  1. Been a while since I've posted on here but am needing feedback on a potential employer situation. Mid Jan I applied for a position & was interviewed. The interview went very well & I was told the position was mine ..they just needed the...
  2. I took all the above advice and late yesterday spoke to the hiring manager again. The position he was hoping to get approved upper leadership doesn't think right now is justifiable based on current business needs. It sounds like he was trying to wa...
  3. I have applied for a PRN position (hospital) - have the interview scheduled - was told I would interview with the Director - then, if she is interested, I would be asked back to "shadow" a nurse for a day, then come back a 3rd time to meet with other...
  4. VetPro credentialing question

    I have applied/interviewd and completed everything for a VA position. The last thing was VetPro...which was basically the exact same thing/items as I had already provided. My concern is the references which were called and now being mailed reference ...
  5. I left bedside nursing several years back (2009 to be exact)...in the past few months I decided that maybe it was time to return...I was wrong. The issues that plague and continue to plague the nursing profession (long shifts, short on staff, more an...
  6. Online ACLS certification?

    Has anyone done the online ACLS certification? There are some places offering 100% certification online...I need to get mine and every hospital w/in an hour of me classes are full until summer or they do not let non-employees take them. One of the nu...
  7. Move along folks..nothing to see here..
  8. Syringe driver terror

    Is this post for real? I'm beginning to wonder about some of the posts lately.."can I stay home and take care of my BF who has a patch on the back of his head" now this one..more and more this site seems to be drawing in either fakes/drama driven or ...
  9. Don't call in sick!

    Not all positions or employers will allow a LOA. It's a nice thought and would be great if it were an option all the time, but sadly, it isn't.
  10. I have been offered a position in a chronic dialysis clinic..I have never worked dialysis so I will be starting from the ground up in learning everything....anyway..the clinic runs 2 shifts, not located in nor affiliated with a hospital and not one o...
  11. Shepherd Center in Atlanta

    I have never worked there BUT I know several people who have and also several people who have been patients there. They ALL RAVE about it. It's "the" hospital for spinal injuries, etc. Has an excellent reputation in and around ATL.
  12. Would You do This Commute?

    I just accepted a PRN position at a hospital 50 miles (hour commute)from me. For me, at this time, the long days will be worth it as I will only work weekends which is what I wanted. My advice is to at least try the position - if you find it's too mu...
  13. I don't want to do this anymore

    Before going back to school for something else, especially since you don't know what else you would like to do, I would suggest another flavor of nursing or if you really enjoy LTC then another LTC facility. Don't judge all of them or make the assump...
  14. Possible Relocation from Indiana to Georgia

    You can look through posts in the GA forum about relocation..as far as rates - really depends on where you work/shift/experience/certifications, etc. You will also need a GA license before or at least show you have applied for a GA license as there ...
  15. Can't decide between two job offers..HELP

    Unless the hospital is paying for your education or repaying a student loan or giving you a bonus of some sort, I do not understand the benefit of signing a contract..what would the point be? To just ensure the hospital "owns" you for 24 months? I wo...
  16. Relocating from Florida to Georgia

    Take a look at Northside Hospital for L&D. Also North Fulton Hospital.
  17. Relocating from Florida to Georgia

    You will need to have your Ga license before applying to any positions..I relocated from FL to GA as well..regardless of what you read/hear, nurses are plenty around GA so by and large employers are not willing to wait for someone to get their licens...
  18. Starting nursing school at 37...

    Go for it!
  19. New Nurse Dealing With Depression?

    Having depression. BP or any other mental health issue doesn't make one "crazy" - it's an illness, a disease process and one that can reach a point where medical help is needed and necessary..be it therapy or medication or both. If your insurance doe...
  20. Discouraged nurse

    The only opinion that matters about what you get up and do each day for a living is YOURS. YOU are the one who is putting in the time/effort..if nursing were so easy that anyone could do it there wouldn't be the need for nurses that there is. The maj...
  21. Night shift + debilitating depression

    You have to take care of you first and foremost - especially with the mental health issues you deal with. It's obvious from your post that night shift just does not work for you and exacerbates your mental health struggles. If you can't get on day sh...
  22. Debilitating Anxiety

    It sounds like you may need to revisit medication. Even if short term. For wanting to work part time you may need to look at home health, private duty or similar positions. LTC would be another option. Also, if you haven't had a physical with complet...
  23. Need help..hate my job :(

    Maybe look into home health or hospice (though call is usually required)..you can go ahead and begin applying other places and depending on your hospitals policy, to other units there maybe. If you want completely out of the hospital setting look to ...
  24. Urology clinc

    I can't tell from how your post is worded if you are asking about a urology floor in a hospital or a urology clinic - MD office..there would not be any admissions in an MD office. I worked in a urology clinic for a multi-MD practice...the day was usu...
  25. Vetpro and E-qip - more than once?

    If Vetpro and E-qip have been completed in the past, would they be required again? I have worked for the VA in the past and am considering applying for a PRN/PT position for extra income. I read somewhere, I thought on here but can't locate the post,...
