1. MCCG Clinicals

   SCUnursie06 replied to rnrn10's topic in Georgia

   I did my preceptorship in the emergency room at mccg. I survived 3 months, it wasn't bad. My preceptor was very nice to work with and a good teacher. Some nurses have attitudes with students or just don't want to take the time to teach you somethi...

2. What's the deal with black?

   SCUnursie06 posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   I will be starting a new job next week and the RN's are required to wear black or white scrubs. What is the rationale behind black scrubs? Why in the world does management think it's suitable? It's just depressing & gloomy looking to me. At l...

   SCUnursie06 posted a topic in NICU

   Has anybody else had trouble finding a position in the middle ga area for an RN? All the hospitals have very limited openings. It's very discouraging especially if you are only interested in one area.

   SCUnursie06 replied to ImaDreamer's topic in Georgia

   I graduated from gordon in 2005. I agree that most of the pre-req are a joke but something you have to do to get where your going. A&P, micro are not that bad, depends on who the professor is.

14. LPN IV Scope in GA

    SCUnursie06 replied to michael79's topic in Georgia

    In my past experience as an LPN, I could start IV's but could not push anything (lasix, pain med etc.). Did not have opportunities with piccs or central lines, don't think I would have touched them though.
