  1. Most disgusting thing you have witnessed or taken part of on the job?

    Venus Envy replied to Solid Snake's topic in General Nursing

    I had a pt who was mostly A&O, but had some periods of confusion. I was preparing her medications at bedside when I looked over to find her laying to one side and a large, dark stain in the bed....

  2. Georgia LPN Scope of Practice

    Venus Envy replied to Magnolia08's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    At my facility LPNs can do anything the RNs do, with few exceptions: We can do IV push meds. We can hang blood, so long as an RN checks it with us. We can NOT administer conscious sedation. We can NOT...

  3. Kaylim Career Center, anyone?

    Venus Envy posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    Does anyone have any information on Kaylim Career Center? I found their ad and their measley website, but I would love more info on their LPN to RN program and especially to hear from anyone who has...

  4. NOCS: How to darken a room?

    Venus Envy replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I am also trying to deal with the same issues as I make the transition from days to nights. One question, if anyone can help. How do you wake to an alarm while wearing

  5. Anybody hear of "Advanced Medical's" LPN program?

    Venus Envy replied to flower2007's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I would be wary of a school that offers an Associates degree in LPN, when normally you can get that for RN. I've never even heard of an ASN degree =

  6. Need some travel advice from black nurses

    Venus Envy replied to abbottcr's topic in Travel

    I am not a traveller, nor black, but I am a nursing student in Georgia. In my nursing class around 20 or so out of 30 of us are African or African-American, and we have never had any problems. There...

  7. North Metro grad's please

    Venus Envy replied to LadySugarBug's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Make sure you try on a uniform if you're buying it secondhand. When you go to the new class orientation they'll give everyone a size chart and order form. Follow the size chart to the letter for the...

  8. clinicals at North metro & atlanta tech

    Venus Envy replied to L&D's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm in my first nursing quarter at NMT, and we are going our clinicals at two nursing homes in Cartersville -- Starcrest, and Maple Ridge. There is a guy on this forum who is further into the...

  9. Causes of ?...........

    Venus Envy replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    Very good question! I have had chest pain for one year now, and all of the above have been ruled out. Let me know if you make any major

  10. DET pre entrance exam

    Venus Envy replied to janel's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Yeah. In Winter you'll need to take PCT 108 and Spanish. Which means in the Fall you'll need to take A&P, Intro to Healthcare and Med Term. It's a load, but it's do-able. I did those three...

  11. LPNs in Metro Atlanta hospitals

    Venus Envy posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    Does St. Joseph's hire LPNs? How about Emory? If so, would they be likely to hire a new grad LPN? Maybe a better question would be, are there any hospitals that do NOT hire LPNs?

  12. DET pre entrance exam

    Venus Envy replied to janel's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Oh, one more thing! Be very careful about choosing which classes you take and when. They tend not to tell people this, and since admission is only twice a year now, this is essential information!...

  13. DET pre entrance exam

    Venus Envy replied to janel's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks! I have heard before that you have to have a 3.5 to get an interview, and at least a 20 on the DET test. However, from what some of the instructors said, that is not a steadfast rule. I...

  14. DET pre entrance exam

    Venus Envy replied to janel's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I actually begin my first quarter of the PN program on April 5th. I just recently got accepted. :) In case you haven't heard, the competition is stiff and the process is highly selective, so you...

  15. DET pre entrance exam

    Venus Envy replied to janel's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I go to North Metro Tech in Acworth.

  16. DET pre entrance exam

    Venus Envy replied to janel's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I had the same problem, I'm not very good at math, so I was very worried about it. Make sure that if possible, you take math the quarter/semester before you take the DET, just so you cover...

  17. DET pre entrance exam

    Venus Envy replied to janel's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The DET is comprised of Math, English and Critical Thinking. The English section, however, includes graphs that are pretty math-heavy, which is unfair. I will answer any questions you have that I...

  18. LPNs in Metro Atlanta hospitals

    Venus Envy replied to Venus Envy's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Yeah, I tried looking up the job postings for St. Joseph's, but none specify between an RN or an LPN. They all only request "nurses" with a "nursing license".

  19. Quick Question -- Neurological test?

    Venus Envy posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can someone please tell me the name of the neurological test that is performed when a patient is asked to place their hands out in front of them and flip them over repeatedly as fast as they can?...

  20. Quick Question -- Neurological test?

    Venus Envy replied to Venus Envy's topic in General Nursing

    It was performed on me once, and our teacher was talking about it in class a few days ago. Basically, you put your hands out in front of you (in the air), and flip them from palms up to down...

  21. North Metro Tech

    Venus Envy replied to Mistify's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thank you once again for all of your help. You are the only person I have been able to speak with about NMT, so all of these questions you are so graciously answering help me out a lot. :) I will...

  22. North Metro Tech

    Venus Envy replied to Mistify's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks. :) My advisor mentioned during orientation that the LPN program "double-weighs" the English portion of the test. Is the score of 23 that you mentioned the original test score, or the score...

  23. North Metro Tech

    Venus Envy replied to Mistify's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The only other question I can think of right now is about the entrance test. What sort of material is on the test? When in relation to applying for the program should I take the test? Thanks so...

  24. North Metro Tech

    Venus Envy replied to Mistify's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I don't really have any of my pre-req's already finished. I attended college for a couple of semesters years ago, but happened to take courses that wouldn't transfer. I did take AP English in high...

  25. North Metro Tech

    Venus Envy replied to Mistify's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I will be attending NMT as of this July to complete my pre-reqs in hopes of entering the nursing program there. Does the program begin every Summer? I thought it started in Winter for some
