Very Helpful Dee Dee...................I was your friend at GPC and got injured in the first month and had to leave.................don't know if you remember me I'm just now considering going back and since I already attended Lanier last year I fig...

Yes, you work only weekends. Your workweek could also be Sat, Sun, Mon...12 hour shifts and yes you make a differential for working weekends and even more $$ if you work weekend/nights but I don't think it's fewer hours. :)

You might not hear back until well into the fall. You will first get a letter telling you that you qualify to take the NET test (entrance exam) and then they will tell you your results of the test, and then after that...........they will send you a ...

Many say not to bother getting the PCT, just get experience as a CNA and the PCT job will come anyway. I took both and got hired with people for the same job that only had their CNA but they had experience. St. Joesephs will pay around $10 (day) to...

Also, Discover Mills outlet Mall up I-85 has a scrubs store (w/ shoes) and other shoe outlets wich carry nursing shoes

I did have Chemistry prior to the test but some of the science questions on the TEAS I just guessed at. There were very few that were foriegn to me as far as science. Just know whats in the study guide. I remember some of the math questions were s...

Quite nervous............I feel like I'm taking off for the military or something. I've even arranged "goodbye" dinners with family and friends cause I know my whole life will change on August 22nd. I keep thinking about what I will actually do if ...

Yep, that sounds about right! You'll form your own opinions over time so I recommend keeping your ears open and your mouth shut (as far as gossip is concerned) for the first 6 months. That's about how long it takes to get used to the many different...

Same here! They want us to be noticably students I think. Head to toe white! And promise me, we will stick out!

A lot of great answers but for those of us that are clueless about pda software................you all mention tabers drug guide etc....how much do these softwares cost? and do you just buy them at Best Buy like any other software? :uhoh21: thanks!

I would recommend applying everywhere to assure a spot. I applied to 4 schools cause I wanted to assure a spot and even though it was timeconsuming (transcripts, essays etc) and expensive (application fees) the end result was some schools are too fa...

I was curious about that too and then I saw the dates of the posts at the beginning were from 1999. Is that what RNs made in 1999?

I was successful with the study guide you have for the NET. For the TEAS, get the TEAS study guide because that test was a little different. I also used my NET book to study for the math for TEAS. The questions were identical to the study guides f...

I've been hearing that it's close to 4-6 hours per day and all day on weekends! So please,,,,,,,,,,keep these responses coming :)

The way I see it, the older grads have 10+ years under their belt of dealing with not only life experience............... but most came from previous careers and previous degrees in other fields. We've dealt with various employee relations issues, me...

There are also business degrees out there in Healthcare Administration as well :)

I paid debt w/ debt for a little under a year. The minimum payments get big fast! Soon, my minimums alone were $400 a month. Then you find yourself continuing the cycle cause your minimums are so high but you want to make your payments to keep you...

I have read many posts on here where people claim you are eligible to take the LPN boards after completing your first year of nursing school. I was curious if anyone can confirm that this is true or false in GA after you complete your first year of...

I met with Sanford Brown as a backup to the RN program. Even though I completed A&P I and II (this year), they wanted me to take "their" A&P and the tuition is $30,000 for 18 months. They basically want your money cause they won't "send you...

Good luck. I've been at it for months now trying to get positive feedback . For every one positive comment I get 10 terrible ones. I'm trying to focus on the positive cause I'm starting the program this fall. From the many posts I've read and th...

Hi, I got into GPCs program for this fall (I'm terrified by the way, only 9 people made it to graduation this past May :uhoh21: ). Anyhoot, I got in with a a 3.33, maybe a little higher by the time I finished Micro this spring. I have a Bachelors d...

Any suggestions for those of us entering an ADN program in the fall as to what we could "get ahead" on (i.e. practice dosage calcs. vs. medical terminology) this summer??? I know, I know........ "enjoy your free time, you won't have any." Howeve...

Hey Pasha, just curious if your going to the Tech. in Concord? I'm from NH (grew up in Pembroke, moved to GA 4 years ago). I didn't start my nursing adventure until I moved to GA so I didn't know what other schools, besides UNH had a nursing progr...

I was curious about this one............. What if your bachelors degree was business focussed (B.S.) and your an ADN and are hoping to go into "administration management type" positions after bedside? Does your bachelors assist you there?

Can't we all just get along? I knew very little about the depth of dedication and knowledge involved in nursing when I started too (see above post). Now, I look at it different and I can see why nurses that have "made it" to being nurses are def...
