    The validation test is just basic nursing knowledge from a practical nurse level - I don't recall it being that hard, but I believe we had 3 in my group that had to retake it, but 1 was due to a...

    I'm afraid you're going to have to ask your advisor about this - they have revamped the program and have changed the class numbers that you take.. I've never even seen or heard of 1905 or 1910 - and...

    The critical thinking test is very difficult to describe, it's not based on knowledge, it's more based on prioritizing and choice making and being able to apply information that you're given. I can't...

    kimsey replied to kimsey's topic in Georgia Nursing

    There are a lot of variables to it, but a lot of it also depends on the critical thinking exam you have to take, what the other applicants scores and their applications look like, they also look at...

    casketgrrl, I think you can use any, however you will have to put a patch on it that you can order from the uniform place - otherwise I don't think they'd have a problem with you using a labcoat that...

    kimsey replied to kimsey's topic in Georgia Nursing

    There should be a company that will come in for you to order your scrubs from - I found them pretty reasonable I got a pair of pants, scrub top and lab coat for around $62 - the lab coat was 23.95,...

    The Camp I Can for the LPNs is probably different from the generic track one that will be in Jan - but basically the we went over things we would have learned in Fundamentals (1901 and 1921),...

    Just a heads up guys - I heard today that they have NOT sent out any acceptance letters yet - this came from a faculty member (in nursing) so I would hope that it is accurate

  17. What are the best shoes for nursing?

    kimsey replied to chemisttoRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    If you don't have to wear white shoes, then I highly recommend just a pair of Merrell's - I got a pair about 3 years ago now that are water proof and they are the best pair of shoes I've ever owned...

    kimsey replied to roreyn02's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Several years ago before I became a nurse, i was in a living situation that exposed me to quite a bit of 2nd hand marijuana smoke almost daily - and not much that I could do about it, as I was...

    kimsey replied to kimsey's topic in Georgia Nursing

    BTW - on my score it says the group size - apparently 71 people took the exam? I'm not sure if that was 71 in my group alone or 71 total, I really don't feel like there were 71 people in that room -...

  21. Does anyone know if the Inova Hospitals in VA test hair or urine for their drug test?

    kimsey replied to Maria17's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Hair tests are not typically used as employment drug screenings - they're very costly and most places don't want to pay for them - not only that according to wikipedia (which is not always an accurate...

    kimsey replied to kimsey's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I don't think that a 75 is a bad score at all - look at what the "program mean" scores are - it says the program mean is 68.7% on mine, so that means you've made higher than most people do. I wouldn't...
