The VA where i'm employed- I was hired on an open interview day. I applied and interviewed on the same day( practically promised the job too). 2 weeks later I was offered the job officially via a call from HR and 2 weeks after that I was sitting in o...

AWOL is absent without leave. You get AWOL for not not calling in for your tour to ask for leave; you also get it from taking time off (SL; CB) without accrued leave available to apply.

One comes to mind- Clinical Nurse Leader. I think what your friend is speaking of is what is offered here http://www.mcg.edu/son/cnl.htm for students with a bachelor's degree in some other discipline than nursing. The following link shows the prereq...

RN pay may not be significantly different but it probably will be. I believe that University is excellent to their nurses as a whole without regard to title. The VA (the only union hospital) takes care of their RN's. The union is strong and you will...

MCG is the Trauma center. University Hospital is the best as far as I'm concerned. Don't forget about the VA medical Center and Eisenhower at Ft. Gordon. All of the hospitals are offering bonuses for select specialties. I work at the VA, right now Me...

I don't have this problem because there is a nurse downstairs who can handle these things while i'm on pill call. If it's just a regular check with no symptoms or not required before meds=they can wait. Otherwise, if they're feeling bad or complainin...

It really depends on where you work. I do pill call for the entire jail-alone. I have two pill calls HIV and diabetics and then a full pill call late before lights out. In between, I help with in processing of inmates in the jail. There is a RN who ...

i've worked for cms ad phs. it's really not so much the company than your direct supervisor/administrator is. at cms, my admin is crazy but she lets me do my thing. phs was cool too i have no complaints plus they weren't afraid to pay me my worth. i ...

Indiana State University's program is recognized by Georgia Board of Nursing. As others have stated, there is no way to determine whether it is an online class or not. You can receive your license via endorsement in Georgia if you have sat for any St...

The self defense class was kind of funny. Should you have one? Yes. Will you get one? Probably not. Some facilities are better than others at giving you some kind of course on the way of corrections and all you will need to know. Personally, I love ...

anyone heard anything about a proposal to give competent LPN's with 15 years experience their "RN" supposedly to help with the nursing shortage in Georgia? As I understand it, it would only be good in Georgia of course.

right now it's a proposal so it's not anything that can be done right now. if i hear anything else, i'll post it.

noc shift at my jail we do intake into the jail, make rounds on the medical unit, blood sugars and early am meds

where are you planning on relocating to first? If you go to opm.gov you will see the rate and also the OT rate. Shift diff and weekend diff should not have been no problem finding out... Send me a message and I can detail some of this for you, at wor...

Like Commuter, I also do well though I am married. Our wages are lower than most states. But cost is living is Low here. I have always been very good at commanding an above average salary just based on my experience, education, and certifications. ...

University is not the greatest place to work as an LPN but my blessing was a specialty floor. I've worked MCG as well and it's okay too. The VA you went to was the downtown division which is where human resources is so now that I think about it, it...

that's the only way. itake state board in a state that does and apply for endorsement in Ga.

Also, when did you speak to the recruiter, we've had a recent turnover in that department.

Well let me say first that Augusta has 2 VA's. You will find more flexibility uptown than downtown. There is no guarantee of straight day shift. You have to have a tour to rotate to. The thing is that you may never or very rarely have to rotate to it...

I've always told people that the relationship with security are the drawbacks of corrections

Hi fellow correctional nurse's. I'm having a hard time convincing a coworker of mine to stop making contact with an inmate. I've tried to explain to her that they can be manipulative and that she can lose her job. She said she came to me about it bec...

Well CST wannabe like I said it's not the norm. These relationships mostly end in a hot mess moreso for the nurse involved. I always tell newbies not to do this because it's not worth it.

Actually I have. I know a nurse that married an inmate after he was released. He had trouble finding decent paying jobs but he was very diligent. He was also frustrated. He worked a day labor place at this company and they liked him so much that the ...
