Hello nurses! Quick question: I was taught in nursing school that the left forearm is the standard for PPD, although you may administer in right forearm if for some reason you can't use left for some reason. Is this true? I'm asking because I said th...
Oh, ok. Gotcha. Just wondering. I've Googled a few things, and it seems to be more of a facility policy thing than anything. Thanks for you guys quick responses! :)
Well, from my understanding.... If the left arm is the standard, in the event an individual didn't circle it (like our protocol is at the hospital), then you would automatically check the left forearm, because that is the "standard"...
Good evening my fellow students and nurses! Well, next week is supposed to be my graduation date - May 9th. But, I need an 86 to pass with a C. I don't know what has been the problem this semester. When I go to review my test, my professor said that...

Thanks guys! Well, I took the final, and got an 81!! ...so close... At least I get to come back in the fall. Very blessed to have so many fellow students, nurses, and faculty that are rooting for me. Excited for what's to come... Still hopeful that I...

:) @ GrnTea. I like the comment, "Why don't you like that?" Hehe!As a new nursing student myself, I find posts on this site extremely helpful...and amusing! :)
I just got my acceptance letter a couple of days ago! I remember thinking, "It's ok if you don't get in. It's ok!" ....and what do you know...I got in!! I jumped up and down and cried so hard it was probably frightening to those who saw me. LOL

Yep, that's exactly what I mean. It says that on our letters that we get after we turn in our RSVP form. If our grades drop below a C, then we basically get the axe!! I know a lot of people are on the borderline right now in some of their classes, so...

Yea, they are waiting for those of us who don't make the grades this semester, or who decides to decline their seat. I think you have a pretty good shot of making it on in, though. Keep the faith!!

That sounds like how my A&P I professor was. For our lab tests, she would put bones of the skeleton on the lab benches, or muscles, or anything, and we had to tell what that bone/muscle was, the different bony processes, what it was connected to...

Yea, I believe we're going to have to wait until the 30th too. I actually went to the NAHS building today, and the lady who is responsible for mailing out the letters, L.B., wasn't even there and hasn't gave anyone any notification of when they actua...

Some of these threads on here make me so nervous and scared. Although nursing school is hard, I know it's not impossible because people have did it...are doing it.... I just hope that if I'm blessed to get in, I can be one of those who can say I've a...

Ok.... does anyone have any solid information? LOL! I know we're going to run ourselves crazy talking about what we've "heard"... Anyone have a reputable source they've gotten their information from, like a nursing adviser?
gReeNTwin1 replied to MedicalMinded's topic in Georgia
Yes, I saw that too, joy, on old gordon college threads.... I don't know what's going on with them this time around though. Today is the 11th!! Let's see what happens this weekend!

I personally did not take that comment literally shawbowen628, and this is coming from an "older" student too. Everyone means well on this thread, kimsey whether one is going into the LPN bridge program, ASN/RN, or just touching down because they're...
