Hey no problem. I work in the Savannah location too. I work nights. It was the hardest decision that I've ever made. I didn't really like the two year commitment and I am not a big fan of long term acute care. I have good days and bad days. For the m...

At the particular select I work at, we do have a self scheduling.The person who does the schedule after everyone writes it in does a good job letting everyone get what they want or at least very close to it.I got exactly what I asked for last time.

Unfortunately they don't hire LPN's anymore. They are sending the LPN we have back to school for her RN degree. They are paying for it though. The one we have works 12 hours. I'm sorry I couldn't bring better news.

If you don't mind long term acute care it's a great place to work. Especially if you have great coworkers to work around. It's a lot of hard work. Most days you will be busy but some days are not so bad. The benefits are great(it just takes 90 days f...

Hey there. Honestly, the best shift to work is nights. Days are so crazy. I worked on days for 2 weeks during my orientation and knew nights would be better. U get more patients,5 to 6, as oppose to days, 4 to 5, but days r really crazy. I may be say...

Yeah it's only 2.50. Is it more at other places?

Okay. I'm glad. I just read my post and I hope I didn't scare you. It's not all bad. Just a lot of hard work. I for the most part enjoy it just get overwhelmed at times. But yes I am willing to answer any questions when you are ready.(If you are thin...

Starting pay for the one in Savannah GA is 22 an hour. The night diff is 2.50. If you work on Sat or Sun, you will get an extra 10 dollars added to your base pay. I hope this helps.

Hey. I hope I'm not too late. I currently work at the one in Savannah,GA. I'm a new grad(I graduated in December 2010) and I'll let you know my perspective. so far it is really overwhelming b/c it is so much to learn. As a new hire, we take a lot of ...

Opps. Sorry for responding so late. I hope I am not too late. Effingham County hospital are not hiring any new grads right now. The human resources said it is due to the fact that it is a small hospital that they need their nurses to be up and runnin...

I thought about doing that. The only reason I'm a little nervous about doing that is from what I have heard, it is hard to transfer from being an E-4 to a nurse. I really want to use my nursing degree to the full for my all patient but then again I r...

Hey ma'am. You are not too old to join. I believe the national guard requirement is 47 and reserves is 41 or 42. I'm trying to join myself cuz I've always wanted to. I'm ready for the challenge. I'm not afraid of deployments and hard work. Good luck ...

Hey there. I actually am not going to be taking the position at this time anymore due to time and unforeseen occurrences. But if I decide to go that route, I will keep you posted.

Thanks for that. It was just so discouraging to hear that from my friend who can't get out of the mental health field b/c the hospitals around here don't consider that real nursing skills. I hope their perception changes.

Hey there. Sorry for all those typos in my previous post. Yikes 2,000. That is a lot of applicants. If you do want to try and apply to Savannah there will be some openings at Memorial University Medical Center in March or April.(I'll make sure I PM y...

Hey there.What part of GA do you want to relocate to? I live in Savannah,Ga and let me tell you, this is not a great place for new graduate nurses. Memorial University Medical Center has a peds unit but they only accept 20 new grads out of 500 applic...

YAY! You got a job! I've heard horror stories of people getting into a mental health job and not being able to get out b/c most places don't consider that "real" nursing skills.Hopefully that won't happen to you. About going back for your BSN, I woul...

Hey calm down relax. She didn't ask to be criticize or be told she is in the wrong field. Now to your question. It can happen. My friend from nursing school got an 8-5 job mon-fri no holiday's no weekend's. She is a new grad. Depending on the area is...

I do see what you are saying. Working for whoever you want to is great so you won't be tide down, however if a person has a lot of student loan debt, then that may have to be put on hold. It sucks when you have to be tide down however, it's better to...

YAY! Congrats on how you passed. I'm going to suggest this to some of my colleagues! You are so awesome!

You have an awesome goal. I'm between travel nurse and military nurse. I just hate that Savannah is one of your choices and they suck as far as job offers but I'll keep you in formed about this hospital that hires new grads cuz they will have an open...

This is definitely a sensitive topic because of all the different views and you bring out good points. However it really is a shame to say that JW's can't be nurses b/c they are great nurses. I honestly don't agree with a lot of the comments saying t...

From my understanding it would be like your supporting blood transfusions. So in turn that would make one a hypocrite. It'll be like "So you won't spike the bag but you'll sign off on it?" See what I'm saying. In order for them to be total against bl...

Hey thanks for the question. It actually happened to me first hand. They asked if I wanted a blood transfusion and I refused because I hate receiving blood that is not my own. They told me I would die if I didn't get one and I was like you can just u...

I understand you. When you have a religion, you stick by it regardless of what anyone thinks. If someone doesn't agree with you, they will get over it. Patients are important and deserve the best care but if you don't feel comfortable because of reli...
