  1. Learning Disabled Students

    dmarie (GA) replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't referring to just you dear. I don't know if you are LD or not. But others in this thread have taken offense to my honest inquiries. How utterly rude of you to take attitude with my honest...

    dmarie (GA) replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    It was an honest question. Sorry if you're taking offense. Do students with LD's get special accomodations on the NCLEX? Are they required to tell their potential employers about their LD? Are...

    Will these same students receive accommodations under the law to help them compensate for their disability when they're working on the floor with

  4. Continue what you're doing

    dmarie (GA) replied to wefdm21's topic in LPN to RN

    If you fail this semester, would it be possible to repeat it? Since you're so close to graduating, it might be worth it. And it will only help you in the long run to see the material a second...

    dmarie (GA) replied to loriannlpn's topic in General Nursing

    I totally understand the struggle to quit smoking! I don't even LIKE to smoke anymore! Yet, strangely, I continue to do it. I can even hear myself wheezing now, especially at night. It's a...

  8. Learning Disabled Students

    dmarie (GA) replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    Well let me again say that I didn't label her L.D., that is the label she was given by the powers that be, and because of this label, she is allowed extra help, extra time, etc. etc. I call her L.D....

    I apologize if I offended you with the use of quotation marks. I'm a very kind and compassionate person, sometimes to a fault :), and if you knew me, you would know that I didn't mean anything...

  10. Private LPN School Atlanta Ga?

    dmarie (GA) replied to flower2007's topic in Georgia Nursing

    To qualify for the Hope Grant in the state of GA, you have to be a resident for atleast one year. So financially it might make more sense to stay in Florida to get your LPN. But I don't know your...

    dmarie (GA) replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    In response to multicollinarity's post above....... When I said "learning disabled" in the original post, I didn't come up with that term myself. This label is given to certain students who meet the...

    dmarie (GA) replied to 2beanicurn's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The Hope SCHOLARSHIP depends on your grades. Students at colleges and universities in GA can receive it if they maintain a certain GPA. Hope GRANT for Technical Schools doesn't. Anybody trying to...

  14. Evening or Hospital Based Programs

    dmarie (GA) replied to 2beanicurn's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Income doesn't matter. They don't ask for your income tax returns to recieve the Hope Grant at technical schools in GA. The only thing that would prevent you from receiving it is if you are in...

    dmarie (GA) replied to flower2007's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Since you're already an LPN, the LPN-RN bridge satellite program in Forsyth would be the closest to you. It all depends on where you live in Marietta... If you're in East Cobb, it wouldn't be bad...

    It all depends on what type of degree you're looking for and where in the city you're located. GPC ADN program actually takes as long as a BSN because the program requires 2 years of pre-reqs. before...

    dmarie (GA) replied to steph2039's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Congrats again! You'll do fine on the NCLEX. Which LPN program did you complete? I'm at Lanier Tech in Forsyth and really love the instructors there. I left the GPC RN program in the Spring after...

    dmarie (GA) replied to nursinginga's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I spoke with the rep. at N. GA. a few weeks ago and according to her, the LPN-RN Bridge satellite program is alive and well. If I'm not mistaken, they have a couple of different satellite locations...

    dmarie (GA) replied to nursinginga's topic in Georgia Nursing

  22. Georgia Perimeter College

    dmarie (GA) replied to nursinginga's topic in Georgia Nursing

    GPC has 2 graduating classes per year. Each class starts with close to 200 students. So if they graduate 63 students out of almost 400, the odds are pretty scary. I can tell you that last year, one...
