I actually think that this is illegal. It is an undercover way of asking your race or your age.

Well, all I know is what I was told directly from the Georgia Dept. of Labor in Atlanta. Maybe Macon has its own rules. I wish you luck in moving on, but I wouldn't count on unemployment.

Thank O'Bama's Health care plan for this.

I thought this was the Georgia forum. What is this, then.

Well, "They promise you nothing back" isn't exactly true. They are giving you the opportunityh to learn and get experience. It takes a while for a new nurse to get up to speed. It just does.
