  1. Anyone Worked @ Piedmont in ATL???

    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...
  2. Atlanta Hospitals Hiring new RN Graduates

    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
  3. er to ICU

    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...

    I work in Piedmont Er and Im sure that there are several openings right now. So I think you will hear something soon. Good
  5. NCLEX Results - When/How?

    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...
  6. Why do I hate this

    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...
  7. Tips for successful nursing preceptorship

    My suggestion would be for each student to have his/her own personal list of things you want to work on during your preceptorship and share this with your preceptor at the begining of clinicals. Also...
  8. Hurst vs. Sylvia Rayfield NCLEX Reviews

    I took Hurst Review and I loved it. I passed NCLEX on 1st time w/ 75 questions. The review is 4 days and covers med/surg, ob, and psych and you get a 5th day dvd that had mgmt/delegation and...

  10. NCLEX on Thursday 2/2

    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...
  11. 75 Questions...Last one wrong???Pass/Fail

    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...
  12. Graduating in May...

    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...
  13. Just took NCLEX - Advice?

    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...
  14. Just took NCLEX - Advice?

    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...
  15. May Grad...How soon is too soon for job app.?

    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...
  16. Will This Job Ever Get Better?

    Just out of curiosity what area do you work in? Maybe a change to a lower stress area (if such a place exists ) within the same hospital would help. That way you would still probably make the same...
  17. I know just how you feel. There is not one day when I go to work and some one does not say something like: You look like you should be in high school. And I am not even that young. I am 27 and when I...
  18. Life after graduation

    I feel the same way. It seems like everyone has their job lined up. We only have 4 weeks untill graduation. I am so excited to finally be here, but I feel like I am the only one who hasn't gotten my...
  19. What happen to taking Vital Signs???

    Its just not practical. I am a nursing student and I work as a tech. I know how to do manual vitals, and when I am at clinical with my 1 to 3 patients and all the time in the world I take them...
  20. Fear of Nursing and Bedside Care

    Hang in there. I am also getting ready to begin my last semester in 2 days. And I was in the same boat you are in. Previously I would get so nervous about clinicals that I wouldnt get any sleep the...
  21. Patient Care Tech Question

    I think it depends on where you work as to whether it is worth it or not to get your PCT. At one hospital I worked at PCT's and CNA's did the same job but PCT's got payed a little more money. But...
  22. ERI questions

    Our school does the ERI testing after each semester. The ERI also serves as our exit exam. You have to make the national average to graduate. From what the seniors in our class have told me, the ERI...
  23. stupid question? med-surg

    Our class meets in our University's clinical center where's there's patient simulators, heart and lung sound stuff etc. and also patients are seen there (I don't know if we will see these patients?)....
  24. Hi Georgia......

    I will be doing my preceptorship in the fall and based on what I have heard from others I would suggest :Emory, Crawford-Long, St. Josephs. It really depends on what area you are interested in also -...
  25. post-clinical day depression

    I felt the same way my first year of clinicals. I would not be able to sleep the night before, and after clinicals I felt down, even though nothing went wrong. I dont know what year in school you are...
