1. California licensure endorsement verification

   Blur2713 replied to Kirstinalyce's topic in Travel

   I had the same issue with this. I sent a money order so I had no way of knowing when they recieved it. It takes an act of God to get through to talk to a real person. Every time I would call I would get a different story. One lady told me I should ha...

   Blur2713 replied to NurseNightOwl's topic in Florida

   I literally have been putting off my FL license for a month after I received my finger print cards in the mail because it was so confusing. Just found this and completed everything in 2 hours. I'm in California now and found a fieldprint location and...

3. Thinking of doing a travel assignment in Burlington, VT. Thought?

   Blur2713 replied to JCorleyL15's topic in Travel

   I just left there! I worked in psych and loved it. They have low staff to patient ratios. In psych it was 1:3. From October- April they have snow... lots of snow. Thats why I left, I do not like cold weather or snow. Very nice hospital, one of the be...

4. What car do you have?

   Blur2713 replied to Blur2713's topic in Travel

   These are all great suggestions. I really wanted an Infiniti coupe but am looking around more before making a decision. I think the most important factors will be good gas mileage and space. A great, loud audio system is a must. Thanks for all that ...

5. What car do you have?

   Blur2713 posted a topic in Travel

   I'm going to be buying a used car in the next few months. I have a 2003 mustang that is terrible on gas with 147,000 miles on it. I'm scared it wont make it from Vermont to California. So my question is what would y'all recommend? I always seem to l...

6. Tattoos and unique shoes?

   Blur2713 replied to Blur2713's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for all who responded. My tattoos have worked in my favor with the population I work with. I work in psych, with kids and adults. Many of the kids would open up to me because they said I looked less "motherly and someone who is relatable." I a...

7. Tattoos and unique shoes?

   Blur2713 replied to Blur2713's topic in General Nursing

   I also have several dansko shoes that are funky, such as the green python and a houndstooth print pair. A co-worker said they were not professional and I should have a solid black pair. I like my funky shoes and my pts do too!

8. Tattoos and unique shoes?

   Blur2713 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Times are changing, tattoos are all over the place. I have heard a lot of talk about them "not being professional." What exactly does a "professional nurse" look like anyway? What makes someone with a tattoo look not professional? What if a nurse has...

9. What's considered "Job-Hopping" in nursing?

   Blur2713 replied to Nola009's topic in Professionalism

   I've been a nurse almost 6 years. I've had over 12 jobs, all in the same area. I'm a traveler now. My philosophy is if you are not happy or a better opportunity comes along...go for it. I have never been turned down a job that I really wanted due to ...

10. question about "cutters"

    Blur2713 replied to sarasmith805's topic in Psychiatric

    I have been a psych nurse for 5 years now. I also was a cutter in my younger years and my arm was covered in scars. I eventually got a sleeve (tattoo) because I got tired of looking at it. Personally, I feel my scars/tattoos add to my story. My patie...
