My advice is to protect yourself & others by calling in sick or requesting Cancellation. It's hard to care for patients when you are not feeling well. Don't set yourself up by going in sick & spreading a virus to patients & coworkers. Explain that you have a virus to your staffing coordinator/Lead RN. Good Luck to you. Wishing You A Safe & Speedy Recovery.

Hello Texas Nurses! I am a 60+ RN, who has been living in San Diego since 1992. I am considering retiring to the Houston Suburbs within the next few years. The High Cost of Living, Homeless Population, Illegals pouring in on a daily basis, High Taxes & Expensive Housing are the main reasons I'm ready to leave California. I also want to buy a New Construction 1 Story Home in Sugarland, Pearland, Friendswood, Richmond or any nice suburb; which is affordable, close to shopping, restaurants hospitals and medical facilities. I'm considering working Part-Time/Per-Diem to supplement my Social Security. I'm looking for something low Stress & Not Crazy Busy. Can anyone recommend facilities/hospitals suitable for someone in my age group? I am a NOC Shift Nurse, & prefer to continue working Nights. What type of facilities/hospitals can you recommend? Also, what facilities/hospitals do you not recommend? What is the Texas Medical Center like to receive care, and what is it like to work there? I'm considering Houston, Texas, R/T Affordable Beautiful Housing, Tax Friendly State, Affordabilty & It Being A Foodie Paradise! I Love Homestyle Country Cooking, Southern Cuisine & Cracker Barrel. Also, let me know what other suburbs are good choices to live. I'm ready to hear it all; Whether it be the Good, Bad or Ugly! LOL! Please Be Honest & Keep It Real. All Advice, Opinions & Replies Are Welcome. Thanks In Advance.
