1. On Call Questions

   pa_rn2012 posted a topic in Hospice

   I'm trying to figure out if being a 7 on 7 off on call hospice nurse would benefit me more than being an RNCM and I have a ton of questions. Right now as an RNCM we get paid salary for our work week and then extra for just being on-call and we get p...

   pa_rn2012 posted a topic in Hospice

   I'm trying to find out if anyone can recommend a good end of life doula certification program. I've found a couple websites online but I don't want to waste my time or money on a program that is mediocre at best. Some of the sites I've seen include...

   Hi there. I'm an INFP. I've struggled with finding my niche in nursing since day one. I've read more than once being a nurse is not a good career choice for INFPs and yet here we are in the field of nursing. I started off on a PCU (step down tele...

   I'm going to have to do a lot more research on becoming a diabetic educator in order to make an informed decision. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks all.

   Of course its in the very early stages but I'm looking into something along the lines of teaching or patient education. Maybe with nutrition or another area. I'm having a difficult time trying to find a demand where I live for this sort of thing. ...

13. Help - Need A Meaningful Job

    pa_rn2012 replied to pa_rn2012's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe that mentality at all. Self fulfillment is an important part of life to me. If someone is unhappy with their line of work or their job or their life in general, they should make an effort to change it and move onto whatever makes th...

14. Help - Need A Meaningful Job

    pa_rn2012 replied to pa_rn2012's topic in General Nursing

    I'll definitely look into hospice as a possibility. I feel very passionately that if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. I know other people think that work is work and its never going to be fulfilling or a wonderful experience ...
