  1. DMAT Disaster Teams

    Hi! Hoping someone can help me out. I have invested my career and education into working with disasters. I have been scouring USAJOBS and am on search notification lists --- for more than one year. I have not yet even seen a position posted. I'm not...
  2. Juggling Multiple PRN Jobs

    I'm interested in working exclusively PRN, but hoping to be able to work close to (or more than) full time equivalent hours. I need to be able to be off completely for ten days every month - thus, I need this sort of flexibility. Can anyone provide...
  3. Hi! I used to work with a nurse who has recently been fired and reported to the BON for suspicion of diverting. She has asked me to write a letter of reference to character for her to the BON. I strongly believe she is innocent of what she was accuse...
  4. I'm trying to choose a graduate degree program to go into.. But none of the 'traditional' nursing master/doctorate degrees particularly appeal to me at this point. What other specialties can you get into with a bachelor's in nursing? I.E. I've heard ...
  5. Ok-- I hope you all can help me with this! I am a PCU/ED nurse and my hospital very recently built and opened a psych transition/holding unit beside our ED. I was eager for a change and got one of the positions. First of all, I'm loving the job. Ps...
  6. Good Hours for Single Mom?

    What I meant by pick her up and drop her off---- I was thinking if I did something like the home health where I make my own schedule-- maybe I could intentionally not schedule visits when it is time to pick my daughter up so I could do that and drop ...
  7. Good Hours for Single Mom?

    That's the problem. Only have one living grandparent in the area, no other family. The grandparent that is here is getting dementia- and was watching her at night, but cannot any longer-- she recently caused my daughter to get a severe burn from scal...
  8. Good Hours for Single Mom?

    Hi! I've been working as charge nurse on a stepdown unit for 3 years on 12 hour nights. I'm suddenly in a very bad position with childcare for my 6 year old child. I have to find a new job, but the problem with days is that my daughter's school does ...
  9. Home Health for Single Moms??

    Hi, I'm in a bad situation currently working 12 hour nights with poor childcare for my 6 year old child. I have to find a solution. The problem with working days is that her school does not have a before or after school program, meaning I have to be ...
  10. Bizarre Case- Any guesses?

    Yeah, I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt since he said he was on the Suboxone ONLY at this point. Then again, when has a druggie patient ever been honest with me? Never. So..
  11. Bizarre Case- Any guesses?

    How would he get the endocarditis then? Just a result of the sepsis?
  12. Bizarre Case- Any guesses?

    Ok- so I found out a couple more details.. Apparently he had a history of IV drug use, but apparently was on the Suboxone for treatment from that. The docs decided he has some sort of infection in a heart valve, and he was flown to a bigger hospital....
  13. Bizarre Case- Any guesses?

    That's interesting. It makes sense in this scenario.. As far as I know, he did not shoot drugs-- then again, we were going off of his parent's word as he was unable to tell us much. So no telling.. Why in someone so young, would a UTI get to this po...
  14. Bizarre Case- Any guesses?

    LOL, well thanks anyways! Appreciate the effort~!
  15. Bizarre Case- Any guesses?

    I'll update if I find out the end result! He is definitely a very sick puppy. One of the sickest appearing patients I've seen.
