   sarena33 replied to Jell11220's topic in General Nursing

   I don't have children and have never had to deal with the childcare aspect of things, so I apologize if any of my ideas don't make sense for you. If I were in this position, I think I would find a way to create a relationship with the nursing staff a...

   sarena33 replied to sarena33's topic in NP

   Thank you for your response. The thought has crossed my mind on multiple occasions. Is there any benefit to reporting sooner rather than later? I don't want to burn any bridges and not have the option of asking them for a letter of recommendation w...

4. Already Burnt out

   sarena33 replied to sarena33's topic in NP

   Thank you for your response. I have definitely thought about attempting to get out of the contract. My concerns are that I'll burn bridges and not have their support in future job applications. Right now, I know the two physicians would write a go...

6. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

   sarena33 replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in NP

   I am in the exact same boat as you. I make REALLY good money working in the bay area as a travel nurse, I just graduated from NP school and I'm now looking for an NP job. The only difference for me is that I moved to California to be a travel nurse...

   Hello all, I have recently been contacted by a manager in a Cardiac Progressive Care Unit for a 3 month travel contract. The unit sounds exactly like the last unit I was working at in London, England. Similar setup, patient to nurse ratio, patien...

    sarena33 replied to sarena33's topic in Registration

    Newshark, I have a question about the 3 months of supervised practice that you say you're not required to do, but all other overseas nurses are. Continental informed me that I won't have to do the supervised practice either because I had already sen...

    sarena33 replied to sarena33's topic in Travel

    I had a feeling I'd get some comments about leaving my email. I've contemplated the risks, I can always block a sender, or if worse comes to worst, I'll delete my gmail account and make a new one. I completely agree that the forum format of the site ...
