I live in metro Atlanta and our hospital has implemented a "re-deployment initiative" to pull nurses to the Covid units. Right now it's mostly nurses from OR, PACU, and outpatient side but it could expand. I have friend who works in mgmt at a Dr's of...

Hello all! Has anyone ever worked for Sunrise Detox Center? They are opening a location here in GA and I was hoping someone could tell me a little about the working environment. I do know that they are a very high end facility and cater to athletes, ...

Thank you Michael!

Thank you so much, this really helps!

Question for all of you seasoned psych nurses. I recently started a position on an adult unit and at this facility nurses are to perform evaluations on ED patients who are on a psych hold. For Example, if someone comes into the ED voicing or displayi...

Thank you guys for the input. The process at this facility is just so different from what I'm accustomed to. And I just have some reservations about there only being one nurse on the unit, when the eval nurse is in the ED doing assessments. I just do...

I don't have an answer to your question, I was curious as to what school you got your Masters from. I'm thinking of going back for my NP and am interested in a reputable program. Thank you

Actually I just got a call this afternoon(yes on a Sunday!), I called the recruiter back, but he wasn't in his office..Still haven't completely made up my mind. On one hand, I would love to gain the knowledge and experience and take it somewhere else...

TBird It may be a blessing that you haven't heard from them. Seriously, sometimes we think we want something so bad, then when we finally get it, it's not at all what we expected. When I got hired here, I thought it wold be my dream job, now I'm tryi...

They haven't made an offer yet. I would love to come of 12hr night shifts, but I don't want to go from bad to worse either. I think I'll just hold out for something better. I'm trying to decrease my stress not make it worse..

Just wanted to give you guys an update, i went ahead and went on the interview for the CM position today. I have to say it was the longest interview I've ever had..nearly 2 hrs. First I met with 2 of the hiring managers and they started off asking th...

Thank you guys for the input!

For those of you that are working there or have recently left, do you mind sharing what state you're in? I am considering a postion with UHC, but the reviews I've been reading on this board as well as others give me pause...are any of you in Georgia?

Nurses wear navy blue and/or white scrubs, techs light blue, resp is black, lab is burgundy...what unit are you working on?

Please let us know the job works out for you. I'm considering telephonic nursing as well. I recently took a position on a post-op observation floor..it hasn't even been a week and I'm already ready to jump ship.

Hello All! I was wondering if anyone has taken the HIT PRO exam for Clinician/Practioner. Just finished the certification program through HITECH and am looking for study guides/tips. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated. Than...

That's awesome! Congratulations

Thank you and congratulations on passing the exam! Have you found a job in the field yet?

Yes I'm still enrolled at Walden, but I decided to pursue my masters in mental health counseling.

Hi there! I actually ended up switching to a different program, not because I was having any problems, I just realized informatics wasn't my passion. But the program is not that bad. It is time consuming, weekly writing and discussion assignments, b...

Thank you for the encouragement! I am so glad everything worked out for you. I'm surprised the pay is so low there. I live in the Midwest too (St. Louis) and I am in that same pay range, I was hoping for a decent pay increase once I moved. I was just...

Congrats on your new job. I am planning to relocate to GA in the next couple of months. I always see tons of openings at all the hospitals..now I may have to reconsider if it's that hard to find a job there. Aside from that, how are you enjoying GA?

Good morning! I'm planning to relocate to Georgia this summer and I am in the process of applying for my GA license and I have a question about the employment verification portion of the application. Do you have to provide a notarized statement from ...

Thank you for the encouragement! Any recommendations on good hospitals to work at?

I was finally able to get someone to fill out the form. I don't see why they just can't go online or call the Work Number to verify your employment. The GBON needs to realize this is 2012 and most everything is automated or online. Is there someone f...
