Thanks for all your info - they sent me a study guide for the med test I am suppose to take Tuesday - one little piece of paper - I was expecting an actual study guide if you know what I mean. Do you have a better idea of what is on this test? Than...

Hi - anyone out there currently or has every worked at South Georgia Medical Center in Valdosta, Georgia?

The very best thing about nursing in 11 years - well I am an upbeat person with a lovable personality (that is my greatest asset) - so the best thing about nursing for me would be meeting patients and getting to know them.

People without insurance that have to have a procedure done in an emergency - well then they wonder why the patient doesn't pay - that don't have - the poor are barely getting by with what they have, and how can they come up with this type of bill to...

Thanks SABW - I had an interview Thursday for the Flex Pool - I'm hoping to get the job - will know in a few days. How did you like working at SGMC, and why did you leave? Are all the staff friendly there on all the floors? Would you recommend wor...

Anyone Currently here from South Georgia. I live in Nashville, which is close to Tifton, Valdosta, etc. I interviewed at Greenleaf Center today and I am interviewing at SGMC tomorrow for the med/surg flex pool. Also went by Suwanee Agency and I'm ...

I agree with VegRN's advice completely and WAY TO GO Emmanuel..... I have never had an MD get upset with me and personally think I would go off the chain if they did - maybe the way I carry myself or do my job, let's them know I'm not one to take th...

I have to agree with trudy & earle - something is not clearly right here, I can not make a judgement without me being the actual nurse caring for this patient. What has been posted though sounds like the wife needs to be questioned, or someone c...

This is just to let you know - GET ANOTHER JOB!!!!! It matters that you made a difference in somebody's life, but not at the risk of being sued or losing your license. If you had 2 patients on vents - with 6 others, that is a big NO NO NO. Vents s...

I agree with JohnBearPA - you can't have it both ways. The resident has a right to smoke or not and who are we to deny him that right. I agree if someone has problems being around smoke, that's fine - but I'm sure someone else (like myself) would t...

Oops - my bad - I have never heard of it being called that. Thanks..:wink2:

I live in the southern part of Georgia, a hospital I worked at one year ago, on a Surgical floor (nights) would be 7 or sometimes 8:1. I can't wait until Jan. 2008............:monkeydance:

Follow your heart and your dream......:loveya:

You could ask the Nurse Manager about this first, if she doesn't give you a good answer, then keep your fingers crossed that nothing happens and hurry with the interviews. Good Luck!!

Congrats Ohio - way to go.......:balloons: :balloons: :balloons:

I think it's a typo - could it be Rotovirus??

Hellllooooo - anyone have a clue?

Who gets the meds for the MT's - do they draw them from the pyxis or what, do they also give narcotics?

I believe I would be looking for another job FAST....

Hi - are these Med Techs licensed - LPN, or are they kinda like CNA's?

Getting off the subject for just a sec..... What is Norovirus?????

Hi - my name is Susan and I currently live in the deep south (Georgia). I have been an RN for 11 years working in various departments, such as Medical, Surgical, Step-Down, Ortho, Neuro & Rehab. For the most part, I have worked locally in Georg...

Thanks for the info - it sounds promising. I have searched and searched again regarding which Company to go with. I have read the forum regarding the "evil empire". I have looked at On Assignment, yet they hardly have any places I am interested in...

One I will never forget......working on an Ortho/Neuro floor (Charge) and I had another RN (new grad - no offense) come up to me and told me that she had hung the antibiotic on so and so, this pt. had an IV with fluids running and she told me she had...

Even though it is a very dear friend, RUN:monkeydance: (don't walk) to your Nurse Manager and let her know of the situation as quietly as possible - if something should come up (missing dose, etc., inaccurate count) quess which name will show up........
