  1. Anybody Work at Piedmont?

    kimtab posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    What's the culture like? I had a clinical rotation there and didn't like the unit, but I know I can't judge the rest of the place based on that. I will be interviewing there, anyboy got any input?...

  2. Nursing student

    kimtab replied to divvaa100's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Yes, that's what I meant. Honestly- for the time that you spend and the stress that you cause yourself, unless you HAVE to get out and get working right away, why not get a BSN. If you did start at...

  3. Please Help Me

    kimtab replied to deniseS's topic in General Nursing

    Make sure your health coverage doesn't lapse, pay for COBRA if you have to before the new coverage kicks in. I am not sure if an insurance company would be lousy enough to call pregnancy a...

  4. Nursing student

    kimtab replied to divvaa100's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I didn't have any trouble getting in but I hear there's a wait list now. I had all pre-reqs done, a good GPA and a good NET score--I imagine they let people in based on that recipe. What you should...

  5. NCLEX Review Courses

    kimtab replied to pcamacho's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I just got an email about this company http://www.sylviarayfield.com We had a 2 hour workshop with one of their instructors, Loretta Manning at our school. I wasn't able to go but people were raving...

    GPC is inexpensive. Sometimes you get what you pay

  7. Woman refuses CS, charged with murder

    kimtab replied to crankyasanoldma's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Murder implies willful intent. I might go for child endangerment, if what she did wasn't criminal- it clearly had serious consequences for one of her children. It sounds like the law in the State...

  8. Low fat diet and preschoolers

    kimtab replied to gerry79's topic in General Nursing

    My Pediatrician told me they need the fat in whole milk up to age 2, then you can switch them to Skim milk. I don't know about the other Fat free foods but I would guess that even with all the fat...

  9. Single Parents & Nursing School

    kimtab replied to fewtureRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had to drop to part-time. My employer was nice enough to maintain my insurance. I had to get coverage for my son through the State program. Had my ins. not been maintained my plan was to get...

  10. Need A New Pill

    kimtab replied to prairiegirl's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't know if Depo would be the one to try if you had a Hx of adverse reactions to BCP's. If you had a bad reaction to the Depo you'd have to wait 12 weeks for it to wear off right? I was on it...

  11. New and Curious RE: ADN Program at GPC

    kimtab replied to NurseMeco's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm in it now. If I were deciding again, knowing what I know now- I would find a way to go straight for the BSN and go to Kennesaw, or GSU, or Ga Baptist. If you want more specific info please PM...

  12. Critical thinking exercise

    kimtab replied to Teacher Sue's topic in General Nursing

    I think I saw MacGyver do that once. And if the Foley on the first patient wasn't patent you could take another pen and do a quick suprapubic catheterization. Those are good questions, as a last...

  13. child care problems

    kimtab replied to marshalbc77's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's unreasonable. These are the same policies that are in place at any daycare center. You pay a set amount each week regardless of whether your child is sick a day, or a holiday when...

  14. worried about my sister- triplets!

    kimtab replied to cornhusker red!'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, I just finished my OB rotation so I'll look in my handy-dandy OB text...According to Adele Pilliteri the risk factors for abruptio placentae are high parity, hypertension, direct trauma, cocaine...

  15. Care plan/Clinical grading?

    kimtab replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in General Students

    Ours have been pass/fail. We complained about it. This semester we are getting letter grades on our clinical papers, but only if we maintain a 75 test average.

  16. nursing made incredibly easy nclex study guide

    kimtab replied to nurseshawna's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have the Review, and the Questions and Answers book. I like both of them very much. I am a bog fan of the Incredibly Easy series, I have 5 of these books.

  17. Discarded babies

    kimtab replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    There was a story here recently about a mother who left her (very resourceful it turned out) 2 year old alone in the apartment when she left. She wound up getting arrested and going to jail while she...

  18. OT.. Did you all know that your PET can become diabetic?

    kimtab replied to CarolineRn's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. I had a cat with DM. She got an insulin injection with each meal of her special diet cat food and lived quite contentedly for another 3-4 years after she was diagnosed. She was obese as well....

  19. Accelerated ADN?

    kimtab replied to StacyC417's topic in General Students

    With ours you basically just skip the summer break. You get one week between 2nd and 3rd and between 3rd and forth. The summer session is a few weeks shorter so probably a little bit more hectic....

  20. What are my chances?

    kimtab replied to k564088's topic in General Nursing

    My Bachelors degreee GPA was 2.8, don't feel so bad:) Any classes that transfer in to your new school to count for your nursing degree aren't figured in to your new GPA. They can still look to see...

  21. Maternity - Signs (Chadwick's, Goodell's & Hedger's)

    kimtab replied to colleen10's topic in General Students

    Even simpler, just remember they are in alphabetical order from the outside to the inside.

  22. Just found out NCLEX-RN has changed

    kimtab replied to Thelto's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There have been multiple threads on this if you want to do a search for more answers. If you go to the NCLEX website there are also sample items in the new format. I just don't think it's a big...

  23. med surg reading

    kimtab replied to 3kidsmomma's topic in General Students

    My Med Surg book is better than Ambien. I finally found that the only way I could slog through the chapter was to outline it as I read. The writing keeps me awake.

  24. Was this really routine? On partial birth abortions

    kimtab replied to geekgolightly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This post has nothing to do with whether abortion is right or wrong. I was interested in people's thoughts on the bill that this nurse was testifying about. If you read through the committee hearing...

  25. unwelcoming clinical sites

    kimtab replied to BSNgrad2004's topic in General Students

    Oh sure, we all run into this. Fortunately it hasn't happened that often in my experience but when it does you just do your best job and ride it out until its over. Having students on the floor puts...
