1. Highest Troponin Levels You've Seen?

   MOGA replied to Dogstar's topic in CCU

   > 900. I didn't believe it. MD said it was the biggest MI he'd ever seen. Not so good of a prognosis, obviously.

2. New Grad Milestones

   MOGA replied to emtb2rn's topic in New Nurse

   LOL! That was totally me the other day! It's really scary when they say, "This feels JUST like my last heart attack." Ah!

3. Georgia BON

   MOGA replied to RN4life#1's topic in Georgia

   I was posted today! I took my NCLEX right at 3 weeks ago. Any luck on yours yet, OP?

4. Georgia BON

   MOGA replied to RN4life#1's topic in Georgia

   I, too, am waiting to be posted. A friend was posted in a couple of weeks, so I'm hoping I'll have mine soon. How long has it been since you took NCLEX?

5. First Job

   MOGA replied to Nurse 2009's topic in New Nurse

   That's amazing. It's wonderful to see those miracles and recoveries. I, too, am a new grad from December, so I know what you mean by wanting to get out there and do something.

6. Not allowed to tape nursing lectures

   MOGA replied to Amy'sGrandbaby's topic in General Students

   I understand the argument about being clear on what will be on exams, but I look at it this way. We're learning how to care for patients. Just because the professor says this item will not be on the exam doesn't mean it's not important for future ref...

7. Anyone else start in tele?

   MOGA replied to MOGA's topic in Cardiac

   Hey guys, Thanks for all your encouragement and words of wisdom. I'm loving everything so far. I just passed NCLEX (yay!) so when I post to the BON I will be able to start functioning as an RN. I have gotten to see a lot of cool things (CABG's are c...

8. Not allowed to tape nursing lectures

   MOGA replied to Amy'sGrandbaby's topic in General Students

   I just wouldn't be surprised if there were some ramifications if you were found out, even as discrete as you are. If you really thought it was totally okay you wouldn't be hiding it. Why hide it if you're in the right? Just think about it. Don't caus...

9. Not allowed to tape nursing lectures

   MOGA replied to Amy'sGrandbaby's topic in General Students

   Aside from all the legality of recording someone against their will and without their knowledge (it's essentially wire-tapping...ask the government if that has ever gotten them in trouble), think about it this way. Do you have kids? Let's say you do ...

10. Has anyone ever?

    MOGA replied to youneek28's topic in Georgia

    I have just taken one course at another school because it was offered when I needed it. But you have to make sure it will transfer. Get permission from your original school to be a transient student and get the class okayed. Sometimes technical class...

11. Best LPN-RN Nursing Programs in Georgia

    MOGA replied to LPN2RN2B's topic in Georgia

    I did go there, but I didn't go through the bridge program because I wasn't an LPN before. There isn't a waitlist that I know of, per se, because you are admitted based on GPA. How ever many they are accepting while be chosen by the highest GPAs. The...

12. New grad nurse training

    MOGA replied to eflr's topic in Georgia

    I believe Emory has a good new grad program...competitive, but good. Another good one I have heard of is Northside. If your last semester of your program is anything like mine, you will get more confident. You'll learn a lot and get a lot more indepe...

13. New grad need help in deciding where to start career!

    MOGA replied to oolilxminnieoo's topic in New Nurse

    Congrats on getting not one, but two offers! Are they both in the same unit, such as both in med-surg, or are they different units? If they are different units, which one do you feel more passionate about? If they are the same unit, what is the acuit...

14. Persistent Nurse Recruiters?

    MOGA replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mind persistent...it just seems like there comes a point when it becomes excessive. It turned me off to the facility.

15. Persistent Nurse Recruiters?

    MOGA replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I had a recruiter call me constantly, back-to-back, 4 or 5 times. I mean call, let it ring, hang up, call back. I had class all day, and was on my lunch break. We were in a noisely locale, so I decided against answering and looking potentially unprof...
