   Oh, one more thing - the best online source for local news, classifieds and activities in the area is: Knox County Village Soup.

2. Moving to Maine

   coastalcattery replied to kaufer01's topic in Maine

   I think coming from Wisconsin you'll do fine for winter! The coast is a little milder than inland. I love the 4 seasons. The nice part is summer - it's cooler right here on the coast, and breezy. I didn't even put in AC this past summer. There were a...

3. Moving to Maine

   coastalcattery replied to kaufer01's topic in Maine

   That's where I live! It's a beautiful town. I assume you have been here to interview for the job? Rockland is far enough in to Maine that you'll really hear the accent and see the culture. It is definitely a working fishing town. Plan on driving a wa...

   Bring your camera, because it's beautiful - and bring your appetite, the seafood is fresh and delicious! What part of Maine are you coming to?

5. Scrubs - what do you wear?

   coastalcattery replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I like the solid color with contrasting trim from Urbane scrubs, they also have a nice cut to them, very slightly fitted and not too long.

6. Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

   coastalcattery replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Relations

   Just because you're in the parking lot at 0700 does not mean you're "on time". Why do you insist on first lunch and then always leave late for it, resulting in e everyone's lunch starting late? In no setting is it okay to give a supp, put the pt on a...

7. Diabetic care in corrections.

   coastalcattery replied to coastalcattery's topic in Correctional

   Neats, well said. I agree with you 100%.

8. Are you going to work tommorow in the big storm?

   coastalcattery replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

   I don't call out for weather. I plan ahead. The same ones call out, and the same ones show up. There is always people who come from farther away then the ones who call out. And if it happens to be my day off, don't even bother calling me - unless you...

9. Scrubs: MOBB, Dickies, other favourites??

   coastalcattery replied to joanna73's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Urbane scrubs - I like the cut and length of the tops. I believe they're made by Landau.

10. When did you know that Nursing was the right path for you?

    coastalcattery replied to LRyder's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest with you I knew when I was 5 yrs old. It was always what I wanted to do. In the '60's there was a show called "Dr.'s At Work", (I think that was the name), and I was fascinated with medical stuff. Then when I was maybe 10 or so I found t...

11. Safety of Jail Rn with no deputys or guards?

    coastalcattery replied to T -Dog's topic in Correctional

    Wow! I can't believe they have you do these things w/o a C.O. present. I have 5 yrs working in county jails, this would be unheard of! Unsafe for you and a security risk for the facility. I'm curious - how big of a facility is it?

    I was just thinking of you - today's your day! After you get all ready for day 1 of your first nurse job take a picture of yourself, 20 yrs from now you'll cherish that photo! Again, best of luck.
