1. The Men in OB Debate: Help!

   Two4theroad replied to jay_prn's topic in General Nursing

   Your passion will shine through! Best wishes to you, and as you grow in your career, NP might be a possibility, you never know! Women choose male OB GYN physicians, I'm sure working with a male nurse would be the same! Have fun!

2. offered med oncology, no experience

   Two4theroad replied to blue26's topic in Travel

   My two cents, you should never be asked to hang chemo as a non-certified nurse (chemo certification is a long class). Two certified nurses are supposed to hang and check chemo agents. However, some PO chemo can be given by non-certified nurses. Be...

3. Housing yourself.......

   Two4theroad replied to Cpf9's topic in Travel

   I have to agree with Ned (as usual!) I am on my second assignment, my first was short term so the agency set me up with extended stay, which was fine, but for this one I toyed with the idea of finding my own. Ended up going with agency housing, incr...

4. Share your packing routine and tips

   Two4theroad replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

   Sadly, I'm a crafter. Sewing machine, Cricut, tons of paper, stamps, ink. Too expensive to buy each time, but hard on the body lugging this stuff up to my second floor apartment! That being said, does anyone ship items to their next assignment? I...

5. first day

   Two4theroad replied to acern72's topic in Travel

   NedRN, I think I'm finally getting the hang of looking at the ENTIRE compensation package to gauge how I'm doing. I've become more than satisfied with my hourly rate and benefits after understanding how to factor all of that in, mostly thanks to the...

6. New Orleans Travel RNs - Help!

   Two4theroad replied to nicoled787's topic in Travel

   I did! I'm still trying to find time to get a few more posts in! Maybe one more after this? Yesterday was orientation, so maybe now I'll get my schedule. Stay tuned for a PM :)

7. Am I just clueless here?

   Two4theroad replied to mlane12's topic in Travel

   Is the missed break/missed or late meal thing exclusive to California? I'm thinking it must be a union requirement?

8. Enjoying my first travel assignment in Hawaii!

   Two4theroad replied to MsConstrued's topic in Travel

   Thanks so much! I'm a photographer in my "spare time" and I'm looking forward to this assignment, my second, as it's longer and will give me more time to settle into a place and begin my blog again. It's such a lovely perk of travel nursing, and I'...

9. Enjoying my first travel assignment in Hawaii!

   Two4theroad replied to MsConstrued's topic in Travel

   Did you post a link to your blog? I'd love to take a look, but can't find where it is? I have a facebook friend in Hawaii, and his photos quite often. Make my day! It's so uniquely beautiful there!

10. New Orleans Travel RNs - Help!

    Two4theroad replied to nicoled787's topic in Travel

    Ok, my turn to try to up my posts so I can PM you back! I'll get there soon! Then we need to have a coffee :)

11. Internet and Cable on the GO for Travelers

    Two4theroad replied to nicoled787's topic in Travel

    I logged on to ask this exact same question! I'm a Pinterest/Netflix addict, so I know I'll end up paying...thanks for the great advice and many options! I'm looking into those antenna things :)

12. New Orleans Travel RNs - Help!

    Two4theroad replied to nicoled787's topic in Travel

    Ha! I'm currently hanging with my sister in Texas, I'm between assignments, so I'm acclimating to the heat and humidity for sure! I've been through town a few times and am very excited about the location. I can't wait to get settled. Looks like a...

    I am! Are you enjoying it?

14. Anybody noticed weird restrictions on your nursing?

    Two4theroad replied to Bluebolt's topic in Travel

    Not necessarily on topic, but I have found that teaching hospitals place more restrictions on nursing practice and focus on the students, residents and interns. Not necessarily a bad thing, but after years in a community hospital, it was definitely...

15. Do I still need the AWHONN course if I already have my C-EFM?

    Two4theroad replied to perfexion's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree, the individual hospital probably sets their policy and some just want the AWHONN class. You don't have to take the certification for some systems, just have either Intermediate or Advanced AWHONN. I found out that to work in most Antepart...
