    Angie O'Plasty replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats to both of you on the scholarships--you must be quite relieved to have almost half the tuition

  4. Direct Entry MSN program 2

    Angie O'Plasty replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Angie O'Plasty here. I will be starting the direct-entry ACNP program at MGH in the fall--getting pretty excited. I chose ACNP because it seemed like the best track for someone who is interested in...

  5. MGH accepted students...

    Angie O'Plasty replied to Angie O'Plasty's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey, does anyone know what uniforms, supplies etc. we'll need and where to get them? Or will they tell us all that at the open house in

    Angie O'Plasty replied to AussieJack's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, nice

  7. MGH accepted students...

    Angie O'Plasty replied to Angie O'Plasty's topic in Post Graduate Students

    "Skinny envelope of doom"--I like that! With this whole process, it got so that seeing anything in the mail from any of the schools would set off instant tachycardia. Especially those darn skinny...

  8. MGH accepted students...

    Angie O'Plasty replied to Angie O'Plasty's topic in Post Graduate Students

    C'mon MGH people, the rest of the letters are out now so don't try to hide!

  9. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    Angie O'Plasty replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    Glad to hear your stress has been defenestrated. (If you don't know what that means, look it

  10. What do patients say that irks you?

    Angie O'Plasty replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sounds like the situation I'll probably be finding myself in soon enough (starting direct-entry MSN program this fall)! I'm 22, pretty short, and look young--I've been on EMS calls where the patient...

  11. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Angie O'Plasty replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm not sure about the residency, although I've gotta believe MGH has some way for us to get experience like that. I'm sure we'll be able to work part-time once we're licensed. As for the commute, I...

  12. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Angie O'Plasty replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just got the letter from MGH today; the date on it was 2/14 and it was an early acceptance; the bulk of letters will go out in early March I believe. I think the reason I got it so quickly is...

  13. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Angie O'Plasty replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just got accepted to MGH as well--got the good news today, after getting rejected from both UMass and Yale in the past week. I'm looking forward to starting the program there this fall (Acute Care...

  14. Nervous:EP Studies

    Angie O'Plasty replied to ctunurse's topic in Cardiac

    i can understand you must be nervous--i would be too. actually, it's the av node that can get fried during the ablation, not usually the sa node. (the reentry pathway is often in or near the av...

  15. Charting Bloopers

    Angie O'Plasty replied to AHarri66's topic in Nursing Humor

    That is too funny! Especially for someone like me, who appreciates a good (or bad!)

    Angie O'Plasty replied to CardioTrans's topic in Cardiac

    Any new

  18. Change with scrub design...

    Angie O'Plasty replied to design_student's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: And cargo pockets sound like a good idea, preferably ones that actually have the velcro flaps to close so things don't fall out. Look at EMT pants and see how those pockets are, for some...

  19. Nursing Uniform Policy

    Angie O'Plasty replied to rustysflygirl's topic in General Nursing

    I can see why they would want to implement a uniform policy--I agree that there's a problem with people not being able to tell who is who. However, unless patients are oriented to the color code etc....

  20. "Just" a nurse? You can do so much better!

    Angie O'Plasty replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    That's pretty good! (I'd say attend to the v-tach first!!

  21. Future Roles of NP & PA - Question...

    Angie O'Plasty replied to cosmicstarr's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That sounds somewhat like my situation--I was all set to reapply after getting rejected (from eleven schools!!), and realized that it just "didn't sit right" when I thought about the idea of having a...

  22. Amiodarone Admistration Info for a Class

    Angie O'Plasty replied to KneenaM's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Thanks for the info! Looks like it is the iodine that is the culprit. I wonder what would happen if it were replaced with Cl or Br...would that make it better? I know there was a drug called...

  23. Future Roles of NP & PA - Question...

    Angie O'Plasty replied to cosmicstarr's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A lot of what's been said here reminds me of the thought process I have gone through. I applied for medical school this past year and did not get in, despite good grades, MCAT scores and clinical...

  24. Amiodarone Admistration Info for a Class

    Angie O'Plasty replied to KneenaM's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    On a related topic, does anyone know why long-term amio use often causes thyroid problems? Does it have to do with the iodine atoms in the amiodarone molecule (yes, I went and looked up the molecular...

  25. What are examples of Public Health issues nurses deal with?

    Angie O'Plasty replied to Animaniacs's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How about obesity and the things that contribute to it (crummy diet, lack of exercise etc.)? Perhaps childhood obesity, which is unfortunately on the
