Hello all, just wanted to post a thread about Western Governor's RN-BSN in case anyone was considering going. I absolutely loved, loved, loved the program. I seriously have nothing bad to say about it. I had a wonderful experience with them and I wou...

Just wondering if there is anyone out there applying to Georgia College and State University's FNP program for Summer 2015. I submitted my application today just to get the ball rolling. Don't see a lot of information on here about the program, so an...

I actually graduated from the program last May. It was fantastic. If you are starting this coming May I will actually be at immersion week to talk to you all about the program.

Congratulations! I'm sure I will see you around then.

I am doing the full-time program. As far as campus requirements....all of them take place at the macon campus since that is the graduate campus for GCSU. There is a 1 week orientation at the very beginning of the program that is mandatory and then th...

If your GPA is high, then try not to worry too much about the GRE. Just do your best on it. They are not looking for any particular minimum score. I was incredibly nervous about the interview as well and those worries turned out to be all for not. It...

WBC levels may be elevated before any sign of incision site infection is present. I don't believe HCG levels are drawn routinely. I know we have had patients readmitted after delivery with uncontrolled vaginal bleeding and usually an ultrasound confi...

I work on a med/surg floor that does not require ACLS, however, I was allowed to take ACLS through our education department. I didn't have to pay for the class, but I didn't get paid to go either. I feel like in a situation like that, it can't hurt t...

Hgb, Hct, WBC, Plt count, possibly coags (ptt, pt, inr).

We were required to buy a pin in order to participate in our pinning ceremony. It is indeed still in the box in a drawer somewhere.

Wasn't saying that you would cheat, just saying that they do make you scan the room and will shut off your test if they feel it has been compromised (i.e. someone walks in, children running around, you answer the doorbell, etc,). Good luck with every...

Definitely not open book, note, etc. The webcam proctors require you do a 360 degree scan of the room prior to starting your exam to make sure you have no notes or anything. They can also cut your exam off if they suspect you are cheating.

I did mine on HIV prevalence. I did a lot of interviews with the health department, the local college health center, key members of the community, physicians and nurses at the job clinic that serves the area, church clergy, support groups, and just v...

I'll be glad to pm you and answer any questions.

I had a total of 31 CU's to complete. I did 23 in my first term.

Thank you!

Way to go! Which classes do you have left? Make sure you speak with your mentor and financial aid about prorating your tuition for your second term since you only have 7 CU's left.

I'm pretty familiar with the school itself; I live about 45 minutes away. I hate that they don't have a minimum GRE score listed to get in so when I take the GRE pre-test I would know where I stand. I plan to take the GRE at the beginning of December...

You have to do 90 hours in the community health practicum but it's mainly interviewing people throughout the community on a chosen health topic. You actually have access to the courses about 2 weeks prior to the start of your term but you can't submi...

Yes, you have to be practicing as an RN throughout your entire enrollment in the program.

Okay so I am contemplating the idea of going to CRNA school after I finish my bachelors and get 2-3 years in ICU. I live in GA, actually about 30 miles from mercer's main campus which would be awesome, but I looked at there website and they are no lo...

Yes, our entire state is in serious trouble when it comes to funding for our education system. I would have to leave after I got my RN anyways bc there wouldn't be any pay raise. All of our schools have LPN's, there are no RN positions. I think you'r...

Okay, let me start of by first giving a littl background information. I am currently an LPN and have been working as a school nurse for 2 years. I am about to start an LPN-RN bridge program which is an all day program on Mondays. It works out nice b/...
