  1. PLEASE don't do it!

    jamangel replied to jamangel's topic in Correctional

    It is a dumb move. Georgia doesn't have the same consequences I don't think. Normally, the facility "walks you out" and you're blacklisted from most corrctional facilities in that

  9. What is a proper orientation period for a new LPN?

    jamangel replied to alitak's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  16. Please help! LPN or RT???

    jamangel replied to Coloradogrl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Everyplace doesn't have a bridge. If a bridge is available then that's great. Also in my area, LPN jobs are few and far. When I first came out 10 years ago the pickings were plentiful but now there...

    jamangel replied to wisedome's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I live in Augusta and I can tell you that $18-20 is not accurate as a LPN new grad and you'll be lucky if you get it with 10 years experience. You can expect that much in ATL probably and working...

  24. Please help! LPN or RT???

    jamangel replied to Coloradogrl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You know I would suggest that you do RT which I believe is at least an Associates degree. At least you may have a good bit of that core out of the way and you can do RN afterwards. Personally, I...
