  1. How much are you working?

    I am working three 12's, taking two or three graduate classes a semester and have 3 children still left at home. The youngest is a three year old. I am at the end of my second year, half way there. I am totally overwhelmed and feeling burnt out. But ...
  2. Which specialty?

    The most important thing is to find a specialty that you will enjoy. And remember, most NICU's are located in larger cities, though not always. You are most likely not going to be in a romote area as a NICU nurse. It depends on what you like.
  3. Which specialty?

    I have been a NICU traveler for three years. I have had no problems finding assignments. My advice to you is to pick a specialty that you will enjoy.
  4. Does a travel position like THIS exist??

    Medical Solutions is posting a part time position right now for MO. Plus I know some people just work three to six months out of the year traveling and vacation or "retire" the rest. Faststaff is a great company to do that with. You can make enough ...
  5. nurse licensure compact

    For it!
  6. Go to Delphi Forums and check out the reviews of the different companies under the travel nursing forum. I am currently with RNNetwork and have no complaints. Compare the different companies and read your contract well. All companies are not equal...
  7. Introduction to Statistics Dilemma

    Thanks so much for the info on the classes. I haven't ordered my books yet. I'm going out of town on Wednesday for one week and didn't want them to come while I am gone. I guess I need to call and see how quickly they will come. I would like to order...

    So sorry about your health. I hope everything works out. We'll have to stay in touch. I am starting the PNP program at Mizzou this fall. I elected to take the Statistics class the first semester. I'm very nervous about the whole thing. I'm goin...
  9. water or ns

    When I was trained at a NICU they said never flush the NG tube with water, always use air. Now I am working at a CICU where because of the drugs, sometimes it is necessary to flush. So I figured, since they said never give a baby water, that it wou...
  10. Want to relocate

    I graduated about 5 yrs ago from Southeast Missouri State University. I enjoyed the school and the program. We only had two clinical days per week. I had six kids still at home when I went through. I did fine. Good Luck!
  11. Want to relocate

    Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, MO I believe is cheaper than the St. Louis schools. Small town though.
  12. Tax information for travelers

    From what I have heard: As far as the fed gov is concerned, you can stay in one area for 365 days and still have it be considered a temp position. Calif may consider you a resident after 6 mths though and require you to be taxed by the state as a re...
  13. Does anyone have small kids and travel?

    My husband does babysit. He had a part time job during one assignment that worked around my schedule. My 15 yo is homeschooled. My 13 yo was homeschooled but this assignment she is in public school. Not sure what I will do with her next year. De...

    I've worked for RNNetwork for a year and a half. Excellent ins., great housing, good pay, double time for overtime. No complaints.
  15. any thoughts?

    If I were you I would not look for another job. You will get by. Let your husband worry about the bills since it seems he's not going to be worrying about anything else. Get loans if you have to to pay for school and books, you are responsible for...
