Well they said they mailed me a letter concerning "deficiencies" last week and to follow the letters intructions to "properly" complete the app. I have been 100% honest and concise. I have no clue what they want. This is such a joke. No wonder there ...

I am so glad I'm not alone on this. I passed NCLEX Dec 5th, applied for reciprocity for my Texas lic. on Jan 15th, STILL have not been granted a Ga. lic. going on 6 weeks now. I'm tired of working as a medic. Everything in this state is slow.

Try Grady. I have had a few lpn offers from some ED's in the metro Atl. but I've been a medic for 10years and they took that into consideration. As far as LTC goes I've found that they pay better than hospital positions. I've been offered anywhere fr...

I dont know if LTC is your thing but they all seem to be hiring LPN's. I'm working as a medic while waiting for my Ga. lic. and I go to lots and lots of facilities and have been made a few job offers on the spot in the 18$ to 20$ an hour range. It he...

I thought that there was only one nurse so I assumed the workload was heavy. it's good to hear that you have some help. I'm used to Govt employment, part of the appeal for me. I'll continue to do more research. Thanks again for the replies.

......I have worked with "volleys" many times over the years and the one thing that stands out is how willing they were to help, and how genuine there concern for others seemed. As a paid medic/firefighter we place a lot of emphasis on training and t...

I'm considering it. It seems to be a somewhat difficult position to get. How are the bennies?. Is it a depressing place to work? Stress level?. Thanks!!

I recently graduated from the US Army practical nurse course. Half of our rotations were at Eisenhower army medical center and the other half were at MCG with some VA rotations thrown in here and there. I would say that MCG was a good experience, but...

I assume thats male nurses for male inmates and female nurses for female inmates?. A friend also said that his corrections system in Fla. is looking specifically for male nurses. ( for obvious reasons ). How is it in the Gwinnett system? Thanks.

At least I'm not the only one lol!. Anyway, I have a Texas LVN lic. that I submitted first week of Jan. Last week got e-mail saying they received it but it had to go to review because I got busted for drinking underage. ( 20 years ago! ) Dont know ho...

As a new LPN?. Has anyone managed to do this?. From what I gather it's very difficult to get ER positions as LPN's. Do you think my years as a medic would have any pull?. I plan on going on to get my RN with the goal of working ER, I'm just impatient...

Thanks for the advice studytime, I'm sorry you are one of the victims of this decision which will only serve to worsen the shortage in Ga. Goodluck to you.

Hey everyone. Sorry for the vague thread title, but I'm meeting with an advisor tommorow and wanted to know where I could find out which online/distance learning programs are honored in Ga. I already know about Excelsior being a no-go...that sucks. A...

I spoke to a rep from Indiana state university today and their distance program through the college network looks good and is honored in Ga.

I'm a new LPN looking to get my RN ASAP for a commission in the military, more specifically, my ADN. I was really planning on doing this online as much as possible. From the looks of it I may have to spent a considerable amount of time in a brick and...

Greetings to all! Ga. native here ( N.E. Atlanta ) brand new graduate of US Army nursing school ( reservist ) looking forward to networking and learning! HAPPY NEWYEAR!

I should probably mention that I'm an Army reservist just in case anyone was confused about that.:)

I know what you mean! In school my transition to practice area was the ER at Eisenhower medical center and I spent almost a month there. not to mention that the Army uses their lpn's in ICU and forward surgical teams overseas. oh well, I will try to ...

Ok, I'm running into some roadblocks getting my Texas lic. transfered to Georgia. I cant get anyone on the phone, and the Ga. board of nurses website is confusing. I'm a brand new lpn and would like to find a job. Thank you. :)

Thanks to all especially silverdragon, that is exactly what I was looking for!:)

Thanks for moving this, was not sure where to post. Anyhow, I need to know if the reciprocity needs to be done online, if i need to mail a specific form in, or go to a certain office. Im a brand new lpn so this is all uncharted waters to me. Thanks a...

Thanks for the replies. I live in the Atlanta area so hopefully I can find some leads.:)

I'm a new graduate of the 68WM6 course. I've been a civilian EMT-intermediate for 10 years before going to Ft. Sam Houston for combat medic school. I fast tracked the EMT-B part of it and went directly to TCCC, then went to Eisenhower Army medical ce...
