1. Anyone ever feel bored?

   anom123456 replied to hs2005's topic in Operating Room

   I thought I posted a reply to this thread...strange. Anyway, regarding this part above, I can't tell you how many times I've seen circulators who face their back to the field and zone out during the surgery, not paying attention. I cringe when I he...

2. IV fluid question

   You're welcome. Your post was on the right track, and it shows you're thinking, which is a good thing.

3. IV fluid question

   anom123456 replied to marilyn1711's topic in Student Assist

   Regarding this part above: D10W is technically hypertonic, but as a previous poster stated, it becomes metabolized very quickly and then become hypotonic. Same as with D5W, starts out isotonic, but then metabolizes and becomes hypotonic. You have t...

4. Georga Perimeter or Georga Highlands

   anom123456 replied to Apowell604's topic in Georgia

   No need to get defensive. Just clarifying facts. Do you have support showing these first pass rates? Stating unsupported percentages is not helpful to someone researching schools.

5. Georga Perimeter or Georga Highlands

   anom123456 replied to Apowell604's topic in Georgia

   You may want to recheck your stats. GHC has averaged 89% from 2006-2009, with the highest at 92% in 2006. Certainly does not surpass other schools. This is according to the GA Board of Nursing. http://www.sos.ga.gov/plb/rn/NCLEXSCORES20062009.pdf

6. Don't know what to do (job offer)

   anom123456 replied to optimusRN's topic in Georgia

   Ok, that makes sense, I didn't realize the NM was the one making the offer, I thought it was coming from HR. Well good luck and hopefully one of the other places will come through next week.

7. Don't know what to do (job offer)

   anom123456 replied to optimusRN's topic in Georgia

   I'm really surprised they are pushing you to make a decision before discussing the pay and benefits. Could it be they just want to know if you are interested enough for them to make you a formal offer? If so, there's no harm in telling them you are...

8. Don't know what to do (job offer)

   anom123456 replied to optimusRN's topic in Georgia

   Definitely get the offer in writing if you are planning on moving down to Macon. They should understand your need to have more time to decide since it involves a move and this will buy you some time to see if an opportunity exists at either of the o...

9. Don't know what to do (job offer)

   anom123456 replied to optimusRN's topic in Georgia

   Here's what I would do. I would call Macon on Monday and ask them to send you a formal offer letter stating the pay and benefits before you are able to give them a definite decision. I would contact Emory and NE Georgia, let them know that you spok...

10. Any GA ADN-RNs having problems transferring credits for a BSN?

    anom123456 replied to HighNursingGoals's topic in Georgia

    If you attend a technical college that is part of The Technical College System of Georgia and transfer to a 4 year college within the University System of Georgia, you shouldn't have any trouble transferring your non-technical courses (i.e. college l...

11. Nursing Diagnoses- drug overdose

    anom123456 replied to ztasweetie's topic in General Students

    It's a good thing Daytonite is still with us in spirit - OP...here is a link that Daytonite posted that will point you in the right direction on how to draft your care plan relating to overdose. Good luck and don't be afraid to come back if you have...

12. Who's hiring new grads in the OR in Atlanta, GA?

    anom123456 replied to simplycomplicated's topic in Operating Room

    I think you are missing my point. How long have you been working in L&D? You shouldn't be considered a "new grad" any longer. You graduated in December 2009 and have been working as an RN (I assume). Depending on the facility, a "new grad" is...

13. Who's hiring new grads in the OR in Atlanta, GA?

    anom123456 replied to simplycomplicated's topic in Operating Room

    If you are working in L&D, why are you looking at new grad positions? Does your facility have an OR? Why not look at transferring into the OR at the facility you are currently working at?

14. Struggles with finding a nursing job....

    anom123456 replied to ohyeah's topic in New Nurse

    One of your old posts indicates you were an electrician and gave up a great job for nursing. That sounds like a pretty good marketable job skill. Do what you need to do until you can land a nursing job.

15. New grad applying to Grady...license question

    anom123456 replied to jan18's topic in Georgia

    I would call the recruiter and find out directly from them.
