Been an R.N. for 22+ years, am 56 yrs old. In June 2014, had a motorcycle accident with a pretty severe tri-malleolar fx w/syndesmotic injury. It put me down, NWB for 12 weeks. When released by the surgeon to RTW, (after begging her) my employer di...

Mmm..mmm... Just sayin, Medical terminology is "not" understood by patients, visitors and laymen, but we medical personnel use it all day long.

I've been an R.N. for 25yrs. I got out in 2014 due to "burnout", all at my own doing pretty much. I was very curious & excited with my new autonomy, so I wasn't about to be "stuck" in one job the rest of my days, there were way too many opportuni...

Hi Emergent RN, I hear ya, I do miss the free entertainment that's for sure, patients always blindside you with the "element of surprise" no matter how many things you've seen or heard. Thank you for your support and encouragement to jump back in a...

@llg Thats exactly part of "who I've been". The Risk Taker. Never doscile. Not letting the grass grow under my feet too long. Single and Self-Governing. Mind and body are telling me it's likely time to stop and smell the roses instead of vaulti...

@NurseBeth Thanks so much Nurse Beth. In a way I do regret my zealous nature and thirst for knowledge/experiences back then, as it has landed me in a hard place for retirement years. The excitement of those experiences have NOT paid off in the l...

OC_An Khe, thanks for caring. I've been a travel nurse. I don't meet requirements any longer. You must have experience in the field in the past 2 yrs that you apply to or TN recruiters don't even consider you. I've been a School Nurse for the pas...

Who's your employer Libby?

Fellow nurses...the outpouring of responses warms my heart, thank you all for your support. That is the precious beauty of "allnurses". I've done everything from ICU, MH, Occupational Nursing, Home Health, Hospice, Consulting, OR, Travel and more. ...

A totally new concept that I've come across is at www.glaglausa.com. Feather weight, breathable, like wearing nothing at all! But I found that placing an insole inside is best for me...try em' ladies!

Anyone have any experience with this program? Read some reviews and so sure. Considered U. of Phoenix but happened to like the fact the U of J has video taped instructor lectures in their course. Almost like sitting in the classroom really, but at...

My profile was submitted yesterday and this will be my first assignment:yeah:if everything goes the way I hope. I'm an ANCC Psych Nurse. After coming back to this site after not visiting for a bit, I'm sort of perplexed about leaving a job of 11yrs...

]I certainly understand, I make way less than you do and recently made a futile error because I placed value on the wrong things. I was offered FT at my per diem job, $3/hr more, some great bennies, better hours and a 10 minute commute. Unfortunate...

Oh, by the way TravelBug, I've submitted an app for licensing to USVI last month as well. Wishing you the best.

I too, have just signed my very first contract. I'm a Psych Specialist and got my first job in Corrections in N.C. I've been exploring travel for years and finally took the leap. I arrived by car last Sat. I enjoyed the journey here and have been...

Inpt psych: "you trailer park trash piece of ****!" Then spit in my face and bared her biggggg butttttt.

I just read a study in which they revealed that each interruption consumes approximately 9 min, and another 5 min for the person interrupted to get back on track with the task at hand. Wow.....that's 15 min per incident! So by having 4 interruption...
