   obicurn replied to obicurn's topic in Georgia

   My family members seem to really like the South Douglas school system. Of course, we take an active role at home in the kids' education as well, so I'm not overly concerned about what they will be missing at school, if anything. If not done ER before...

   obicurn replied to independentRN916's topic in Georgia

   Any tips on getting into L&D at Cobb or Douglas? I have a little over 1 year of Med-Surg/PCU. Recently hired into L&D in the midwest, and I want to get a little experience here before I relocate. I have no desire to go back to a Med-Surg envi...

5. OB... L&D.... what's the difference???

   obicurn replied to Sl1011's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Where I live, we have a hospital that places job postings on the company website and it lists L&D as just that, and Obstetrics refers to their Postpartum unit. I don't know why they don't just call it PP. Confusing.

    obicurn replied to Ginger80's topic in Career Support

    I would have to agree with your husband. Take the full time position. Maybe you can pick up shifts at the other place on weekends or something?

    obicurn replied to JJKT1018's topic in New Nurse

    Quite a few of my classmates, including myself, recently got jobs with Clarian Health in Indianapolis. Good starting pay, fairly low cost of living here. If you can handle snow and corn, it's a decent place to be.
