  1. Food Loaf

    military spouse replied to texascowgirl's topic in Correctional

    I work corrections in Maryland and have never heard of the food loaf. However, it sounds down right

  2. Insulin drips on the floor!

    military spouse replied to jackieRN03's topic in Cardiac

    I worked a med/surg unit where we had insulin drips. They could be challenging, particularly if the pt required stat labs in addition to the frequent fingersticks. Management's logic was that a pt....

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

    Thanks for the info! $10 per hour is ridiculous! I have a friend in El Paso, Tx who in an LPN making $50,000 per year!

  4. Shift differential?

    military spouse replied to career180's topic in General Nursing

    This is an abbreviated version of our shift diff (it's actually much more complicated): Weekday evening and nights 15%, weekend evenings and nights 30%. Last job I had only paid $1.65 for

  5. Problems with eczema

    military spouse replied to LadyBug2007's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I have eczema on the outer portion of my ears. I find that if I keep it well lubricated with vaseline, I can make it through the day. I must keep reapplying the vaseline frequently. Prior to...

  6. Huntsville

    military spouse posted a topic in Alabama Nursing

    Can anyone give me an idea of wages in Huntsville for an RN with 11 years' experience? How are staffing ratios and working conditions? Are you happy? What surrounding citites are nice? Any help is...

  7. Are LVN's Hired in Correctional Facilities?

    military spouse replied to audiharvi's topic in Correctional

    Hi, I work for CMS in MD and they seem to always be looking for LPNs. Many of the LPNs seem to leave very quickly after starting because they dislike working in the pharmacy. Good

  8. Hate Arizona, want to move, any advice?

    military spouse replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi! I have no advice, but wanted to say that I understand. We lived in Sierra Vista, AZ, which wasn't too family friendly, and moved to PA and live in the friendliest neighborhood. We have an 8...

  9. Arrghh!!

    military spouse replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Congrats on going to nursing school! I've been a nurse for over ten years and we moved very frequently and I've found that acronyms vary based on regional locations. This is our first time living in...

  10. Huntsville

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

    Hello, Thanks for the replies (this one and the one for Boaz). We are trying to evaluate all aspects to moving AGAIN. I've never been to Huntsville, but we've heard wonderful things about it. We...

  11. To LPN over the summer or not?

    military spouse replied to oldcop's topic in General Nursing

    If you can go to school for just a few months and then take LPN boards, I would absolutely do it if you think you might want to work while in school. I worked my second year, 8-16 hours per week, and...

  12. To LPN over the summer or not?

    military spouse replied to oldcop's topic in General Nursing

    Please make sure that it is an LPN program and not something else. I can't imagine an LPN program being completed over the summer. Typically, they are one year in length. I originally atteneded an...

  13. My manager says I can get a second job, but...

    military spouse replied to control's topic in General Nursing

    That makes sense! I thought maybe they were trying to dictate how you can spend your free-time, which seems irrelevant. I would just state the fact that you are requesting permission to seek...

  14. My manager says I can get a second job, but...

    military spouse replied to control's topic in General Nursing

    You have to get permission to work a job on your off-time? I would probably write something to the effect of "I request the permission of ___________ to spend my off-duty hours doing the following...

  15. Help! Acls Class

    military spouse replied to mandrews's topic in General Nursing

    That is horrible. My class WAS NOT like that at all. Now I'm paranoid about renewal (moved across the

  16. Seeking advice on rotating shifts

    military spouse replied to MrRN2006's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't do it, but if you must............. I would give serious consideration to the job that allows self-scheduling. That could make a real

  17. RN Jobs, Salary Scales etc in East Coast

    military spouse replied to MannyNoela's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I live in PA, but work in MD. One job is $24/hr and the other is $26.56/hr. I was making $31.50/hr in AZ before we moved here. Atleast in this part of MD, the wages are horrible! I'm sure the...

  18. 7 months in and rather sad

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

    It may be possible that the one-year requirement is the minimum amount of time one must spend on the floor before requesting a transfer. It sounds as if your friend was an outside applicant. My last...

  19. US Nurse working in Germany?

    military spouse replied to MarcusKspn's topic in International Nursing

    Depending upon where in Germany you would like to work, you might consider the military route. There is a large hospital in Landstuhl, several small hospitals, many clinics, and Department of Defense...

  20. Nurse's Aid acting as a Nurse

    military spouse replied to jalvino1's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I could get more CNAs to actually ambulate the patients. Some day I just can't get to it and a competent CNA would be a blessing. That said, she needs to be careful to not misrepresent...

  21. Help! Acls Class

    military spouse replied to mandrews's topic in General Nursing

    I attended ACLS as a med/surg nurse, almost didn't d/t being so scared of failing, and passed. Study the book's questions and any practice test you are given. The practical portion was very user...

  22. Tell us what makes your DFW city so great!

    military spouse posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hello, I was hoping all of those that live in the DFW metro area can share what makes their city great-i.e., lower taxes, good public or private schools, decent utilities, etc. I'm guessing there...

  23. Tell us what makes your DFW city so great!

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

    Absolutely amazing! How does one find a deal like that? Would getting in a new home be better or an existing home. I am so frugal and living in PA is killing me. It is beautiful, but very...

  24. Tell us what makes your DFW city so great!

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

    When I worked for Hospice, we received half our hourly wage. When I worked at the hospital, it was
