1. Black and Job Hunting

   ladybuglovee replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Hunt

   I know the south can be hit or miss, but Atlanta is a great city to live in. Diversity is dominant here. Historically oppressed groups of people (minorities, LGBTQ community, etc.) have a strong presence in the city and some surrounding areas, which ...

2. Failed out of BSN Program, What Now?

   ladybuglovee replied to JB131's topic in General Students

   Hi OP, I am a brand new grad from a GA ADN program. I think if your son still wants to pursue nursing, he should consider trying to get into an LPN program. If he is able to get in and complete that (rigorous, I've heard) program successfully, he wil...

3. RN Comprehensive Predictor 2013

   ladybuglovee replied to carolina_mom's topic in General Students

   I just took the 2013 predictor, and scored an 86.7, which was a 99% chance of passing NCLEX - its not an A but hey, it's close enough. My school requires that we make at least 95% chance of passing to test out, which is pretty tough. I did 100 NCLEX ...

4. Need help coping with death of a loved one while in nursing school

   ladybuglovee replied to lobatse's topic in General Students

   I am so sorry for your loss. Your school should let you attend your mother's funeral and take a couple days off, I can't imagine that they wouldn't. My brother suddenly passed away at the end of my summer semester this year, and my program allowed me...

5. What street clothes do YOU wear in nursing school?

   ladybuglovee replied to bluestorm's topic in General Students

   Our program requires us to wear business casual to class- always. During the first semester it was a bit overwhelming, but now that I've gotten used to it it's really not so bad!

6. Transgender student nurse

   ladybuglovee replied to teethotamales's topic in Relations

   If what you've experienced is a result of prejudice, keep in mind that when fighting against prejudice or attempting to overcome it, you almost have to work harder than others to get the same result. I know it's definitely not the same thing, but fo...

7. I feel like it's the end

   ladybuglovee replied to demeanor89's topic in General Students

   Oh, I understand! In med-surg 1 right now, getting ready to take my final. I recommend the Med-surg Success book (Davis Q&A Success Series) -it has helped me a lot more than I thought it would. It has tons of questions broken down into pretty spe...

9. TEAS test V

   ladybuglovee replied to heyitsme728's topic in TEAS

   My strategy was to determine which area was my weakest (science). I worked on my three stronger areas first, and then attempted to teach myself the science parts that I didn't understand- which was mainly Chemistry because I haven't taken it yet. Sin...

    I'm sorry Maria. Good luck in MA school!

11. Please share your GPAs??

    ladybuglovee replied to sixela21's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm also a student in GA, and totally daunted by KSU stats, I chose RN to BSN route, just got accepted at CTC. I think you should give GA State a shot, but if it doesn't work out try the RN to BSN, especially with your great GPA! :) Also you could tr...

12. Most Challenging Prereq?

    ladybuglovee replied to rednotebook's topic in Pre-Nursing

    A&P 1 aaaack! Don't take it in the summer! It's just such a large amount of information, and it's your basis for every other science pre-req.

    ladybuglovee replied to adntobe's topic in Georgia

    Yes, definitely apply to highlands! I'm sorry about the disappointment after so much hard work, but I bet you'll be in before you know it. In fact, doesn't highlands have a nursing program that also starts in January? I can't remember. Anyway, best o...
