   Question 1: Do you feel a need for Lactation Consultants in the GTA? Question 2: Would an RN with one year of experience (New grad program in peds/NICU) and also having a newly acquired Lactation Consultant certification be desirable/hirable for a pa...

5. Help! I'm pretty much a new grad (4 months exp) and hired in a urgent care clinic!

   natsirt21 replied to natsirt21's topic in Emergency

   Thank you for the reply. I respect your comment and that's why I asked, but I'm curious if you would feel the same way if the urgent care clinic was less acute and my assessment skills were pretty solid? Thanks, Tristan

   natsirt21 replied to natsirt21's topic in Emergency

   That's what I was thinking....busy med/surg units = lots of experience. Your input is super helpful. One more question though...how would an urgent care clinic look on a resume? Its still a tricky decision because I don't have the Grady job yet an...

   Hello everyone. This is a long one, but I'd love the advise. I'm in a complex situation where a community urgent care clinic wants to hire me but I'm worried that I won't get the experience I need and I may not be experienced enough for their demands...

    natsirt21 replied to Beebop25's topic in International

    Hi, I'm Canadian and I believe that if someone is passionately against abortions then they should chose an area of nursing where they wouldn't be faced with participating in them. We as nurses are faced with many ethical dilemmas...if you are in a p...

    natsirt21 replied to rollie's topic in Georgia

    Its far from ideal, but I've been out of work for 10 months and I need a job....any RN job...that will give me experience. Any ideas? And what do you mean by be careful? Thanks

    natsirt21 replied to rollie's topic in Georgia

    I have no idea about the pay, but I applied for a job at Atlanta Med Center and the pay was 20+/hr. Maybe you can help me though. Did you get a job at Grady as a new Grad? Who were you talking with there, and how do you think I could go about getti...

    natsirt21 replied to mlok's topic in New Nurse

    I'm in Atlanta, Georgia. But I'm from Toronto. What kills me is that if I was in Toronto I'd have a job in a second because I've proven my skills there. But, my husband is in Atlanta so I want to be there. I've also applied for 50 or so jobs....on...

    natsirt21 replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in Georgia

    Hi, I'm sort of a New Grad and I'm having a lot of trouble finding work as an RN. I was wondering if you could give me the names of the unit managers at CHOA's NICU, Medicine and Burn units. I'm applying for the January New Grad program and I need to...
