Hi! I'm about to finish my pre-nursing courses and ready to start the BSN nursing program next year. I have applied for two schools. My plan A school (Piedmont College) wont let me know until Jan if I was accepted or not, but the other school I appli...

Hello! I would like to start a new topic for the applicants to the nursing school in Piedmont College, 2014. I want to share ideas, progress, etc. in our path to the nursing career. Have fun :)

In my area, many schools are phasing out the ADNs. It looks like some places are asking for a BSN as a minimum requirement to hire nurses. Check with your advisor.

I have an acquaintance who is a doula, and I honestly think she is annoying. They seem to insist in natural births when they are not health care professionals. I know they are trained and can be really helpful, especially for first time parents. I co...

Oops! wrong place to ask!! I think I'm going to ask to actual nurses. I am interested in people that can offer unbiased and professional opinion about doulas. I'm a student, too. Some of you actually provided good insight about it. I'm not ignoring t...

lol I actually liked your opinion springchick1

Apparently, you don't know how to read.

Are you sure nobody said that?

OMG! lol I never said I hate doulas Thank you for the valid points and for offering your opinion about doulas.

I'm a junior. I'll start my first semester of clinical rotations in three weeks (yay!). I've always been a A's student (a nerd since elementary school). I consider myself a good test taker; I like to take my time to read my tests, and I always get A...

Thank you Stephalump. Your answer is really interesting and helpful!! :)

English is not my first language either, I can tell you that I'm a good test taker. I'm never the first one to turn the test in (I'm usually within the last ones). I finish my test, then I review it all over again to make sure I read the questions we...

Do you guys remember how was your schedule during the first semester, summer 2013? I won't know my schedule until the first day of classes on 5/27/14.

It might seem too early, but I started buying all my nursing school supplies from Amazon.com already. Last semester, I noticed that prices go up as the new semester approaches.

Dwmoore is right. The neighborhood grant is excluded because they give you the school of nursing grant instead, which is about the same amount per semester as the neighborhood grant. I would check with financial aid before taking the decision to go t...

Do you start making care plans since the first semester? What can I expect in the first semester of BSN program? Thanks

I already turned in the acknowledgement form and the deposit today. They told me that we will receive instructions about uniforms, books, and supplies at the end of March in a two-page letter, as well as background check and drug test. Who else is go...

Yes, I got in!! :)

I received mine yesterday. My hubby called me to let me know. I'll be back to the US on Saturday. I wish the best to those of you that are still waiting!!

Well, I'm going overseas for spring break, so I wont be here next week. Something funny happened to me today. I went to pick up the mail, and I saw this small envelope from PC. I thought "this is to small to be an acceptance letter." I got nervous, a...

I felt that my interview went really smoothly. The faculty liked the fact that I'm bilingual, and that I will be done with all my pre-req this semester before entering the nursing program. I asked them when we will receive a notice of decision, and t...

Hi! My interview was rescheduled for 1/31 afternoon. I will have to drive to Athens, though. I'm extremely nervous

Mine was cancelled because of the weather. It was today, but it is going to be reschedule for next week :/ You guys let us know how yours go. I'm feeling more anxious now. I was really expecting to have mine today so I could feel relieved
