  1. boyfriend with cardiac problems

    Hi, I need some expert advice. I have met a guy thru online dating and he is having some cardiac problems. I need some advice about the nature/severity of his issues before I jump into a relationship. We are both in early 50's, exercise, no smoking, ...
  2. Time between graduation & NP job

    Thx for suggestions. There are no RNs at this practice office as far as I can see. I really don't want to go back to the place where I've worked as an RN -- it's really gone downhill -- I think I will look for PRN work.
  3. Time between graduation & NP job

    Hi all -- I graduate in a few months as a PMHNP and have started the job search. I interviewed for a private practice job in an office that takes insurance & found out that it takes at least 3 months to become credentialed with the insurance com...
  4. Eating Disorders

    Thanks, Palemoon, I've been in your shoes & you put my thoughts into words so well. Treat me as a PERSON with an illness, not some freak with an "I don't really think it's an illness" thing going on.
  5. sex in the work place...really?

    At the psych hospital I work per diem, two of the young adults were caught 69'ing. Every single person in the facility knew about it by the next day. The sick thing is, the next time I was on that unit, the guy (patient) was mentioning it in conversa...
  6. home health in austin

    Can you say more about sps in austin?
  7. The Lowdown on Austin Hospitals

    ITA. I get $45 an hour now for weekend per diem work, some of the nurses I work with are getting $50 an hour days per diem at Overlook, a large NJ hospital near here. It will be an adjustment but SOOOOOO worth it. I'd choose Austin over NJ any day.
  8. Info on Austin State Hospital

    That's exactly the info I was looking for. Actually, I would prefer to work part-time so it sounds like I'll be able to do that. And maybe even day shift! That's great news. thanks!
  9. Info on Austin State Hospital

    Can anyone fill me in on how the Austin State Hospital (psych) hires nurses? We are moving to Texas in June and I currently work at a state psych hospital here in NJ. I see that ASH has a permanent job listing for nurses & states that they will h...
  10. The Lowdown on Austin Hospitals

    Thanks for those posts. That gives me lots of ideas. I just got a special gig at the Psych hospital doing all their wound care, so I'll be able to put that on my resume too. I hope I'll be able to move into a specialty area. I'm growing a little tire...
  11. The "woes" of 12 hr. Shifts

    I agree, there are pro's and con's. I combine the best of both worlds: I work the Baylor program part-time, just Sat./Sun. and do 12's. Then I work per diem on Mon. and Tues. somewhere else and do 8's. I am always home on school nights for my kids. W...
  12. The Lowdown on Austin Hospitals

    OP here, I just wanted to give this a bump. We are leaning towards sending my kids to St. Andrew's school so looking at homes in that area, which is close to several hospitals. Looks to me like my big choices are Seton and St. David's, and Dell Child...
  13. The Lowdown on Austin Hospitals

    My husband is being transferred to Austin, and I couldn't be more thrilled. I am originally from there many years ago. Anyway, can someone fill me in on the hospitals to work at in Austin. I have 2 years med-surg and 1 year of per-diem psych at a sta...
  14. Where to buy scrubs in NJ?

    Once you get your sizes straight, I would recommend ordering online from AllHeart.com. They have a HUGE selection and some great sales. I have gotten tops -- stylish ones -- for less than $10. And they often will email me coupons.
  15. What do I say to rude patients?

    It amazes me how unrealistic some patients are about how much attention they should receive. We are not their personal assistants, sent there to hold their hand and listen for an hour about how tough it is to be sick in the hospital. A man in his 50'...
