    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    My internet has been down for a day, so I didn't know about Terralyn's message. But she was right about the BSN letters! I got mine yesterday!! CHECK YOUR MAILBOXES!!! My letter had some...

    nicubee posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I have been an early intervention OT for 14 years. I have worked in the NICU for the last 2 of those years, my dream setting. Now that I am in the NICU, I plan on working in this setting until I...

  3. Macon State BSN Fall 2011

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Well, we made it to April. My semester is winding down-- no more big challenges until finals week. Hope everyone is getting through this semester OK. I'm thinking we could hear any time now,...

  4. Macon State BSN Fall 2011

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Your back-up plan (the having a baby part) sounds great, Terralyn. That would be a real diversion-- trust me on that!! The lack of activity on this thread in the past few days probably attests to...

  5. Macon State BSN Fall 2011

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I think MSC's process a little harder than some schools because the GPA and TEAS are very impersonal and data-based, and the MSC application is basically name and address only. The selection...

  6. Macon State BSN Fall 2011

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm not sure it was a conscious decision to go back to school, more that the idea sort of evolved since I've been working in the NICU the past 2 1/2 yrs. I have enjoyed every pediatric OT job I...

  7. Macon State BSN Fall 2011

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Terralynn, I did go to OT school. I was originally going to go to CSU Fort Collins, but we ended up moving back to CA when my youngest began kindergarten, so I attended LLU. I have been a pediatric...

  8. Macon State BSN Fall 2011

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks for your votes of confidence regarding my old science courses... The reason I took them so long ago is that I got a degree in another allied health field. I have been working in my field since...

  9. Macon State BSN Fall 2011

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    It sounds like we could hear back on acceptance anytime from next week on, from the varied responses some of you got... I bet it won't be til mid April sometime, though, based on previous threads......

  10. Macon State BSN Fall 2011

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm glad to get a post started with MSC hopefuls (and current students). Calhoun220, your registration advice has been so helpful. THANKS! Sharye, I currently work with a few recent grads from the...

  11. Macon State BSN Fall 2011

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    calhoun220, thank you so much for your response. After re-reading your info, I thought you probably were in the RN-BSN program since you can't get a pre-licensure BSN online. I'm glad to hear I can...

  12. Is nursing your second career?

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Nursing Career

    jjjoy, in my area of specialization (pediatrics-NICU), OT focuses primarily on developmental skills: infant neurobehavioral and neuromotor function, the development of po feeding skills, and family...

  13. Group projects

    nicubee posted a topic in General Students

    Just a quick question: Are there many group projects in NS? I have applied for a BSN program but was wondering about the typical assignment format. In my first degree program, nearly all my...

  14. Is nursing your second career?

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Nursing Career

    You are all helping so much-- thanks everyone for your responses. I think there are lots of 2nd career people hoping to confirm that the nursing field will be all that they anticipate and worth the...

  15. Is nursing your second career?

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks to both of you for your input! RNvampire: Was it hard to give up the EE pay? My brother-in-law finished his BSEE, then went immediately back for a BSN and MSN (nurse anesthetist). He loves...

  16. Any therapists turned RN out there???

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Nursing Career

    To update, I've now read posts on teachers, MBA graduates, liberal arts majors and even lawyers-turned-nurses. It makes me wonder if there are any doctors-turned-nurses... The lawyer-turned-nurse...

  17. Macon State BSN Fall 2011

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks-- great information. I did not know that only 20 BSN students were admitted. My understanding was that the program begins in fall and I did not know that the assessment class could be taken...

  18. How does your unit support BF?

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thanks to both of you. Our lactation team is very frustrated by our unit's lack of emphasis in this area. I live in the south, where BF levels are significantly below national averages. It seems...

  19. How does your unit support BF?

    nicubee posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Because we are establishing cue-based feeding and trying to justify the need for a nicu-dedicated LC, could you please help provide a general idea of what your facility is doing by answering: 1. Is...

  20. OT/PT/ST in the NICU

    nicubee posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I was wondering how many of you work in NICUs with OT/PT/ST on board? Our 56 bed NICU has an OT and ST present on the unit daily. A few years back, rehab had 3-6 infants on the caseload at a time....

  21. OT and RN?

    nicubee posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I have been a pediatric OT for 14 years. I have worked in the NICU for 2 years, and it is my dream job. But since I've been in this unit, I have determined that the most optimal handler for these...
