  1. RN to BSN online

    Kelky replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just got accepted at the University of Dundee. I'm excited, but I do wonder is anyone ever gets turned down, it's not like they have to find enough chairs for an online course now is it? I chose...

  2. OMG- Flights are booked

    Kelky replied to Belinda-wales's topic in International Nursing

    oh I remember how exciting and scary it all was! and no it will not be the last time you deliver a baby, not if you work in OB,, I've not been around much being PRN and I've managed to catch

  3. starting RN to BSN program in January!!!

    Kelky replied to pedinurse05's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm hoping to, I applied to a different facility and am waiting to hear if/when I can

  4. online RN refresher help

    Kelky replied to vetnrse's topic in General Nursing

    I did it at Kennesaw State U, but they organised the clinical experience so I presume it's just for Georgia based nurses. It was interesting, though most of the theory was not really relevant to my...

  5. It's that time again! Working Christmas?

    Kelky replied to scrmblr's topic in General Nursing

    In all honesty it was worse working holidays when I didn't have kids, it meant that my husband would be spending the day alone as we had no family nearby and most friends go away to theirs. At least...

  6. How Long in School Nursing ?

    Kelky replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    This is my first year, and I do like it, not more so than other nursing I've done but at least as much as. The pay is dreadful though, so I don't see me staying once my child is out of this particular...

    Kelky replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The 2 I'm looking into are : http://onlinenursing.fhchs.edu/ and http://www.celticscholar.com/ both have none or very little clinical and are NLNAC

  8. MMR Jab before going to the USA

    Kelky replied to ann h's topic in International Nursing

    We had to as part of the green card process, and then I had to have another (to show I'd had the full course of 2) when I went back into nursing a few years later. I didn't come here with my job but...

  9. "Older" nurses and 12 hour shifts

    Kelky replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    I am 'only' 40, but I find 12's hard. But otoh it's nice having extra days off, less commuting time etc so I can see why they're popular. It would be nice to have the choice, but really esp. in...

  10. English Midwife

    Kelky replied to Tanvi Tusti's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK as an English midwife working as an OB RN here's my input. I came from a unit in the UK where we did 'team' midwifery, so I often (not always) met the women before they went into labour. We rotated...

  11. English Midwife

    Kelky replied to Tanvi Tusti's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi! I'm an English midwife working as an RN in L&D in GA. It's very different. I can give you details later, right now I'm rushing out to

  12. One thing I'd wish I'd known before going to the USA......

    Kelky replied to RGN1's topic in United Kingdom

    The sense of humour (or lack of!) is hard to deal with, and then sometimes you get an American who gets our sense of humour and turns it on you, well I find myself thinking, did she really say that?...

  13. ACLS for Labor Nurses?

    Kelky replied to RAIZIE's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had to do it, I too felt stupid and looked down on as I knew NOTHING about EKG strips etc, why would I as a peds and Ob nurse? It's not much use as I was taught enough to get through the test at the...

  14. Attention GA school nurses

    Kelky replied to GreenWitch's topic in School

    That is slightly more than I'm getting if my math is

  15. Increased fetal movement

    Kelky replied to Lyndilu's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Me

  16. One thing I'd wish I'd known before going to the USA......

    Kelky replied to RGN1's topic in United Kingdom

    I have to admit in desperation I've sometimes tried my schoolgirl French on people! and yes sometimes the words are similar enough that it gets me understood. My oldest is learning French in school so...

  17. One thing I'd wish I'd known before going to the USA......

    Kelky replied to RGN1's topic in United Kingdom

    I wish I had known how to speak

  18. Tpn

    Kelky replied to KatieRN04's topic in General Nursing

    I had TPN while ill with hyperemesis, through peripheral lines. They didn't last long

  19. White Bobby Pins

    Kelky replied to Motolady2001's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe a bridal shop? I haven't worn a cap since graduation in 1988, but we had to wear them all through training. They were a pain, always getting in the

  20. RN refresher programs

    Kelky replied to SSCOTT818's topic in Nursing Career

    I took a refresher course last year, I had been out for 9 1/2 yrs, but the colege did say they had had nurses who had been out for 20+ yrs, so there are places that cater for long gaps. My course was...

  21. Greencards and buying cars!!

    Kelky replied to d4e5f6's topic in International Nursing

    We got financing through VW without one, it was a good few years ago though. I would think your credit rating matters more, we weren't even asked our immigration status when we got a mortgage (didn't...

  22. Homesickness in my first year

    Kelky replied to madwife2002's topic in International Nursing

    OK I've been here 10 years ( I didn't work as a nurse straightaway though, I was just a Mum for a few years) but anyway all those things you said you miss, I have to be honest and say I still miss...

  23. I got the job....Now what???

    Kelky replied to RunnerRN's topic in School

    Hi Greenwitch! I'm a new (soon to be anyway) Georgia school nurse! I wish I'd known about the CHOA seminar earlier, I'm going out of town this week but it sounds like it has lots of good info. Any...

  24. Regional differences in OB terminology ....

    Kelky replied to Selke's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've lived in the US since 1996, just took me a while to get around to getting an RN licence :) Our health systems are very different, and I still have difficulty getting my head around the insurance...

  25. Regional differences in OB terminology ....

    Kelky replied to Selke's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was a UK midwfe, it was fully for us too down in S Wales, the first time I heard 'complete' was when I had my 2nd child here. I worked out what the midwife meant when she said I could push! I have...
