well last week the lpn bon met and according to the prez that i spoke with, they voted to make some significant changes that would effect me directly - i could get my license in ga back by completing an on-line course and additional clinical hours instead of taking the whole program over. so i've been checking the website to see when the meeting notes would be published...so i called the secretary of state "call center" there is no direct line to bon staff or email. the notes need to be "approved" by the lpn bon, so i get that but it won't be done until their next meeting in february:argue::angryfire. ummmm, how about posting them on a secure server and everyone on the lpn bon take a look and yes or no them and then publish...could be done in a week or two at the most.
communication with the lpn bon is non-existent. no direct line to their staff, no email address to send questions to - nada. everything must go through the secretary of state call center and these people haven't a clue about nursing issues.
it could be months and months before any change that they voted on last week will take effect. that means again that i'm screwed - i'm running out of ui benefits and i can't seem to get a job doing anything else. no one wants to hire a 59 year old woman in my area.
i compare this board to the others i've communicated with during the last few months and the difference is night and day, you actually get to talk with a staff person, they answer your questions and off you go but nooooooooo not ga - they are in the dark ages, none of the staff has an email address nor do the bon members the method of communication with them is so convoluted it's ridiculous.
my years away from nursing and working in the private sector as an admin/tech writer/web design has made me very frustrated with their lack of organization, lack of communication, lack of basic computer skills that are available with other bon's. if they were private sector they'd all have been fired for inability to communicate and provide and produce a product in a timely fashion.
ga is always complaining about people stereotyping that they are backwards ignorant rednecks...well based on the lpn bon it's well deserved - i feel like i'm trying to use a paper cup with string to attempt communication with these people.:angryfire aahhhgggg see me running tearing my hair out. they are the most worthless organization i've ever dealt with.
:angryfire. ummmm, how about posting them on a secure server and everyone on the lpn bon take a look and yes or no them and then publish...could be done in a week or two at the most.
