3. So I cannot find a job, thinking about relocating to Texas

   crr277 replied to lampost20's topic in Texas

   Try rural Texas. Get a year or so of experience under your belt and then you can move back to the big city. I couldn't find a job back home (I'm from GA), so I moved to rural TX for work. Best decision I ever made. I would stay away from the borde...

4. Denial of Georgia RN license by endorsement due to National Accreditation

   crr277 replied to VM204's topic in Georgia

   You can apply for federal jobs at usajobs.gov. Your job code is 0610 (RN). I got a civilian job with an RN Diploma at an army hospital. The process is sloooooow, but it's worth it! Do an advanced search with the job code and filter for the state ...

5. Loans, loans and more loans

   crr277 replied to Jennyfour's topic in General Nursing

   Don't freak out! You may be able to pay off this balance within 5-6 years, 10 years being the being the maximum because interest is going to eat you alive after that. I had that amount of debt after attending law school and nursing school. After my R...

   crr277 replied to RxOnly's topic in General Nursing

   100 miles one way. If traffic is good, it'll take two hours. If it's bad, it can take up to three hours. At least I'm able to sleep at the hospital for a couple of days so I just make the commute once a week. I was also a new grad. Now, I have t...

9. Those who relocated to Texas for job

   crr277 replied to Lovelymo79's topic in Texas

   I applied to a rural Tx hospital online because I was working as a tech with an RN license in NC. No full-time positions in NC, unfortunately. The hospital called me and offered to fly me out for an interview and put me up in a hotel room. Don't f...

10. Do I have any shot?

    crr277 replied to Getting Started's topic in North Carolina

    From what I understand, many nursing programs are more concerned with your science/pre-req classes than other classes. The programs that I applied to only calculated the gpa using science/pre-req classes. They didn't even look at my classes that di...

11. Help finding PCT school in Ga

    crr277 replied to 1harmonyb's topic in Georgia

    Kennesaw State offers a PCT course through their continuing education program. I believe it's one day a week. I think you have to be a CNA first. Isn't it similar to medical assistant? I think you could go to Columbus Tech for medical assistant.
