Mine is a similar story. Lifestyle-wise, it was the best decision for my family as I was able to be home summers and the afterschool hours (at the time, I had two teens and a 10yo). Though I took a 20% pay cut, it was a much less stressful gig and...

Thanks for the feedback! Here in northern New England, as well, acute care settings would likely not hire a new grad as a per diem, but long term care absolutely would. Do you think LTC would possibility for per diem employment in NYC? LM NY, as ...
Hi, all! Daughter is a soon-to-be BSN (has been an LTC CNA for years) and planning a move to Brooklyn. What are the per diem nursing opportunities in Brooklyn for a new grad? She will also be pursuing arts-related professional interests, so won't...

Whether or not you are a dues-paying member of the Association, you are a member of the bargaining unit and already entitled to all the benefits in the teachers’ contract. I do recommend you join and pay dues, as the dues go toward supporting the wo...

CONGRATS to all who have heard!!!!! No email for my daughter yet-- She's an RN, DSH, tier 1, and greater than 200%, so I continue to pray! Her ap went in right before the deadline (still "under review")--I wonder if order of submission has anything t...
What's your school's practice when kids come in with too-large crutches, old orthopedic boots, braces, etc. --no MD visit-- that the parents want them to wear at school because "he sprained his ankle and I already had it at home and I'm not taking hi...

I recently asked my principal if we could enact a policy next year for Pre-K through grade 2 to have a change of clothes in their backpacks. The use of my clothes closet has gotten out of hand and I'm lucky if things are returned even 20% of the ti...

My daughter's application (we're both RNs) is now "under review." Last time we had checked it was still pending. The ap was submitted just a day or two short of the deadline.
A couple of local camps are interested in having me cover time off this season. What do your camps pay for RN sub coverage? I no longer have a camp-age child, so I can't look at that as a tangible benefit. I don't want to price myself out of the m...

Yes! You can do the ropes course, chat with the kids by the lake, try your hand at archery, and participate in Arts and Crafts! Though often, with time off, you just want to get away for awhile! I would often take off to a nearby resort-ish area ...
Is there already a thread for RNs waiting to hear about awards from the Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program? When I search, I can only find previous year's threads. https://www.benefits.gov/benefit/449
I interviewed for a HS position at the same time I was offered my current (elementary) position. The principal was very interested in how I would handle an assessment for substance abuse (drugs/alcohol) and the care/advice I'd give to pregnant teens...
