hey. anybody attending the EC function in atlanta tonight? i know this is last minute, but my car just bit it and i may not be able to go. i'm curious as to what's going to be talked about. there is supposed to be a law firm available to talk to ...

I made it to the meeting. The dean of EC's nursing program was there along with some people from the Georgia Nurses Association and a new member of the GBON who happens to be an EC graduate. The school has provided legal representation for EC stude...

I'm working in North Carolina if that tells you anything.

Hendersonville. Just because I have family to stay with there. I may end up in Raleigh come the middle of next year just because it's a bigger city and my hubby will be able to find a job easier there.

Okay, so Georgia is denying my application for endorsement from MN, so I went ahead and got an RN license in a neighboring state. I'm supposed to be going on a grand job hunt tomorrow and my husband is NOT HAPPY at all about this whole situation. I...

I DO know what you mean. I even wrote the Secretary of State's office and all they did was forward my letter to Sandy Bond. I start orientation at my N. Carolina job tomorrow and I'm happy with that, but I still feel like I've been slighted. I pas...

I've called or written every local hospital with no luck. What hospitals in Ga even hire LPNs? The last email I got from the GBON stated there "might be a place in Griffin". The board of nursing doesn't even know!

Thanks for the advice. I went up to NC and got a job yesterday and I think my husband is considering moving up there in a few months. I think I'm just through with Georgia.

Good luck on whatever you choose! I'm an Excelsior ADN grad in Georgia and I, just yesterday, got an RN job in North Carolina. I found the the preceptorship might be more difficult to accomplish than just getting a year of experience out of state. ...

The GBON website seems to be asking for acute-care experience of one year. I don't have any hospital experience, so I may have difficulty finding a hospital job. And the GBON aren'y really "denying" me, but they haven't touched my application sinc...

So, does your friend work in a hospital or nursing home?

Thank you so much!

I passed the NCLEX the June 29th. I had my application in the mail to Georgia within a day or two.

Thanks. I've applied to the VA and I've applied to the North Carolina BON. I was told by Georgia that I could endorse with 1800 hours of RN experience...or do that preceptorship. I really don't expect Georgia to do anything more with my applicatio...

Who was your "application specialist" is. I'm being flat out denied.

I've applied to the VA. If that doesn't work out I'm just going to work out of state and hope my husband finds a job out of state with me. The school made it clear to me that hospitals will not do this preceptor-ship because we are not covered unde...

Work in another state or work for the VA. After 1800 hours I can come into Georgia to work. The school flat out said that there are no places that are wiling to precept because we are alumni and aren't covered by school insurance. If I worked in a...

So, I got a letter from the college yesterday. It seems a group of LPNs are being denied endorsement into Georgia because we SHOULD have taken the boards FOR Georgia. We didn't know it was and option at that point because we were advised by EC to s...

Thanks. Dekalb Medical denied having any sort of program, but I guess since you work there your situation is different. I'll keep trying. :)

I just got the call that I will still be required to do the 350 clinical hours even though I fit the criteria in the latest bill. I've been so excited waiting on my license to be posted. I didn't even consider this an option! Is there someone spec...

K. so I meet all of the requirement stipulated in hb475 and I'm still asked to do the 350 precepted hours. has anyone started the preceptorship? I'm being denied hospital by hospital.

Thanks and good luck. I spoke with the woman from yesterday's supervisor and she wasn't any help(or nice). She said to me, "You can do the 350 precepted hours or you can go work in another state for 1800 hours". I know I should feel grateful th...

I feel at least some of your frustration. I am an LPN and became licensed as an RN in MN and I meet all of the criteria for licensure by endorsement in Georgia, however, they're still sitting on my application after a month. The only part of my app...

Hello. I overnighted my application for licensure by endorsement last week and the GBON website doesn't even have my application posted as being "pending". I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with this. My application packet was complete a...

Did you have to call and check on the progress of your application or did you just check it online?
