  1. Im sorry, but light stomachs please do not read!

    mtnmom replied to onconurseRT's topic in General Nursing

    I can't add much in advice to what others have posted here but it sounds like this kid is one sick individual - who knows what he might try for his next amusement? Yes, insist upon testing - any and...

  2. call to action...prescriptive authority

    mtnmom posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    As you may or may not know Georgia is the ONLY state in the union without any type of prescriptive authority for nurses. Numerous times the issue has been before the legislature and always it is...

  3. Is it true?!?! Say it aint so...

    mtnmom replied to lovingpecola's topic in Post Graduate Students

    in my BSN health assessment course we and our partner did breast exams on each other as a part of the regular physical exam. Anyone who felt really uncomfortable with it was allowed to opt out (as of...

    mtnmom posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Hello, I am in my second week of my new dialysis job and really enjoy the work but am having a tough time learning the machine. The nurse that I have been paired with to train is not the most...

  5. Case study: what went wrong?

    mtnmom replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above posters. did the physician chart anything in the progress notes about discussing the prognosis? if so, with whom? Perhaps it would not be a bad idea to go ahead and alert social...

  6. Classes started yesterday......

    mtnmom replied to CardioTrans's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I found that in advanced pharm there was a lot more emphasis on case study scenarios, interactions, etc....to make us apply the knowledge and think critically. I recall my first pharm to be a lot more...

    mtnmom posted a topic in General Nursing

  8. call to action...prescriptive authority

    mtnmom replied to mtnmom's topic in Georgia Nursing

    house Bill 935 has made it out of committee. a huge victory but there is still work to be done. I do not have time right now to research all the details as to when it might be brought up for a vote,...

  9. encouragement needed

    mtnmom replied to mtnmom's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    thank you all for the support. Overall it has been a horrible experience in many ways, not the least of which is financially (it takes a few weeks to get any nursing job, with the background checks,...

    mtnmom posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

  11. Classes started yesterday......

    mtnmom replied to CardioTrans's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am finding theory this semester to be much more difficult than patho and pharm. not to say that they weren't

  12. Appalachian Trail/hospice/home health or hospital

    mtnmom replied to renerian's topic in General Nursing

    how close do you want to be? Springer Mountain is the southern terminus of the trail and can be reached from Amicalola falls state park, in Dawson County between Jasper and Dawsonville. Dawsonville is...

  13. I think I'm in big trouble

    mtnmom replied to not now's topic in General Nursing

  18. Concerns about orientation...

    mtnmom replied to flashpoint's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree with Suzanne. Changing charting??? Inexcusable, illegal...and makes you wonder what else this person is capable of doing. "you write too much"....is that compared to her who writes (or does)...

  19. surviving theory class

    mtnmom posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    OK gang, I am in semester #3 of my PT program. Did great in Patho and Pharm. This semester's menu item is theory. Our instructor is all over the place...very vague and we know what our assignments are...

  20. Doctorate for Advanced Practice Nursing??

    mtnmom replied to bookwormom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    "There are also regulatory issues. NPs do not have equal practice privileges in all states and CNSs do not even have title privileges in all states. No matter how many degrees I get as a CNS, as far...

  21. surviving theory class

    mtnmom replied to mtnmom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I dont think that I was asking for help as much as just venting in general. So much of what we are doing is group work and group dynamics, group communication, etc - (I thought it was a theory class!)...

    mtnmom replied to crb613's topic in Georgia Nursing

  24. Anyone from Savannah I need directions

    mtnmom replied to crb613's topic in Georgia Nursing

  25. is this typical ??? (long)

    mtnmom replied to mtnmom's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    OK, I have taken the big step and filed a complaint with the BON against the 2 LPN's in the clinic who were the most unprofessional. I hope it was the right thing to do - at least maybe something will...
