1. Columbus Tech Summer 2010

   KatyAtlanta replied to srobb11's topic in Georgia

   I used the text for the 2103 class, just skimmed thru and mostly paid attention to the terms and definitions. I remember how cold that room was! I always had a sweater, even in July!

2. Columbus Tech Summer 2010

   KatyAtlanta replied to srobb11's topic in Georgia

   Hi Eniles2, Paeonia & Constance, Congratulations to you all! Here are a few tips on the books you've mentioned. I haven't seen your list, but I expect you're to get Kozier & Erbs Fundamentals (a fat white book) and the accompanying workbook....

   KatyAtlanta replied to srobb11's topic in Georgia

   Well the bright side is that you'll likely get an A and that will help with your overall GPA later. If you test out, you only get a Pass/Fail so you don't get the points to help raise the GPA if those nursing Bs start to creep in!

4. Need A Good Bag For School????

   KatyAtlanta replied to Misslady113's topic in General Students

   Melosaur, I couldn't agree with you more! I read the chapters before lecture. I bring only my binder to class and take very good notes. My heavy books stay at home! Then I put it all together to study. It took me a whole term to realize that I wasn't...

6. Nurse Jackie UWGA RN-BSN Project

   KatyAtlanta replied to VicMoWestGA's topic in Georgia

   Are you serious? This is a television show. Frankly, I think it's one of the most entertaining shows on now. I can't see how it in anyway damages the "image" of dedicated, hardworking, professional nurses. For the record, I also love The Sopranos, Th...

7. M.R.S.A or mersa?

   KatyAtlanta replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

   Most at my facility say, "mersa", but we always write. "M.R.S.A" (American)

8. Stethoscope colors...HELP!

   KatyAtlanta replied to oguesswhat's topic in General Nursing

   Have you considered the raspberry? It'd look great with your navy scrubs, and is, in my opinion, much prettier, and a bit more subtle than the baby pink.

9. Did taking Chemistry really help you become a good nurse?

   KatyAtlanta replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

   Of course Chemistry helps you become a good nurse! EVERYTHING we learn helps us to become better nurses. I happen to think that everything we learn helps us to become better companions, friends, mothers, fathers, spouses, neighbors, etc. Why wouldn...

10. nursing program without waitlist

    KatyAtlanta replied to sue19's topic in General Nursing

    This is only a bit off topic... I don't understand the "waiting list". At our school, you might be wait-listed only until they see if all the first round acceptances take the spots offered. If someone who gets in decides not to take the spot, then it...

11. Female nurse uniform

    KatyAtlanta replied to donkey's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I think it looks very much like the Aeroflot stewardess uniforms from the 70s!

12. male nurse sexism? L&D in the ICU

    KatyAtlanta replied to alsmedic's topic in General Nursing

    alsmedic, I completely agree with you. I'd be very offended. I'm sorry this happened to you. I really curious about the nurse manager...you posted, "Ultimitely, I ended up taking this issue up with the RN manager. Who by the way is a male for 30+ yea...

13. Night Shift?

    KatyAtlanta replied to gsxtreme1987's topic in CNA/MA

    We are not allowed to attend our clinicals if we have worked past 11:30pm on the night before. It's a safety issue. You might be able to do the night shift while you're getting your pre-reqs, but I wouldn't count on being allowed to do it in NS.

15. Help! How to handle sleep with nursing school schedule???

    KatyAtlanta replied to MystyqueOne's topic in General Students

    Okay, this won't be popular...we're "supposed" to be able to do everything, but have you considered postponing school until your youngest begins kindergarten? Maybe you can get some pre-reqs done online. Then you can enjoy your children, they can enj...
