1. Any advice for smoking/non-smoking relationship?

   thetravellertoplaces replied to thetravellertoplaces's topic in Stress 101

   Well she has talked about quitting before the wedding. We actually do want kids in the future. The thing that is going to make everything so hard is that our families are on almost opposite ends of the spectrum. Mine is very fundamental and conventio...

2. Any advice for smoking/non-smoking relationship?

   thetravellertoplaces replied to thetravellertoplaces's topic in Stress 101

   Yeah when she smokes, i don't stand right in the immediate vicinity. As much as possible i try do avoid it, every single time she goes out for a smoke i don't, but there are times when i am needed. However i still have to distance myself at least a f...

3. Any advice for smoking/non-smoking relationship?

   thetravellertoplaces posted a topic in Stress 101

   I am in the best relationship of my life and soon to be married, however the one thing that really is a barrier between us is smoking. I've never smoked, and she's smoked for about 20 years. She's not a real heavy smoker, but more of a stress smoker ...

4. Anyone in the Monroe area?

   thetravellertoplaces replied to thetravellertoplaces's topic in Washington

   They do, but they are paying for it so I think you have to be an employee. The NAC is the CNA, just words switched around. After I get the CNA training I would definitely like to work at Valley General. Marysville is quite a drive it seems. I didn't ...

   I'm working at Regency in Monroe at the moment, waiting until the next NAC training to take, again. I commute from Gold Bar. Such a pretty drive.

6. Nurses Missions to Africa

   thetravellertoplaces replied to nipa's topic in General Nursing

   I'm just getting into nursing so it'll be a couple years for my RN, but I'd love to be a part of it when the time came. I am in the U.S. but I've always wanted to go and serve in Africa, and that is partially what got me into nursing too. Nipa, I rea...

8. Any males working in Pediatric Med/Surg or PICU?

   thetravellertoplaces replied to Lericalpoet's topic in Men

   It is great to here some of your guy's stories about this. I'm still a newbie to nursing but I know I want to do Pediatrics, yes I'm a male. The responses I've got have generally been the "I could never do that" type, which I don't understand because...

9. Anyone sporting a beard?

   thetravellertoplaces replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men

   I haven't had that short of hair since middle school. (still in college) I think I look way better with long hair. So I'm one of those guys with long hair that only trims it every once in a while. Depending on my mood sometimes I grow a full goatee o...

11. Are You Man Enough to Be a Nurse?

    thetravellertoplaces replied to Raymond CA's topic in Men

    Yes, very awesome to hear it come out of Oregon! Yay Oregon! The thing that I wonder about this is that it might get people thinking the only men that do go into nursing are the hardcore men, a sort of swapping to the other end of the spectrum. In wa...

    thetravellertoplaces replied to johny1's topic in Men

    well i'm not quite 6 feet but i am over 200. Women i know are surprised at how i am so sensitive, but still remain my usual male self. Everyone who knows me well and who i've told i'm going to be a nurse, always comment that i'd be great for it. To m...

13. Travel Nursing...

    thetravellertoplaces replied to DreamCastle's topic in General Nursing

    I hear some of you talking about traveling, but most of you are mainly talking nationally. Anyone have lots of global experience? Honestly going to another state doesn't mean that much to me, i'm more talking other countries. To add to it, i really d...

14. Womens interest in male nurses

    thetravellertoplaces replied to johny1's topic in Men

    Well i'm gotta say this topic has been helpful to me. I'm a 19 year old male nursing student and am not one that wants to spend my life alone. I take a sort of pride that i am getting into a mostly female occupation. For one I've always been the type...

15. Travel Nursing...

    thetravellertoplaces replied to DreamCastle's topic in General Nursing

    I'm nearly brand new to nursing, this was my first semester, but being a travelling nurse is something that really interests me. I have years before I can really consider it, and a lot to learn, but I love different languages and cultures. There's ju...
