, the Hepatits B is a 3 shot seri...

    I'll see you all at orientation! SNA will be there to tell you a little about the organization and sell T-shirts and such. Congratulations on your wonderful accomplishment! We look forward to having you all as a part of the nursing family! :)
  22. KSU accelerated RN program Spring 2012

    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 perfectly fine. I have a pair of flare leg pants to...
  23. KSU accelerated RN program Spring 2012

    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 nursing student. You just need a school ID to show th...
  24. Kennesaw State BSN Fall 2012

    I bought the study guide, which has two practice tests in it. I studied the ENTIRE study guide, word for word, did all of the end of section problems/questions and took both of the practice tests in the study guide. I made a 91 (which was 99th percen...

    @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 requirements.
