1. Is it a MUST to be able to drive once you start nursing school?

   Kskar91 replied to futurenursekl's topic in General Students

   I guess it depends on where you live. If you live in a bigger city with public transit then not having a car may not be a problem. Its kind of a given if you live in a rural area. Having a car isn't a requirement but its nice. Idk about where you liv...

   Kskar91 replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

   We start the 21st and our orientation was Monday. Our program just went through a major overhaul. They've done away with high stakes testing and the dreaded first day pharm test. We all freaked out when we did not receive a packet with our acceptance...

3. GMC vs Augusta Tech...HELP!

   Kskar91 replied to NeoNurse2Be's topic in Georgia

   You can work in other states. The rumor is completely false. the NLNAC accreditation has nothing to do with working in other states. Even if you graduate from an accredited school or if Augusta tech does receive the accreditation you will still have ...

   I'm thinking nice pair of jeans, pumps and a blouse or tank and blazer. All of my heels are 4in +. I have a vision of me falling or twisting my ankle and looking like a complete dweeb so I'm not even attempting that. I've been debating on pleading m...

   Our LPN is very much like that . Pretty much the exact same because the LPN program is held at satellite campus' along with the main campus where ADN is only held at the main campus. Our ADN is only a few years old maybe 5 at the most and we were bei...

9. Just getting started in the healthcare world:Occupationul Therapy VS Nursing

   Kskar91 replied to Jjd7755's topic in Pre-Nursing

   OT assistants have 2-3yr programs in my area and have more science classes so to speak. I believe that would be more comparable to an ADN as far as time of completion, course load, and clinical time. They take more anatomy, kinesiology and chemistr...
