Atlanta Kellie

Well, you guys have helped me though some tough times. My first care plan. Passing the drug calculations test......I now need help again. Tomorrow I have an nurse extern interview at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, GA. Did I say interview? ...

Thanks Indy. Math is always something I worry about. I passed the first drug calc test, but I stressed over it. This second one really has me worried with all the new stuff. I have a math tutor that I'm going to use this summer to help me figure ...

All is well....the interview really wasn't bad. Go figure. Thanks to all of you for taking the time to write, and help me calm down. They asked... 1. Why did I chose nuring... 2. What area of nursing am I most/least interested and why.... 3. W...

The school uses St. Mary's hospital, Athens Regional, North East Georgia Hospital and the Lanier campus hospital. (The Gwinnett group goes to the last two). They also have a contract with Gwinnett Hospital, but we have yet to do clinicals there. Of...

I am currently in the ATC RN program. I am nearing the end of my junior year. So far its been great. Yes, the instructors are very supportive and rooting for you the whole way. Most are very patient, and you get a lot of clinical/hands on time. ...

You can check with the hosptials your interested in to see if they have nurse extern positions. I will start at Grady Hospital in Atlanta this summer as a nurse extern. I can continue there until I graduate and then take a position there as a RN in...

You mentioned that it was just like your interview for the nurse extership. I have an interview for a nurse externship that will be in front of a "panel". Can you tell me what your nurse extern interview was like? What should or could I expect to ...

Dr."P" used to have a comprehensive final, but this past term he did not. I think it's like that just for Med Micro. I know the A&Ps still do. We haven't lost anyone so far out the GTC campus, but I believe the ATC campus lost 2. I know three ...

I had Dr.Pyle for Med Micro. I started out at Gwinnett, then transferred to Athens tech. At ATC I took both A&P's, math, and med micro. Dr. ****** is a really hard teacher, but he's very good. You will be studying a lot. From what I underst...

**Where are we going and why are we in this hand basket?**

Our first class was okay. I got a B, which was a bit disappointing, but I'll live :) You don't recieve a grade for any clinicals, math or labs. That is all pass or fail thing. Your letter grade for the class is based on your test grades only. We...

Hi Kelly, I really don't know what your chances are...I had two friends that didn't make it last year. They had 71 and 73 on the NLN, and the GPAs were 3.0 and 3.2. Neither made the alternate list. (They both re-applied for 2006) I think it's good...

Pt. with R/O TIA....complaint of HA and dizziness...what would you consider as some nursing diagnoses?

Thanks for all your help. I had my presentation today and it went fine. I went with activy intolerance, risk for fall/injury, and anxiety r/t knowledge deficit. I really appreciate all your help and looking up all your suggestions actually taught ...

Thanks so much for replying! She has no problems with communication. Can care for herself, walk, etc. She had orders for bed bath only, but took care of her needs just fine. Feeds herself. Other than her complaint of HA, dizziness, general weakn...

oh yeah, I did consider altered thought process or risk for altered thought process, but she seemed very oriented and was not at all confused. Should I still list it, or list it as a risk? HELP ME!!!! I feel thee panic growing everytime I sit dow...

Thanks Katie. I had posted previously, but I had no responses and time is running out. I have to present my client tomorrow, and we had little time to work on it. I had thought maybe... 1) Impaired physical mobility as evidenced by dizziness and...

I think that's a great age to have started. Wish I would have waited.

First child 1983, I was 19 Second child 1985, I was 21 Third child 1987, I was 23 I have no regrets, but I feel it's better to wait. I would have liked to have finished school, lived some myself before bringing children into my world. My children a...

I just wore my first pair the other day for 8hrs. During that 8 hrs I sat down for about 20 min. No pain in my feet, or back from the hard hospital floors. Love them! (i wore the Metro style) I also love that you can dump them in a bucket of wate...

Hello all. I took care of my first client the other day :) Good stuff. Different in some ways than I thought it would be, just like I thought it would be in others. Anyway, my client was a 58 yr female admitted from the ER with a diagnosis of R/O...

Dear MD Slady Let me start out by telling you how very sorry I am. You must be going through quite a lot right now, and I hope you have a support group that is helping you with all the feelings you must be having. You asked that we "put ourselves in...

Had to pass with a %90 or better. I did it! Thank God. I was really worried about this test, but it wasn't too bad. I practiced a lot, and I used a math tutor to help me find easy ways of solving. I wanted to really understand it as this is so ...

Hello All.. this is my first post, and it's good to have found you all. Of course, right away I'm going to pick your brains. Math has never been a strong subject for me, and it's where I lack my confidence the most. I did get an A in algebra, but I s...

No problem...I'm sure the nursing instructor would know something about it. Ms. ***** aslo works with the RN program at Gwinnett, but she in the reserves and won't be back until early November. She is a great source of info. I would be surprised i...
