I can relate to what nurseforever30 was saying about begining not to enjoy her job. I work In a med/surg unit and the staffing is terrible, which burns the nurses we do have out. I love what I do, but hate where I work. My true love is working with children. When I graduated 2yrs ago everyone told me to get my med/surg experience and I can go anywhere after that, but now that I have that experience I find it is hard to get my foot in the door with working with kids. every place I have applied says they want someone with more experience. How am I suppose achieve experience if no one will give me a chance. Does anyone have any advice for a compassionate nurse who's first love is working with children? TchinnRn

Thank you for response. But I have a few more questions if you don't mind. 1. what do you have to do to get your licensing in different states? Take nclex again or fill out paperwork. 2. i'm a renter so would I have to store all my furniture. 3. Does some companies pay for health ins vs. you paying for it on your own if so how much is it usually?4. As far as mail how do you manage that do you have someone send it to you at the end of the month?5. what do you look for in choosing a comany. 6. what did you mean by evaluate the company contract and hosp. as I complete the job? Lastly what do you do about your bank account do you keep the same bank and how do keep up with the bills that you have traveling so much? Thank you so much for your time this is really helping me make a decision.

If anyone with any knowledge or experience would be willing to share it would be greatly appreciated. To tell you the truth it sounds too good to be true what are the negetives to this job if any?
