Saw this mentioned on another thread a couple days ago and looked it up as I had never heard of them. Evidently it is for ppl with watery stools and can help avoid skin breakdown, etc. The hospital I do clinicals at does not use them. I have had sev...

I just relocated from New England to Southeast Atlanta. I had less than a year experience and got the only job I applied at. I put feelers out there and there were several other places I had leads on but really wanted to work at the place I was hired...

I have seen so many posts negatively here and I have to say that I think I would have thought twice about moving here had I know how hard to deal with GA BON would be! It took nearly 3 months of waiting after sending in my complete, simple- transfe...

Bad idea if you ask me.We have full names on badges and What's worse is here in GA the BON posts your address for anyone who looks up your license to see!!

Also many of the Boston hospitals require a BSN and it is hard to get in from what I have heard. Very expensive to live there too but a great city for someone your age. All the places you list are pretty pricey actually. Why are you considering eac...

any news yet?

I have a friend who just signed up for the LNA training and he asked me what was in it. I honestly had no clue as I got my LNA after completing Fundamentals and our first clinical rotation. He wants to become a nurse now but needs to have good employ...

Good luck!! It took FOREVER to get my license by endorsement here in GA. I have never had such a senseless wait for anything ever before. I think you are right- something needs to be done to improve things.

Good luck getting answers from the GA BON, and good luck getting your license!! I just transferred mine from another state and it took me nearly 3 months- and that's with NOTHING that would raise flags- just a straightforward, simple license by endor...

I just took the NLN achievement test for maternal and child health nursing. We have not gotten into the problems with pregnancy (next year), including preeclampsia of which there were a bunch that had to do wtih Mag sulfate and preeclampsia. can ...

BIG CHANGES! I have an amazing opportunity to relocate to Atlanta and am going down there the end of this month to see how I like it and scout for jobs and check out the area. I will be applying to some jobs online trying to get interviews while dow...

Well I hope you got a good flight. I had a hard time finding a deal from MHT. I got one out of Logan for 147 RT all in and the very next day Airtran had a direct go on sale for 159 all in! Who did you book your tix with? I know MHT would be sooo much...

Hi Jessica, thanks for responding and best wishes in school! I have called a few places and was surprised that their ballpark salaries were actually higher than here in the lakes region by a good amount! I am hoping that rings true so I can pay off...

Not one reply?

Don't turn down the offer you have now (bird in hand theory). Is there any way that you can hold off on uniforms? If they are for clinical you may be able to wait a couple weeks into the semester thus saving that money if you do get the second offer ...

We are beginning this next week over the next semester and looks daunting- lots of reading!! It looks like we read the entire book in 8 weeks along with other stuff- Ughh! Over 1800 pages! Who else is studying this now and anyone know of good resour...

I'm not a student, nor am I young, so please don't assume. I have plenty of life experiences to go on in nursing and from before I became a nurse and understand the need to vent whether it be about patients, co workers, family, bosses, the corporatio...

i just don't think that a comment like this is even close to being acceptable. this attitude should not be acceptable by any nurse, new or experienced, i don't care how many years of experience you have or don't have.

What do you do when it is not a JC Hospital but CMS?

I have already decided that I will continuing my education to a Masters or beyond. I had always thought that I wanted to become a CRNA, but today I spoke with a professor and she said I should probably go for my NP first as then I will have more of a...

As a brand new grad nurse, I took a part-time job at a small facility right near my house. Received about 8-9 hours training that consisted of two med passes and set out on my own-as the only nurse on the shift. In the last two months I had been conc...

Could the NP have written an order changing the patch on/off time and day? That would have covered you in practice. Hoping the pt is doing better now.

Has anyone ever heard this term used? I had never heard it before lecture today and I am flabbergasted! Any explanation and if anyone knows where this term comes from would be greatly appreciated.

Not so sure I want my job back but I do feel strongly that changes need to be made. These are not costly changes or necessarily even time consuming changes. BUT something should be done for the sake of the prisoners. I just keep seeing that poor sou...

Well I have to say that I have learned a lot in this whole situation. I will NEVER take a position I don't feel comfortable with and if I ever am somewhere that does not want to give me the tools and trainng I need to do my job, there is NO WAY I wil...
