   Well, at least she was honest with you.

2. Entry level pay rate for RN in Atlanta

   Do Or Do Not replied to slcharles31's topic in Georgia

   I can't really answer questions 1 & 3.....it's a real shot in the dark to find out which hospitals are hiring new grads at this point, so just keep applying and making calls and hope for the best. I graduated last fall and started work at Grady ...

3. Atlanta hiring new grads

   Do Or Do Not replied to maryland88's topic in Georgia

   I wish I could say there's some magical way I managed to get on the floor at Grady. I had a small leg up b/c one of the nurses on the floor (who just started a month ago and is also a trainee) knows me and made a good reference, but other than that ...

4. Atlanta hiring new grads

   Do Or Do Not replied to maryland88's topic in Georgia

   I didn't really apply for the residency program, but they asked me if i wanted in it after i started work. for med-surg nurses it's optional b/c there's not the mandatory 2-year committment. So, to answer your question, i'm doing both

5. Atlanta hiring new grads

   Do Or Do Not replied to maryland88's topic in Georgia

   Hey just to update on what I wrote at the top (2 months ago...seems like forever), I got hired by Grady onto a med-surg unit, and they hired a whole bunch of other new grads too! They didn't require me to sign a 2-year contract, but that may just be...

6. Atlanta hiring new grads

   Do Or Do Not replied to maryland88's topic in Georgia

   I'm glad to know that this hasn't spread to Baltimore! Northside called me a few weeks ago asking me if I want to interview for their residency program, but like you said, they wanted me to sign a 2 year contract. 2 years is quite a long time to be...

9. Welcome NCLEX February 2011 Test Takers

   Do Or Do Not replied to jabwemet's topic in NCLEX

   Thank you! The exam was loooooong! I about pooped in my pants once I answered question 75 and saw it go on to question 76. I kept thinking "this has gotta end soon....cmon now!", but the exam kept going and going until it went all the way to quest...

10. Welcome NCLEX February 2011 Test Takers

    Do Or Do Not replied to jabwemet's topic in NCLEX

    I'm taking the exam tomorrow (2/9). I don't feel like I studied as much as I should have, but I did three comprehensive practice tests (Mosby, NCBSN, and Kaplan), all of which range between 60-65%. I also spent some time reading the sections I was ...

11. Georgia Highlands College Fall 2010

    Do Or Do Not replied to GaMommy81's topic in Georgia

    There are a couple female students who got in with lower GPAs then mine. I'm not completely naive and I know that being a dude got me a few brownie points, but the admins at KSU keep a tight lip on how exactly they do their methodology. But hey, go...

12. Georgia Highlands College Fall 2010

    Do Or Do Not replied to GaMommy81's topic in Georgia

    I got in Fall 2009, into the accelerated program. I mean, shoot, if you can quote me from back in time, my friends heard me say nothing but "I'd love to go to KSU, but with my grades it's pretty much impossible", and I kept on hedging my bets all th...

13. Floyd Medical Center - Rome

    Do Or Do Not replied to Blessed2009's topic in Georgia

    I did my clinicals there a few months back. Most of the nurses there know their stuff and will help out for anything you need, but there were a few bad apples who were more concerned with looking at wedding dresses than doing actual RN work. To be ...

14. Georgia Highlands College Fall 2010

    Do Or Do Not replied to GaMommy81's topic in Georgia

    Oh please. I got into the KSU nursing program with a 3.2. GPA isn't the only thing they look at. I did pretty great on my TEAS as well as the interview and I think those are what made me qualify in their eyes, so don't sell yourself short by sayin...
