   TrickieTam replied to NurseGeorgiapeach's topic in Geriatric

   I'm no where a new nurse and I have concerns of my license. Too many nurses I have worked with have disciplines on their license due to not complying to the many threats of a ltc facility.

   What part of Georgia is this GeorgiaPeach?? I live in Georgia also (Atlanta) and its hard for me to get used to the practices here in LTC coming from Alabama. I used to work one facility in which I had 54 on 11-7. I'm beginning to think I did better ...

   As far as staffing agencies I have worked for 2 here in Ga. I currently work with Lighthouse Nursing Agency which is in Perry, Ga. They pay $20 an hour and you are an independent contractor. You pay your own taxes annually. They staff all over Ga so ...

8. LPN Pay in Columbus GA

   TrickieTam replied to Neeks86's topic in Georgia

   Its about the same in my opinion. I had an interview in that area several months ago and turned it down. I have gotten better luck closer to Atlanta. I still do some agency work and it pulls $20/hr and you pay your own taxes at end of year.

    Hmmm that sounds like my bookkeeper lmao! We are told as nurses that our med pass must not be interrupted, but obviously the person who made up that rule didn't work in a nursing home lol. I too assist with bedpans, transfers, turning and many other ...

12. Anyone work with a prima donna?

    TrickieTam replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric

    I understand your venting completely! Its hard to be in charge of a unit, you carry many hats and are expected to actually finish your own job in a timely manner. Seen and done it too many times!

    I was wondering the same questions! Thanks for the post op!

14. maternity or chronicity?

    TrickieTam replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Online Learning

    I would also like to know what textbooks you use for Chronicity. I looked in the bookstore section but each book seems to be needed for each class. Is Chronicity similar to Fundamentals of Nursing?

15. Excelsior Students- how did you pay for it?

    TrickieTam replied to 84ashley's topic in Online Learning

    About to take my first exam and I am working overtime paying for each one, seems easier. I don't wanna owe anyone when I am done with nursing school like I did when I finished LPN!
