Hi there! I am an RN up north, and am planning a move to Douglasville sometime in the next year. I want to plan well in advance, so am researching area hospitals. Can anyone give me some insider info on the WellStar system, specifically Douglas? My b...
My family members seem to really like the South Douglas school system. Of course, we take an active role at home in the kids' education as well, so I'm not overly concerned about what they will be missing at school, if anything. If not done ER before...
Small world! I have some family in Douglasville and the kids and I just love it down there. It looks like Wellstar Temps pays very well for the area. I'm checking into that option too, and I haven't completely ruled out private duty or home care. We ...

Any tips on getting into L&D at Cobb or Douglas? I have a little over 1 year of Med-Surg/PCU. Recently hired into L&D in the midwest, and I want to get a little experience here before I relocate. I have no desire to go back to a Med-Surg envi...
Where I live, we have a hospital that places job postings on the company website and it lists L&D as just that, and Obstetrics refers to their Postpartum unit. I don't know why they don't just call it PP. Confusing.
Any updates from people currently in the RN-BSN program? How is it going? Is it possible to complete in 6 months? I'm considering going back in August while I still qualify for Pell. Would like some insider info first before I jump in. Thanks!
IU Health starts at 21.75 base for RN Associate Partner. No matter experience or degree. There are shift diffs to consider, that can increase your pay. I think it's 3.60 extra from 3p-11p, 4 something from 11p-7??a, 5.50 weekend, 11 holiday. We work ...
IU Health is hiring to capacity right now, especially at Methodist. We have had high census lately and they are bringing in new grads like crazy. Check out the website. http://www.iuhealth.org
I haven't read all the posts, but I wanted to mention a possibility for anyone interested. Clarian Health in Indianapolis is currently hiring nurses, including new grads. We have 3 major hospitals in Indy, including Methodist, IU, and Riley Children'...
Quite a few of my classmates, including myself, recently got jobs with Clarian Health in Indianapolis. Good starting pay, fairly low cost of living here. If you can handle snow and corn, it's a decent place to be.
"If only we can be sensitive to different backgrounds and occupations then we will understand that our relatives and friends don't have to be medics." Kind of on the same note, if we all could try to have a little less stick up our butts, we could sh...
llg, Thank you for your reply. One of my main reasons for lack of experience is that I really have been trying to dig myself out of a hole for years. I got married as a teen, had kids starting at 17 and have been trying to regain my identity after a...
I know this has been addressed many times in the forums before, but I can't seem to find a solid answer to what I'm looking for, so I'm posting in hopes someone can point me in the right direction. I am graduating in May with my ASN and would love to...
Nursing classes are tough. You have to be willing to commit a lot of time to studying, but A's are not impossible. My advice is to really learn the critical thinking skills from the very beginning. If you can grasp the pathophysiology of disease proc...
I don't remember which thread I saw it on, but there was recently a discussion about WIA contacts. I found a listing of all the contacts from different states. I'm sure it will be helpful to someone. http://www.doleta.gov/usworkforce/statecon.cfm
I saw a post on here before where someone had posted a pic of all white Nike Shox. I can't find that post to save my life!!!! Are these good shoes to buy? I recently bought a pair of Skechers but took them back and I want to get something that will b...
I haven't tried using it during a lecture before, but when I rewrite my notes, I put them into OneNote. I'm not using the program to it's full capacity but I love it.

I haven't researched it myself, but I was told by someone starting the program that Med Tech will soon be accredited. Just out of curiosity, what are your grades for the other 3 prereqs for Ivy Tech? A B will not automatically exclude you because i...
I went over my max time frame this year so I've lost all my funding. Depending on the area you live, and how close you are to graduation, you might look into your local career center and ask about Workforce Investment Act funds. It goes by income and...
