   mt33133 replied to GaMommy81's topic in Georgia

   You can get extra money for living expenses through private loans. Though I think now with the economy they are harder to find. I know I had to take out private loans in order to live while going to school. At least now you only have to cover two ...

4. Book list for Georgia Baptist Fall 2009?

   mt33133 replied to csweetooth's topic in Georgia

   You can go online or call the Mercer Atlanta campus bookstore. They should have an idea of the books you will need. The books change nearly every year so it would be hard for someone not in the class to give you an idea of the books you will need. ...

6. Organ Harvesting Anesthesia

   mt33133 replied to naturalgas's topic in CRNA

   I know this is an older post, however I have been deeply disturbed by an organ procurement I observed as a student nurse. I was able to speak with the anesthesiologist regarding what type of anesthesia he was using. He said none. I then asked the ...

   Wow, this is scary stuff!! As a new grad getting ready to begin a 6 month critical care nurse residency program I am shocked by the laziness and attitudes of the nurses described in the situations above!! For me, I have always imagined my patients...

   mt33133 replied to able2009's topic in Georgia

   I just graduated from GBCN and I took my A&P I, II and Microbiology at GPC prior to applying. They were accepted no problem. When I applied they accepted students on a rolling basis, not sure how they do it these days. I did not have to take t...

   mt33133 posted a topic in Montana

   For those of you working in more rural areas of MT, what type of RN skill sets/experience would you recommend for a new nurse starting out in nursing who eventually wants to work in a rural area. I am starting out in ICU, but I am not sure that is r...

10. Hiring freeze in atlanta?

    mt33133 replied to gerryNYC's topic in Georgia

    I know Piedmont only hired 18 new graduate nurses hospital wide for their residency programs for grads in December. However, since you have nursing experience, you may find it easier to find a job in Atlanta. I think many hospitals in the Atlanta a...

11. Georgia BON

    mt33133 replied to RN4life#1's topic in Georgia

    Yes, apparently the GBON is saying it will take them 4 to 6 weeks to post licenses on their website. Absolutely ridiculous. A classmate of mine who moved to Virginia stated she found out she had passed the NCLEX because VA BON had her license poste...

    Good plan!! Getting a hospital to pay for continuing education is definitely the way to go! Just keep at it and know all your hard work will pay off!! If we are talking about the same hiring manager for the ICU at AMC, then she is a GA Baptist gradu...

13. Associate Degree Nurses

    mt33133 replied to gapeachRN2009's topic in Georgia

    May I suggest that you consider getting your BSN. Even if you could tell the hiring manager in the ICU that you don't plan on stopping your education at the ADN level that would help you out as well with getting your foot in the door. The bottom l...

    Actually many SATA are a good sign, it means you are testing at a higher level.

    yes, I had the same problem with the Kaplan Qbank questions. I had a calculation question that wanted the mls of fluid given over a 3 hr period. The answer came to 312.5 mls. In school I was always taught to round to a whole number when dealing wi...
