2. RN License by Endorsement - Background Check?

   georgianurseheather replied to georgianurseheather's topic in Colorado

   You do not have to have a Colorado address in order to apply for a license. I currently reside in Georgia, and was able to get my license in Colorado with no problem. The only thing is that it won't be a compact license until you are a legal resident...

3. RN License by Endorsement - Background Check?

   georgianurseheather replied to georgianurseheather's topic in Colorado

   Okay, thanks so much for the info! Maybe CO is one of those that just doesn't require fingerprints. I have always had to be fingerprinted in the states where I was licensed, but Colorado is a new one to me. Thanks for the help!

4. RN License by Endorsement - Background Check?

   georgianurseheather posted a topic in Colorado

   Hello everyone! I am trying to obtain a nursing license in Colorado by endorsement (I have an active license in another state). I submitted the application and fees as stated on the DORA website, and did my license verification through Nursys. Howeve...

5. GA license renewals

   georgianurseheather replied to T-Bird78's topic in Georgia

   I just renewed my RN license online, and just had to fill out some info, pay the fee, and scan a copy of my driver's license. There's also an option to mail a copy of your driver's license, or some other document to verify identity and citizenship. I...

6. Jobs near Duncan/Lawton for RN

   georgianurseheather replied to brandi1985's topic in Oklahoma

   I moved to Lawton right out of nursing school a few years ago and got a job at Southwestern Medical Center with no problem (they even hired me while I was waiting for my Oklahoma license, which took forever!). I worked on a medical floor for 6 months...

7. Advice for new grad applying to telemetry

   georgianurseheather replied to Vindex's topic in Cardiac

   Like you, cardiac was certainly not my first choice, but I ended up accepting a job on a cardiac floor. It was overwhelming at first and I had no idea what I was getting into, but as time goes on you'll be surprised at the things you've learned. We t...

8. What's it like working on a Cardiac floor?

   georgianurseheather replied to princsheather's topic in Cardiac

   On my best days I'm running my tail off and on my worst days it's utter chaos. But I have great co-workers and supportive charge nurses who make all of the difference sometimes. I will say that it's definitely been a good learning experience.

9. GA RN license by endorsement

   georgianurseheather replied to psycheab's topic in Georgia

   I applied for licensure by endorsement from another state (even after graduating from a nursing school in Georgia less than a year prior) and was told that I needed to have 500 verifiable hours of RN work experience. I'm not sure if that's because I ...

10. Job outlook for RNs

    georgianurseheather replied to glitteredstarfish's topic in Georgia

    I agree that there is still a nursing shortage in some areas. I worked at a rural hospital on Oklahoma, and they were desperate for nurses, as they weren't able to offer the money of bigger hospitals and therefore couldn't attract and retain many nur...

11. Relocating to GA from SC and I'm not sure where to take the nclex, or transfer lic.

    georgianurseheather replied to alistar23's topic in Georgia

    I would just apply for licensure in GA. You can take your boards anywhere. I graduated in GA, applied for licensure in TX, and took my boards in OK! The problem with getting licensed in another state and then endorsing to GA is that they require 500...
