2. What are my future options as a psych/addiction nurse?

   rkstjohn posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have been a nurse for almost a year. The first 6 months I was on a very rough med/surg floor at a well known hospital. I saw new grads not caring about their patients anymore before they even hit one year and I would say 90% of the nurses on that f...

   I thought your GPA was 3.45? Have her check with her supervisor. I have 3.67 and was tier 2. SSA's all give different info!

   Yes, it shows from the beginning but I assume it's just a generic listing. I will get my real paper schedule soon in the mail which I hope is more detailed.

   @Jmlr I just realized I have my nursing schedule in my GCU app when I look at the classes. It lists my clinical on Thursday from 6am to 6:05am. Does that just mean I will be scheduled for the 12 hour clinical that day? If the it said 6:05pm it would ...

   The classes to make you Tier 1 need to be the prereqs so psych minor classes wont count. I have a psych major at GCU and only 2 classes counted. I was Tier 2. If you have C's in your prereqs I would retake that class for a better grade. Your GPA bein...

   Ok. Thanks! I hope with the shorter lectures we will still be getting all of the same info somehow. But a 4 hour lecture? My rear would hurt so much. I still don't have a schedule but the website has all of the new classes listed on it. I think it lo...

   rkstjohn replied to Jmlr's topic in School Programs

   Thanks for the update. Is this different because they added the clinical or are you saying the labs and clinicals will be during certain weeks and the lecture will be during another time? I know some schools will do lectures first and then clinicals ...

   @surfinandnursing Do not sign up for Global Health issues. I just saw the new nursing schedule and they removed the class. It's unfortunate because I spent a lot of money on it and I thought it would lighten my load in nursing school. I just don't w...

    I took it in the fall. It's your typical class with DQ posts and discussion and lots of papers. I'm taking Nutrition online right now and it's actually harder because that professor grades harder. I would take it now and if you dont get in apply in s...

    You have been really positive and encouraging. I have heard so much from nursing students about how its the hardest thing you will ever do and how you will want to quit everyday. I'm hoping that with all of the hard things I have had to overcome in m...

    Awesome, you are so helpful. One last question. I took both A&P 201 and 202 last summer and i remember concepts but not every bone and muscle we memorized. Should i spend time reviewing that stuff or my Patho stuff before school starts?

    I am so glad to know what's in the lab kit. I'm going to look for those shoes too. This is a lot of great information. Thanks so much. I have a couple more questions. Do they uses tons of powerpoints to teach like in the prereqs or is it a different ...

    I have another question. Is it true that you can't wear your wedding ring and you just have to wear a plain band?
