  1. Opinions from ER and Correctional nurses wanted

    Heartattaq - The ER placement will be unlike anything you have ever experienced. It will probably be a combination of med/surg, ortho, surgery, trauma, L&D, post-partum, critical care, and OR. It is a never ending scenerio. The drama (for me) ...

  4. KSU students! What do you think of the KSU BSN program?

  9. Annoying ER doc's habits

    Very annoying. Is this doc one that works at your ER frequently? If he is then you need to stop this "very annoying" habit quickly. Call him, tell him that he has a patient, and hang up. And smile sweetly when he comes to evaluate the patient;)
  10. Georgia Baptist College of Nursing

    Good school. Work with a nurse that graduated from Georgia Baptist. She is great. There are many good nursing schools in the area. They might be the only one that requires three years of clinicals, but they aren't the only one with high NCLEX pas...
  11. Chronic Tardiness
