  1. After graduation present.......

    Such wonderful ideas!! Don't know what kind yet (as there may be many more/different options available by the time I can list CRNA as my occupation), but I want to go to a car dealership and handpick...
  2. Columbia - High Crime Rate??

    P_RN...do you live in the Lexington area? I agree with you, though. No one could pay me enough to live in or around Irmo or the Harbison area. Too many, like, high school girls and the moms that,...
  3. South Carolina hospitals

    I don't know for sure, and please don't hold me to it.... I do know that the Palmetto alliance here in Columbia is strongly involved with the University of South Carolina in MANY areas, as well as...
  4. Do you call your patients by first or last name?

    LeahJet....I was intrigued about the way to spell Ma'am. My .02 - Though I'm not yet a nurse, I believe I would also call a patient Mr. or Ms. unless instructed
  5. How do you make ends meet??

    I, too, am in a similar situation. I'm not taking full-time classes, as most of my gen ed is already done (PHEW!!!!), but I do have to manage A&P II, a nursing class, a full-time job (with an...
  6. New Grad. Should I work in CCU?

    ADN student here....I'm still a little ways out from finishing the ADN program (getting SO anxious), and I'm curious about something. How does one become a Monitor/Tele Tech? I can't seem to find much...
  7. I'm curious about something, and I'd love to hear from you CRNAs out there. I should finish my school's Surgical Tech program next June while awaiting my spot in the ADN program. Reasoning? I'd like...
  8. PACU for experience and lower GPA

    icudotcalm....I'm in SC, too. Where did you get your experience?? How did the interview at MCG
  9. Hey, you CRNAs!...Any former Surg Techs?

    Thanks for the input! One more question.... Assuming everything in my plan magically falls together (education, clinical skills, and assuming I'm accepted in ICU as a new ADN grad, then to NA school),...
  10. Nurses who smoke?

    Not a nurse YET, but I absolutely do NOT think that any facility existing for healthcare should have to accomodate smokers. IMO, making allowances for the habits of smokers is indirectly condoning the...
  11. Special Needs Child and Incompetent Parents. (VENT!)

    It truly is a shame. Kids aren't born knowing that life CAN be happy and fun and full of love from parents that are actually interested in their health and well-being. It's sad to know that some...
  12. Coaching women during childbirth has little impact

    oh! when the ob did show up to deliver my baby, i do remember him saying that the pain a woman endures is comparable to a man passing kidney stones. i took my foot out of the stirrup and kicked his...
  13. Evil People

    So, let me ask something (and please understand that I'm asking out of ignorance). Would the OP have gotten into any trouble if she had informed authorities about it (Family Services, police) without...
  14. Sickees

    :yeahthat: Have to agree BluEyes...it would be hard to be "moved" or "astounded" by a Michael Moore documentary, and I don't know about any of you, but I wouldn't want to contribute to whatever he...
  15. ? For those who do C-Sections often

    I had an emergency section with my first, and scheduled section with my second (and last). My husband was concerned about me the first time around, with everyone rushing to get me to the OR. Since he...
  16. A Nurse Saved My Nephew

    I've been lucky enough to have this website as a resource on so many levels while I'm seeking my ADN...thank you so much for that. This is a different kind of thank you. Thank you, nurses, for...

  19. Where are all you SC nurses?

    Hey, Bugpie! How far along are you at MTC? I'm in the ADN program there
  20. Columbia - High Crime Rate??

    It appears that it's been a while since you've posted...maybe I'm a little late, but I'd like to offer my .02. I've lived in West Columbia, which is (as you may guess) a city just west of Columbia,...
  21. nursing tuition help

    I, too, am a lucky recipient of lottery tuition assistance. Actually, nothing is required to get this money....It's my understanding that up to $936 in "Lottery Funded Tuition Assistance" is available...
