  1. Air Force Psychiatric RN

    Deargceann posted a topic in Government, Military

    Did not even realize this was a thing until I was browsing the local job boards? A little background about me. I have a MEd. in counseling and a BSN. I've been working in psych for almost 2 years now,...

  2. Feeling really discouraged

    Deargceann posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    So it's my first job out of nursing school and despite the fact that I like most of my co-workers, I really want out of my unit. I have had 2 separate instances with 2 separate preceptors who have...

  3. My Experience With The Four-Day Live Hurst Review For NCLEX

    Deargceann replied to TheCommuter's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also took the 3 day live review. While some concepts were explained so that I could understand them better, I don't feel that any of the reviews I took helped. Honestly, I think only 2 questions on...

  4. OR Pet peeves

    Deargceann replied to MsLeylaBar's topic in Operating Room

    A. I actually had a resident tell me the other day that he needed me to page someone but he didn't know their name or department. B. Surgeons who have their own nurse they like and there is nothing...

  5. Psych nursing...don't know if I can do this

    Deargceann replied to opossum's topic in Psychiatric

    May I ask why you are leaving the OR? I'm trying to get a summer internship there but have not been able to get an observation day there yet. I was able to watch a PEG insertion and that was one of...

  6. Psych Nurse ="not a REAL nurse"?

    Deargceann replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Psych nurses have to take the same exam and get paid the same amount as a floor nurse. I'm in nursing school and had my med/surg evaluation with my professor. She knows I want to be a psych nurse and...

  7. Psych nursing...don't know if I can do this

    Deargceann replied to opossum's topic in Psychiatric

    Right now I am just a student PCT on a psych unit 2 1/2 more semester to go), but I find that a smile and respect go a long way. I've been cussed out and threatened, but never actually swung

  8. Medical College of Georgia- BSN Summer 2010

    Deargceann replied to nurseynurse89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A & P right after high school (when ASU was still on the quarter system), played around and made a C & D respectively. I had to retake them and made B's for both courses. However, ASU...

  9. Medical College of Georgia- BSN Summer 2010

    Deargceann replied to nurseynurse89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's the funny thing, my GPA was lowered because quarter grades count for more than semester. I can only assume that they took that into consideration. Even though I haven't used my counseling...

  10. Medical College of Georgia- BSN Summer 2010

    Deargceann replied to nurseynurse89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine was lower than yours but they might have looked at it differently. Originally I had a C in A&P on the quarter system but when I retook them got B's on the semester system and lowered my GPA....

  11. Medical College of Georgia- BSN Summer 2010

    Deargceann replied to nurseynurse89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I honestly have no idea how they accept people. My GPA was a 3.6 I think and SAT was an 1130 and I had no community service as far as a hospital. They might have looked at my volunteering with a rape...

  12. Nurses with tattoos

    Deargceann posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm starting nursing school soon, and I am trying to figure out which specialty I might like. I am leaning towards psych, but I don't want to be pigeonholed. I have tattoos on my arms which will be...

  13. Nurses with tattoos

    Deargceann replied to Deargceann's topic in General Nursing

    I hear Hawaii is pretty lax about having

  14. Nurses with tattoos

    Deargceann replied to Deargceann's topic in General Nursing

    I never meant to imply that tattoos= hot, just that I'm pretty sure that when I'm 80 I'll be a lot more concerned about keeping track of my meds than whether I look good in a

  15. Nurses with tattoos

    Deargceann replied to Deargceann's topic in General Nursing

    I hate that whole "How are you going to look when you're 80?" comment. As far as I know, I've never seen any hot 80 year

  16. Nurses with tattoos

    Deargceann replied to Deargceann's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone. I pretty much figured L&D was out, I don't really want to be elbow deep with sleeves on. lol. I wasn't sure about OR since they are usually knocked out anyway. I'm used to people...

    Deargceann replied to nurseynurse89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you know if they are having another tour? I tried to look on the website, but could only find open houses for those interested in

  18. Medical College of Georgia- BSN Summer 2010

    Deargceann replied to nurseynurse89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was looking at the schedule for the summer. What a kooky semester. It seems like every day is a different time, with some of the classes even having conflicting schedules. Since I have experience...

    Deargceann replied to nurseynurse89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Called MCG today, they said that the only people that could possibly have their acceptances rescinded would be at the Athens campus. While I am relieved, my heart goes out to those in

  20. Medical College of Georgia- BSN Summer 2010

    Deargceann replied to nurseynurse89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anyone else freaking out about the news today about budget cuts at MCG. They are saying that some of the students who were accepted might not be allowed to start after all. It was on the local news...

  21. Medical College of Georgia- BSN Summer 2010

    Deargceann replied to nurseynurse89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just heard from a friend who is doing her clinical at MCG, and she said that this year they are only accepting 50 students instead of the usual 80. That might be a reason for the hold

    Deargceann replied to nurseynurse89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pretty much any apartment complex in North Augusta or Evans is good. The only one that I know that you need to avoid like the plague is Georgian Place on Wrightsboro Rd. My boyfriend used to live...

    I'm from the area, so if you find somethng you like online, but aren't sure about the neighborhood, I can probably

    Deargceann replied to nurseynurse89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know my friend said last year when she was accepted, they were still asking her if she was sure she wanted to turn down her acceptance as late as April or

  25. Medical College of Georgia- BSN Summer 2010

    Deargceann replied to nurseynurse89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the apartments are pretty reasonable around here. I know you can get converted houses in Old Town for less than $500, but I'm sure there are cheaper traditional apartments around. It seems...
