I am living in the Cherokee Nation and hopefully will be working with IHS soon. I have been thinking of learning the Cherokee language, does anyone know how difficult of a language it is to learn.

Just got signed up. I haven't been on much recently, but really enjoyed the card exchange last year and got on just to check for it.... Thanks to all for this

I just got the final piece of information needed to go to work for IHS. It was a letter from my Tribe. I live in the Cherokee Nation, but am Choctaw myself, so had to have a letter from them. Anyway, I am very excited about the prospect of working...

As you can tell by the date, it has been awhile since I started this post. I have been busy with orientation and getting used to the job. I absolutely love this job. It has been an interesting change from my previous jobs. The most exciting thin...

Jo......I think I brought you guys a patient yesterday....lol I loved working with you, but all your shifts are full, so, let me know when you need help. I love my new job, hope it stays this way. I enjoyed your introduction post. Many good idea...

I accepted the job with IHS yesterday. I am so excited and plan to go into this job with the best attitude, to make the most of the experience. Thank you all for your support.

I am still waiting to hear from IHS, but continue to be positive.

Thunderwolf.......thank you for your words. I am very excited as I start this new road in my life. I currently work at the hospital that does all the cardiac work-ups for the Native Americans in this area. It is astonishing to see the amount of un...

The monitor tech where I work plays on the computer all night, so not sure why he can't do the orders also.

Howdy Everyone Sounds like everyone is doing good, especially with the holidays just behind us. Officially weigh in in two weeks, but according to the scales at work I have lost another five pounds.....which I'll take right now Meditation is wonderfu...

I used traveling to relocate to Colorado from Oklahoma. I took the money for housing and found my own apartment, that way I could keep it after the assignment was over. I renewed my contract four times before going permanent at that particular hosp...

I work 12 hour night shifts, four days a week, and I drink coffee from the moment I wake up until I get off work and it doesn't affect my sleeping.....I usually sleep six hours during the day, eight if I am sleeping at night. I absolutely love my c...

Back when I became a Nurse the salary wasn't all that good and there was no shortage, either. We were scrambling for jobs when I got out of school. However, I do appreciate the salary and the security being a nurse gives me.

There are lots of times I wish no one knew I was a nurse. Especially my Mother. I don't mind answering her questions, but she gets friends on three way and asks me questions for them. As far as an illness like you speak of.......my nephew was in...

I am also in an area that experiences bad weather and has horrible roads, but we are also not allowed to use PTO for bad weather. Our hospital will send an ambulance out to get us. Which is fine for me, as long as I am not driving. The flip side f...

Howdy, again.... Still having trouble logging on, so not here much. I have now lost 20 pounds since finding out I am diabetic. I keep thinking if I put more effort into it, what kind of weight loss I could have, but figure this is better anyway........

Siri, I am trying to make a sheet that shows how the more popular medications affect HR, B/P, SVR, CO/CI, etc......dealing mostly with CABG patients........any suggestions to get some info would be greatly appreciated.

My Mother is losing weight on a weekly basis from taking hoodia, it really didn't start helping until the second month she was on it. She has not changed anything except to take the hoodia. I didn't like it, and didnt' stay on it long enough to see ...

After 14 years of night shift work I can say that I am glad I chose nursing. It pays well enough that I was able to raise my children by myself, it provides me with plenty of time off. When I do think about leaving it is not the nursing part, it i...

Hey Everyone, Hope everyone is doing well. Its been awhile, again, since I logged in. Was having trouble logging in and then I've been busy trying for a job with IHS which is a slow and tedious process, but I think I am done. I have been trying to ...

Zoe.......Howdy, I figured out I had diabetes because of neuropathy in my feet........took me a week of two before I figured out why my feet were burning. The dieting is harder, because it is a little more than just cutting back or watching what I ...

Hey Everyone, Long Time No See....... I have been going through some tough times with my health and am now doing an 1800 cal diet, exercise, and meditation. Diagnosed with diabetes approx. three months ago and have really struggled with changes. It...

I am in a position to apply for the director of cardiac services, but before I talk to managment about this, I wondered if someone could tell me what this most likely would entail besides making the schedule? Thanks

I understand where you are coming from....when I enrolled in Nsg school my mom told me I was not smart enough and my mom-in-law told me I was setting myself up for failure........so I enrolled and studied with other students. I have been an RN for 1...

Zoe........lol..no, meant quilt....can't believe I did that I cannot wait to start this job, everyone seems nice. DH will be working there also as a cook... Having a cook out tomorrow, cause will be last weekend off for awhile, going to work weekend...
