About BGinFL

I have a bachelor's in biology but ended up working with computers. For several years, I worked in IT in healthcare settings ranging from LTC facilities to hospitals and clinics. I felt like it was time for a career change and nursing seemed to be a logical second career.

    The slides are your best friend. Study them and you should be fine.

    I started August last year. Our scheduled start and end dates are the same as everyone else's (although nursing crams two different classes into one semester). Enjoy your break. You'll probably feel a little lost not having any reading assignments...

    First of all, congratulations on making it to GIGU! As the instructors will tell you, if you've made this far, your chances of finishing have gone up significantly. I am at Central campus and I loved GIGU! The instructor is still one of most favori...

    WadeWilson, you sound well on your way to getting in! I don't remember my GPA, but my HESI was 93% and I had 8 points awarded for the admission process which ended up being more than enough to get in. The range of points the school will consider ma...

    I'm happy to answer any questions! The whole thing was a big, scary, messy process so I appreciated any help when I found it. I'm just paying it forward. Of the 35 or so people, I only know of one that works. She's a weekend server at a restauran...

    The handful of people that work, at least the ones I know, worked on weekends and during breaks. Other than that, there really isn't enough time in the day/week to get through the reading. The tests were every couple of weeks and usually covered ar...

    Sorry no one is responding to your questions so I'll do my best. I go to Central Campus. I'm in my second semester. The first semester is broken down into two halves. The first half is called Process I and the second half is Process II. The firs...

    At Central, we were required to wear white shoes for our clinical days (on campus and at the hospital) and any shoe we wanted on lecture days.

    If I remember correctly, you will know your first or second day of clinical. Some of it depends on your clinical instructor. Most instructors are on campus Tuesday and Wednesday. Some are there just one day. That means if your instructor is only on...

    It matters because that is what the nursing instructors want. One of the things students struggle with the most is that not everything that is asked or required of you (us) will make sense. You will quickly learn that the world of nursing school an...

    I bought these.

    That's the one!

    I already did my background check. I'll probably start the CEU's next week.

    The way it was explained to me is that at the orientation session, we'll receive a code. When registration opens up, the code gives us access to the restricted nursing classes. If you want to go to Central for the program, pick the classes that are...
