Just got to Indiana and low and behold they have something I never knew existed, medication aides. Does anyone have a list of all the states that have medication aides? As a new travel nurse I'd like to know which other states have these, so I can ...

It takes several months to find your flow, just like it did when you were a new nurse with that very first job. Case managment is a totally different mind-set. I understand your concern about the doc's "hating" you, but really, you have to ask those ...

I had a lot of psych questions, and I'm an old state hospital psych nurse, so that really helped, along with my recent experience doing acute care hospital case management. As far as text, I used Case Managers Study Guide by Fattorusso. Seems like VE...

I passed! Yeah

I took the test yesterday. Not nearly what I expected. Will find out in 2-4 weeks if I passed.

I'm currently looking for a psych travel position. I've been in touch with the company I traveled with before for psych because they seem to have more positions than most other agencies. Problem is that they weren't that great before, and already see...

Thanks for the info, I'll check them out.:balloons:

Supplemental Health Care is great for psych nurses wanting to travel. Any problems or questions are handled very well. Honest, friendly staff all around.:loveya:

Thanks for the replies. Indiana, Kentucky, New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Ohio, Maine, Rhode Island and Florida. If anyone knows of any others please post them. Thanks again.

Yes, for 7 days

Going rate in this area is $85-125

Have one on my ankle. When my co-worker's at my new job saw it they were like... UGH! I'd NEVER do that, I'd never have a tattoo. Most were my age or younger. And no my tattoo is not scary or anything.

Merrell's for me.

At question 74 I was saying...come on, just one more question, pleeeeze, just one more, and click. It was over.

Anywhere from 2 to 11 patient per night, one other RN with an equal load, and either an LPN or CNA to help. Telemetry/surg step-down floor.

Talk about nursing judgement and critical thinking in action. LORI YOU ROCK!!!!

I feel for you. I got written up my third day on the job as a new RN. I didn't list the doctor's first name on the consent form. My preceptor said oops, I thought you knew how to fill that out. It's a learning experience for sure! bet I never fo...

I learned a more crude one, Starts out white on the right with clouds (white) over grass (green). The doggie "goes" in the middle (brown), and smoke (black) over fire (red),

New grads get floated from our tele/sug step-down floor to the ICU and to emergency department. UGH!!! IT IS AWEFUL and scarey to say the least. Still trying to figure out basic floor nursing and getting floated to those speciality areas makes us ...

I gained 60 lbs during nursing school, sure I had a TVH/BSO a month before I started nursing school, so that probably helped too... I've been working for a month and I've dropped 10 lbs, and seem to be still loosing without any real effort. YEAH:rol...

Scissors, $1.10 for a soda when I get a chance, 10cc packaged syringe of normal saline flush, alcohol wipes, three ink pens.

My mouth fell open when I read your post. It was as if I had written it!!! Spooky! I just graduated in May, already passed the NCLEX and started to work as an RN on a surgical telemetry step-down unit. I'd said all along that I was going to keep ...

Merrell. Only shoe I'd wear. I started out with a pair of nurse mates and they killed my feet. Merrell's aren't cheap but it's worth it as much as you are on you feet.

I dropped it twice. Decided to get my bachelor's degee in health science, the math pre-req for it is finite math, which I already passed with an "A". I just couldn't get my brain around statistics, even though I'd never had any problems with Algebr...
