  1. Emory New Grad Residency Spring 2012

    I did my practicum in an Emory ICU and applied to the new grad program. I have an interview scheduled for Monday with the unit director of the floor where I did my practicum. Hopefully everyone hears about interviews soon!
  2. Georgia NCLEX pass rate

    First try pass rates up through 2009 http://www.usg.edu/health_workforce_center/documents/nclex_rates.pdf
  3. Perhaps you need to narrow down your topic. General "heart assessment" is very broad and not likely to result in many articles you're interested in. What is it about cardiac assessment that interests you and what outcome are you looking for? Are y...
  4. Contract Issue

    Whether you resign or are fired within the three months still means you did not meet the terms of your contract. The way I (and I imagine most employers) see it is that the $10,000 doesn't belong to you until you fulfill your contract. They were ju...
  5. exchange questions web

    Sorry you're in such a tough situation. It sounds like your program needs some revamping... What do your school's NCLEX pass rates look like? If people have been continuously cheating, I imagine many would have a hard time passing. I would bring t...
  6. exchange questions web

    Most (all?) schools consider it against academic honesty policies to post previous exam questions. For practice questions you can use the CDs and study guides that go with your text books or get a couple of NCLEX review books with practice questions.
  7. Med Surg.

    We're using the same book for our Med-Surg course. Definitely get the study guide that goes with the book. There are a lot of NCLEX style questions and case studies that really test your ability to apply the material in the chapters. Good luck!
  8. How do I nicely say "no"?

    I would just say, "I'm sorry, I wish I could help you out, but my work schedule has been set and cannot be changed." Leave it at that and don't feel guilty. You're in school for YOU, and you've made appropriate arrangements to accommodate your clini...
  9. MCG Clinical Nurse Leader - Fall 2010

    I can only speak for first semester and only for Athens as the other campuses have different lab/clinical schedules. For the first part of the semester we had lecture on Mondays from 9-4 (with 12-1 break) and lab most Tuesdays and Wednesdays (either ...
  10. MCG Clinical Nurse Leader - Fall 2010

    You're definitely not limited to only working in Georgia. Once you pass NCLEX your RN license has reciprocity so you can work in any state. There may be some paperwork to complete to verify your license in a new state, but its no big deal. If the...
  11. Intake and Output Question

    Looks like the consensus is no (link) pudding is not counted as intake. Good question, though!
  12. MCG Clinical Nurse Leader - Fall 2010

    I agree with everything that Chenda said. I'm also at the Athens campus and love the program. Our group is amazing. We have very diverse backgrounds and work very well together. I love that there aren't classes scheduled every day. I'm usually do...
  13. While a person with loss of cognitive ability may be able to move, they may have limited sensory perception, which is one factor analyzed in the Braden Risk Assessment Scale. In otherwords, they may have the physical ability to move, but the signal ...
  14. GSU Spring 2011 Applicants (BSN)

    nope, I decided to attend MCG's accelerated MSN program. I've heard great things about GSU's program, too :)
  15. GSU Spring 2011 Applicants (BSN)

    In general - majority of pre-req's completed, 3.9+ pre-req GPA, and 90+ on your TEAS and you're in, without consideration for the remainder of your application. They do send out acceptances on a tiered system (X GPA, X TEAS - Tier 1 -acceptances go ...
