   brittleigh replied to angelala's topic in Student Assist

   One short term goal for impaired skin integrity is good nutritional intake because this helps the wound heal faster. Another short term goal is adequate fluid intake because like nutrition, this aids in healing. Just think of simple goals like that...

   No, it's not online. I thought she was asking about anywhere in Georgia but I realize now she wasn't. You're right, that would be an awful drive!! Haha!

   Yes, I plan on starting the BSN program in May! That will last for three semesters. I decided to go ahead and do it because it will be very hard to go back if I don't! The ASN program was hard to me. The tests are very difficult and the "busy work...

    MackKay, I just graduated from Gordon's nursing program last Friday. The CTT is nothing you can really prepare for. It is an odd test that consists of riddles and whatnot. The best advice I can give is to read each question slowly and do not think...
