RN-butnotinGA

Hello everyone A new law in Georgia passed July 1st 2008- House Bill 1041- will not allow any nurses who graduated from colleges not similar to or not less stringent (specifically clinicals) ie third world country nursing schools.) than Georgia nursing programs approved by the boards. They are also refusing RNs to endorse into their state from other states if they graduated from any nursing school they dont approve of (US or foreign) irrigardless of how many years ago they graduated or have worked as RNs. You Must Graduate from a school similar to or not less stringent than a nursing school approved by the GA Board of Nursing.

you will not be able to get an rn in the state of georgia. the law changed to say any graduate from a schooll not equal to or less stringent then georgia approved nursing schools cannot endorse. they say your clincal training is not as good as thiers

try 30:1 been working at what started as a LTC facility but has slowly changed to post acute care. they even changed the name of the place to match. they forget to change the number of staff. I have 2 cnas. talk about a nightmare. the trachs, IVs. and most on the unit are FULL CODES. and not stable. I will be applying at the hospital.
