    IslandRae replied to quittaRN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    IslandRae replied to jennys77's topic in Georgia Nursing

    IslandRae replied to brumble's topic in Georgia Nursing

  7. CNA skills test

    IslandRae replied to Jazzynicole's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    @Linamtob1, it depends.... The Examiner may just show you the room and where the supplies are. They try to make it as close to as possible to the real thing. If you practice enough, you should not...

  8. Do you know what the requisite courses for Accelerated Nursing Program are for Hunter

    IslandRae replied to Struggling Gal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just taking a stab at this... I looked at the website and it says that the pre-requisites are in bold. The classes in bold are the same classes that are listed above. I think they just listed them so...

  9. Is nursing the correct major for me? Help!!!

    IslandRae replied to ekim48's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please OP, go shadow a nurse, or volunteer in a hospital to get exposure to the field. I can't tell you how many times I have heard stories about students in their first semester of clinicals that...

  10. Kennesaw State BSN Fall 2012

    IslandRae replied to IslandRae's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Nope....KSU doesn't have anything like that. Also, you call F and ask several times you'll get a different answer every time. Half the time it doesn't even seem like they go off of the information...

  13. KSU accelerated RN program Spring 2012

    IslandRae replied to UGAgal's topic in Georgia Nursing

    @lizyun, if you are talking about financial aid, and this is your first semester, they usually don't show your awards right away. You might want to give them a call. I have always had to stay on top...

  14. CNA skills test

    IslandRae replied to Jazzynicole's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Nothing is separated, it is supposed to be set up like a real patient room. You have to get the materials you need whether it means picking out a shirt from the "closet", getting sheets to make an...

  15. CNA skills test

    IslandRae replied to Jazzynicole's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It depends, if they have a thermometer present...use it. If not, they will tell you to say something like "checking the temp of the water and it is..." I have my CNA cert in GA and where I tested...

  16. How do you study with a baby?!?

    IslandRae replied to mrsb04's topic in General Students

    It's going to be hard, but you'll get through it. I had my daughter now 8 when I was pursuing my first undergrad degree. I was completely spoiled because she was the most perfect baby. I was also...

  17. How long would it take to get a ASN part time?

    IslandRae replied to romerol's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. How long would it take to get a ASN part time?

    IslandRae replied to romerol's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just curious.....but do they have a website you can look at to figure this out, or maybe call the school and speak with an adviser to figure this out. An Adviser would be the best source to get...

  20. People in my program don't care!

    IslandRae replied to BosRMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just keep doing you! Forget about them, they obviously aren't taking it serious. Quite frankly.....I wouldn't want those students to be a nurse one day and take care of me. Let them weed themselves...

    IslandRae replied to kayruhh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think if u take the CLEP test and pass, you won't have to take the remedial math class. If you have the discipline, I would just dedicate a few months to prepare and take the test. There are a lot...
