1. Possible Relocation to Atlanta area!!!???

   lcjRN replied to TenderLoveNCare's topic in Georgia

   It was a while back, but I know some of my graduating classmates went to Grady, Atlanta Medical Center, Piedmont, and Northside. I know my ICU at Emory has hired several new grads over the past year.

   Depends on what you're looking for. Check out the map on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighborhoods_of_Atlanta If you're looking for cute, fun areas, I like East Atlanta, Inman Park, Candler Park, Virginia Highlands, Druid Hills, Morningsi...

3. Need words of encouragment

   lcjRN replied to Peeker19's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with most of the above posters. It was irresponsible of them to hire a relatively untrained nurse in a float pool. Talk to your manager, and see if they can put you on one floor for at least six months so you can get your bearing. If they won...

4. Possible Relocation to Atlanta area!!!???

   lcjRN replied to TenderLoveNCare's topic in Georgia

6. Any ideas on ways of making extra money as an RN?

   lcjRN replied to suture_self's topic in Georgia

   Working PRN at a second hospital has been great for me. I make the money I need working full-time night shift, and work days, nights, weekends, whatever fits my schedule. My PRN base pay is more than the overtime pay at my primary job, plus, if I can...

7. Know of any place to sell used scrubs?

   lcjRN posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   Between moving into a new house and both my hospitals going to standardized scrub colors, I'd like to sell my old scrubs. Can anyone recommend a place to sell used scrubs? Ebay and Cragislist both seem too vague in terms of categories.

8. What brands of scrubs are the most comfortable?

   lcjRN replied to cnamommyto2's topic in Uniform/Gear

   They're expensive, but I love Koi. Super comfy, and unlike a lot of cheaper scrubs, they don't fade after eight thousand washes.
