You could post this over and over and I crack up every time. Too funny. I want to spend the summer with you....but...I'm allergic to cats.

Hi, I encourage younger grades to bring in a change of clothes at the beginning of the year. They don't. If any child has an accident I HIGHLY recommend the parent bring an extra set of clothes to school. At that point they are usually feeling bac...

I am looking to get into volunteering as an RN in a free clinic downtown but I have no clue how they are set up, run, or what the day in the life of a free clinic nurse is about. please help.

If you are an RN but want to go back for BSN, do you do extra clinicals? I would actually want to because I have been out of the work force for about 6years and could us the practice.

What is the difference between Agency, Home Health, and Private Duty nursing? They all seem to be about the same to me. However, I am new to these specialties. Thank you for taking the time to answer.

Thanks for all of the responses. I am not a case manager myself but am trying move my career in that direction. I just kept hearing complaints from posts and people and didn't know if I was making a mistake. I like to be busy and you all sound pre...

Wondering if anyone in the area has heard of, interview with, has information on working at PACE. PACE stands for Program of All inclusive Care for the Elderly. Is an amazing program that would be a great program to be apart of career wise. Just didn...

I was called today to interview as a nurse coordinator and then in the afternoon called by a different person (same facility and they know they are both talking to me) for a case manager job. Does anyone know the difference? It wasn't well explaine...

Play nice with case managers or is it always a push pull type of relationship. Do they respect case managers at all?

The difference between a nurse coordinator and a case manager? I have interviews by the same company for both of those positions and they did not explain it very well. Any help would be great.

Just wondering if there are nurses out there that actually like doing this job. I may be applying for one but seem to hear, read, more about the negative stuff and hardly anything rewarding about this career. Please help me understand. Would reall...

I live in Virginia. I was wondering why I felt so insulted by the salary. Now I know. Thanks you guys for confirming what was my instinct. If there are other people out there then I still would like to hear what you think.

I am in the same exact boat! Your situation almost exactly mirrors mine except that I had 6 months in the ICU. However, that is a few years ago. I would also appreciate anyone answering this post.

Thank you so much. I read these posts and get very nervous about this specialty when it seem to be all negative posts. I know this is a place to vent but just making sure there are people who enjoy it. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Here is the deal. I became a RN about 5 years ago after spending 12 years home with my kids. When I graduated I took a job as an ICU nurse. I learned so much. However, it was extremely stressful working in the ICU as a new nurse. I had to leave ...

Thanks so much for replying. I will look into those opportunities.

Do you get any kind of orientation when you go to a floor as an agency nurse? My biggest fear is to not know where everything is and needing more help then a regular staff nurse on that floor. Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
