Hi all! I'm very interested in the holistic side of health but am not sure what career options are out there for me if I pursue the holistic nursing track. Can I be a travel nurse? How does holistic nursing differ from the traditional hospital nur...

What do these two people do?! Assuming they work 12 hour shifts, that's 24 hrs a week for each. That's 1248 hours a year (assuming they work 24 hours EVERY week of the year). That's slightly more than $80 an hour for each. Is this true?!

Thank you both for your replies! They are very helpful. Mandolyn, where could I get certification as a holistic nutritionist?

Agnus, thank you. Thank you for your words of encouragement. They really mean something to me. On this dreary day here in Tennessee, I actually found the sunshine through your post. I will keep my mind going. I know that of which I'm capable, an...

Agnus, your words seem very wise, and I take them with a smile on my face (and no offense). Thank you for your thoughts. Yes, I probably do seem like a raging extremist, I will admit that. I think that comes from just discovering things. It's lik...

I don't condemn medicine as a whole. I condemn those synthesized, unnatural medicines, which do physical harm to the patient in one way or another. Keep the baby and throw out the bath water. I didn't mean for that last post of mine to sound degra...

Hey everyone. I just wanted to pop in and get a few things off my mind and onto "paper." I'm getting so discouraged in nursing school. All I hear about is "this drug does this, and this drug does that" and "let's do calculations because it's very ...

This is interesting. I would also like to know the answers to your questions. Maybe someone will reply who really knows.

I am wanting to move to Cali after I graduate with my BSN. I would really like to know of some well respected and highly recommended hospitals around the San Francisco area and also around the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. I don't mind a 30 ...

Thank you very much for your response! Let me clarify for anyone that when I wrote "traditional hospital nurse," it was in NO way meant as a slight against anyone and/or his/her profession. Agnus, I'm very interested in what you have written, but c...

I attend East Tennessee State University. I am a second semester junior getting ready to begin clinicals. I like it, but I can't wait to go to CALI!!

So...since we address doctors by "doctor" because of their doctorate degrees....hmm...i think it's only fair to address advanced practice nurses (and all other nurses who've gone on to get their master's degrees) by their degree level! I think MAS...

I know a girl named Candace Allison, and I thought that was really pretty. If I ever have a girl, I will name her Cali (don't have the middle name yet), and if I ever have a boy, I will name him Xavier Seth.

Hi everyone! I just received my letter today for acceptance into our Honors program. This means I have to (for the next four semesters) work on research (among other obligations). If I know of a topic I'd like to research, I can tell the director ...

Although the director hasn't addressed the topic, I'm going to step out on a limb and say it needs to be clinical; however, I actually have no idea. All I was told concerning the topic was that I needed to pick one. I'm sorry for the lack of inform...

My fiance and I are still in nursing school, but we have been searching various options for when we graduate and get a few years experience under our belts. We get excited at the mention of "travel nurse" and even get on here and read together so we...

As I sort through these threads, I read a lot about "stipends," and "see what the company pays for," and "you can make much more money per hour if you don't let them pay for housing." I also read a lot about this and that being taxable. I'm complet...

This is wonderful news! Thank you all for your input. Keep the posts coming as I'm new to all this and am trying to piece the terminology and policies together. I know you all can help! The comments are wonderful!

Hello everyone! Thanks for reading this; hopefully you all can offer some advice. When my fiance and I graduate nursing school, we want to move from Tennessee to California (SoCal, maybe Huntington Beach). I'm confused as to how to go about getting...

Ok...I just thought of another question, (after thinking how ridiculous it was to take 2 points off my final grade in a class for missing a video day in lab, which caused me to go from an A to a B...I've called the Dean and made an appointment with a...

I will not cease to thank you all, so I must say that first. THANK YOU! I was reading on another thread about "working registry." What exactly does that mean? Reading the context made it sound like by working registry, I would get to try out many ...

:icon_hug: Thank you all so very much for your encouraging and helpful advice! I know this will be a huge, though thrilling, time in my life, so when it comes, I want all the preparation I can gather. Taking a week to fly to CA to do several inter...
