1. Remote, Nationwide, Flexible, etc

   adio replied to adio's topic in Job Hunt

   Amber, I wanted a full-time job that would allow me to use more of my skills as well as allow me more time with patients, getting to know them. I enjoyed the traveling (when my car was still running well), getting to meet all kinds of new people, st...

2. Remote, Nationwide, Flexible, etc

   adio replied to adio's topic in Job Hunt

   Thanks! I try to stay positive. Some people on this site are great. Others not so much. Just like anywhere else online (or in the real world for that matter)! haha

3. Remote, Nationwide, Flexible, etc

   adio replied to adio's topic in Job Hunt

   I'm actually working FT now in a clinic. But I have a list of other flexible employers. Keep in mind you may not be hired as an RN exactly. You may be a "health screener" or something of that nature. It's still within healthcare though and althou...

4. Future Diabetes educator

   adio replied to melayganda1's topic in Endocrine

   This would be a good place to start: http://www.ncbde.org/ It's the website for the National Certification Board for Diabetes Educators. While the entire website would be great to look over, the most important parts are here: http://www.ncbde.org/ce...

5. Amount of Mealtime Insulin, calculation question

   adio replied to adio's topic in Endocrine

   Thank you both for replying. To be honest, Justabitoff confused me even more so thanks CDEWannaBe for responding as well. I'm still learning these terms and how to apply them. I cleared things up this morning and I appreciate the book recommendatio...

6. Amount of Mealtime Insulin, calculation question

   adio posted a topic in Endocrine

   Please bear with me here. This is likely a stupid question, but it's crucial for me to understand this. Before a couple weeks ago I had never heard of Insulin to Carb Ratio (I:C, ICR) or Insulin Sensitivity Factor (ISF). I understand how to calcula...

7. How much is your degree costing you?

   adio replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

   Without scholarships, a little over $15000 for my last two years (BSN). With scholarships, closer to $9000. My first two years (community college) were completely covered by scholarships. So with fees, books, tuition, uniforms/supplies, it was onl...

8. New Grad RN still no job

   adio replied to annamee's topic in Job Hunt

   I volunteered for several months with a health education non-profit before landing a very nice (non hospital) job. Without the networking and experience I gained from my volunteer work, there's no way I could have gotten the job I did. If I hadn't ...

9. Pocket guides for DM oral meds

   adio replied to adio's topic in Endocrine

   I've also been making a ton of notecards to help me. Reading/writing/teaching others are the best ways I learn. Haven't started drawing diagrams though, that's a helpful suggestion. I think that as I get to know the providers and know which meds t...

10. Pocket guides for DM oral meds

    adio replied to adio's topic in Endocrine

    Thanks suz! I found a ton of info online. I'd just like a handy reference to carry around. If I can't find a free copy of the AACE's booklet, I'm going to get it for myself. Thanks for the links!

11. Pocket guides for DM oral meds

    adio posted a topic in Endocrine

    Hello everyone. I was just hired FT in a diabetes specialty clinic. I'm working with a team as a "diabetes educator" (not certified yet) and need some personal resources especially pocket guides. I'm okay on nutrition and exercise. Oral medication...

12. Relative new grad, possible clinic nurse manager (long)

    adio replied to adio's topic in Management

    Nothing? I'd really like some kind of feedback before my meeting next week. Anything, positive or negative, would be a big help to me.

13. Relative new grad, possible clinic nurse manager (long)

    adio posted a topic in Management

    Hello everyone. I am still a relative new grad with less than 6 months experience in outpatient settings (no inpatient). After applying to over 100 places, I've had 12 interviews and gotten a few prn/seasonal positions. So far, no guaranteed hours...

14. Remote, Nationwide, Flexible, etc

    adio replied to adio's topic in Job Hunt

    Thanks for the reply. To be honest, I have zero desire to ever work in a hospital. It goes against my personal philosophy of addressing the problem before there is a problem. Salary is not an issue. I know that community health, wellness and heal...

15. Remote, Nationwide, Flexible, etc

    adio replied to adio's topic in Job Hunt

    Just wanted to add, in case anyone else ever wants to know, I found another such business: Wellness Corporate Solutions Not really an RN position, but RNs would certainly qualify for their Biometric Screening Technician positions. With a bit of sup...
