  1. Working at health dept with no ped experience?

    Weary1 posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    I am new to this site - another nurse suggested I come here and post to get feedback. I am interested in working in a county health department. I have plenty of adult health experience but I do not...

  2. Working for Gentiva

    Weary1 replied to escherner's topic in General Nursing

    Gentiva has a large presence where I work. I know someone who works in their home health section (they do hospice here too). She is paid per visit which was not something she was thrilled with (she...

  3. Interview tomorrow. Feel Rusty-haven't worked in a few years. Advice please.

    Weary1 replied to HetherV's topic in General Nursing

    Read about the practice - when it started, etc. Brush up on the MD's etc. Try to work the information into the conversation some how so they know you've taken the time to learn about them....

  4. Would you give up on this job?

    Weary1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I applied for and was interviewed for a job back in May. I was told I would hear something in about a week. I did & was tentatively offered the job pending background/drug test/reference check. I...

  5. Would you give up on this job?

    Weary1 replied to Weary1's topic in General Nursing

    I was offered the position...final offer: low salary (40K), but benefits and mileage..lots of driving (between 13 - 60 miles one way depending on client location) - more than initially indicated in...

  6. Not so sure about the job offer now...

    Weary1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was offered a M-F salaried plus mileage position. No weekend/holidays. The salary is low, 40K/ yr, mileage is 50 cents. Assessment skills are all that's required, nothing clinical such as...

  8. I got reported to HR

    Weary1 replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Depending on where the OP lives, using the term "momma" is not weird..many Southerns, myself included, use this verbiage when referring to our own parent or when talking to someone else about their...

  9. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    Weary1 replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The CNA and MA's and what they can/can't do seems to be a blurred line - at least where I live - some places allow them to do draw blood, do injections, remove (but not start) IV's, breathing...

  10. Thinking of leaving ED after 6 months

    Weary1 replied to NicoletheRN's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with some of the posts saying you should stay..you are fairly new as an RN but you are NOT new to nursing or healthcare. You sound mature and thoughtful..if the job doesn't fit you it...

    MA's are heavily used in MD offices in Georgia. Also, some hospitals and other settings employ them as well. Good

  12. Start a nursing career in Georgia

    Weary1 replied to california.soul's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Nursing schools are as tough to get into here in Georgia as any where else. The job market is lousy for nurses - especially new grads - BUT that doesn't mean you shouldn't try...CNA's and MA's are...

  13. anxious about Baker Act on record and seeking license ?

    Weary1 replied to robertfl's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't see how the Board would know about a Baker ACT (it is NOT the same as being arrested) nor any other hospitalization..though many on here may disagree, I would not volunteer any...

  14. Relocating to Atl

    Weary1 replied to Cococure's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The job market for nurses is TOUGH in Georgia..with an Associates and only 1 year it will be more difficult. He may have better success with home health or LTC. There are also many nursing agencies in...

  15. Would you give up on this job?

    Weary1 replied to Weary1's topic in General Nursing

    I was able to confirm with HR that the only hold up is my background check..which, according to HR, they have contacted the company that does the checks "several times with no response" I've decided...

  16. What else can be done with RN

    Weary1 replied to martymoose's topic in Health, Stress Management

    MD office, insurance company, home health coordinator (not patient care), hospice coordinator (not patient care), research nurse, school nurse, camp nurse, telephonic

  17. does every rn out there hate their job? sonography/x-ray tech instead?

    Weary1 replied to Bailando's topic in General Nursing

    Before spending the time and money, I'd suggest looking at ALL options - x-ray tech, etc. The Nuclear Med Tech make as much as RN's in the hospital I work at but work 8 hr shifts versus 12+. A good...
