You never here much from nurses in SC. Are there not that many on this board or have I just missed you all? It would be nice to hear about experiences here in SC. Perhaps we should introduce ourselves. I am a student in Charleston, just moved here ...

I worke on 6E Cardiac stepdown and 4E CHF. My manager was great about working around my class and clinical schedules. You need to speak to the nurse recruiter, Deborah Wilson. You can apply online. just visit the website, http://carealliance.com/. S...

I am also in Charelston, just graduated from MUSC. I'm working at Roper, started right before my last semester as a nurse extern. I thought the NE experience was great. You only have to work 4 hours on a weekend per month to keep your job and they ar...

Welcome!!! Where do you plan to go to school?

I finished!!! All my grades are in for the final semester! We don't officially graduate until May, but I have successfully completed all the requirements for my BSN. It's amazing how different things were just a few years ago. Thanks for all your sup...

Could you post your list of programs and websites? Thanks!

I am very interested in research and only recently learned about this position. I will graduate next month and work on a cardiac floor as a GN. (I noticed a postion posted that only requires one year experience as an RN, that looks very interesting a...

Where can I find information about the 9 month program? Thanks!

There is a South Carolina section in the disussions. You may find some help there. I am in Charleston, so I'm not much help. Have you tried Palmetto Health? http://www.palmettohealth.com Good Luck!

Perhaps the working guy in the middle would be better off with more affordable insurance? Perhaps if the government had an interest in keeping healthcare costs down (preventive care) with government run insurance, you would not have to choose to no...

Quote from Dazzle 256 "Most of the time our ER looks like a Drs office...runny noses....tummy aches they've had for 3 mos. We do have clinics that do take care of the people without insurance but guess its not convenient to go to." People with insura...

A large South Carolina University coach had the entire basketball team get the flu shot. (Read healthy 18-23 year old males with no RF).He stated that he wanted his team to stay healthy so they would have the best chance to win. This despite seniors ...

Jeanie, My advise (without knowing all your details) would be to get whichever degree you can get the quickest. If that happens to be BSN, great! If that happens to be ADN, great! Do you plan to go back to school for advance degree? Do you want to w...

To scramble eggs in micro: Spray* bowl w/nonstick (low-fat) spray, put eggs in bowl, scramble w/fork. Micro (depending on microwave) 30 sec or so, scramble w/ fork, put back in for 30 sec. Increase time w/more eggs. *very hard to clean if you don't s...

Everyone has given good suggestions. My problem has always been timing. When you get up as close to last minute as possible, stomach doesn't know it's awake yet. I scramble eggs in the microwave, put them btw 2 pieces of toasted whole grain (usually ...

The biggest hospital in our area doesn't have the flu vaccine. They ordered from the company with the problem. A lot of the area MD offices did the same. My 6 year old and I both have asthma and haven't found a doctors ofc w/the vaccine. While healt...

Hilarious! I have heard people complain about how nurses are protrayed in this show, but I think MDs would have the same complaint; they are not real. I think that's the point! It's a comedy-great show! :rotfl:

...Amen!!!

CONGRATS! That is the all time best letter to read in the world!!!

The policy is the same with our honor code. Basically, if you know someone is cheating and don't report it, then you are also guilty by association. Obviously knowing and not doing something about it is bothering you or you wouldn't have posted. Wei...

Welcome! This site has been great for me, I hope it will be as helpful to you!

Brandon, If you are already on the waiting list at Florence I would not recommend switching to TTC. The waiting list is 2-3 years after you have completed your prereqs and formally applied to the nursing program. I would finish your degree in Florenc...

High school does not determine the rest of your life. I know it seems like the most important thing right now, but it's not. I DROPPED OUT of highschool and got my GED 2 years later. I then waited another 8 years to go to college. Guess what-I got r...

JimD, I am in my first semester (in Charleston) and I'm becoming interested in Peds. I'm hoping that next semester I can get a job as an extern. Any advice? What is a nurse manager looking for? I'm willing to work 3rd shift, I've worked with chi...

In Charleston we have an ADN program at Trident Technical College http://www.ttc.edu. There are many hospitals here, so getting a job at a hospital while going to school should be pretty easy. I just started the BSN progam downtown at MUSC and I don...
