  6. Book list for Georgia Baptist Fall 2009?

    You can go online or call the Mercer Atlanta campus bookstore. They should have an idea of the books you will need. The books change nearly every year so it would be hard for someone not in the...

  13. Georgia BON

    Yes, apparently the GBON is saying it will take them 4 to 6 weeks to post licenses on their website. Absolutely ridiculous. A classmate of mine who moved to Virginia stated she found out she had...

    Good plan!! Getting a hospital to pay for continuing education is definitely the way to go! Just keep at it and know all your hard work will pay off!! If we are talking about the same hiring manager...
  15. Associate Degree Nurses

    You may want to try nursing homes and LTC facilities. The Atlanta market is saturated with new graduate nurses right now and the economy is not so hot. Many people depend on jobs for health...
  21. Maybe I shouldn't be an ICU nurse - long

    My guess would be the 1:1 ratio for a vented pt would be in a smaller hosptial without RT on the ICU floor. In the hospital where I finished my senior practicum, there is at least 1 RT on the unit at...
