1. Lunesta vs. Ambien

   fozzie replied to ER-RN2's topic in General Nursing

   My mother takes Lunesta and is loving it. Although, I'll have to ask her about that bad aftertaste. I've never heard of that side effect before, and I can't recall if they've mentioned it in those...

2. Any acceptances to Georgia Perimeter?

   fozzie replied to tiff82's topic in Georgia Nursing

   Teammom, please try not to let all the rumors get to you too much. Try and make the right decision for you, and not based on what you hear from other people, because there are plenty of folks who like...

3. Is Lasix dangerous??

   fozzie replied to AllyRN82's topic in General Nursing

   If it's not too stupid of a question, how does Lasix cause ototoxicity? I'm familiar with its other side effects but I've never heard of this one

4. Why are nursing instructors mean?

   fozzie replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Students

   I agree. It's always easier to blame someone else than to blame

5. Dissect a cat?!

   fozzie replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I thought I would be really grossed out by dissecting a cat, but it was the smell that got to me more than anything. I hate that formaldehyde

6. Evacuation of New Orleans hospital...(link to article inside)

   fozzie replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

   I keep reading reports that hospital staff are being attacked by armed looters! There was one article somewhere about a nurse who stepped outside her hospital just to get a breath of fresh air and was...

7. School Policy on Hair/Nails/Jewelry/Make-up?

   fozzie replied to Rosa2Little's topic in General Students

   I agree! Not only is it dangerous, it's also disrespectful to the patients, IMHO. Think of all the microbes that live under those things. I don't mean any offense to nurses with fake nails...I...

8. GPC Nursing Students

   fozzie replied to tiff82's topic in Georgia Nursing

   tiff, I think they're suppposed to send out the letters soon, like sometime in September (though I don't know an exact date). Good luck to you! :) I'm in the GPC program too, sheri! And we've...

9. Simple Spanish Phrases?

   fozzie replied to Fun2's topic in General Students

   Oh, okay. Well then, I guess I shouldn't worry too much. Thanks for addressing my concerns.

10. Failed because of the HESI? Huh?

    fozzie replied to jeepgirl's topic in General Nursing

    This HESI test...is it similar to the ERI test? Because I'm going to have to take a test from ERI at the end of every semester in order to actually pass each course, and I'm wondering if this is...

11. Simple Spanish Phrases?

    fozzie replied to Fun2's topic in General Students

    My college was going to offer a Medical Spanish course, but apparently there just weren't enough students signing up for it, so they had to drop it at the last minute. I was really sad about that....

12. Gwinnett Medical Center

    fozzie replied to diva_nurse's topic in Georgia Nursing

    That sounds nice, especially because I'm a bit nervous about clinicals (for me, this will probably be the most challenging part of nursing school). Starting out slow is probably a good thing. Maybe...

13. Murder/Suicide at St. Joseph's This Morning....Sad

    fozzie replied to CseMgr1's topic in Georgia Nursing

    That's just awful. I wonder, is there no way to prevent visitors from bringing deadly weapons into the hospital? Not that I'm trying to blame the hospital...St. Joseph's is a wonderful place and...

14. Gwinnett Medical Center

    fozzie replied to diva_nurse's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I've heard good things about them. Too bad it's a pretty long drive from my house... What about Joan Glancy? I don't know much about that hospital, but I really need to start thinking about where I'm...

15. oral presentations in nursing school-anxiety

    fozzie replied to brandyl123's topic in General Nursing

    Plus, this isn't like grade school speeches, which I thought were the worst. I absolutely hated those. I think it's much different in nursing school, where everyone's in the same boat, so the...
