    BusyMomRN replied to chendamoni's topic in Georgia Nursing

    BusyMomRN replied to chendamoni's topic in Georgia Nursing

    JG2010, the only change that is not shown is that you can wear blue bottoms with the blue top. So now we can wear a white dress (unlikely for me), all white, all blue, or white bottoms/blue top. Most...

    BusyMomRN replied to chendamoni's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The appropriate response to your question is probably 12-15 hours. The actual answer for me varies from 4 to 12 hours. Very few hours during regular weeks and cramming like crazy for a few days before...

    BusyMomRN replied to chendamoni's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thinking back, I believe we had our schedules a week or so before orientation, maybe a little earlier. It's only been a few months and you'd think I'd remember that detail but so much has happened...

    BusyMomRN replied to chendamoni's topic in Georgia Nursing
