If SB49 passes the house, it will negate the rest of the madness.... we have to make sure it passes and the rest of S. Coopers silly bills die in committee or don't make it to the floor which is probably nearly certain this late in the game....right...

Umm....guys correct me if I am wrong, but it looks as though SB 49 was favorably reported by the house committee. Status History Bill HistoryDateAction01/27/2009Senate Read and Referred02/05/2009Senate Committee Favorably Reported 02/06/2009Senate ...

Pauliegirl is an EC employee. She reads and posts here. What she does with the info....IDK. But they are aware. Pauliegirl, what are you guys doing on your end?

another sharon cooper related nursing education bill....i guess if she gets enough of them out there, one of them will sneak it's way through. we must be diligent and address each one of her bills as though our lifes depend on it. ultimately...they d...

Hey Godsmacked, Go to the license verification page on the BON web-site https://secure.sos.state.ga.us/myverification/ and type in your name to check your status. I looked and my License number is posted, it has actually happened. I just needed to...

received this e-mail today............... any possibility that someone from your hospital (your cno and other nursing colleagues) could send in letters to the editor countering rep. cooper's negative view of ec graduates? rep. cooper has obviously b...

Thank you Terri. I can not tell you what relief I feel. My employer has been holding a RN position for me for almost a year now. I was really getting embarassed by my responses everytime I was asked "have you gotten your License" , "When will you ...

I am not sure how many were reviewed, I was told "some" by the BON. I was # 9 on the list and was holding my breath and praying. Hey, did you take one of Lynn's workshops in the fall (NOV or so) of 2007? I think I may have met you there. If not, I me...

I am so sorry, I asked the lady's name that I spoke to....but in all my excitement, I forgot it. Gosh, I wish I hadn't gotten so crazy minded. I am sure you will be approved. I think they are doing some "token approvals" to verify that they are w...

Yes, Wednesday was the first batch reviewed.

Mailed it in December 27th, they did not acknowledge it until Jan 13th. If you go into Georgia.net @ http://sos.georgia.gov/cgi-bin/external.asp?link=www.ganet.org/rw_sch/search.cgi you can put 410 in the chapter number blank to see where you are on...

Holy crap!!!!!! I spoke with the executive officer at the boards, she actually called me back!!!!! I am licensed in the state of georgia. She said it will be posted when the attorney general returns on monday and i'll have my license in the mail ...

just spoke with the para-legal at the attorney generals office. she is the para-legal taking the calls for the attorney who handles the bon in ga. she said she has no idea what the next step is, that this is a very unusual situation and she just does...

Okay, now back to real business..... Did anyone reach the BON or the attorney generals office today? I never got a return call from the "person who knows" at the AG's office.

Upon reading the post by the highly educated super student, I began to pound at my key board in opposition. I have since decided not to dignify her opinion with a response. I believe my time and effort are better spent concentrating on the law mak...

just spoke with georgette wilix at the attorney generals office. she is the para-legal taking the calls for the attorney who handles the bon in ga (janet jackson). she said she has no idea what the next step is, that this is a very unusual situatio...

I have no doubt that Mrs Coopers bill will fail. SB 49 will be passed and be signed by the governor! Even if hb 475 passes Sonny Purdue will veto it! If Purdue veto's, it will be another long, drawn out year before we get back to the general assembly...

"This is SB 49:PRO also in the atlanta journal on 2/17/09, I think the AJC is just posting pro's and con's of the bill" Certainly they are posting Pro's and Con's. The problem isn't that there are 2 sides to the story, the problem is that the Preside...

Brace yourselves..... it has made it's way into the house for it's first read!! I wish I could see the look an Rep. Sharon Coopers face when this bill gets passed. Status:02/17/09 - House First Readers

I did my CPNE on July 11-13th last year. Passed with flying colors. Signed up to take NCLEX and found out August 1st that the law had changed and I would not be able to endorse in. It took the wind out of my sails and really ruined what should hav...
