I am Jay one of the moderators of the GA Forum. I welcome everyone to this great site and this forum. This forum is for Nurses and Nursing students to talk about nursing issues related to GA Nursing. Please feel free to announce yourself in this thread.
I also ask that in doing so, if you have any questions please start a new thread with that question so that this can remain a roll call thread only.
Please refrain from posting such things as "Is this hospital good/bad?" Such post are just hear-say and thus unhelpful to you as the original poster. It is better to check the facility out for yourself.

Hello All,
Back in GA. I am originally a Texas girl and moved here as soon as I graduated with my BSN in 2005. My first nursing job was at Emory University Hosp., and I had an amazing experience there. Did that for 2 years then became a travel nurse in CALI for a year. Loved it!! Just returned to GA a month ago, for a couple reasons, and anyway here i am. I looked for a job for over a month and was lucky to interview with 4 hospitals in the area and was offered a job at each one. I am going with Grady, some may say I am crazy, but i am excited. It def wasn't the highest paying, but it is the experience i am looking for. I start orientation on the 20th of this month. Wish me luck.
I am Pamela and I recently took and passed NCLEX on last Friday! Yay! I live in the Warner Robins area and will start work in the CVICU in Macon beginning of August. I am also a Registered Respiratory Therapist
I am in Duluth, GA. I've been lingering on this site since I started nursing school in '07! I am originally licensed as an RN in CT, and am currently awaiting licensure by endorsement from the GA BON. I didn't realize it would take so long! I am also a new grad (May '09).
I am in Savannah, GA and set to begin the BSN program at Armstrong Atlantic State on Aug. 17!! I am a double major: Health Sciences (Health Admin)/Nursing and looking forward to this journey and graduating May 2011. I am also an Army ROTC cadet, so I have already signed my life away ! Look forward to hearing from everyone!
Yeah girl I applied to Coastal too (my friend graduated from there in Dec 2007)and I was accepted but I turned it down to go to Armstrong offer b/c it was a BSN and then lo and behold Coastal now has a BSN program as of Fall 2009. Congrats on your acceptance and good luck!!
my name is amy and i will be starting macon state colleges adn program in about 4 days! good luck to all the new nursing students and to all those returning in the fall! :)
I'm Shanice. Call me Shanice or lotus- whichever you prefer. I'm a wannabe RN. I'm a certified paralegal currently working as a legal assistant. I've worked in the legal field for over 12 years. I'm dissatisfied and unfulfilled. I love to help people and volunteered regularly before beginning classes at GPC this Fall. I'm a divorced mom to 2 boys who are extremely active. I've decided to pursue Nursing because of my desire to help people, because I've always loved hospital environments and because of the possibility of a more flexible schedule. I also want to feel like I've made a difference somewhere, somehow, at the end of a workday.
I've been out of school for, um, a while (lol) and am taking prerequiste courses. I have a really strong desire to be a Nurse and I really hope I can be accepted into GPC's Nursing Program as soon as my prerequisites are met. I understand it will be very competitive, so any help and information I can get is greatly appreciated.

! Look forward to hearing from everyone!
