   I moved to Atlanta from Florida after I graduated. I took the Florida boards in Georgia and then applied for endorsement. I received endorsement in 2 weeks, with no problems. Goodluck!

2. Unsafe ratios

   RodeoLP posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have the opportunity to work on a tele unit at a teaching hospital. I was very excited until I asked the NM about the nurse to patient ratio. She said that it is anywhere between 1:5 to 1:8. I'm thinking anything over 1:6 has to be unsafe. I really...

3. 36 vs 40 hrs?

   RodeoLP posted a topic in General Nursing

   I recently applied for a job that was posted as 7a - 7p 40 hours per week. If you're working three days a week at 12 hours each shift, does that mean that you would have to do an extra 4 hours per week? I don't have a clue on this one.

   RodeoLP replied to rabbit65's topic in NCLEX

   Please don't be discouraged. I took it in august, and it stopped at 265. I felt EXACTLY the way you do now. I was, nervous and couldn't sleep until I saw my License info on the BON website. So hang in there and keep the faith.

8. Best shift to work with teens at home

   RodeoLP posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi all, I have a dilemma. I am a new nurse trying to decide what shift to work with an 11 year old and a 15 year old at home. For 7a-7p I would have to leave the house at 6:15a. The boys wake up at 7a to be at the bus stop at 7:45. I don't trust them...

10. 1st year (or other) students--how do you feel about your nursing program so far?

    RodeoLP replied to dianacs's topic in General Students

    I am upon the end of my first semester and I can't complain. I have had pretty nice teachers and I feel the program is set up to ease us into Nursing, not just throw us into the fire and let the best women/men win. There are some instructors however,...

11. Weight management on pm shift

    RodeoLP posted a topic in General Nursing

    For those of you who work nights, how do you maintain your weight? Seems to me that you would gain weight if you're eating dinner, in the mornings and then going home after work and going to bed. I'm only a student nurse now, but I want to work night...

    We will be using that one also. I skimmed through it and the writing is very small and it doesn't look user friendly. I plan on doing some reading before classes start and I'll let you know.
