Hildog BSN, RN

Just a quick update for anyone who reads this later. I also got a job in a level IV NICU! I’m still on orientation for 6 more weeks (12 total.) It really was the best decision I’ve ever made in my nursing career. If you’re thinking about making the s...

Hello, I’m also a cardiac nurse with 2 years cardiac and 1 year neonatal nurse on an L&D unit (I recovered stable babies post delivery.) I want to make the switch to NICU but I’m not sure how to get my foot in the door. Did you apply for an inter...

Hello nurses! I am currently looking to make the switch to L&D in the DC and Maryland area. So I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for hospitals to look into for L&D I would prefer a hospital with low c-section rates. I’d like...

Thanks for your reply! Holy Cross keeps popping up on various posts that I have made so it’s a definite contender. When did you interview there? (Good luck with the job search!)

Hello nurses! I am a new grad nurse working on a vascular/thoracic step down unit in DC. I've been working here since August of 2017 (almost 6 months) and I'm already feeling the burn out! I have signed a contract that will expire in March of 2019 an...

I'm glad to finally hear from someone who was able to break into CM with a little over a year experience in the hospital. I'm approaching the one year mark at my hospital and I'm planning on leaving the bedside as soon as I find something better. I'm...

Looking to apply at MS WHC and was wondering when they posted the residency openings. All I see is a post from May 2016. Will they post new ones as openings become available?

I talked to Wanda and you have to buy them through the bookstore now. The code we were given doesn't work anymore. I'm a little annoyed by this because I haven't had the best experiences with the GSU bookstore. She said lab kits were available the 7t...

I'm able to answer a few of your questions. You have to submit the acceptance form first before you can do the PINS review. As for the FAFSA, I'm assuming you've already finished one for the 2015-2016 academic year. You'll just have to log into the F...

Thanks guys! I got my packet last night and agree, it was a little odd. Wanda Little told me today that the PINS would be open for me to take by the end of the day. Where is everyone getting their CPR certification? I can't attend the class at GSU th...

Oh, and has anyone else received their acceptance packet? I know mail isn't running today (Veterans Day) but it's getting pretty close to the 7 business days and I'm getting antsy. I need to know when these deadlines are going to be! If anyone gets t...

Congratulations Firefly22! Good luck at KSU!

@gsu.ace.spring2016 I think all of the information about signing up for classes will be in the acceptance packet. My advisor told me that the spots are already reserved. As for the exams, I'm unsure. I had a friend who had to take them and she said ...

Congrats to @annerstine, @firefly22, @endowed, AND @jael1 what an exciting time!! Just curious, @jael1, what program were you accepted into? I still can't believe this is finally happening! It feels like a dream. I'm hoping the deadlines are differe...

@firefly22 I'm hoping you'll here back something soon! My fingers are crossed for you! :)

YOU GUYS!!! I just received the email telling me that I was accepted into the ACE program! I honestly doubted myself so much but am so happy all of my hard work paid off. Good luck to everyone!!

Thanks for the info. Hopefulrngsu, do you, or anyone else for that matter, happen to know how many people are accepted into each program. I'm sure if varies each semester but I can't find it anywhere on the internet!

Cool, I'm glad you received that email! It's only a little reassuring to know that we should have an answer before the 15th. I don't personally know anyone else who applied for this semester, does anyone else know if more people have received emails?...

@firefly22 Yeah, I bet they go off of when EVERYTHING was submitted and your application was complete, which is slightly annoying. I do have nursing friends that graduated from West Georgia and were in the part time nursing program and they gave me s...

@firefly22 It really depends on what classes you still have to take for the over all degree, besides the prerequisites. My friend who began the traditional program this semester is taking Pathophysiology, Concepts of Nursing Care (which is a minimest...

I'm right there with you annerstine! I've applied to both programs but really want acceptance into the ACE program. Your stats are better than mine, so I would say you have a pretty good chance! At least in my book Are you currently at Georgia Stat...

Yay!! Congratulations! They normally do the emails in different waves over the next couple of weeks! This makes me so nervous. Good luck to everyone!!

@jazfurnur All we can do is hope for the best! Your stats look good though! I was also reading in past threads from the Spring and acceptance letters from GSU started going out around the first week of November. I'm kind of hoping that's the case for...

How's everyone's semester going so far? I noticed my application moved from complete to "complete - ready for review". One step closer!! I'm getting antsy.

I didn't know about the extra points for TEAS scores ranking about the 80 percentile. That makes me feel better about my TEAS score. I completely bombed the English portion. Bernie, do you happen to know if the percentile rank is within the national ...
