  1. Moving to Texas- New RN Grad DFW or Austin???

    military spouse replied to luvnursing-2's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks for the response! We're currently paying $160-200 per month for all utilities, which really surprised me. We moved to PA from AZ and payed much more in AZ. I was really impressed by the Fort...

  2. Moving to Texas- New RN Grad DFW or Austin???

    military spouse replied to luvnursing-2's topic in Texas Nursing

    Can anyone share their average utility bills for things such as electric, H2O, sewer, gas, etc.? We think about moving out there all the time (almost did over the summer, but ended up in PA). Thank...

  3. Self Scheduling: Help me prove the nay-sayers wrong.

    military spouse replied to moonshadeau's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, My post above did not show the way I had intended. Imagine people's desired days represented by "A" to be spread across the month's

  4. Self Scheduling: Help me prove the nay-sayers wrong.

    military spouse replied to moonshadeau's topic in General Nursing

    I should add that the way we completed the blank schedule gave no indication of which nurse had completed the desired days early in the self-scheduling process. Jan 1 2 3 4 5 6...

  5. Self Scheduling: Help me prove the nay-sayers wrong.

    military spouse replied to moonshadeau's topic in General Nursing

    I just came from a 50 bed med/surg unit. We worked only 12 hour shifts (unless they were desperate). People were generally hired for nights and then put their name on a list to move to days. Nurses...

  6. Correctional Nursing Salary

    military spouse replied to NurseNikki5's topic in Correctional

    Your post is sooo true. I just started in corrections a few months ago and can't believe the laziness of SOME nurses and the number of nurses that are only there to get attention from both the inmates...

  9. Arizona, California, Texas?

    military spouse replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I LOVE Bob Brinker. The other great financial radio program I enjoy is heard on Christian radio stations or can listen directly on crown.org. I could spend all my free time listening to those great...

  10. Arizona, California, Texas?

    military spouse replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's insaine! We actually have the annual income listed with our only debt being our current house and a $374 payment on a motorcycle and if we were to sell this house, keeping the $374 payment...

  11. Arizona, California, Texas?

    military spouse replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You are probably more of an exception. I can only speak for O.C., San Francisco, and Grass Valley where one can't touch a house for $300,000. I would actually consider moving back if I could get a...

  12. Arizona, California, Texas?

    military spouse replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I understand what you're saying, but we have benefitted from increased real estate prices. We purchased a house in AZ for $188,000 and sold 8 months later for almost $100,000 more. When I left my...

  13. Arizona, California, Texas?

    military spouse replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    My sister just bought a nondescript, 50 year-old rancher in Orange County for $545,000. Hospitals would have to pay a whole lot more than $6-7 per hour. Of course, I've already lived there so there...

  14. Arizona, California, Texas?

    military spouse replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    We came VERY close to buying a house in Keller for $170,000 and the property taxes were over $4000 per year. That being said, we pay more than that is state, local, and property taxes here in PA. I...

  15. Arizona, California, Texas?

    military spouse replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hello, I grew up in Orange County, CA and my family still lives there. Housing cost,including rents, are outrageous! We can't afford to go back. We lived in Sierra Vista, AZ and it was reasonable...

  16. LVNs in El Paso?

    military spouse replied to Josifek's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi, I'm an RN that used to live in El Paso. There is a strong nursing shortage, probably more for RNs than LPNs. However, I believe ANY nursing home in El Paso is looking for LPNs. I have a friend...

  17. Pay difference?

    military spouse replied to FuturoEnfermera's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It really varies.......My best friend in El Paso, TX is currently making $25 per hour (LPN). I'm an RN in PA making $24 per hour. Of course, that $25/hr is highly unusual

  18. Why do I have trouble saying no????

    military spouse replied to RN-TO-BE's topic in General Nursing

    If she is hesitant to "trade days" or "change her schedule for anyone", I would make a trade now even if it is in a week or two. I almost always trade (to my advantage) and if someone isn't willing,...

  19. Sick of working short

    military spouse replied to kristi-lpn2's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Just moved from AZ, where LPNs could assess, but an RN had to perform assessments once every 24 hours. So, basically, an LPN could have that pt for a shift then we automatically switched to an RN...

  20. Anyone in Enterprise or Dothan area?

    military spouse replied to militaryspouse98's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Depending on where he will be working at Rucker, you might consider Brentwood neighborhood in Dothan. It sounds just like what you are looking for. Well- built homes that are a bit older and a...

  22. Anyone in Enterprise or Dothan area?

    military spouse replied to militaryspouse98's topic in Alabama Nursing

    That's funny--we were stationed at Bragg, went to Germany, then Rucker, then Bliss, then Huachuca. Now he retired (November) and we moved to PA. I also noticed that housing went up. What was...

  23. Anyone in Enterprise or Dothan area?

    military spouse replied to militaryspouse98's topic in Alabama Nursing

    No, actually I got it in NC when he was stationed at Ft. Bragg. In Germany, I worked for awhile as a school nurse, but resigned because he had to go to school in the US for about 4 months...

  24. Anyone in Enterprise or Dothan area?

    military spouse replied to militaryspouse98's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Hi Amy! That's great! We were in Schweinfurt. There are times that we really miss living there and travelling, but the deployments.........I guess I should say that I lived in Germany and my husband...

    military spouse replied to militaryspouse98's topic in Alabama Nursing
