1. Employment Verification for Licensure b Endorsement

   LiberatedRN replied to onegoodnerve's topic in Georgia

   OMG, you read my mind with this posting! I am moving back to GA in the next several months and I don't know how I'm going to get around that employment verification form. My circumstance is a little different because I was originally licensed by endo...

2. plans to relocate to Atlanta in September

   LiberatedRN replied to dlyr750's topic in Georgia

   I lived in Atlanta for almost 8 years and I experience almost the opposite. The cost of living and wages in GA is lower, but my car insurance and registration went up a lot when I moved to Florida 3 years ago. Yes the pay is great in Florida, but for...

3. utep acnp 2012 applicants

   LiberatedRN replied to g3momma's topic in Post Graduate

   Actually sailornurse, you are incorrect. I am working towards the nurse clinician educator and I had to take the same three core courses you listed right along with the NP students. I can still be an NP in the future with these courses, I would just ...

4. utep acnp 2012 applicants

   LiberatedRN replied to g3momma's topic in Post Graduate

   The core courses were not that easy for me but I still do maintain a 4.0 after taking 18 credits. It's really a lot of research and APA format paper writing. If you have that down, you will be fine. Good luck!

5. Why do mean/crabby people become nurses??

   LiberatedRN replied to R!XTER's topic in Relations

   Some of this may be behavior that she has learned as a nurse due to some of her insecurities about her nursing care. I've run across many nurse bullies in my time and they only do it to those who welcome the bullish behavior...usually new nurses. S...

6. Msn education classes and working?

   LiberatedRN replied to nursingisok's topic in Educators

   I started my program at UTEP spring 2011 (nurse clinician educator) and was working full-time, taking 2 classes at a time. With a back injury I sustained last year, working full-time, and with school, I decided to take some time off. So I've been off...

   LiberatedRN replied to g3momma's topic in Post Graduate

   I am currently a student in UTEPs nurse clinical educator track and I am scheduled to graduate in May 2013. We have to take similar core courses with NP students also. What type of information are you looking for or what questions do you have?

8. Supervising a coworker with the same amount of experience

   LiberatedRN replied to luckynurse_1234's topic in Relations

   I agree with sofl98, you probably need to be a little more assertive as a charge nurse. I became charge after only being a nurse for 1 year and it can be a scary thing. But now, 13 years later (and after having supervisor experience), I look back kno...

9. Number of patients you care for?

   LiberatedRN replied to winter_green's topic in Relations

   I work in Cardiac Telemetry in South Florida. We get 1:5 or 1:6 on day shift and 1:6 or 1:7 max on nights. I work days and 1:5 on some days is way too much for heart failure patients with average age of 75!

10. Managing stress during shift

    LiberatedRN replied to charlie8025's topic in Stress 101

    I am in total agreement with this! Staffing is not our job and we should not be made to feel guilty about not working when we are over-stressed. I am currently on a leave of absence right now because I have a bulging disc at C3-C4. Just came out of t...

    LiberatedRN replied to TLD222's topic in Post Graduate

    I am interested in info on the program also at Benedictine. I am in the process of applying and getting all my requirements in. I am interested in the Nurse Educator track. I have spoken to someone in admissions there and she was EXTREMELY nice and f...

12. RN market in Valdosta & Savannah?

    LiberatedRN replied to DizzyLizard's topic in Georgia

    I currently work in the Atlanta are and I'm not sure about the areas you are thinking about moving to. I can attest to some other nurses who will tell you that GA nursing isn't as prosperous as some other states. There is an article (matter of fact...

    LiberatedRN replied to rgcirn's topic in Legal

    I am new to this site and decided to join (like everyone else) because I am interested in a career in Legal Nurse Consulting. I recieve info in the mail all the time from the Vickie Milazzo Institute. I was just wondering if anyone had any info on ...
