   Hey everyone. I want to take the CCRN exam this coming summer and wanted to check in with those of you who are currently certified especialy those of you who recently passed the test. I have about 5 years high aquity ICU experience, 9 months IVR (tra...

2. Are your student loans freaking you out?

   11:11 replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Men

   Many of the NPs I know recieved their masters while working for a hospital or service that paid for their advanced education. Perhaps you might consider this route (if you havent already)? As far as entry level nurses attending ADN or BSN programs no...

5. Unemployment

   11:11 replied to 11:11's topic in Travel

   Medic, no you werent simply asking whether the down time was voluntary or not. The issue of "deserve" was placed in the equation by you. Like I said...Ive never filed for it before. Travelers I work with now suggested it so I wondered if it was a via...

6. Unemployment

   11:11 replied to 11:11's topic in Travel

   And no it isnt by choice. My company doesnt have any jobs in radiology anywhere though others are looking. And I have four mouths to feed other than my own. Since Ive been back from Iraq Ive only worked in radiology which means I havent worked in ICU...

7. Traveling Companies that hire new grads?

   11:11 replied to BROOK9960's topic in Travel

   This can easily be done, with a bonus and relocation too most likely. Traveling can be nice but it has its downsides too, things you cant and wont see coming unless you have a few years experience. Not to mention being a self starter in a sometimes n...

8. Unemployment

   11:11 posted a topic in Travel

   There will be a little time between my existing contract and the next one so it was suggested I file for unemployment. Any advice on this? Ive never collected before. Does one file in the state they worked, or reside and file taxes? Thanks-

9. Mail service

   11:11 replied to 11:11's topic in Travel

   I think I should requalify my question... Im referiing to mail services people use rather than a home mailing address. A Rad tech I work with uses a service as a mailing address which sends him his mail once a week or more if he wants. This way no ma...

    Can you experienced travelers comment on using mail services like Fedex etc, which ones you use, recommendations, pros and cons etc? Thanks

11. Radiology tech, vs Radiology Nurse??

    11:11 replied to wackyj2000's topic in Radiology

    The RT®'s I work with make over $30.00 per hour. They not only do the radiology part but also scrub in. Sometimes the RNs do it but mostly we monitor, chart, and do sedation-

12. What to do for RN/EMT-P?

    11:11 replied to tater.jake's topic in Men

    Demonsthenes, Congratulations for earning your ACLS. However I believe that after a short time you will realize how much you do not know as opposed to how well prepared you are to deal with all emergencies. ACLS just scratches the surface in my not s...

13. Are any of you guys as burned out as I am?

    11:11 replied to Germanicus's topic in Men

    I dont blame you for wanting out. Ive only been in this for about six years and Ive just about had it. Ive been in a few jobs myself having got into this later in life. Ive never met a more rude group of people. Im not sure what it is about nurses ov...

14. ICU nurses?

    11:11 replied to 2ndChance's topic in Agency

    This hasnt happened more than once or twice the year or so Ive worked agency but it really depends on your area. Around here some of the agency nurses talk of a dry period where quite a few of them had to hold staff jobs for awhile becuase things wer...

15. Finally on the floor!!

    11:11 replied to nelsRN's topic in Men

    Youll most likely feel "uncomfortable" for more than a few days. Ive heard of nurses that puked after shifts for months. That was never me and doesnt have to be you of course. If youre like anyone else youll most likey feel like you are not doing eno...
