  1. Gift for Preceptor?

    Personally, I listened to my preceptor and how she joked about how she needed a fanny pack. After some thought, I decided to have a little fun and bought her a fanny pack. She could not stop laughing and enjoyed the humor behind the gift. Is she ...

  3. Did anyone judge you for being a male nurse?

    Answering the OP's question: Surprisingly, I have got nothing but awesome responses from diverse individuals about my choice to become a nurse. In my opinion the stereotype of nursing being only for females is slowly falling off the map. In the sou...

  6. Stethoscope covers OK for men?

    I had a Paramedic who covered the stethoscope with a paracord - military grade tied in a pattern like the survival bracelets you see. The only disadvantage is that you can't pull it off and wash it.

    NedRn, I also want to add that like yourself I am traveling to save so I can buy a house in cash at the end. Want to live debt-free baby! My goal is by the time I'm 30 (now 25), to buy a house in cash and settle somewhere and then take the next step...

    NedRN, Thanks for your advice. After reading your comment, I've come to realize that it may be a lost cause trying to explain the numbers behind the financial success with a Travel RN. Your absolutely right that crunching the numbers should not be ...

    I don't know what to do with myself. I'm going into my last semester in January and I am ready to start working! This winter break I have already read a good book "The Defining Decade by Dr. Meg Jay" which I believe is a must read for any 20somethi...
  13. How do you stay connected?

    I wanted some help and advice from those experienced in traveling on how you stay connected to the internet. As you know everything is done online, so how do you work with that convenience moving from assignment to assignment? I will primarily be t...
  14. Just saw the reality of getting into NP school

    I'd recommend networking. The grade scale does not have the same power as knowing the right people to get into the post-grad program. Look for opportunities to invest in your specialty or interest with committees and boards. Talk and get to know p...
