  1. Postive THC random test

    Pegasus65 replied to RN117's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you do not smoke on a regular basis you may not even test positive. It depends on many factors including body fat content, how much you had, how much thc content the marijuana had, and how many...

  2. Are There Jobs for Inexperienced RNs Besides Floor Nursing?

    Pegasus65 replied to jack1971's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can totally identify with what you just said. The entire time I worked at the hospital I felt like the proverbial "running pill pusher." It was basically, "take this and bye." Then we won't even go...

  3. Are There Jobs for Inexperienced RNs Besides Floor Nursing?

    Pegasus65 replied to jack1971's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I spent a year and a half on a hospital floor. I hated every minute of it. It's not for everyone and that doesn't make you a bad person OR a bad nurse. I tried my best to transfer to other floors to...

  4. Low nurse wages in Health Department - worth it?

    Pegasus65 replied to Marshall1's topic in Public, Community Health

    I have been working med surg for the past year and a half. Definitely not for me. I did some of my clinicals in the health department... really enjoyed it and decided to apply when some positions...

  5. CANT DECIDE.....

    Pegasus65 replied to Tanisha_PCA's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Go straight for the RN. I graduated LPN school in 2009. Unfortunately in my area, as in many other places, the jobs for LPNs are basically limited to LTC or clinics. While I have been told there are...

    Pegasus65 replied to Britmum's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I figured you weren't going to have much luck with the financial aid office. I am just going to cross my fingers and hope for the best. I did find one clinic around here that said they would do the...

    Hey no problem on the questions :) I called Dr. Echols .. they have an office at the end of Windsor Spring in Hephzibah and another office somewhere else in Augusta. I set up the appointment for the...

    Pegasus65 replied to Britmum's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Oh thanks for the info on the CVS clinic! I need to get that done also. I called one dentist office yesterday to find out about having the exam done and they wanted $274!! I am like are you crazy??...

    Pegasus65 replied to Britmum's topic in Georgia Nursing

    lwhit, I used the one on Windsor Spring Road. They are really nice and you don't have to wait a long time usually. It is $34 for the titers. They told me it usually takes approximately two weeks to...

    Pegasus65 replied to Britmum's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The packet has a checklist of things needed to be taken care of beforehand.. such as titers and immunizations required etc. I picked up my packet yesterday. They weren't ready then either, but Mrs....

    Pegasus65 replied to Britmum's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I truly do not think there is going to be a problem in sitting for the boards for a license in Georgia. In fact if you look at the approved nursing schools for GA on the GA BON's website you will see...

  12. Augusta Tech Fall 2012

    Pegasus65 replied to Britmum's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I also got accepted. I am going to go ahead and attend. I checked the GA BON website and the school is an approved nursing school for the state and has the "initial" accreditation and I am willing to...

  13. Augusta Tech Fall 2012

    Pegasus65 replied to Britmum's topic in Georgia Nursing

    It is my understanding that they had the initial accreditation and I know the GA BON has them listed as an approved nursing school for Georgia. However, for some reason they did not get the full...

  14. Augusta Tech Fall 2012

    Pegasus65 replied to Britmum's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Well, I just decided to call and see what they would tell me. The woman I spoke with sounded extremely frustrated to be asked if there was any information. She told me that all they had been told is...

  15. Augusta Tech Fall 2012

    Pegasus65 replied to Britmum's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Gosh, I should certainly hope so! I will need time to give my job notice as well as make certain other arrangements. I had no idea they were going to drag it out like this! I am still hopeful of...

  16. Augusta Tech Fall 2012

    Pegasus65 replied to Britmum's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I was also wondering if anyone had heard anything from the school? I know the folks that entered the 2011 class had already been notified by this time. I am pretty much starting to believe I didn't...

    Pegasus65 replied to Britmum's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Britmum, I sent you a PM. I was not able to see your entire post about calling the school. Think the site had difficulties or

  18. Augusta Tech Fall 2012

    Pegasus65 replied to Britmum's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I got a 134 on the PAX and frankly I was surprised I did that well. I have not taken chemistry or physics. It was pretty hard for me! I know a couple of other people who got like a 141 and I think a...

  19. Georgia License Denial-Clock Hours

    Pegasus65 replied to adajoy588's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You have my heartfelt sympathy at having to deal with the GA BON! I don't know exactly how they will deal with your situation, I can only tell you they are extremely hard to deal with and move at a...

  20. Working in methadone clinic

    Pegasus65 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could give me some information on what it is like working in a methadone clinic as a LPN? There is currently a position available near me that is 20 hours a...

  21. methadone clinic..good 1st job?

    Pegasus65 replied to NurseNikkiC's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have worked in a methadone clinic since August of last year. Contrary to what many folks seem to think, not all of these folks who take methadone are "hard core" drug addicts. A large number of them...

  22. One month too many in LTC

    Pegasus65 replied to SunnyRose's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ditto... exactly my experience with BOTH LTC facilities I tried... and one of them was "supposed" to be a "wonderful" place. I will never work in LTC again. I currently work in a methadone clinic....

  23. do you have Private Health Insurance??

    Pegasus65 replied to Trubie's topic in General Nursing

    Gosh I couldn't help but wonder if this was the same company that my employment uses lol. I actually applied for a part-time job and was planning on just getting some private insurance. However, they...

  24. new grad RN to med transcription to RN?

    Pegasus65 replied to brighteyesRN's topic in Nursing Career

    It is very hard to break into medical transcription. I went to school for that several years ago before I became a LPN. Jobs are far and few between and most of them want experience, which you can't...

  25. Any other LPN's find LTC too much to deal with?

    Pegasus65 replied to cardiacnurse34's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Cardiacnurse I concur with every statement you made about LTC. I also tried two facilities (32 residents at one and 33 at the other) and found both to be totally overwhelming. We were expected to do...
