    I enjoy working for Wellstar. The hospital is going for Magnet and is a great place to

  2. awesome nurse pt ratios

    I_love_my_job replied to sassy_cassie's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like great ratios to me! If we had 12 patients on our medical tele floor then we'd have 3 licensed nurses, 1 CNA, 1 secretary. We are the largest floor as well, only 98-bed hospital. The house...

  3. UWG Nursing Program

    I_love_my_job replied to ms_sgr's topic in Georgia Nursing

    There will be many times you will work in a group. The Prof Concept class is interesting and not stressful. In fact, I made many friends through nursing school and participated in small study groups...

  4. UWG Nursing Program

    I_love_my_job replied to ms_sgr's topic in Georgia Nursing

    WONDERFUL! I graduated in 2008, passed the NCLEX as did 97% of the class. They have a very high pass rate for NCLEX and prepare you well to be a successful RN. The program accepts 60 students in...

  6. Vent, Rant, All of the Above- New nurse in trouble

    I_love_my_job replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you all for taking the time to post. This is encouraging to me as well. I have similar challenges at work and I'm trying to work smart so I won't get burned out. For instance, I take a lunch and...

  7. Advice on changing floors

    I_love_my_job replied to KalipsoRed's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I started on my floor Nov 08 and feel at times the same way. I'm on medical telemetry with 7-8 patients. I feel overwhelmed mostly if my patient mix is heavy or if my partner is not helpful. I have...

  8. What is the deal with Wellstar Hospital?

    I_love_my_job replied to Hope2Be's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I was thinking the same thing. It's hard for some universities to get contracts with Wellstar because Kennesaw has first

  9. What is the deal with Wellstar Hospital?

    I_love_my_job replied to Hope2Be's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I have heard some have interviews set up prior to graduation, but I have spoken directly with HR and was told numerous times I cannot apply for an RN position if I don't have a license! (This was last...

  10. Ever been disciplined for staying late...two months past orientation?

    I_love_my_job posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have been reading these threads regarding staying late, etc and this is a problem for me and feel my manager will be ready to write me up soon. I work on a medical tele floor, had 10 weeks...

  11. Anxiety before work?

    I_love_my_job replied to BeachyRNn08's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm new to nursing, five months, and feel some anxiety about going to work. It starts the day before where I have noticed I get a little irritable around my family, feel stressed that I need to get my...

  12. Weekend/Night shifts only- how rare are these opportunities?

    I_love_my_job replied to SiennaGreen's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I work weekend option day shift as a new grad. First I started precepting during the week (my preceptor's schedule). When I was ready to go on my own I began working every Sat and Sun. I can also pick...

  13. Need help getting organized

    I_love_my_job replied to NurseHarmony's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I hear you! I'm experiencing the same situation. I did get an extra six shifts to work on "time management". That is bologne, really!! I mean we can't be expected to be fast as the experienced nurses....

  14. 1st week down

    I_love_my_job replied to futurenicunurse2008's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congratulations on your new position. It seems like you will have a caring work environment. How long is your new grad transition? In the ICU do they give you 6 months of classroom support and...

  15. New grad needs advice

    I_love_my_job replied to Neaner22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are right to do a thorough assessment. Pt's condition can change dramatically over a shift. It has happened to me already and I have been on my own for only a month. I had a patient whose BP was...

  16. graduate nurse

    I_love_my_job replied to Platypus's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I didn't see the question you were wanting to ask. However, I think mainly you wanted some affirmation on your assumption of being a new grad and the stress, etc. I have been a weekend only new...

  17. My patient dies after my last shift

    I_love_my_job posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I cared for this patient four days over the course of 9 days. The last day I was there his condition significantly deteriorated to the point he was transferred to ICU from med-surg. His O2 was 84 on 2...

  18. Quitting after 6 weeks of orientation.

    I_love_my_job replied to ANH_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ask your manager for more time. Six weeks orientation is too short. I would feel totally overwhelmed too if I had to start after six weeks. I am going on my 10th week and still feel nervous about...

  19. PRN Nurse and High school teacher? Insane?

    I_love_my_job replied to niubiochem's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a great idea in theory. Nursing would be great to supplement income during school breaks, and you only need to work once a month prn. However, as a new grad myself I was told nurse...

  20. Need your input...Idaho Falls versus Lewiston/Clarkston/Pullman

    I_love_my_job posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I love the west and currently have family in WA and friends in Lewiston. Idaho Falls is very scenic from the pictures I have seen. I have never lived in Idaho and really want to make a trip out...

    I_love_my_job replied to GaMommy81's topic in Georgia Nursing

    A friend of mine was just hired as a med tech, no license required, at an assisted living facility for $13 an hour...much more than a tech would be paid. I earned 30% less than that when I did tech...

  23. Managing Patient Assignments

    I_love_my_job replied to missmiamoore's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. I feel overwhelmed myself and this suggestion helps. I do a lot of what you suggested also. I find that my papers given to me in the morning are a mess at the...

  24. What is the deal with Wellstar Hospital?

    I_love_my_job replied to Hope2Be's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I went through the same thing when I tried applying for an RN position. I received "rejection" emails because I did not have my license number to put on the application. I was told I wouldn't have an...

  25. How Much Did you Make as a Student Nurse Tech??

    I_love_my_job replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone who does this risks losing their job at my hospital. Just because some RNs let senior nursing students who are techs on their shift do procedures doesn't make it right. I would not risk my job....
