  1. Best Nursing Shoes/Sneakers

    Merrells! They are the most comfortable shoes ever. Try on different styles, though, becasue I have some I relly like (jungle moc and encore breeze) and others I don't.
  2. Do you donate blood?

    I donate regularly. I try to go every 8-10 weeks. Sometimes I am deferred for low hemoglobin, but if I remember to load up on iron rich foods in the week before I go I am OK. I have also been deferred for: an irregular heartbeat (side effect of med...
  3. Trying to make a decision...

    I am an RN with my BSN. I have been a nurse since Sept 2008. In Oct 2008 I worked for some flu shot clinics and then began working at an ATF (Adult Training Facility). This is basically a place where adults with mental health/ mental retardation c...
  4. Anyone Ever Worked a Flu Clinic?

    Yeah, I've done it. The only thing I would find out about is if you have to collect money from the patients. I did not and that made it relatively easy to do. I will be doing it again this fall.

  8. Should I apply for part time?

    I have my BSN and RN, and have only had them since September. I am working in Developmental Disabilities nursing right now, and while I enjoy what I do, I really feel like I need to get some hospital experience to keep up my clinical skills. Unfort...
  9. Ensure/ Boost/ Nutritional Supplements

    Thanks. I think I need to start that here.
  10. I work in a day program for I/DD adults. I am the only nurse on site and did not receive any formal training for my job- I just have been figuring it out as I go. I have updated the med logs based off the logs from last year, using the same format ...
  11. Working as an Independnet CPR/First Aid Instructor

    Also check out ashinstitute.org They are the American Safety and Health Institute and you can become an independent contractor through them. I know several employers who use that type of service for training their employees.
