  10. Opinions please!

    bagladyrn replied to mmw11's topic in General Nursing

  12. Opinions please!

    bagladyrn replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

  18. Age Discrimination in Nursing

    bagladyrn replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I seem to have found a niche with little to no ageism: travel nursing. There's no hiding my age, it's obvious from the length of my resume. All of my interviews are on the phone, so appearance isn't...

    bagladyrn replied to Postpartum RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    bagladyrn replied to hopemedsurg2picu's topic in General Nursing

  22. Resigning after new grad orientation

    bagladyrn replied to VenusRN001's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    From what I saw in your original post the dream job is in a different city than your current location. If this is so then the most politic way of resigning from your current position will be to tell...

    bagladyrn replied to OBigdog26's topic in Health, Stress Management

  24. What to do with car overnight on long drives

    bagladyrn replied to Lnr567's topic in Travel

    Yes, that was the point - it's very unlikely, not enough of a risk to preclude driving to a contract. Besides, the one breakin resulted in one of my better travel stories: the local PD melted part of...

    bagladyrn replied to Lnr567's topic in Travel
