    HealthEnthusiast replied to Ladycards's topic in Advanced Practice

    HealthEnthusiast replied to HealthEnthusiast's topic in Georgia Nursing

    HealthEnthusiast replied to awildsoul's topic in Advanced Practice

    I also think the advice above is golden, but I wanted to add a few thoughts as a returned Peace Corps Volunteer (PCV) and current nursing school applicant. I was a health extension volunteer in West...

  13. Feeling like a servant

    HealthEnthusiast replied to nurseywifeymommy1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think it's a great idea to show patients and/or family members the kitchen and inform them of the policies, as suggested by KookyKorky. Perhaps some people are truly ignorant of how it works (don't...

    HealthEnthusiast replied to nautica193's topic in Post Graduate Students

    HealthEnthusiast replied to HealthEnthusiast's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Come to think of it, we will probably be able to just see the decision on OPUS on 1/25. Though perhaps anticlimactic compared to a phone call or letter, that would be convenient. Are any of you...

    HealthEnthusiast replied to HealthEnthusiast's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Oh good; I'm glad they understand. It sounds like it won't affect your admission, but if you're wondering, I found the TEAS to be a lot easier than the GRE - especially the math. At my CC library, I...

    HealthEnthusiast replied to BrittanyDorner's topic in TEAS Exam Help
