Heya Hopeful,

thanks so much for the terrific praise. I really do need that now. Family and friends being so unaware of the long-lasting damage of the words that they forget they say.

Far as I know, oncology pays the same as all else at this stage of the game. I'm getting the same new grad starting pay plus diffs for metro Atlanta as anyone else. I almost feel like I'm taking advantage of them. I need so much orientation and training! But then I just think about all the years I've struggled through exams, lectures, papers, presentations, clinicals, externship...ok, no more guilt here! LOL.

I completed my paperwork, background and drug screens, pharm test (after just getting out of school and acing NCLEX!!!) and got my badge today. There it is. My name, my pic w/ the RN and the Oncology listed right below it and above the bar code. It's starting to feel real!!

Thanks So Much Mr. RN!!!!!

:lol2:

It is real!!!! You have done it!!! What I meant was with experience oncology pays well(at least that is what I have noticed in the paper and online) Trust after a few weeks you will feel as though they are taking advantage of you:lol2: just kiddin!! You will need about what all the other new grads need and N E Ga seems to know!! That is why they hire new grads as often as they do. It will really be real when you actually go to work and get that first paycheck good luck!!!

Hi Gang,

What better way to get the ol' foot in the door than to meet the very people who do the hiring at a JOB FAIR?

In Atlanta, they're ubiquitous.

In fact, there's one coming up: http://www.nationalcareerfairs.com/monster/index.php?p=career_fair_city&city=Atlanta&state=GA&year=2007

But don't go without reading this first: http://www.son.jhmi.edu/resources/career/center/resources/jobfair/

That's my 2 cents.

;)
