    ThatBLURN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    ThatBLURN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    ThatBLURN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    ThatBLURN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    ThatBLURN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    I want to thank everyone for all your suggestions! I have a lot more hope now. I just need to back away from the local travel nursing companies. I wasn't thinking about a lot of these options. A...

    ThatBLURN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    Truth! I just never thought of dialysis nursing. But if it's a foot in the door that puts me in an environment where I can have more time with patients. What is the culture like, from your...

    ThatBLURN replied to seeing123's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it would be a problem if you showed them your prescription. You can just take pics of the bottle on your phone. When they test, they might escalate the testing process to gc/ms which...

  15. I can't get a job!!

    ThatBLURN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    As I've told others, the risk of infection and bringing that back to my immunosuppressed dad is terrifying. I am also really burned out on working at a SNF. I thrive on more personal and in-depth...

    ThatBLURN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! Thank you!! I think we all have to make some hard decisions right now, but family always comes first. The home health frightens me a little because of complete autonomy. However, I see the...

    ThatBLURN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi LibraNurse27, I believe that to be true. The SNF I worked in was spectacular. I just don't want to back-peddle in my career. Plus, I've spent so much time doing that work and I'm worn out by it....

  23. Too strong of a personality?

    ThatBLURN replied to NICU_rn_bsn's topic in General Nursing

    "Strong nurse" is what you should focus on. Nurses can be jerks too. They probably see how strong of a nurse you are and it triggers them in some way (jealous because they weren't that way when they...

  24. I can't get a job!!

    ThatBLURN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I was being a bit dramatic. I've only talked to 2 recruiters and haven't applied to very many places. I was just frightened by the prospects (or lack thereof) for stable jobs instead of agency...

    ThatBLURN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing
