2. Too old for school nursing??

   emadore replied to rnbran's topic in School

   I completely understand how you feel. Yes, Ageism is a big problem (in Canada at least) in hospitals. I am an ICU/ER Nurse and I am 56. I will also have to work until I am about 70. I have often thought about doing the school Nurse thing. I thin...

3. Robin Williams RIP: Coping Mechanism?

   emadore replied to aspiration's topic in Psychiatric

   I don't think he was bipolar. I don't think being a Comedian means you are bipolar. Having said that, some antidepressants can make you very manic. What you see on the outside is rarely what is happening on the inside. I think people in this lin...

7. travel nursing with a dog

   emadore replied to Creamsoda's topic in Travel

   Crating your dog is not cruel. It's actually safer. They don't like it at first but eventually it becomes "their room" and they love it. They'll go in there on their own. They also get used to the 12 hour shifts. I always put a pad in the kennel ...

8. Austin, Dallas & Houston: Which City is Best for RNS?

   emadore replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Travel

   If you are planning to settle in one of these cities, I would stay away from Dallas because all of their hospitals are "connected". If you have a bad experience with one, it is shared with every other hospital in the city. It's like one big corpora...

9. Waiting to Travel?

   emadore replied to NYCNurse2016's topic in Travel

   @NYCNurse I believe I understand your question. You know you have to do some hospital work before you hit the road as a traveler. What can you do to get ready. Am I right? These are my suggestions to you: 1. Do 1 year on Med/Surg (not just Med. ...

10. Nursing in Saudi Arabia

    emadore replied to Yoddie's topic in Travel

    I live in Canada and I know a lot of Nurses who have gone to Saudi Arabia and loved it +++. They did make a lot of money because it was not taxed here or there. Enough money to come back here and pay cash for their houses which start at $500,000 pl...

11. Alaska travel nursing!!

    emadore replied to krazenurse's topic in Travel

    I'm looking at Alaska in the future as well. I've been there before and it is definitely a unique environment. I loved all that sun in the summer. Big giant mosquitoes but who cared - all that sun! I want to spend the dark winter there once so I ...

    emadore replied to ewrn's topic in Travel

    @NedRN, I read in another comment that you have been traveling for 18 years. Bravo! You're my inspiration today because I see it can be done! So, if you don't mind my asking, what agencies do you work for?

    emadore replied to emadore's topic in Travel

    Thank you Vampy :) I'm curious - are you a Nursing Student? I always wondered what kind of situation Nurses were in when they lived in hotels like this but it sounds doable for sure!
