    military spouse replied to military spouse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I really haven't looked too hard. Hubby is trying to figure out if he should stay at this job or do something else or maybe nothing at

  2. Yuma seasonal position (next winter)

    military spouse replied to military spouse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi, Actually hubby retired about 1.5 years ago. Believe it or not, I'm not a huge fan of the commissary when we live close to a Super Walmart. Although, the commissary always had great prices on...

  3. CMS or hospital?

    military spouse posted a topic in Correctional

    Hello everyone, I had an interview and was offered a position with CMS. I really liked the mgt. team, but pay was $24--much lower than I was making. It sounds like an interesting job. For those of...

    military spouse replied to erkantarik's topic in Correctional

    Many people recommend that you don't work corrections as a new nurse. Where I work, we had a new nurse start shortly after I did and she has been wonderful. She really knows her stuff. She had...

    military spouse replied to Swanlake's topic in First Year After Licensure

  6. ethical dilemma....nurse lied.

    military spouse replied to snowflake123's topic in General Nursing

    I think you made a mistake by not being honest when questioned. You could have said (in front of preceptor) something like, "Oh, no, remember we couldn't get the belt on......" However, going back...

    military spouse replied to G-townLPN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. philadelphia detention center

    military spouse replied to erkantarik's topic in Correctional

    Hi, I wouldn't consider myself hired if they haven't discussed salary. Don't sell yourself short. I work corrections at a state prison (MD) and actually enjoy it. I'm probably safer at work than...

  10. Thinking of relocating...

    military spouse replied to PedsNurse322's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Oh, just wanted to add a couple of things. I never saw a scorpion in Tucson or Sierra Vista. When we lived in El Paso, TX we saw them IN OUR HOUSE fairly frequently. Also, if you can take a trip to...

  11. Thinking of relocating...

    military spouse replied to PedsNurse322's topic in Arizona Nursing

  15. Chambersburg Hospital in PA

    military spouse replied to Glrer21's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I interviewed there about a year ago. Depending on what floor/unit, they may not have CNAs. They are unionized and wages seemed fairly decent--I maxed out the experience and I think they offered...

    military spouse replied to military spouse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi, Thanks for the response!! Actually, they haven't offered me anything. I'm just beginning to consider the idea. I do know that we lived in Sierra Vista, AZ and I was making $31.50/hr, but that...

    military spouse replied to Imissthefall's topic in General Nursing

    military spouse replied to jill48's topic in General Nursing

    The best job I had was as a case manager with hospice. It was a nice mix of hands-on care, pt. teaching, and paperwork. Much of the paperwork could be done at home and I always appreciated that....

    military spouse replied to 12breakfree's topic in Alabama Nursing

  23. Weapons in prison

    military spouse replied to tootiefrute's topic in Correctional

    I must be incredibly dense!! I had to really think out the "marital aid" issue. Inmates will use anything. There are some days that I just have to sit there and think about what they are really...

    military spouse replied to NO1_2NV's topic in General Nursing

    That's awesome! I've often thought that I could do something like that as long as there was a Red Roof Cheapy Inn around. I think it is so neat that people can live where they want and then just go...
