  1. Get into Emory...check! Now where to live?!

    monica427 replied to ccurry's topic in Georgia Nursing

    City of Decatur schools are great and are some of the best in the area. But the housing prices are quite pricey. If you're not willing to rent an apartment then you'd be hard pressed to find a single...

  2. Im keeping quiet on my decision

    monica427 replied to peaq's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    peaq, I'm in a similar boat. I'm not yet in nursing school (I'm gearing up to apply this summer) and I haven't told anyone aside from my husband and a couple close friends. I've been quietly working...

  3. Information for a CNA and college student planning on moving to Georgia.

    monica427 replied to Betty 1's topic in Georgia Nursing

    You're welcome! It seemed incredibly quick to me too. I've heard that since CNAs are predominately female that men are often in demand, especially in home health care. Some men are often more...

  4. Information for a CNA and college student planning on moving to Georgia.

    monica427 replied to Betty 1's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi Betty, The job market for CNAs in Atlanta seems pretty good. I don't know anyone that's had a problem finding work. My husband just completed his CNA class last week and had an interview the next...

  5. LPN job market in ATL

    monica427 replied to LVNbayarea's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi LVNbayarea, I'm not a LPN yet so I can't really speak to the current job market. I'm hoping to start PN school in January and asked a program advisor at my school about job placement. She...

  6. Atlanta LPN programs

    monica427 posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm hoping I can get some advice on LPN programs in the Atlanta area - particularly Georgia Piedmont Tech (formerly Dekalb Tech) and Atlanta Tech. There are some older threads about these programs,...

  7. Opinions on KSU BSN program

    monica427 posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'll be applying to nursing schools for the Fall 2014 semester, and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how the program at KSU is? I'll be applying to the accelerated program. I would especially love...

  8. Emory Pre-reqs

    monica427 replied to Ladi_Taurus11's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Ladi, mine are listed separately. I'm doing my pre-reqs at Georgia Perimeter College just outside Atlanta. The lecture and lab are registered for separately and listed as separate classes on the...

  9. Emory Pre-reqs

    monica427 replied to Ladi_Taurus11's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks meeep. Yeah, the community college I'm doing my pre-reqs at doesn't distinguish between on the transcript either. Now that I'm thinking about it I'm not sure it's a big deal, but I'll email the...

  10. Emory Pre-reqs

    monica427 replied to Ladi_Taurus11's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Just curious since I also plan on applying to Emory ... but what sort of online classes do they not accept? I'm currently doing the lecture portion of A&P II online. The lab is obviously in...

  11. Discouraged with my grade

    monica427 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This semester has been pretty tough on me. I'm taking A&P 1 and the second part of Chem. I also work, so two sciences in one semester is a lot for me on top of that. I feel like I've barely been...

  12. Discouraged with my grade

    monica427 replied to monica427's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks Zoe. I definitely wish I hadn't taken the two classes together. When I signed up I decided to take the two based on my work situation at the time. Shortly after the semester began I ended up...

  13. Any good books to read before starting A&P this fall?

    monica427 replied to MizMaverick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would try to get a hold of the A&P text that your school uses. I know all the A&P sections at my school use the same one. That would be great if you

  14. Community College

    monica427 replied to youngz93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's going to take me about 4 semesters to complete my prereqs at a CC. I already have previous degrees so I only need sciences and it's taking so long because they're sequential. It does depend on...

  15. Struggling with Chemistry

    monica427 replied to mswtruth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An 85 on the first test isn't bad. The conversions can be tricky at first. It's just practice, practice, and more practice. Does your school have a tutoring center? If so, take advantage of it. And...

  16. Anyone afraid of not getting into program?

    monica427 replied to zeno33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Zeno, of course. I think most people have that concern. I live in another part of the country (GA) but it seems that being accepted into a nursing program is incredibly competitive. I mean, I think it...

  17. Failed first Anatomy 1 Exam ....Depressed.

    monica427 replied to Jaurelus93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you know where you went wrong. :/ I hear it's not uncommon for people to really mess up the first test. I'm taking A&P1 now too and the class average for the first test was a 67....

  18. What are the basic pre rec requirements?

    monica427 replied to jdailey06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It varies school to school. I suggest you look at the specific requirements of the nursing programs that you're interested in. I'm in Atlanta and will only be applying to local programs, but even...

  19. A&P I Spring 2013

    monica427 replied to meeep's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the suggestions, meeep! I'll definitely look into those. No, there's really not one topic I'm having a hard time with. Sometimes it just helps to have things explained another way or...

  20. A&P 1 &2 in the summer. Am I crazy?

    monica427 replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure it's doable but it'll be very hard. I'm taking A&P 1 now and it's probably the hardest class I've ever taken, and I've taken a lot (I have a BA and a masters). I think it really depends...

  21. Nursing school and my biological clock...pls reply if you can

    monica427 replied to RN2Be77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RN2Be77, I'm not sure I have any advice but I am in the same boat. I'm almost 32 and I'm still working on my prereqs. I probably won't be able to start nursing school until Fall 2014. By then I'll be...

  22. A&P I Spring 2013

    monica427 replied to meeep's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so glad I found this thread! I'm also taking A&P 1 this semester. So far so good, but I have to say it's definitely a challenge. It's like learning a brand new language. I had my first exam...

  23. Atlanta hospital dress codes

    monica427 posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm currently taking a CNA course and am set to begin clinicals next week. I plan on going on to nursing school as soon as I finish up my science pre-reqs in the next year. I'll need to get white...

  24. Atlanta hospital dress codes

    monica427 replied to monica427's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks Flarn! My school says that white tennis shoes are fine. I may just do that initially since I can wear them outside of work/school as well. Shoes that are white and nursing specific just don't...

  25. Where to take prerequisites?

    monica427 replied to monica427's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks for the reply Kelly! I've also looked at GPC for taking my prereqs and it does seem like a great option. It's much closer to my home so that appeals. The reason I've been considering Chat Tech...
