Sorry for the brevity. ATL is ATLanta. Along similar lines of WI being WIsconsin. I do agree with the path you mention. Why not make money while pursuing the
I read yours and others posts about your experiences. You ended up with initial licensure in another state, and then wasn't able to endorse, right? The system our State has created, be it for those...
I know a couple of people in Georgia who are starting the precepted clinicals after completing the EC ASN. From what I hear, it's easier if you do it through the hospital where you are employed. Is...
Oh. Interesting. I'm in the ATL area and from what I've been seeing the trend here seems to be going in the opposite direction as that mentioned above. I've known a few new grads with ASN degrees who...

I didn't even know what an HBCU was until now. Seriously, I really don't think anyone would even consider that when making hiring decisions. If they did, then I wouldn't want to work there anyway. I...
I'm in the fire dept also. I've worked as an emergency nurse for several years and starting NP school in August. I'm 42. I still have twelve more years in the FD, so I guess I'll do both, as I don't...
