  1. Is there a spot for CNA's on this forum?

    sheri_u2 replied to najahlei's topic in General Nursing

    Cococure, same thing happened to me. About 4 months after I completed my CNA and PCT course I got a job in a hospital. It took that long!! If you need money and experience soon, I recommend...

  2. Looking for GPC Nursing Students

    sheri_u2 replied to SonyMom's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hey SonyMom, I recently made my decision and will be going to GPC in the fall. I did not get the Financial Aid I expected from GBC, so that kind of made up my mind for me. That, and the thought of 3...

  3. Financially Worried About Nursing School

    sheri_u2 replied to mrod's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm around your age, and in your boat and terrified. Lots of credit card, school loan, car expenses. I guess it's true, the more you make, the more you spend. If you ask me, your situation sounds...

    My experience was............. I paid for the CNA, then the PCT totalling 1,000 when it's all done. When I finally got hired by a hospital (4 months later because the hiring process is so slow AND...

    As someone who may be forced to do GPCs nursing program this fall due to finances, I figured I'd respond to your February Post about GPC. I'm concerned about success due to all the stories I've...

  7. applied for CNA job...and now a credit check?

    sheri_u2 replied to twinbee25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I used to be in HR prior to this career change and typically the only time a credit check will affect you getting the job is when the job entails handling money. Unless the facility is really strict,...

    sheri_u2 replied to nurse yvonne's topic in Georgia Nursing

    From what I understand, clinical is 6am-2pm and most likely either 2-3 days a week (as that is how it is at most schools). Lecture is on the alternating days and is a full day 8am-4pm. And yes,...

    What a small world :) Although I bet that happens to a lot of people on this site. I think I asked you about North GA in thursdays lab and I mentioned about the waitlist. That was you right? I'm...

    I also attend GPC and have been accepted to Mercer and GPC for fall. I put down deposits on both for the same reason.....Mercer is too expensive($6,900 per semester!) so I'm unsure until I receive my...

  11. Georgia Service Cancellable Loans - Are They A Good Way to Pay for Nursing School?

    sheri_u2 replied to dmrnurse's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I was told when I called GBCN that these loans come to you in your financial aid award letter if you are eligible and that they are on a first come first serve basis. Are other people getting the...

  12. Tell me why BSN now?

    sheri_u2 replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Fraggle, would you say that an ADN would be a little less demanding than the BSN program? The reason I ask is because I want to get through this "career change" as painlessly as humanly possible....

  13. Tell me why BSN now?

    sheri_u2 replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I see a lot of threads about AD vs BSN but I was curious if anyone knows if once your out there in the field, how important a BSN is if you already hold a Bachelor's degree in another area? Are...

    Actually I took all my pre-reqs at Perimeter so probably a different Sheri. I sooooooooooo wish I was not on a waiting list for NGCSU. I am so afraid to go to perimeter college and that may be the...

    I have heard that Floyd is good and their NClEX scores are near perfect. I also heard from a couple of RNs that went there that it is very hard. Personally I think it's going to be "hard" no matter...

    sheri_u2 replied to nurse yvonne's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I can't even fathom that 5 As, a couple Bs and 1 C is not good enough! Personally, just the word "accelerated" frightens me so maybe it's for the best. All the nurses I've met say they don't know how...
