   I enjoy working for Wellstar. The hospital is going for Magnet and is a great place to work.

2. awesome nurse pt ratios

   I_love_my_job replied to sassy_cassie's topic in General Nursing

   Sounds like great ratios to me! If we had 12 patients on our medical tele floor then we'd have 3 licensed nurses, 1 CNA, 1 secretary. We are the largest floor as well, only 98-bed hospital. The house super has started a few IVs and that's about it. N...

   I_love_my_job replied to ms_sgr's topic in Georgia

   There will be many times you will work in a group. The Prof Concept class is interesting and not stressful. In fact, I made many friends through nursing school and participated in small study groups that were very beneficial to passing tests. Each pe...

   I_love_my_job replied to ms_sgr's topic in Georgia

   WONDERFUL! I graduated in 2008, passed the NCLEX as did 97% of the class. They have a very high pass rate for NCLEX and prepare you well to be a successful RN. The program accepts 60 students in Carrollton and 60 in Newnan once per year with courses ...

   I_love_my_job replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in New Nurse

   Thank you all for taking the time to post. This is encouraging to me as well. I have similar challenges at work and I'm trying to work smart so I won't get burned out. For instance, I take a lunch and try to take at least one other break. In the past...

7. Advice on changing floors

   I_love_my_job replied to KalipsoRed's topic in New Nurse

   I started on my floor Nov 08 and feel at times the same way. I'm on medical telemetry with 7-8 patients. I feel overwhelmed mostly if my patient mix is heavy or if my partner is not helpful. I have had talks with my NM and found that my floor is not ...

8. What is the deal with Wellstar Hospital?

   I_love_my_job replied to Hope2Be's topic in Georgia

   I was thinking the same thing. It's hard for some universities to get contracts with Wellstar because Kennesaw has first pick.

9. What is the deal with Wellstar Hospital?

   I_love_my_job replied to Hope2Be's topic in Georgia

   I have heard some have interviews set up prior to graduation, but I have spoken directly with HR and was told numerous times I cannot apply for an RN position if I don't have a license! (This was last year at this time). This is not my excuse. I was ...

    I_love_my_job posted a topic in New Nurse

    I have been reading these threads regarding staying late, etc and this is a problem for me and feel my manager will be ready to write me up soon. I work on a medical tele floor, had 10 weeks orientation which ended Nov 7. I take care of 6-7 patients...

    I'm new to nursing, five months, and feel some anxiety about going to work. It starts the day before where I have noticed I get a little irritable around my family, feel stressed that I need to get my sleep and then only sleeping 6 hours. Sometimes I...

    I_love_my_job replied to SiennaGreen's topic in New Nurse

    I work weekend option day shift as a new grad. First I started precepting during the week (my preceptor's schedule). When I was ready to go on my own I began working every Sat and Sun. I can also pick up an extra weekday shift if I want to. Also, I h...

13. Need help getting organized

    I_love_my_job replied to NurseHarmony's topic in New Nurse

    I hear you! I'm experiencing the same situation. I did get an extra six shifts to work on "time management". That is bologne, really!! I mean we can't be expected to be fast as the experienced nurses. How is that possible? Even my preceptor and resou...

14. 1st week down

    I_love_my_job replied to futurenicunurse2008's topic in New Nurse

    Congratulations on your new position. It seems like you will have a caring work environment. How long is your new grad transition? In the ICU do they give you 6 months of classroom support and preceptor training?

15. New grad needs advice

    I_love_my_job replied to Neaner22's topic in New Nurse

    You are right to do a thorough assessment. Pt's condition can change dramatically over a shift. It has happened to me already and I have been on my own for only a month. I had a patient whose BP was okay and then a few hours later dropped a lot. I ca...
