How does the RN certification work exactly? Is it only for the state you took the NCLEX-RN in? Or do you have the option of working in another state whenever you want? Do travel nurses have to take the exam in every state they want to work in?

I'm not bilingual, but I'm curious to know how often you actually have to speak Spanish while nursing in Atlanta, GA. Do they have interpreters at the hospitals or nursing homes? I'm sure they don't pay more if you're bilingual, but it makes a person...

Hello Everyone, I was filling out an application online today for a position working directly with the patients at one of the "Big Named" hospitals here in Atlanta, GA. Anyway, the application requires you to enter an email address for your previous...

I know that Medical College of Georgia had the Nurse Anesthesia Program before Mercer University. BUT...which is better now that Mercer University has the program?

Did you become a CCRN before CRNA? If so, how long did you work as a CCRN? Or did you do the minimum critical care requirement to get accepted into the MSA or CRNA program? Thank You :)

I don't really feel comfortable saying which hospital it is. I don't want to single them out. I tried putting unknown into the field, but I still wasn't allowed to proceed with the application process. I'll call their HR on Monday to hear what the...

Hello Carlyfo, I apologize for taking so long to post the list of job titles. I actually logged onto allnurses late one night, typed the whole list, and then accidentally deleted it. Needless to say, I was disappointed and too tired to type the list ...

I've seen the job posting you are referring to, and I honestly don't know where you take the WellStar course. BUT...Nursing Care Associate is another name for Patient Care Technician. At least that's one of about 20+ job titles my book from Special...

I too am a single parent. You most certainly have to do what is best for you and your son. If you're going to have help with your son in Savannah, then the extra pre-reqs really shouldn't matter. It will be worth it...less stress while getting you...

Hello Georgia RNs, I am extremely interested in obtaining my ADN for many reasons. I already have an A.A.S. in another field, and I want to pay for my BSN in cash. I am avoiding student loans at all cost...been there done that. I found out about a...

What is the pay for dialysis PCTs like? Do they get paid more than "regular" PCTs? If so, why?

I recently applied for a CNA job at a nursing home. The application was 9-11 pages long and had to be filled out onsite. It was so thorough that giving them a resume would have been pointless. I'm new to the healthcare field, but I have taken care of...

I will be a CPCT as of July 30, 2010 when I take and pass my test. I went on an externship interview today for PCT because I'm at the end of my program. The interviewer liked me a lot, but said my resume was bad. I wasn't offended because I've use...

IckuRN thank you. I appreciate your honesty.

If you're still looking for a program, then let me suggest going through the WDA/WIA. That's the Workforce Development Agency off of Pollard Blvd in downtown Atlanta. If you are unemployed or underemployed, then you will qualify for assistance from...

Thanks Cherish I really appreciate that. I went to school today, and told the career development counselor what happened on my externship interview. I was told that more than 3 people reviewed my resume over the past few weeks. They all thought th...

Thanks for your help.

Hello Everyone, I am currently seeking employment at hospitals in the Atlanta area. There are many departments with my current position available. However, I have developed departmental and hospital preferences for many reasons. I'd like to work e...

I applied for Fall 2010 as a transfer student, and unfortunately for me they haven't received my transcripts yet. I don't know who's dropping the ball, but I won't get accepted for this term or get financial aid if they come too late. I have request...

I've known about tuition reimbursement for years now, and I later realized that there are other ways employers help their employees with getting a college education. You hear a lot about people getting jobs and the employer pays for them to go back t...

At this point, are there any "true" courtesy scholarships out there that still pay 100%?

Have you considered taking a test to get out of taking the class all together? Since you made an A the first time and you're that adamant about not taking the class again you might want to consider it. Talk with someone like your academic advisor abo...

When I first saw this thread, I thought it's a UTI just waiting to happen. But Depends, OMG! I never thought I'd see this response after joking around about seeing it on a t.v. show. Grey's Anatomy might be a little bit more realistic than I thought....
