   uscgal09 replied to newrn05's topic in Tennessee

   Wondering if I can get updates to this thread for more current info. Does it depend on the unit? 5 years experience with a year and a half of that being in the unit I'm about to have an interview.

3. License by Endorsement in GA, How long did it take?

   uscgal09 replied to quiteone's topic in Georgia

   Cmunst45636: If you know FOR SURE you are going to be leaving Louisiana to go Georgia, my recommendation would be to do it all with Georgia the first time. I'd like to know other people's opinions on this as well; however, considering the time it tak...

4. License by Endorsement in GA, How long did it take?

   uscgal09 replied to quiteone's topic in Georgia

   Ashlee, somehow I missed this part when I was doing mine as well. I received something from SC BON telling me that they needed proof of residency, so I sent in my license. From there, I thought that SC would verify my original and current license. No...

5. License by Endorsement in GA, How long did it take?

   uscgal09 replied to quiteone's topic in Georgia

   What I learned while applying to GA by endorsement is that what people are saying about calling is extremely true. I had to call the SC BON to figure out what my hold up was at first. Then after everything I needed to do was completed, I kept waiting...

6. Midnight shift

   uscgal09 replied to NurseSuzann's topic in Geriatric

   Dizzy, I've definitely decided my phone will be set on silent when I'm trying to sleep. My friends and family are the same way. I'll ask a thousand times, but it doesn't matter! haha As far as "rules" for eating...that makes sense. I don't know why I...

   Hey! I'm a "new grad" (graduated May 2009) and am getting ready to start orientation for my first job on ortho/neuro. What are your thoughts on the unit? What things did you find to be easy? Difficult? What would you recommend I know going into it?? ...

   Sistasoul, You are the second person I've encountered today that has dealt with the Ortho/Neuro floor. I am getting ready to start my hospital orientation there on the first of November. I have been out of school for almost a year and a half, but am ...

9. Midnight shift

   uscgal09 replied to NurseSuzann's topic in Geriatric

   Hi! I will be starting 7p to 7a soon (first nursing job period) and have kind of an odd question. What do you do about meals? Do you eat dinner when you get home at 730-8 am?? Breakfast at 6pm?? I don't get it! And I've definitely always been more of...

10. Neuro Jobs

    uscgal09 replied to Attuma0000's topic in Neurological

    Hi!! I just accepted a new grad position in Ortho/Neuro. I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind being a fabulous resource for me!! Even though it is a "new grad" position, I've been out of school since May '09. That being said, I'm scared to death, becau...

    uscgal09 replied to quiteone's topic in Georgia

    Hey, yall! I am not sure if any of you know the answer to this or even a better place to post this perhaps, but I'll give it a shot. I am currently waiting on the whole process of license by endorsement in GA. I graduated in May 2009 and got a BSN in...

    uscgal09 replied to missmiss's topic in Government

    So I know I have posted those questions yet. Sorry. A couple reasons for that...first of all, I got busy. Secondly, I did get a call back from the recruiter. We talked a little bit and I asked her what she thought my chances of being accepted were. S...

13. Air Force Nursing Bonus, Student Loan Repayment

    uscgal09 replied to missmiss's topic in Government

    Hey, Huggie! Thanks for the response. I will post the questions tonight if I get the chance. I called a recruiter last week and left a voicemail. I haven't heard back yet. I've found a lot of info on this site, but even for questions that I think I h...

14. Air Force Nursing Bonus, Student Loan Repayment

    uscgal09 replied to missmiss's topic in Government

    Hi, I graduated with a BSN in May 2009. I still have yet to find a job. The idea of military was brought to my attention several months ago. I'd never really considered it, because the only people in my family who have been military were my two grand...

    I have put in applications to the VA (Columbia twice) to more than one of their campuses. Never a response. I even had the charge nurse from the VA's PACU on my application; still nothing. Providence DT and NE always told me I didn't have enough expe...
