    So far so good, I'm more than happy with my decision to do their program.

    Thank you for your input, gave me some things to consider.
  3. single mom with 1 yr old

    Exactly, you're not an expert on traveling NOR on nursing. Okay let me specify, I realize I left it open by asking about daycare in general-- replies from nurse travelers please.
  4. single mom with 1 yr old

    Considering traveling (OR nurse), would need to take 1 year old. Is this even possible? I don't expect any agency to just hand me child care, but are any agencies at least sympathetic? Ie, would tell me specific area of assignment so I could try t...
  5. University of South Alabama NP program

    I am about to finish my first semester at USA (RN with BS in other field--> MSN/NP ). I was pleased. I cut way back on work (only work few times/month to stay on payroll) and I have an 8 month old. Might sound easier than full time work and ful...
  6. University South Alabama MSN Applicants Spring 2014

    Soonergirl- I haven't gotten in and I'm wondering how we are supposed to find these modules we have to do and test on prior to Jan 16th webinar??? The message they sent from the dean says they have due dates but I can't find them anywhere.

  9. OR orientee.. Feeling like an idiot

    Stocking rooms and restocking supplies in the sterile core are great ways to learn where stuff is. Also do outdates. Hang in there, it doesn't happen over night and no one was born knowing how to do their job. And knowing where something is isn't ...
  10. Does anyone else experience pain from standing all day?

    I wear compression socks from the sock aisle in the grocery store- to aid circulation. I'm 32 and I get terrible low back pain and all kinds of foot pains but it is much improved since I switched from 12s to 10s. I rotate several pairs of shoes- n...
  11. Advice pls, next step in education

    I'm in the same boat too! I have a BS, an ADN, and I'm wrapping up my first year on the job. I want more and I started on my BSN but its so much un-usable theory that I quite. i figure if I'm going to make the effort, i should go further and get a...
  12. What to expect by obtaining my MSN\MPH?

    THanks wanderingmistrel, might take you up on thhat. Wasy our MPH online? UFs program is for public health practice...no specialization for online. But its such a good school. The others I could specialize.
  13. What to expect by obtaining my MSN\MPH?

    I've been an OR nurse for almost a year and am considering an MPH. I'm limited to distance learning options- no ground campus near me. But UNC, UF, and Nova have online programs. Do hospitals have a need for RNs with MPHs? I started working on my...
  14. I'm in my first year as a nurse. I work in a busy OR. I like it but I think I can do more, especially intellectually. I'm a quick study and a responsible employee- my supervisors love me and consider me a rising star. I have at least another year...
  15. RN in the OR?

    I've been circulating for 9 months and have wondered the same thing. I went to nursing school and now I spend my day pushing heavy things (stretchers, equipment, patients), opening things, plugging things in, taking things out, and putting things aw...
