If only ER nurses documented enough for me to just look at the chart. Until IVs, meds given, assesments are fully documented questions will continue to asked. I work in a neuro ICU, every patient needs to be on a cardiac monitor and a full neuro assessment needs to be completed, there is obviously a reason why they need to be in intensive care. Questions are asked based on the floor nurse's desire to fully understand the situation and care that needs to be administered.

Hannah: Chapter 5 & 25 are short chapters. Its going to be crazy when we get our other textbooks and have to read multiple chapters from multiple books. lol. Well it has officially started. yay.

Kelli The reading assignments are in the syllabus which is posted in blackboard. I read chapters 1 and 4. They are really boring. This book reads like a dictionary. Going to get my drug test today and maybe my Banner Badge. See you Monday bright and early.

I am pretty sure that the class showing on Friday is actually on Thurs. I think that Wed and Thurs are the same. At least I am hoping that to be true. See you all tomorrow.

WANNABNNP I am pretty sure that the July Cohorts are at Gateway and Glendale. Good Luck.

I am still anxiously awaiting the info packet and it is driving me crazy. I know we have plenty of time before our orientation on the 22nd. But I will still be checking the mailbox everyday hoping to see the packet. lol

I just replied with an electronic confirmation. I am looking forward to getting my packet. Congrats to everyone who is in the boat.

It is really hard to say what they look for. I applied with a 3.6 GPA and got a 100 on my math and an 80 on reading. I was told that I lost two points because of my GPA and my score on the Predicting outcomes. I think your experience could help but I do not know if they look at that because I have no healthcare experience and was still accepted. I think that if you get an interview just try and relax and be yourself and answer the questions from the heart. Good Luck.

Kelli- I would take the 101 north and exit on Grand. Drive West and there is a Starbucks on the corner of Bell and Grand behind the Bank of America. It will be about 5 miles down the from the exit. I really look forward to meeting you. Wendy said she will be wearing black and white. I wear glasses and am on the chunky side.lol. -Melina

Congrats on getting accepted. So you are going to be in the EMCC cohort? Two of us are going to meet on Friday Sept 18th at Starbucks on Bell and Grand Ave in Suprise if you are able to make it at 10 am. Let me know. -Melina

Sounds good I will see you then. Melina

CardiacPedsNurse2Be: I am available on Friday so lets plan on then. How about at Starbucks on Bell & Grand? at say 10 am?

When is good for you? I am available just about any time.

Its not until the end of OCT. I am going out of town the 26th-28th and then again the 3rd-8th of OCT. Please let me know when you get back and we can get together.

Anyone in the Oct Cohort at EMCC want to meet up? I would like to get together soon to meet some people before class starts so at least we will know a few familar faces. Let me know. :hrnsmlys:
