   I have been offered a job in a rehab unit at a local hospital but can't decide if I should take it. I have 6 months in med Surg but am scared I won't get enough experience in rehab. Any thoughts?

   They hire ADN but one hospital just announced its closing so right now I'm sure those being let go will get the jobs at the other hospitals. I graduated in December with ADN and everyone has jobs in Shreveport/Bossier at many diff hospitals.

   Husband is home 2 weeks of every month (gone 2 weeks), so I am either working or asleep when he is home since I now work nights. If he worked Monday-Friday it would interfere but I don't think it will much since I will have 4 days off/week and see hi...

    JUST got off orientation and will be the only RN. I have told them I do not feel it is safe nor do I feel comfortable, only to be met with jokes about "sink or swim". I don't even really know what I'm doing at this point so how can I make these decis...
