Go to the interview..you have nothing to lose in checking out what they offer...depending..you can decide what works best for you/your family..if the infusion job is the choice, maybe you can remain PRN where you are now.

A coworker (non-nurse, very nice) said to me yesterday "Don't you feel guilty not working in a hospital? Don't you miss it, being a real nurse?" I politely explained to this person that "real" nurses come in many forms, it's just the environment an...

quazar, BSN YES, EXACLTY what you said - ditto!

I would say "Thank you, I'm flattered you thought of me but with my childcare and school responsibilities I am not able to accept the offer at this time." Honor or not, I agree w/some other posters..it sounds like she is looking to pass off some of h...

My only advice is to contact HR, like another poster said, about whether you are eligible for rehire or not. I too know someone who re-applied somewhere, interviewed twice, was offered the position AND accepted it only for it to be rescinded a few da...

What does YMMV mean?

I have worked in MD offices in the past..they are more stressful than a lot of nurses realize..most think of the M-F no weekend/holiday/nights/call but I can say that the culture/work environment and yes, the schedule, is not for me and I would not w...

Have you thought about contacting the person you interviewed with? Most HR dept are notorious for ignoring phone calls/emails..and often times the hiring manager is not aware of the delay/lack of communication..if you really want this position I woul...

I applied in Nov, interviewed in Dec, found out I was the candidate selected in Jan and began the "on boarding" process, received the formal offer in Feb and started in March. This was for an outpatient based clinic, not a VA hospital. Most of the co...

State of Georgia no longer sends hard copies of license unless you pay for and request them..all verification is done online. If your license is showing online at the BON site as active, you are good to go.

Not sure my post posted...anyway..the LTC where I live hire new grads - if that's the flavor of nursing you want, apply to those around you. I know several nurses who went straight from nursing school to LTC and never looked back.

Did you ever hear anything?

OP - were you able to work things out? I can't tell from all the posts if the position was rescinded or not..either way, did you ever reach out directly to the hiring manager? I have found (not in situations like this but others) that nursing recruit...

I'm curious as to why nurses work chronic dialysis units for the "big two" or anywhere else if the environment, etc. is so bad? It seems there are very, very few positive posts about this area of nursing...I realize for most a job is better than no j...

The chronic clinics here for 4 10's..I have no idea how the schedule would be set but like yours I know there are no Sundays/call/nights..I was contacted by one of them last week about a position..which was interesting because I had been thinking abo...

Thanks westieluv..I've been toying with the idea of moving into dialysis for years but to be honest, all the negative posts on here and other places had me re-think things..it sounds like nurses are working 12-16 hour shifts all the time. Where I liv...

I would simply tell them, if you haven't already, that your personal situation has changed and you very much want to stay employed there but need to move into a PRN status..that being said..you need to ask yourself if you can afford to go PRN? Do you...

Is this post for real?

This question came up earlier and I had no idea of the answer..if an employer requires a background check as part of employment for a position where the nurse would be working with patients/clients regardless of the setting (MD office, home health, e...

You can't register w/the Ga BON - you have to have to be licensed which means you would have to take the boards and pass. You post is a bit confusing..if you have a Ga license you can apply for any jobs..if you have only registered to take the boards...

What is the current base rate in the Atlanta area? Depends on your experience, degrees and area you are looking into working. Dept pf Labor web site can give you a good idea but most new grads are starting out around $25/26 in the area. What hospital...

I took a position in a doctors office a few months ago. While I don't have to get up early & the hours aren't bad, the distance isn't too far from my home, I realize this is not the type of nursing for me. What I was told during the interview the...

Working PRN and going to school online is definitely do-able. I did exactly that when working on my Masters. No problem at all. You are most likely not hearing back because you have been out of the work force for so long..at least where I live that i...

Most hospitals in the ATL area have their own dialysis nurses, the "big two" have their own clinics. They look at your degrees, number of years as an RN as well as certifications and if you have previous dialysis experience then look at the GA Dept o...
