    Georgia Highlands Spring 2012

    SuperStarRN replied to Inkynurse's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Don't give up Kellie Marie! GHC is not the only school out there. Apply to other schools, retake any classes that are bringing your worksheet score down and if all else fails apply to GHC again. Don't...

    The diabetics are the ones that just really tear my nerves apart. I finally got to the point with one of my patients (and keep in mind we have a very straight forward and to-the-point relationship) of...

    If anyone out there is applying to the hybrid bridge program I was told yesterday that letters for that one go out the first or second week of December. As for the standard Spring program I am not...

    SuperStarRN replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I totally 100% agree with this. It has nothing to do with your report. You should pay close attention to your co-workers because I know from personal experience that the main ones that laugh and talk...

    If you feel like something is not right then go with your gut, talk to your prescribing doc about it, get a second opinion. I am concerned that some of the responses here are sending the wrong...

    I agree that you should have her be present one morning when you are giving report so that she can see for herself and not write you up for something someone told her. If she wants to fire you she...

    Can an ADN nurse move into supervisory positions with only 4 years experience?

    SuperStarRN replied to NenaRK's topic in General Nursing

    I am sincerely appalled at this situation! How dare she! She must have felt very comfortable with you to insult you while at the same time asking you for a job. The problem is that nursing is filled...

    Why do docs do this?
