    Take job for less money but more potential happiness?

    Hoosier_RN replied to AnaLong's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Believe me, happiness is worth that slight money loss. If it were 30grand a year, I could see your hesitancy. You will learn to rebudget. You will get raises. You may be able to pick up OT. Go for it!...

    How to Answer a Patient Who Asks: "Does God Exist?"

    Hoosier_RN replied to S.I.C.'s topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I once had a patient ask me that when I was working hospice. I asked her what she thought. Her answer was yes. I told her that her answer was the only answer that mattered. It helped. She passed...

    I know you really want acutes, but it seems you're having a hard time. Try a LTACH. They always seem to hire, you will still use acute skills, but in a broader long term setting range. It'll build...

    Job offer from one employer but not ONE I was hoping for

    Hoosier_RN replied to Jordanmedical's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How long do you have to consider the offer? I would take it, then if offered your dream job, graciously bow out of the first offer. It happens all of the time. Now, once you start working at the job,...

    Not Getting Paid Overtime. Is This Illegal?
