"You know you're going to need a lid for that!"

Aug 12 by Chelsea13 I'm usually not a hater on these boards... but the english usage and grammar here is so horrendous in the post that I have no idea what the message is here.... You mean "English," right?

"So, this is what they give you when you're a new hire now??"

I get annoyed when professors spend half the class talking about their spouses, children, grandchildren, hobbies, etc. Religion would fall into that same category of wasted time when they should be spending teaching content that I will be responsible for knowing.

Georgia's nursing programs' pass rates for NCLEX are public record and readily available. I am sure that is the same for all nursing schools everywhere. I would suggest taking that into account when applying to nursing school. If your school falls into a category where it is lower than you think it should be (or lower than you think will allow you to be successful when taking the exam), then you know you will have to pick up the slack to learn information on your own to pass the test regardless of where you take it.

Look for moisture-wicking tanks, t-shirts, shorts, and even underwear like the athletes wear.

Something to consider is becoming a nurse but not letting your teaching license lapse. You can always go back and add-on the health occupations/healthcare science (whatever NY calls it) certification and teach the nursing classes to students in your state if you decide to go back to teaching later on. Otherwise, it would be a little harder to renew your teaching certificate once it lapses.

Littmann introduced their new theft-prevention stethoscopes to mixed reviews.

"The more you practice with it, the more it will grow on you," they said.

How many people go to the "doctor" and routinely see a NP or PA for their care, though? How many of those people actually think they are actually seeing a physician? It can get confusing, but if you earned the degree, it's acceptable to use the title.

Thank you notes and handwritten notes/cards are a lost art period. I think it is a thoughtful gesture.

Not until you take and pass the NCLEX...

Maybe there's an attorney who could give you a free consult. Some do, and some don't. Contact your state and/or national professional organization, if you are a member, and see if they have anyone to recommend.

I have never even heard of Georgian Court University, although that doesn't mean it is not a good school. I did just look at the website for about two seconds, and it said it's strong point is liberal arts. Just check to make sure it is accredited through all of the right channels before you invest a lot of time and money there. Personally, if I had a choice between the two, I would take Emory in a heartbeat. At the end of the road, they both will say BSN or whatever degree you will receive and you will take the same NCLEX as everyone else, but the HR departments might look a little more favorably on a degree from Emory.
