I have 6.5 years of nursing experience (5 med/surg and 1.5 ICU Trauma/General) and for the life of me, cannot get in touch with anyone who follows through at Emory. I am board certified in med/surg as well as BSN. What is the trick to getting through...

Thanks everyone for your advice. Had an interview last Friday and had an offer on the spot! Woo hoo...I am so excited!

I sure hope so, I really want to work there as it's a great system and 6 blocks from where Im planning on moving

Not finding much information...actually any. I have discussed with case managers and received advice against this.. My patient gave myself and another nurse permission to go into his unlocked home to check on his cats, he has no one its just him and ...

I'll call animal control in AM and talk further with them, I just know if they go there, if its like he says they might take them away (Im thinking there are more cats than stated) and Id hate for the pt not to at least get to say bye to them (I know...

I dont want to step foot in there lol...as told by the pt its in such disarray that I will want to run. Im actually humbled he would even say yes to us b/c APS has seen him in the past. Such a sad situation all around.

social work referred me to APS/Animal control

I called APS for other reasons. I dont want to risk my job/license..etc. I just wonder if I could get a police officer to escort myself and the other RN and they took a statement from pt that we could enter the home. The pt actually leaves door unloc...

what about with police escort?

you guys are right though, thanks for helping me see. I wish there was something I COULD do...is there?

and I dont even like cats!!

I hate this so much!!!!!! innocent animals having to starve/die because of stupidity!!

I know !!! I hate this situation.......those poor cats. APS stated it could be 1-10 days before someone even comes out to see patient to assess...and animal control only will leave notes on the door. I know they will die w/o food and water. I just do...

A nurse on the floor that I oriented lost her first patient today and took it really hard. She is an awesome nurse but she felt responsible (it wasn't her fault) but we all feel that way sometimes. What would be a good thoughtful gift for a nurse who...

Has anyone here done the C.A.P (clinical advancement program) for your hospital...Im interested in hearing more about anyones experience...any insight would be helpful. I am currently about to begin this project and topic my partner and I have chosen...

Does anyone know any hospitals in the ATL area that pay for tuition if agree to work with them upon graduation. I'm currently going to school out of state but am transferring to school in Georgia soon.

Hi, I plan to start at KSU in the fall to finish up some pre reqs (chem 2, hist 2, spanish 2, stastics, american lit) and apply for the RN to BSN online program there. Does anyone know anyone who has graduated from this program, or currently going. I...

Are any of ya'll going over the nursing process??? IT's so much to take in and nursing diagnosis, whoever heard a nursing diagnosis!!! Subjective and objective data. This is my fourth year in school for a two year, I did it this way so that when it c...

I'm in the same boat as you so would benefit for some information about the Wellstar system. I'm out of state (NC) and moving to Kennesaw in August. Trying to get in with the wellstar system but their online application/email process, and phone bank ...

I have a pt. last week has increased WBC's, decreased RBC, Hgb, Hct. I wrote down all the pathological things that can cause this and in every column I have malnutrition and for the WBC's infection of course. The pt. is very weak in both legs and whe...

Hello, I plan on relocating to ATL (kennesaw) in Aug upon Aug 08 ADN graduation and I would like to have a job when I move...so....when is should I start applying. Would hospitals interview me early on, say months before I even graduate? Regardless o...

Also I've noticed that a lot of new grads get hired as RNs before they even take their NCLEX...how is this possible? They pass meds/do procedures and aren't even licensed yet?

I'm having trouble this week prioritizing my diagnosis b/c I have a pt. that has sooooo much going on. Here's the scenario. 67 y.o. pt. admitted for tracheal stenosis and resp. distress. A trach was put in on 10/13. Abnormal labs are: WBC 18.3 (H) i...

Daytonite, as always...thanks for your insight. I didn't address the craniotomy b/c it was so long ago. Although her LOC was decreased (it was before the craniotomy as well) this is why I didnt address it. I too was thinking ineffective airway cleara...

On KSU website it has an article about a program starting with the college in Jasper, it also says the program is for students who hold bachelor degrees in another area and are now wishing to pursue nursing. Does this mean that ADN students could not...
