I've searched the career advice section, and there really aren't many responses on that portion. I'm updating my resume. There is a 2 year span of unemployment. My husband transferred to another state for his job and we decided for me to stay at h...

I was a CNA before nursing school. Honestly, I don't know of anything to really prepare yourself as this is an entry level position unless your local hospital has 'transporters'. Then, what you mainly do is move patients from the ER to the floors o...

Best of Luck!

Baptist was hiring new grads. They have a great orientation/preceptor program. An added plus is that it is a teaching facility. Not to take away from Novant facilities, they are good too. It's just that you would probably have a better chance of...

Another plus is that you always have someone there that you don't mind calling @ 0300 for something petty, but has to have a MD order.

Thomasville as far as I know is not really hiring for nursing right now. Matter of fact, the Piedmont area Novant hospitals have really slowed with hiring and their use of agency staffing.

What I found most disturbing about this post was the response of the nurse manager the next a.m. :smackingf She seems quite charming. What happened to the days of nurse managers standing up for their staff? When I worked oncology, we had an unof...

The late fee runs April 1-June30, which is $75. After that, your license lapses. http://sos.georgia.gov/acrobat/PLB/13%20Fee%20Schedule.pdf

I got my first job 4 weeks after passing NCLEX. I applied in person and followed up with a phone call 1 week later. I'm not sure online resume posting is the way to go right now from everything I've been reading lately. If I were looking for a job...

I have a diploma. I guess it depends on what state that you are in. But in the end, yes, all that matters is that you're a LPN and are licensed by your state BON.

I now live in NC due to my husband transferring. I don't know how much experience you have and any 'stereotypes' you've had to deal with, but the Medical Center floor I worked on, I was considered a 'nurse' just like all there. Only thing we couldn...

There is also Central State Hospital in Milledgeville that uses lots of LPN's if you don't mind psych or prison nursing.

That is where I worked when living there. The Medical Center does hire LPN's. However, you may want to call their Human Resources. Recently they have laid off management and cut back on the use of agency nurses. Oconee Regional Hospital in Mille...

To help you out better, what area are you in?

Whatever you decide, good luck. I'm planning to start FTCC in the spring for the bridge program. If nothing else, you can work the 6 months and by the time the winter quarte rolls around again, you'll have it!

I've been a nurse for 6 years now. I work for Nursefinders. Some homecare agencies will hire new grads, but I do know that at Nursefinders here, you must have 1 year experience. Not only that, you want some experience under your belt so you feel s...

I'm sorry, didn't mean to depress you. HPC might be a great place to work now. I just know the approximately 10 nurses I've talked to left when their contract was up because there wasn't enough autonomy. Three have said that when things were runni...

exactly as i said, if it is like my surrounding states, and apparently western states aren't. in the state of nc and ga, you have to be certified as a ma to work as one. but like you, i would hate to take the pay cut. but, if there are no jobs, a ...

Usually @ least $10 more per hour. I work per diem @ the local hospital and make $15 more per hour than their staff LPN's, that's not including extra shiftdiff and weekend diff.

If that is stressful to you, then being an RN isn't your answer either, because it is basically the same. You should look at your local community college and see what programs that they offer in allied health. Good luck!

If California is like the states in this area, you cannot work as a phlebotomist or medical assistant. They each have their own training and certifications and also their own board exams. Not only that, even if you could find someone to hire you as...

Most facilities care about the patients, because that is where the money comes from. As far as caring about the employees, you may want to add a few more options to your list. I do not work there, nor have I ever. But, I have spoken to multiple nu...

I am not sure what area you are in, but in the Triad area, Forsyth Tech has a bridge program where you do not have to be employed. Davidson Community College at one time required that you were. Search your local community college websites. Under t...

Probably not the cheapest way, but a 'legit' way, contact your local American Heart Assoc. They offer the classes. Also, a local teaching hospital here offers ACLS certs, you just have to buy and read the book before attending the class. You might...

If you don't mind one on one, with quite sick patients many times, it might be right for you. But, that isn't my cup of tea. If I'm going to have someone go bad, I want the code team within close reach.:D I've also had contact with many that compl...
