  1. Admission essays!!

    Nurse2BeInGA replied to gonnaB37nursedoc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have someone proof your essay for spelling, grammar, and punctuation (a former professor or someone you know who speaks/writes correctly). That's probably one thing right off the top they are looking...

  2. What was your worst professor & How did you cope??

    Nurse2BeInGA replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    I would supplement by finding good You Tube or other videos on the subject matter. Also, look at other professors' websites who teach the same course, either at your school or elsewhere. They may...

  3. Rethinking my choice

    Nurse2BeInGA replied to HeatherMax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Coming from a teaching background, I think of Allnurses.com as the teacher's lounge equivalent after teachers have had a busy or stressful day. Just like nurses have HIPPA, teachers cannot legally...

  4. ADN OR BSN? Confused:(

    Nurse2BeInGA replied to KJBradford's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While there may only be a couple of pre-reqs to get into the nursing program, you will still be required to take certain core classes (English, PE/Health, etc.) to graduate with a ADN. You will use...

  5. Burned out and hate nursing

    Nurse2BeInGA replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

  7. Need Advice

    Nurse2BeInGA replied to chas89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you thought about taking A&P I, A&P II, and Microbiology (and any other classes your school requires for the ADN), checking your GPA, and then applying for the ADN? Some schools also...

  8. Scared to death about A&P

    Nurse2BeInGA replied to HeatherMax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sometimes, counselors and professors use the "scare tactics" for new students in the pre-reqs to see how serious they are about becoming a nurse or whatever it is they are interested in. I went to...

  9. Cheater

    Nurse2BeInGA replied to jvanwoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When you're paying your own way through school (and/or knowing you will have loans to pay back at the end) and have studied and worked hard, you definitely don't want to see someone getting theirs for...

  12. Off the books job experience issue

    Nurse2BeInGA replied to mhy12784's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Just make sure you and your old boss are on the same page if they call him for a reference check. That would be the biggest issue. I've had background checks done (credit report and for employment),...

    Nurse2BeInGA replied to nurseprnRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Are all medical facilities and nursing schools in Georgia requiring those? I've never had a flu vaccine before, but my nursing school is requiring it because the clinical sites require

  14. I got found out!

    Nurse2BeInGA replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Nursing

    My aunt was at the Medical College of Georgia Hospital in CCU for months, I was always there with her, and her doctors always thought I was a nurse. That was several years ago, and I'm starting...

    Nurse2BeInGA replied to sommeil's topic in School

    I'll be a nursing student in the Fall. What is the average school nurse rate of pay compared to everything else? I've heard that the average RN pay is $20/hr. before differentials in this

  19. Dont make the same mistake i made on the Hesi

    Nurse2BeInGA replied to FlyaboveLPN's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    That's odd that the proctor would verbalize your time remaining like that. I just kept an eye on the time on the computer. It was counting down as I answered the questions. The proctor where I...
