   ldm2484 replied to ldm2484's topic in Critical

   Thank you for the responses! I am very glad for the experience and new skills and it does seem that people describe finding the ICU like falling in love, " you know when you know". All things happen for a reason and I will continue to walk the path t...

   After working on a Telemetry floor for 3 years successfully on night shift I accepted an ICU position day shift. The stress and social anxiety of the unit proved too much and I ended up leaving after a few issues and meetings with my manager that the...

3. Experience with GCSU FNP online program?

   ldm2484 replied to ldm2484's topic in NP Students

   Yes. Emory is a bit expensive for me as well. I live about 45 minutes north of Atlanta. Ga state does not seem as flexible for a full time RN. I have not looked into Alabama yet as it is out of state and you seem to pay more out of state, from what I...

7. Certificate vs. Masters

   ldm2484 replied to travkitty's topic in Forensic

   In regards to the original question, if one were interested in FBI or that sort of direction, would a BSN plus a Forensic Nursing certificate be an adequate set of credentials?? Would this be a better idea than a Masters of Forensic Nursing?

8. Externship: Multiple Interviews same company

   ldm2484 posted a topic in Student Assist

   I recently completed my 2nd semester in a BSN program and have applied for externships in my area. The location I preferred was not listed on the hospital's main website so I applied for different locations. Immediately following this I found an open...

   ldm2484 replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Operating Room

   Very interesting and relevant comments for me. I am a 2nd semester BSN student who just spent my first day (12 hours of it) in the OR. I loved every minute of it, though my feet did not completely agree. It is very true that as a nursing student you ...

    Thanks MinnieMomRN- for whatever reason, the thought of finding a book of cases didn't cross my mind, but I suppose it was pretty late last night. Don't worry :) I would never try to pass someone else's story off as my own; the assignment asks for a ...
