You can do it if that's what you want. I bombed ANP twice and passed on the 3rd try. Never failed another class again and never had much of a hard time in nursing school once I was in. IMO it was the institution that made the course exceedingly diff...

northside is good, but the dollar per hour pay wasn't as good as piedmont. the retirement plan though is better at northside.

northside also takes ASN. I had an offer there too

Piedmont definitely takes ADN. I have an ASN which is the same thing and I got hired on.

The drug calc is easy if you can follow a given formula for insulin sliding scale dosages. A guy that was recently hired on my floor said the tests weren't bad and they give you a retry on the math one if you don't pass the first time, but you have t...

bsn is not required. just make sure you're "safe" and you don't need to worry so much

yes you get a first, second and third pick

If you will work part time on weekends Piedmont is hiring on the ortho floor

You can try for PRN, wellstar cobb, LTAC, SNF, or grady.

I have an ASN and I went through the residency at piedmont. I'm currently still employed by them and my clinical manager is also an ASN grad.

With ALIFs ice chips the whole first day because you don't want to risk a paralytic ileus with little to no bowel sounds. At temps of 99 I reinforce IBE use before giving them tylenol

I heard from a guy that finished his residency that he did 2 12's on the floor, an 8 on the floor and 1 day of classroom per week for 12 or 13 weeks. Hope that helps...

I forgot, that turn around was with live scan instead of the old ink print way

They are both probably about the same. The lag is with the paperwork/filing. I did my nclex in CA as well as GA and they took forever with the paperwork. Allow about 3 months.

At the hospital I work at, we don't have to speak any spanish at all. We can call language services and they will bring up a phone that will automatically connect to a live translator (and the phone covers a wide variety of languages, it gets preprog...

If you want to become an ASN or BSN nurse, you should look into facilities where you want to work and look at the pre-reqs. Some hospitals require BSN in order to even apply unless you have a lot of experience.

Is the 27 an hour base or with shift diffs? Also is that the starting rate or with an X amount of experience?

If anyone applied to the med surg floors I'm interested to hear how your interviews turned out.

I've been looking for 2 years. If you find anything, I'd REALLY appreciate it!

Hi all. To make a really long story short, I graduated with my ASN in the summer of 2007, moved to CA and was unable to find a position and now recently moved to GA. I was previously licensed as an LPN, but took an LPN to RN program instead of practi...

Hi all. I tried posting in my local region with few responses so I'll try here in hopes I can get more feedback. To make a really long story short, I graduated with my ASN in the summer of 2007, moved to CA and was unable to find a position anywhere ...

70k a year? wow you better be working lots and lots of overtime to get that. On average what i find in CA is most get like 25-33 an hour. I've seen some jobs on the low end as low as 18 an hour! As far as the loan you do have to consider interest rat...

Wow that's so low calorie wise. Women in general need 1200-1600 calories a day while men generally need 1600-2000 calories a day. By abstaining from so many calories your body is more likely to break down muscle and organs mainly before turning to ma...

In some states though, they do offer unofficial results for $20, but unfortunately CA isn't one of those states.

The "trick" is a myth. I failed the test a couple times for the RN and even tried the trick. You have to get your ATT to reschedule. Pearson is a business out to make money. My first attempt on the NCLEX-RN, I got flooded in Bloomington because the a...
