   If I wasn't sick with a GI bug, I think I definitely would based off your enthusiasm alone! :) I can do the email thing from here and not risk getting sick or making others sick. I appreciate the words of encouragement, because you are right, out o...

   I can do Internet stalking! Haha I suppose my hesitancy lies in that I don't want to cross boundaries, and I don't want to interrupt people since I don't know what their schedule is. Thanks for the tips! And, any suggestions for connections or if an...

   Another question, since I'm new to the area, how would I go about approaching nursing managers? I feel as if having worked on the clinical floor previously is the main way to do that, and I have no clinical experience here. My CNA is still active b...

   cmh918 replied to westfall520's topic in Colorado

   I'm experiencing that now... moved here so I don't have the hospital connections I did in nursing school. Was going to PM you but I can't in my profile (guess I haven't posted enough). I was always told not to approach NM, and that it was improper e...

   The cost of living here is 2-3x greater than what my home state is; and the nurses pay doesn't get any higher. I've seen starting pay as high as $27, but most are about $25 or lower from what I've read (no experience myself there). I moved here right...
