  1. RN

    Marshall1 replied to Bertha17's topic in Georgia Nursing

    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...

  2. Atlanta nurses help!

    Marshall1 replied to AnnaliseR's topic in Nursing Career

    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...

  3. Doctors office job..think I made a mistake...

    Marshall1 posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    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...

  4. Out of nursing over a year...this stay at home mom thing just isn't for me!

    Marshall1 replied to MaiBee's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  5. Moving to Atlanta

    Marshall1 replied to BlackishKnight's topic in Georgia Nursing

    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...

  6. Possibly moving to Atlanta

    Marshall1 replied to Rew3n's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Atlanta itself is extremely crowded with traffic every day so if you don't want to live among a lot of people/traffic woes etc you may want to look outside of the area. New grads have opportunities...

  7. Colonscopy...won't say "never again" but..probably never again

    Marshall1 posted a topic in Gastroenterology

    Had colonoscopy 3 days ago..My scope was performed because of a family hx of colon ca and a positive hemoccult card - just one. In retrospect I should've requested to repeat the cards x 3 first. My...

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

    Marshall1 posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    I was curious if the wages are across the board low for RN's who work in health departments? For those of you who work in this area...do you feel the low salary is worth it? I understand there are...

  9. DaVita?

    Marshall1 replied to jennifernettle's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    There are many threads on here about Davita as well as reviews on monster.com and glassdoor.com...most are not positive..Davita has a high turn over - at least around where I live - a lot of the...

  10. Tattoos!

    Marshall1 replied to mmbucklerky's topic in General Students

    Very common around my area. Not a big deal if they are covered for most

  11. So torn between Nursing and Social Work... advice?

    Marshall1 replied to nybsn's topic in General Students

    Why not contact the school directly to ask about the med calc test requirements instead of making a decision on what you have heard and have no factual basis to make your decision

  12. Returning to the bedside..not such a good idea afterall

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am now in a M-F position (with Fridays being early days), no weekends, no holidays, no call, benefits, PTO, an hour for lunch (most of the time provided for us), able to use nursing skills and spend...

  13. Night Shift Impacting My Relationship

    Marshall1 replied to Newbody's topic in Health, Stress Management

    You are not responsible for her happiness nor is it your responsibility to entertain her. If she is not working - why? Going to school isn't a reason not to have a job...so either you are supporting...

  14. New Nurse on Paxil

    Marshall1 replied to elomi18's topic in Health, Stress Management

    This is my personal, non-medical opinion - try the medication - give it a few weeks - you can look up side effects online - you may or may not have them - there is only so far positive thinking,...

  15. Returning to the bedside..not such a good idea afterall

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I have secured a position outside of the hospital that will allow me to use my skills without the 13+ hours shifts and all the stress that goes with it. The relief I feel is enormous. I don't expect...

  16. Should I leave the ICU?

    Marshall1 replied to tachynut's topic in Health, Stress Management

    You can always remain PRN where you are while you move into a different flavor of nursing. A home health agency would scoop you up in a heartbeat w/your experience...while home health isn't without...

  17. New Grad RN job offer !

    Marshall1 replied to JollyGreenGiant's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    No harm in asking - worst case is they say

  18. Help choosing-Home Health or Dialysis?

    Marshall1 replied to JennyMac's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Read through other posts and research about Fresenius, Davita and others. The hours are extremely long which is why the burn out rate is so high, turn over is high and they are always hiring. Many...

  19. Outrage at low pay in FL

    Marshall1 replied to enigma2441's topic in Florida Nursing

    I use to live/work in Florida and the pay in Florida is what the pay is in the South overall..MANY nurses from the West Coast or the North are shocked at the difference..there are no unions except for...

  20. RN Starbucks side job?

    Marshall1 replied to borninaugust30's topic in General Nursing

    Not insane at all...if you can work it out and it makes you happy why

  21. It's not my job to pray with you.

    Marshall1 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You chose a school knowing that religion was a HUGE part of it...prestigious or not...so to complain about the religious aspect when you knew going in it had a Cathedral etc seems a bit absurd. If you...

  22. How do you leave it at work?

    Marshall1 replied to Newbie_RN17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Red Kryptonite, CNA: Yes, 1000 time over what you

  23. Will my anxiety get in the way of becoming a nurse?

    Marshall1 replied to jmillerbtec's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Yes, it's possible but you will, as others have posted, need support such as non-pharmacological and possibly pharmacological means to help you. You are not the first, nor will you be the last nurse...

  24. Nurses, how do you view your job?

    Marshall1 replied to 8*P23J's topic in General Nursing

    ThePrincessBride, BSN, RN - I agree with you 1000 percent...I will would also like to add new nurses (a year or less) are by and large going to view nursing MUCH differently than they will in 5 years,...

  25. Preemployment drug screen

    Marshall1 replied to Gc738315's topic in New York Nursing

    No judgement..but..I'm surprised you were surprised about a drug screen - maybe employers - not just hospitals - require them now & are performing them at interview or close to the interview. You...
