  1. Good Operating Rooms, West and Southeast!

    summerbp replied to Windyhill's topic in Travel

    I can't speak as a traveller or an OR nurse, but I worked for 2 years on a surgical trauma unit at Northeast Georgia Health System. It's a great employer, excellent physicians, and I really miss

  2. New Grads, How much do you work?

    summerbp replied to babsy28's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm a new RN working on an acute med/surg floor. I work as much as I possibly could and then some, if I want. Right now I'm still in orientation, but I've worked 100+ hours the last two weeks. I also...

  3. NCLEX-RN May 28

    summerbp posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just got home from sitting for my RN-NCLEX! My test shut off at 75 questions and I got the good pop-up! Feeling very relieved. I've been lurking here every hour, seems like, for the past 2 weeks...

  4. NCLEX-RN May 28

    summerbp replied to summerbp's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks! I studied for two weeks, using Saunders Q&A, the 2012-2013 Kaplan Strategies, Practice, and Review, LaCharity's Priority, Delegation, and Assessment, and I also bought the 3-week access to...

  5. Please help me prioritize my nursing diagnosis

    summerbp replied to lucasrr123's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  6. Shock Priority: Oxygen or IV ?

    summerbp replied to souleater11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  8. NCLEX study guides

    summerbp replied to amanduh55's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Those are all good, but you may find it more detrimental to do NCLEX questions after only one semester. Your body of knowledge will be lacking, so you won't be able to fully answer the questions in...

  9. NCLEX-RN in less than 2 weeks...

    summerbp replied to NurseNightOwl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I graduated on the 12th and registered for the NCLEX on the 28th, so it's now 12 days away. I have also heard the fresher you are from school, the better. I know that I personally have a hard time...

  10. Vital Sign Skills Test

    summerbp replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    We were taught to estimate the systolic first by feeling the radial pulse as the cuff inflates. When the pulse disappears, that's your estimation for systolic. It's usually right on the

  11. Registration for Fall ASN through NGCSU at Lanier Tech

    summerbp replied to gatechgirl's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The only dress code I know of is NGC's official dress code, which of course is pretty normal. I was thinking nice-casual, just for meeting professors, etc. Make a good, semi-professional impression....

  12. Registration for Fall ASN through NGCSU at Lanier Tech

    summerbp replied to gatechgirl's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I haven't either. I've gone back and forth worrying about it, but I guess we'll find out anything on

  13. Registration for Fall ASN through NGCSU at Lanier Tech

    summerbp replied to gatechgirl's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The information was part of the initial acceptance packet from back in March (or whenever you got it.) Orientation IS on August 11th, this Thursday, from 9:00am--4:00pm and it's at the main campus in...

  14. What color is your uniform?

    summerbp replied to MILOBRI's topic in General Students

    We're all white as well, and we also have the horribly ugly and uncomfortable collared zip-up tops. Patch on left shoulder along with blue and gold (school colors) stripes on the sleeves. Lab coats...

  15. Registration for Fall ASN through NGCSU at Lanier Tech

    summerbp replied to gatechgirl's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi there, I'm attending NGCSU through Gainesville State, and I'm in the same boat as you! All I'm going from is the letter. I thought I'd read somewhere to expect emails over the summer, but I...
