2. ER Patients

   schreibere replied to Ciale's topic in Emergency

   I can only speak from what I've seen in the hospital in which I work, I say this because I have friends who work at places like Bellevue and Grady and their experiences are different despite similarities. I've been here at a level one trauma center f...

3. Still Overwhelmed...but VERY excited!!

   schreibere replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

   That's not silly--I actually got a little chill when I realized the same thing in orientation yesterday! We're finally doing it! I'm also a bit overwhelmed but I'm hoping it will get better with the first week of class. Good luck and congrats!

4. What might I expect during a unit clerk interview?

   schreibere replied to kermit27908's topic in General Students

   I'm on my 9th year as a unit clerk in the ER and I have to say it has been a great way to learn and see so much! One issue though is that it is very much a desk job first and a way to learn second--at least where I work. It's a great job to gain fami...

5. Any Nursing Students in Ga???

   schreibere replied to misskt334's topic in General Students

   Just a tidbit: Augusta State has told many of the nursing students I have worked with (as well as myself) that too many attempts at Algebra negates you from ever entering their program. As a result I am now going to USC Aiken (starting actual nursin...

   schreibere replied to Seasalt1000's topic in Career Support

   Too funny.... My "thing" is spit...that suction sound makes me want to heave. I think everyone has one or two things that aren't their "favorite". I guess it's one's adaptability that makes the difference.:)

8. Nursing School anyone

   schreibere replied to KSU2007's topic in Georgia

   I'll check it out! Thanks for the suggestion, I'd like as many options as possible. I guess I just get frustrated banging my head against the wall trying to get in while listening to others in nursing school complain about what b*tches their instruc...

9. Nursing School anyone

   schreibere replied to KSU2007's topic in Georgia

   KSU2007-I know this is an older posting but I feel your pain!! I origionally started out persuing the ASN degree at Augusta State. I attempted algebra too many times so I was told there's no way I can get in. I moved on to Aiken Tech in S.C. which...

10. In Icu Are Is There A Preference For Whites

    schreibere replied to tammyg652's topic in MICU

    We rotate holidays in the ER and it seems to work rather well. I do believe if someone brought up anything as personal as my ethnicity as being an influential factor in my obtaining a position I would immediately report that to their supervisor. Pe...

11. My Math Problem-What to Do?

    schreibere replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    When I first started college I tried algebra a number of times. I would start and then fall terribly behind and withdraw. (From grade school through high school I never passed math.) I was damaging my GPA and frustrating myself tremendously. I finall...
