  1. Home Health visits for mother/baby?

    Hi there, I'm a very indecisive second-degree-seeking pre-nursing student. I have awhile to figure things out, but one of the avenues I'm exploring is OB. I really decided to go back to school and become a nurse because of the birth of my son. I'd l...
  2. No gifts from the Drs???

    You're sense of entitlement is astounding.
  3. Average hourly pay for per diem agency RN?

    Hey Meriposa--I treid to PM you but your box is full! --Here is my question: "Honestly, I sometimes wonder if I wouldn't be better off in a float pool somewhere. There is a community hospital in the suburbs, 10 minutes from my house- they pay 35/hr f...
  4. Do we have a CHEM SP 09' thread yet?

    Do you mean like auditing a lecture?
  5. Do we have a CHEM SP 09' thread yet?

    bump! There's got to be more of us!
  6. I'm wondering about all of the different ways nurses can work a 40 hour week or a 20 hour week if you are part time. For instance, do you do a 12 hour shift each weekend with 2 8 hour shifts during the week, etc.? Does it vary week to week? Do you ge...
  7. Anyone have small children?

    You're right. Its a personal decision. Fortunately, I am in a position where I can put it off for a couple of years. I can't get that time back with my son while he's little, and I can afford not to work.
  8. Do we have a CHEM SP 09' thread yet?

    I'm pretty excited as this will be my first course on my path to becoming a nurse. I'm taking it online at AACC (my community college), but there is a lab on Thursday nights. Anyone else taking it this spring? I ordered my texts online ( A LOT cheap...
  9. Hi Shana! We're in a similar situation, and I've been doing a lot of research. I have a degree in another field and I'm a stay-at-home mom to a six month old little boy. I'm not assuming you know as little as I did when I first made the decision to p...
  10. A teaching hospital in my state offers a 12 month fellowship. Just wondering if you typically get paid or is it like an internship where you don't get paid?
  11. Did anyone take some courses before being admitted?

    Oh, crap. I just read here: http://nursing.umaryland.edu/programs/ms/non-degree.htm that you can only transfer in 6 graduate credits. Snap! Hmm. I wonder if they let you attend part time.
  12. I feel silly about asking, because it really is far down the line for me, but I wrote a post (it hasn't been posted yet for some reason?) last night asking about time commitment and CRNA school with young children in the mix. If I decide to pursue t...
  13. Tips for getting into ICU as a new grad?

    Is there anything I should do, or decisions I should make as a nursing student, that will help me find an ICU job as a new grad? There is a possibility that I may pursue being a CRNA down the road, but even if I don't, I think I would learn a lot and...
  14. Anyone have small children?

    I don't know. I'm reading the typical day thread, and I know its only temporary, but 2 years is a long time to live that way when your babies are little. I'd be basically going from a full time mom, to a part time student when my son gets to preschoo...
  15. What are the most/least popular jobs?

    What is a CRRN? Clearly, I fascinate you if you have to go look up my old posts.
