I cant really help w/ L&D M/B or NICU questions since I have never worked in these areas. But I did go through the ER residency program upon graduation, and can share some info about piedmont...
I found it was best to apply in person. Go to the HR office and ask to speak with a nurse recruiter. Almost all of the hospitals in atlanta have new grad residency

I am in the same situation. After graduating I worked about a year and a half in the ED, which I love most of the time. But I never quite feel comfortable with the critical patients. Thankfully we...
Georgia participates in quick results so, 2 business days after you take your boards you can check w/ pearson vue online or by phone to get your results. it takes 2-4 weeks for it to be posted on the...
Im sorry that you are having such a rough time, but it helps me a little to read these posts and see that I am not alone. Having a good preceptor can really make or break you. My problem right now is...

Just took the NCLEX this am. Since no one has anything positive to say after the test I am not going to talk about the test. I would just say for the day before your test stop studying and just...
Just try to keep a positive outlook. I am in the same boat. Also took NCLEX this am and I am in so much stress. I dont know how i will make it through the next 48hrs. All my friends and classmates...
My suggestion is not to wait. If you want to work in a "specialty area", many times they only will hire a limited number of new grads. I graduated in Dec. and waited until nov. to apply and caused...
The last question determining whether you pass/fail was also a myth. Because this can also be one of the pilot questions and not even count. The thing they emphasized to us was that you must get more...
I dont think that is anything to worry about. I just attended a week long NCLEX review course and on the last day they went over several "myths" about the NCLEX. One of the myths was that the computer...

Apply early! Don't make the same mistake I did. I just graduated in december 2005 and I did not begin to apply untill the begining of november thinking that with so many nursing jobs out there I would...
