1. Advice to the LTC nurse...

   notqueenb replied to southernbeegirl's topic in Emergency

   A good report tells us what the current complaint is. As others have said: what is normal for this pt & what is different today. A brief medical history is good, including vaccinations & a legible list of current medications. Also helpful...

2. Schedule of Resident Nurse at Emory?

   notqueenb replied to optimusRN's topic in Georgia

   OptimusRN, the experience was good over all. Would have preferred more hands-on skill days to lecture-type classes, & I think they are changing to that due to feedback from those of us who just finished. Maryland88, I think it's $10,000 for brea...

3. Schedule of Resident Nurse at Emory?

   notqueenb replied to optimusRN's topic in Georgia

   I just finished a residency at Emory. We did 1 week of general orientation, 1 week of dept. orientation, then started working in the unit with our preceptors with 1 8 hr class weekly. Could be different depending on the unit you're on. We never ha...

   notqueenb replied to FutureNurse82's topic in Georgia

   New grad positions are tight, especially in metro Atlanta, but some of the hospitals outside the city will hire new grads w/o a formal "residency" program. Try applying online to Henry Medical, near your mom. Also try hospitals in Macon, GA (Colles...

6. Interview questions - What did you ask the interviewer?

   notqueenb replied to LaurainLA's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks, LaurainLA for the great link. I've had a couple of interviews that asked the "behavioral" questions: tell me about a time you went above & beyond for your patient, tell me about a time you demonstrated teamwork, tell me about a time you...

7. Lack of Experience as my Biggest Weakness?

   notqueenb replied to kimpatrtan's topic in New Nurse

   I was using that answer, too, but don't have any job offers yet. My friend works in HR (in another industry, not health care), & she has advised me not to say anything the least bit negative, that the weakness question is a trap. Therefore, you...

8. Good Evening, Doctor!

   notqueenb replied to FutureMaleOhioNurse's topic in General Nursing

   I've experienced the flip side of what jgamble059 reports. As a middle-aged nursing student, I was mistaken for the instructor of my clinical group more than once & usually got double takes from patients who couldn't believe a student could be s...

   According to their recruiter, new grad pay is $21/hour + shift diff of $3.50-$4.50 + additional weekend diff. (typical for the Atlanta area). Plus sign-on bonus or loan repayment (you probably saw that on their web site). Neighborhood is typical d...
