I took the NLN on 1/12/07 and I received my test scores back about 2 weeks ago. So don't sweat it you will get them and you will do a lot better then you think you did.

I am getting Landau for now since that is what I have to get for school. I really like the length of the Dickies but they are a little snug on the hips! I have sworn of drawstring pants they kept sliding off and wouldn't stay tied!!! I don't want to worry about my pants falling off:lol2: ! I did end up with a petit small in pants and just a small in the top!!! thanks for your help!

I am sooo glad I'm no the only!!!!! My husband tells me all the time that you can't be a nurse if you can't find scrubs that fit! I will check out some of these and see what I can find. Thanks a ton for your help.

Ok, I need to get a few sets of scrubs but I can't find anything that fits me. I'm 4'9" and 110lbs. NOTHING fits me. I do have hips and everything thats lenght wise is made for a stick person and if it fits hips wise it is made for a normal height person:lol2: . At least I can laugh at the fact that I'm really short! Anyway, Anyone have any ideas other then heming everything I buy? (Not to handy with the sewing machine) Thanks

thank you for not totally dogging me on this. I was just trying to make a point that if the weather had not been hot ..... I just was making the point that this was probably not the first time this poor child had been subjected to the stupidity of this kind of behavior from it's mother. I have a 2 yr and a 9 yr and just have no way of understanding the thought process of leaving a child in a car or alone for that matter.

Ok just a question I'm sure you guys can answer. Could the baby dehydrate and die in 9 hours if it was perfectly heathy and taken care of otherwise? What I'm getting at is other then the hard core proof of stupidity on this mother's part, could this child have still been alive if it had been in perfect health condition. Please don't think for one second I'm condoning this I'm NOT. I just seem to think this child was not ever properly taken care of the poor little soul.

GA isn't bad once you get outside of ATL. We live in Northeast GA and my mom is buying a house for $228,400 w/ 3 bd/2.5ba 2100sq' on a full basement with 1+ acres! Not to shabby here!

ATL is a hard place to get in to the healthcare field. I'm in classes for a CNA and I have tried everything from housekeeping to office work for a Hospital with no luck. Nursing Homes are a different matter especially if you are an LPN you should not have much a problem getting into one. I think that Piedmont and Crawford Long have some LPN stuff also. I'm finally going on an interview but it took someone I know telling the director of their department about me. DO NOT go through HR call unit Director's directly and tell them what you are looking for. Leave a message and if you don't hear back call again. Good Luck.

Lanier Tech aslo has a program. Don't know much about it but I'm start Summer Quarter! I have also heard Georgia Perimeter is not a good one either. But I have no first hand knowledge of that.

Ok so I'm declined for an interview even for a housekeeping position. I can change sheet and use a wahing machine. Oh well the right job will come I just need to pray that Gad will put me in the right place at the right time.

Ok at least I know I'm not alone! Ok explaine to me why I would be declines to be a housekeeper?????? I mean the qualifications for the job were: Must be literate and will provide on the job training. I may be blonde but I promise I can read and write and follow directions. It just doesn't make any sense and no one can seem to give me an answer when I call HR as to why I have not been selected to at least interview. Amazing to me. My DH was laughing last night and said no wonder they claim to have a shortage they won't hire anyone!!!

Ok I have applied fro everything from House keeping to CNA to PCT (no experiance required) and I can't even get a call back. :angryfire I have only taken 2 classes so far but I have a 4.0 and I'm willing to work any shift. I just had no idea it would be this hard to get even a phone call back with the major shortage of anyone in healthcare. I don't expect to get the perfect life long position but heck I can clean a floor and wash sheets:lol2: . I just want my foot in the door. Ok so to whine:uhoh21: I'm just annoyed right now.

Thank you thank you thank you soooo much. I have talked with two people already and they have been very nice. I knew someone on here could give me something great to say. Thanks again!:thankya: :thankya:

Ok, I have been told that in order to really get a chance at getting on at any of our local hospital's you need to leave a message for or talk to the Nurse Manager for the department you are interested in. I am trying to get a job as a PCA since I'm just in a CNA program now. What is an apporprate message to leave in regards to being interested in a position? Thanks for your help I know all of you will be able to give me something great!

Ok I have made contact with HR at AMC! They were very nice and sent me to the person that hires PCA's. I left her a message so hopefully that will at least put a flick of light in my corner:idea: when she looks at my resume'. I have also had 2 conversation's with a CEO of an LTC. Things are looking somewhat better in the begging process of getting your first job in the medical field.:balloons: I'm going to start calling hospital's and talking HR directly to at least put a voice with the paper. I'm done with calsses unitl April so it would be nice to get something in the mean time.
