The applications are not due until October for Spring 2007. I have started working on my application, I have all the reference letters ready and I am studying for GRE. I plan on taking it in August or early September. I am graduating this Spring with...

Hi, I do not work for Shephard but I have interviewed with them and had a job offer several months ago. I have a special interest in Neuro, so I thought that it was a good match. I interviewed for ICU, but they offered me Med-Surg position. After som...

Hi, I am graduating from RN-BSN at Clayton State University this May and I am very happy with their program. I would recommend it to everyone. I live on north side and although it is quite a drive, it is worth it. Once you are accepted into the progr...

What unit do you work on? Did you like their RN residency program? I am considering starting my career at emory as well so that they can help pay for the grad school.

Congradulations!!!! :roll :balloons: :Melody: This is fantastic! Best wishes to you. Hope to meet you sometime! P.S. How well did you score on GRE? How did you study for it? Thanks

Hi, I wish I could help you with a good advice, but the truth of the matter is that the admissions to the nursing programs have become very competetive. Although most schools require a minimum of 3.0 GPA, the truth is that you need a much higher GPA ...

Emory University accepts students from biology majors as well as other non-medical fields and this is one of the best PA programs in the country, or at least in the South. I have looked at both PA and NP programs there and decided that NP was more ap...

It truly depends on what you are looking for... I was surprised to see so many negative comments. I know of many people who have worked at Grady and are or have been very happy with their experience there. For new graduates Grady pay scale is same a...

I am graduating in May 2006 from RN-BSN program and will be applying to Emory as well. I just bougth Kaplan 's GRE EXAM, 2006 edition and I was told to purchase the flash cards for the vocabulary and study 3-5 words/day. I am not as worried about the...

Hi, If you are looking for the best public schools in the area move to east cobb. That is what we did and we love it. It is a very nice suburb area. Most of the moms stay home and are really involved in PTAs and schools. Good luck!

Probably this is too late, but if you really want to take a review, I would recommend Kaplan. They offer reviews for US graduates as well as for International graduates. Couple of my friends took it and did great! Also good one is Hurst review. Both ...

Hi everyone, I have passed my NCLEX-RN and should receive my RN license in a few weeks. As happy as I am to finally become an RN, I feel completely lost. My problem is I do not know what I want to do... Does anyone else feel this way?:imbar For year...

Thank you for your thorough response. I am so glad to hear that I am not alone in wanting to be properly oriented in my new role as an RN. Thank you for your encouragement.

This sounds great! I will look into it. Thank you.

Thank you for your suggestion. We actually have 3 hospitals in the area that offer excellent orientation programs for new graduate RN's that last 8+ weeks. I really would like to have a slow start and be comfortable in my area and unit. Real world is...

Thank you so much for your advise. I truly appreciate it.:)

Suzanne, Actually, I will not require that study plan after all. I just took NCLEX-RN for the first time on November 30th and I was 99.9% sure that I had failed when the computer shut down after 75 questions. As a matter of fact, as soon as I got to ...

hi suzanne, how can i get one of your study plans? i am preparing for nclex-rn exam to be taken in february.:) i really enjoy reading your postings and feedback! thank you for all your help.

Thank you so much for your advice and kind words. I graduated from nursing school with honors, but I am terrified of NCLEX-RN. It is comforting to know that I am not the only one being anxious

No need to roll eyes :) Unlike you I am very new to this forum and I could not have possibly been aware of your qualifications and background. I just read your posting recommending Saunders book and you sounded like someone who knew what they were t...

I have taken TOEFL as required by Board of Nursing and University admissions and have passed it a few years back. Also, a two year nursing program is sufficient as long as you have all the required class/subject credit hours, clinicals and have gradu...

Are there any good programs you can recommend for International Students? I graduated in 2002 from a 2-year program and it has taken me this long to go through the process (with credentials evaluation, board application, etc.).. Although English is n...

Hi Suzanne4, I think you are the best person to give me an advise. I am a graduate of international school of nursing. I am planning on taking NCLEX this fall and was planning on taking Kaplan NCLEX Review for International Graduates. However, I keep...
