I am a new grad NP in metro Atlanta, GA area and on average, if you haven't been doing much networking in school, it is tough to find a job. And in some cases, you find one but the compensation is terrible. I feel that it is a surplus in our area. Pe...

Thanks!! I'm extremely unhappy w/ floor nursing. I'm actually going back to school as we speak for FNP... I have to continue working the floor for another year until I graduate because of the flexibility. I dread going to work and add the stress of s...

Look at the problems associate with SLE and that should help with the nursing diagnoses. Since it is a systemic disease, it affects many other areas. Hope that helps a little.

I'm not sure what area u live in but Piedmont Henry is hiring

Knowing people and getting referrals are helpful. My hospital only hired a bunch of new grads recently but we r broke so we aren't hiring even though we are in dyer need of RN full time positions. But I'm on the south Atlanta side of town. I wish I c...

R u LPN or RN? The reason I ask is because I know several hospital that have stopped hiring LPNs.

I agree with the other posters. It does depend on the school. Many of the schools I've looked at when I was prepping for undergrad required a 2.7 or higher but because it was competitive, there was hardly any way to get in with that GPA. Many program...

Don't go South Atlanta!! Lol I hear Emory is really nice. I also hear Northside (North of Atlanta) is great but hard to get in. I can't really tell u rates but I've only heard positive things about those places.

@don1984.. That's great advice!!

Well I did Hurst and ATI review and pass the 1st time. I got 76 questions... But I did review and rational questions. It was one that had 3500 questions. I did them all. I'll pray that the next time you take it you pass. I wish I had some good advice...

When I started nursing 4 yrs ago, within 6mos, I had horrible heel pain!! Went to the doc and was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. He "prescribed" Asics. They were fine for 3 months with the help of steroid injections in both heels. Then the pain go...

I have 3 yrs of experience in Med Surg and I don't like Med Surg. I want to do other things too. Already accepted into grad school part time MSN FNP program. I plan on transferring off my floor to gain experience elsewhere while in grad school. So u ...

I would suggest you accept a position somewhere else first so you won't miss too much money.

If it was me I would change jobs if its that bad. U were only there for 2 seconds so I would just let it go and move on.

I live in GA, south of Atlanta making 22/hr. I have 2 yrs of experience and working in Med Surg. With shift diffs and wknd diffs, I make between $24.50-$28. I work 12 hr shifts 3-4 days a wk. This yr, I will gross around $55,000 but only bring home $...

Wow!! Where do u work? 40 bed general med Surg- RN 1:6; LPN 1:6; CNA 1:10-15( depending on staffing) we do all of our own admits (with RNs admitting LPN pts d/t "scope of practice" - GA law), D/c's, education, med recs, IVs, ect.. After 11p, there is...

Fantastic!!!

I don't personally have anything on my background but I know several new grads who did and still were able to get jobs. Just know that they will be watching u if they hire u. My job hired a nurse with DUI on her record and she was also hired at other...

I thought nursing was my dream job!!! lol I don't know what else I would do. I want a job that doesnt hurt my footsies as much!!! 1st yr of nursing and got plantar fasciitis!!(as I sit here at 4am icing my foot)... Now that I think about it, I would ...

I made so many mistakes when I was a new grad. It was just last yr. They reported because that have to. Just know you are human. This too shall pass. It is very scary as a new nurse. No matter what happens after this, it is now a lesson learned. As y...

Jewl!!!! I can definately relate!!! I've now made it over my first yr of nursing. I felt the same exact way you did after six months on the med-surg floor. I have survive b/c I don't quit too easy (definately wanted to). I cried all the way home some...

$21.43/hr + shift differential: $2.50 E, $3.00 N, +$2.50 wknds. Med/Surg in Georgia. I am 6 mos in (new grad May 2010) and happened to come in when it was time for annual eval and got a $0.14 raise. I have heard from other ppl I graduated with rangin...

i feel the exact same way! i have had reebok classics, nike shoxs, and now rockports, all worn with compression hose and recently dr. sholls insoles. as soon as i get off that 12 hour shift, all i can do is lay down. the fiance thinks i'm being lazy ...

I was a CNA before I became a nurse. I did CNA work for 3 yrs before I actually got into the program. I only did it for a little bit of money and my mom thought it would be good to get an understanding of their job so when I became a nurse I would un...
