Hi Guys! I wanted to share a quick tip with new nurses. Straight out of school we do not get paid much, but once you have at least 1 yr experience under your belt, apply for full time prn positions ( yes, some of these positions have benefits because...

Exactly!! I applied for my first prn job after a year for supplement income. At that time, I was not sure what to expect. As a new grad I was thinking, "ok, with only one year I'll probably be offered $3.00 top more than I make now".. I was getting p...

I feel at home. I walk in everyday with a smile on my face and know I made the right decision for my career. From the physicians to environmental services, everyone is very pleasant and acknowledges each other. I have not had patient care experience...

I'm starting at $24.68 with $3.50 night diff, and $3.00 weekend diff.

No I did not know anyone. I applied, interviewed, and was offered a position a couple days later. How is the job hunt going?

Whatever you feel comfortable doing go for it. The manager is a sweet woman. Did you ever get to interview?

I read a lot of post saying things like, "intermediate care has you running around all shift, it's hard etc etc." Now what I want to ask is, what is truly hard and what are people exaggerating. I have worked on a medical step down unit as a tech and ...

Grady is hiring as well. You are experienced, so I am sure they would extend you a offer if they like how you interview :)

Hey, if you received a call why would you need to speak to the director on tomorrow? ?

Well congrats are in order! What study aid are you using?

22-24 dollars. Depending on the hospital you work for.

If you have a strong customer service back ground, have a degree in another area, etc it can help your chances too. I am pretty sure there are people who are hired without hospital experience. When did you graduate?

I think they may still be hiring for ICU. When do you test?

I do not have my schedule for the third week yet. I'll be sure to let you know when I find out. I am really excited. Now of course Will there be days I do not feel like working? Of course, that's with any job. But the experience I gain cannot be matc...

Awwww! You remembered! Thank you dear. Nervous, excited, happy... I am just a ball of emotions. I am ready to learn a lot and to save so I can buy a nice home for my daughter and I. I'll let you know how my first day goes. :-)

Hello. I have an interview Thursday at Grady on a telemetry/intermediate care floor? Just wanted some insight on the interview process. Thanks.

Good luck. I graduated in May. I have a ADN. I was offered a position at Grady... telemetry. I only have 11 months experience as a tech ( I worked at Dekalb not Grady) and I did not know anyone on the inside! From when I applied to when I was offere...

From what I have read on the American Heart associate website, potassium channel blockers treats abnormal rhythms while calcium channel Blockers treat tachycardia. They both are pretty much used for the same purpose but work differently to achieve th...

Thank you for the advice. I can already tell that she was a kind person. I loved the vibe on the unit and everyone seemed to get along professionally. May I ask you a question. Do you know the usual pt ratio as well as acuity on the unit? And are we ...
