Hi People, I was awarded the CHANCES scholarship at Childrens' Healthcare of Atlanta :balloons:and was wondering if anyone out there could tell me how other recipients liked the arrangement. It's a $32,000 for nursing school for three years service i...

If there are any Brenau students on this board...come on out and let yourself be known!! Mex;)

I can't remember what the requirements state, but if they ask for two from a nursing professors then you should get it from them. Otherwise i think you should be fine. Good Luck!! MExarican :-)

i think you husband is right...as adults we dont have the option of not working while we find our dream job. If we dont like a job its ok to look somewhere else...but its not ok to not bring money home while we look for that dream job... MEx

Why do you keep re-gurgitating the same thing your politicians are telling you when there are people on here saying they don't have health insurance AND they dont QUALIFY for Medicaid...are you calling them liars??! Being unisured is real in this co...

I turn off all my phones...i will hear about it when i wake up...nice and rested. Mex

You options are extremely limited. Mostly you will die, especially with cancer. If your extremely lucky and find someone or someplace that will treat you then you may have a fighting chance. But, then there's the question of the super expensive meds/...

Often times as well, "The Floor" is refering to Medical/Surgical inpatient areas of which are often divided into different specialties (ex: ortho, neuro, GI/GU, etc). This term is often used in contrast to "The Unit" which is often used to refer to t...

No offense, but i always laugh when i read something like this...why do you think those residencies are in place today???? It's because they realized that the new grads of yesteryear were NOT as prepared as they needed to be and that hospitals could...

As i understand it...usually you're not required to report (to the legal authorities) something like this because it happened to an adult. Like mentioned before, unless they are a minor or elderly you must keep the confidentiality. And i believe yo...

research the hospital...any awards?, any good news lately? usually all this is on their website...if you know it then say it. its never to much if you took the time. mex

I echo JB17...are u bitter because you can't go or were told your skills are not needed?? It seems like your upset that people with "less" experience are getting to go and you are not? I have read a few threads on Haiti here and you always seem to po...

The BSN program is only offered in Gainesville, both fulltime and part-time. The Graduate Nursing Programs are based on their Atlanta campus. Mex

Yes, that's correct...as healthcare workers we are often put in difficult situations where decisions are not black n white but rather a sea of gray...such is the profession. If you wanted black n white choices then you definately shouldn't have cho...

Having a background in HIV education, testing and counseling i notice many of you are confusing what "reportable disease" means and how it relates to the health department and the criminality of this person's actions. When a person tests positive for...

This is a classic scenario used in medical ethics discussions. As it stands, as a healthcare you are bound by HIPPA first and foremost! I would definately get the charge involved but thats as far you are allowed to take it. Mex

Great first experience...you were able to watch the process! thats great...now wait until you are an RN and your expected to do something! LOL Mex

It is best to wait until you finish most pre-reqs...like All A&P courses, chemistrys, maths, etc... Mex

Absolutely!! if they stay while i'm changing a diaper or a bed [the diaper not so much...especially if its a little one, but often times i have the family interject and say i'll do it, I LOVE PEDS ;-)] they most definately will be asked to do somethi...

It is a lil anal...just admit that it's anal. there are more important things like a patient desating with SOB and only 10cc's of urine output in 20hrs!!! Now why that would of gone 20 hours without being noticed is beyond me...those are the battle...

In the PICU you will see alot of bad stuff...and you will need to find your OWN way to cope and mourn...this will be of the utmost importance if you are to last in this type of unit. If you are having to trouble dealing with these things that doesn't...
