I was wondering what their hourly wage was for new RN's. As well as night and weekend shift differential? Does anyone know how their tuition reimbursement works? How much are you given and what must you do to "pay" it back? Do you get to choose where...

I was born in 1989, an identical twin, and was born at 28 weeks. I was 2 pounds 1 ounce and 14 inches long. I am told by the neonatologist, Dr. Patterson, that I was one of the first babies to ever have serfactant (sp?). I stayed in the NICU 91 days,...

Are you allowed to withdraw money early from your 401k? And if this isnt too mosy, may I ask how much ya'll contribute to yours each month? I'm not sure what a decent amount is....

What are the responsibilities of a nurse working on a post partum floor? What does their day typically consist of?

So, is anyone on here starting their pre-nursing BSN program this Fall or am I alone? My schedule is: Monday: College Algebra 8:00-8:50 Public Speaking 9:00-9:50 U.S. History 10:00-10:50 Tuesday: College Algebra 8:00-8:50 English Composition 2:00-3 :...

I just found it online...its about $12,800...

Seeing as to how SGMC does not have an email, I am having to mail them. Does this sound okay (and respectful, not noisy or pushy?) To whom it may concern, I am very interested in becoming a Registered Nurse. I am starting my Pre-...

Thank you guys! And yes, they are affiliated with my University. In fact SGMC just gave my university a million dollars... That is where we will be doing clinicals and everything...so, I'm guessing it may be on the university's website? How does one ...

I have a declared major of Pre-Nursing... I start classes August 18th. I know absolutely nothing about nursing. Heck, I cannot even find someone's blood pressure (I tried in anatomy). But I know nothing about the ins and outs of a nurse's day. Did an...

I wish I could. There is no short program here to become a CNA. The hospital here no longer accept volunteers because they do all of that in May... I even looked in Valdosta, where I will be earning a BSN, and they offer it but it is like a semester ...

Yes, I am really considering buying that to learn. And, you start clinicals before ever really learning about nursing?

I am very fearful of hospitals. If I get in a hallway or smell something different I get really anxious and start passing out and whatnot. ITs just an anxiety I think... But, if I want to be a nurse, is that something I can overcome? I would HATE to ...

Well, I have been and still kind of am, stuck between teaching high school Biology and going into nursing. So, I am still trying to get that figured out. Oddly enough, I am very anxious when it comes to hospitals and public speaking. I have taught a ...

Yes, my choices ranked in order from favorite are: Post partum, level 2 nicu, labor and delivery, and pediatrics

IS their nursing salary still $17.50 an hour? Or has that changed? There is a hospital in my hometown who pays $19.00 an hour plus $3.23 evening shift and $4.25 night shift differentials. But I REALLY want to work at TMH at the women's pavillion, and...

Can ya'll let me in on a night in your NICU? I know nothing about how things are done/what is done/how you know what do, etc. So the more specific the better... From charting, an admission, bathing, feeding, etc. (I'm starting college this Fall and m...

People keep telling me how hard nursing school will be (i start college this summer). WHY is it so hard? what makes it so difficult?

I'm starting college this August....and just looking into different hospitals right now....because several are offering student loan repayment. I really want to work with babies (either in Labor and Delivery, post partum, or the NICU). I either want ...

4 years left, lol. I'm thrilled to soon graduate high school. When should I talk to TMH about the student loan repayment?

How do you choose your job? Location? Pay? Preference to the hospital? What is most important?

Well, for the hospitals that are offering 4 years of tuition reimbursement.... I'd like to know if they would be a good place to work before I have a committment.... Because I LOVE the hospital, but would be an hour away from my parents in Tallahasse...

Well, I will just be starting college in August... But I want to have the tuition reimbursement from the get go (some offer 4 years, others 2)...

How difficult would it be to get your CNA license while in college full time?

How does one go about becoming a CNA? I am a senior in high school (14 days left! woohoo!) and if I could get certified over the summer, that would be perfect...but I know NOTHING about nursing....do you take classes at a technical scool or what? How...

What all does a CNA do for clinicals? And what all does a CNA do at a hospital, exactly?
