  1. More attractive grads have better chances of getting hired?

    I actually think that this is illegal. It is an undercover way of asking your race or your age.
  2. Unemployment & Nursing School

    Well, all I know is what I was told directly from the Georgia Dept. of Labor in Atlanta. Maybe Macon has its own rules. I wish you luck in moving on, but I wouldn't count on unemployment.
  3. Not making it in Massachusetts

    Don't come to GA. No decent jobs here either. Hospitals are closing down, buying one another. Unpaid care is just killing them.
  4. Nursing in Atlanta

    I thought this was the Georgia forum. What is this, then.
  5. Atlanta hiring new grads

    Well, "They promise you nothing back" isn't exactly true. They are giving you the opportunityh to learn and get experience. It takes a while for a new nurse to get up to speed. It just does.
  6. Unemployment & Nursing School

    Contact the GDOL. I believe that full time school is one thing they allow to exempt you from job search; however, right now the max is 27 weeks which will never last through a full nursing program.
  7. Georgia Regional Hospital of ATL

    Do nurses at Georgia Regional wear street clothes or can you wear colored scrubs?
  8. Emory Midtown or ATL RNs?

    Actually, these days you should feel fortunate that they offered you the position. It is not the time to haggle about a buck or two. Get in the door and show them what you can do. Trust me. There are not that many places hiring nurses today. Good...
  9. Advice for going into Pediatrics

    Has anyone here successfully transitioned from adult care (rehab) to pediatrics? What did it take? What types of companies were willing to train you? I am looking into it and would certainly appreciate any advice from seasoned peds nurses, particu...
  10. Georgia Regional Hospital of ATL

    I was contacted by their recruiter and all of your comments have been really helpful. Are any of you working there at present? What's it really like? Did Central State close already? Is Georgia Regional scheduled to close any time soon? Would li...
  11. Are there any hospitals that will pay for nursing school?

    The State of Georgia also has service-cancellable loans and all you have to do is work in GA at a facility that takes medicare and medicaid. Check out the Georgia Higher Education Assistance Agency.
  12. Getting overpaid. Should I tell payroll?

    Honesty, integrity, and ethics are a bedrock of the nursing profession. You must advise them. If you do not, it WILL come back to bite you later. My God would want me to be up front about it. Someone may have made an honest mistake and will be g...
  13. Is this a common requirement for being hired at a hospice?

    Advice well taken Enchantmentdis. I have not had to look for a job in many years. This is a new experience and everything has changed. I guess it's like going to court - "Just the facts, Ma'am".
  14. Is this a common requirement for being hired at a hospice?

    Thanks for the info.
  15. Is this a common requirement for being hired at a hospice?

    To HospiceNurseLPN: So sorry to learn of your loss. God bless you.
