   RubyRabbit replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   NeoNatMom, I would encourage you to make small goals and meet them. It can seem overwhelming and impossible if you are always focused on the end game. Once you start a program, you will be so busy...

2. New Grad Choosing Between Offers (PCICU vs Adult CCU)

   RubyRabbit posted a topic in Nursing Career

   Hi all, This post is actually extremely late. In early October, I received two job offers as a new grad nurse (-which I am so, so grateful for). One was in the CCU at the hospital I currently extern...

3. Nurses with eating disorders?

   RubyRabbit replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

   Hi all, I just wanted to point out that it's perfectly normal to be body-conscious or have less-than-healthy eating habits. Many people find eating to be a stress relieving act, hence the term...

   RubyRabbit replied to BrittanyNycole's topic in School, College Programs

   Order the study guide from ati, which is the same company who proctors the exam. It's a pretty easy test, but practice timing using the online practice tests. I would also brush up on basic math...

   RubyRabbit replied to lovelove254's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   @alwaysklassy, Geriatrics is not for everybody but you should realize that you are in a temporary situation. Hopefully you do well and succeed in nursing school. Then, you will be able to find a...

6. Please help! On advice with unrelated work experience vs related volunteer experience

   RubyRabbit replied to Emmy115's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I don't think nursing programs look at any unrelated experience. They want to see if you've had any clinical experience or direct patient interaction. If you have, it really speaks volumes. My advice...

   If anybody is keeping up with this thread, I just received my acceptance letter from GGC. It seems that they are only sending emails, or the email reached me quicker than a letter,

11. Is anyone else having issues being able to apply to more than one nursing program

    RubyRabbit replied to ProstheticGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a student in GA so I've been dealing with the exact same requirements. I actually made a folder with all of the different programs' prerequisites and I'm trying to knock them out in the most...

12. Is this abuse?

    RubyRabbit replied to isthisok's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When in doubt, always report. The patient's safety always comes first. Your status as an almost-CNA is irrelevant as anybody of any discipline is capable of having common sense. I would (objectively)...

13. Kennesaw State University Spring 2016

    RubyRabbit replied to t.gaigetyler's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I felt the same exact way. I made an appointment to take the TEAS, read through some of the forums on here, freaked out, and decided I needed to study a little more beforehand. It set everything back...

    RubyRabbit replied to AshlieV's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely feel you. I made the horrible decision of taking a split session A&P class, so I'm knocking out A&P I and II in one semester. We usually go over 2-3 chapters a day and my...
