  1. Thinking of moving to Montana

    I was a Labor and Delivery nurse for 20 years in CA and now I work Hospice per diem. We are considering moving in the NW area of Montana,(Helena, Missoula, Kalispell areas). I am getting too old for Hospital work but really love Hospice. Not sure ...
  2. How does this sound?

    Thanks for the info. The reason I want to switch is: I lost my baby girl almost 6 years ago from a brain tumor and we had Hospice involved in her care. My dad died from Multiplemyeloma 12 years ago and we also had Hospice. It was great. It seems...
  3. How does this sound?

    I interviewed with a Hospice agency yesterday and just thought I would see what you all think. I am new, OB nurse for 20 years. They said I could train until I was comfortable before being on my own. Generally how long do you think this is on the ...

  8. Bradley Birth instructor equates nursing with 'maid service'

    I have been an L&D nurse for 18 years now. Prior to this I taught Lamaze classes and also had my second baby at home. So I am one of those nurses who can see both sides. I work really hard to accomodate my patients wishes and generally get alo...
  9. Wanting to make a change

    I have been a Labor and Delivery nurse for 18 years. I am really burning out in this field and need to make a change. My father had Hospice after he was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma about 12 years ago. I also lost my 8 wk old daughter 5 years ...
