   Mikel3113 replied to meg816's topic in Georgia

   Well first off I was a new grad going into it, so I can't speak for how an experienced nurse feels about our unit. However nursing school doesn't do much but skim the surface of icu knowledge. Once you start you will realize there's alot of advanced ...

   Its not exact but it's a little after regular schools graduate so May-June ish and again in dec-Jan ish. they like all new grads to go through 3 month residency program so they bring everyone on at once so they can collaborate the training and classe...

   They do take new grads, but only during certain times so they can collaborate the residency program. The hardest thing is getting that interview. You might have to physically go up there and talk to some of the head people to get hired in a reasonabl...

   The training does require a 2 year contract though just to let you know breaking it and you pay it back like 14k I think It's worth it though so far. Good luck to you

   Mikel3113 replied to GeorgiaGirl's topic in Georgia

   Grady is unique. If your going there for neuro, burns, trauma, or ER your going to the right place. Med/surg and the rest isn't anything special but it's okay. nurses do get burned out quick here if its not there thing because the patients can become...

   Mikel3113 replied to meg816's topic in Georgia

    Mikel3113 replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

    I am a new grad and share your feelings because I am relatively new to death too. I've seen many pass since, but my first way only about half a year ago. In my unit it is very regular, probably about 30 or 40% of mine die, not necessarily under my ca...

    Ashfost, Congrats, I hope your as excited as I am. I'm in SICU, how about you? I'm willing to bet we've been sitting in training together, It's so much how could we not be. It's great though to get paid to learn, I couldn't ask for anything more.
