I'm in Ga and I recently graduated in August (2013), licensed in September. My first job was at $18.50/hr. I was just offered a new job starting at $19/hr. Both are with correctional facilities. I did receive a job offer when I first started my job ...

We're stuck wearing white too. They require either nude or white undergarments as well. AND our instructor is a total uniform nazi; checking our sock color, and makes sure we have on our watch, name tag, pen, pen light, and stethoscope.
I use my iPhone and it comes in sooo handy. I downloaded drug and lab apps (PocketPharmacist, WebMD, and Lab Values) and use them constantly. Once I forgot my pen light and used the camera light for assessment of the pt's eyes. The instructor was rea...
