1. Should i switch ICUs??

   Marasca replied to Go-GetterRN's topic in SRNA

   Almost every bad decision I made in my life followed this pattern. -Ask for advice from people I trust. -Be surprised when the responses don't validate my own preference. -Go with my first inclination anyway. -Get shocked when the expert opinion tur...

   Marasca replied to melodious82's topic in Georgia

   I am sooo glad we didn't have to wait until July or August to hear. I think I would have died before then. I'm assuming you will be in orientation with me on Aug 12th. I can't wait to meet you in person!

3. Kennesaw State Fall 2013 Applicants

   Marasca replied to melodious82's topic in Georgia

   In case anyone else has that problem - I ended up having to look for LaurenCedor on FB and found the group on her page. I have no idea why it wouldn't show in a search... I feel a little behind since I was accepted later - does anyone have a heads-up...

   I did a search for that group on FB and wasn't able to find it. Anyone else have that problem?

5. getting sick from microbiology

   Marasca replied to mbkgen's topic in General Students

   While I agree with everyone that you won't get sick in your micro class, I think you may need to reconsider this as a vocation. I currently work in a Micro lab handling BSL 2 organisms - this is as safe as you will find in this industry. My observati...

6. Student Body Odor

   Marasca replied to hsnurse1's topic in School

   I would like to point out that some boys just stink! I have a perfectly healthy nephew who produces an astonishingly bad odor. No rural / farm influence involved. An hour after he showers you will hesitate to hug him. Poor guy. I'm not sure there's a...

7. If you are an advocate for natural birth/homebirth with CNM

   Marasca replied to hardworkinmama's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Lamazeteacher may work in an area where those choices are readily available and presented to expectant mothers. That is not the case everywhere. In my state CNMs don't attend homebirths and lay midwives do not have the ability to get a license. When...

   Marasca replied to melodious82's topic in Georgia

   Creigel - I didn't feel comfortable commenting before, since I'm clearly hoping to land a spot, somehow. Now that you made a decision I thought I would tell you that I got my original BS at CSU back when I lived on the south side of town. They have ...

   Paula - I think your mailman is a sadist. :) I'm glad you finally got your letter. I feel your pain on this one. I keep telling myself that 'Maybe' is waaay better than an outright 'No'. Congratulations everyone!

    Marasca replied to melodious82's topic in Georgia

    Standby. The waiting just Does. Not. End! If I get in, I'll probably be as crazy pants as my cat pic. Paula - you could also be on standby. I didn't get any emails. If anyone on here chooses the Accelerated program at GSU instead, I'd really, really...

    The first time I read this I laughed. Now I'm starting to think it's true.

12. doctor's office accessing of scripts

    Marasca replied to morte's topic in HIPAA

    I am not a nurse yet, so I can only comment as a US citizen. There is nothing wrong with a doctor having access to a complete medical history. There is also nothing wrong with allowing a competent adult to make the decision regarding the release of ...

13. I'm really struggling here with a tough decision, please help!

    Marasca replied to tabz4u2's topic in General Students

    Is it possible to take an incomplete? I did that once when I had a health problem that I couldn't catch-up from. This was not nursing school, mind you, but if you had proper documentation you could petition to complete the course the next semester. I...

14. One step closer...

    Marasca replied to MeganLMillman's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I agree. Khan Academy will be great for your kids, too. It has everything from elementary grade level math to college coursework, videos of the concepts, and interactive practice questions until you master the skill. I highly recommend it!

15. What am I doing wrong! I just want to cry

    Marasca replied to mwilso2318's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I know how tough it can be. Put in the work to understand the material. All the note cards in the world can't help you if you don't understand what you're studying. If you run out of time to make the flashcards, sometimes you get lucky and find that ...
