  3. As a nurse will I be exposed to dead patients a lot?

    Marshall1 replied to Mrs.Davis's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on what area you work. A doctors office? Health Dept? Unless an emergency pops up - no. ICU and ER? Absolutely. And if you find nursing isn't for you, there is no shame is changing course....

  4. Family's responsiblity of taking care of older parents?

  6. Help Please = (

    Marshall1 replied to Kay_Jay's topic in Georgia Nursing

    You don't say whether you have a current Ga license or not..if you don't, that may be one reason. Another is a large portion of hospitals are moving away from hiring LPN's. If you haven't tried long...

  9. RN vs. BSN Bridge Program?

    Marshall1 replied to Amnesty's topic in Georgia Nursing

  10. Is Medication Aide/Tech Training Available in Georgia?

    Marshall1 replied to Jimmyd's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Marshall1 replied to GoosbyLPN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Marshall1 replied to antesignani's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Have you gone to the VA? Not to work but for the Vets to Work program..I can't comment how it works in Texas - though I know hospitals in San Antonio are hiring nurses..but I do know the Vets to Work...

  14. Can I include my parents in my health benefits at the hospital?

    Marshall1 replied to chariot's topic in General Nursing

    Ask the benefits dept. of the hospital you work at. Don't think you will be able to but ask

  15. Burned out and undecided

    Marshall1 replied to FeistyPiscesRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Marshall1 replied to Irene Wheeler's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Only advice I would like to give is: Go for the BSN - in the long run and with the way nursing is heading overall you are going to need it - in some facilites you do now even to be considered for...

    Marshall1 replied to Florencebyondthepale's topic in General Nursing

    Marshall1 replied to KRSLPN's topic in Government, Military

    Marshall1 replied to amie1169's topic in General Nursing
