  1. My Recent Trip To Florida

    Here goes... I graduated nursing school in Florida and have worked at both Florida Hospital and ORMC. I really enjoyed both hospitals, however, I would have to say that my preference is Florida...
  2. Proof There's No Nursing Shortage: Show RN's the MONEY

    Interesting article. I am one of those non-working RNs that would consider working if the price was right - and I'm in my early 30s. However, to pay for full time child care for 3 kids only to make...
  3. Graduation Speech HELP PLEASE!!

    I would imagine it would be appropriate to reflect on the school year and what graduation means to you all. It is a honor to be asked to speak. You should thank the faculty for a great course....
  4. Has anyone gone to school with a new baby?

    You can do it. You'll need to get a good grasp on time management, mulitasking and organizational skills. I am back in school for my RN to BSN with two semesters left to go. I have a 4 1/2 boy, 3 yo...
  5. Help, Info to lecture high school kids on nursing

    Great points. I would add that nursing has something for everyone... if you enjoy math - then you would like to work with dosage calculations if you enjoy kids - pediatrics or school nursing babies -...
  6. Family Style Meals Head Start!!

    I would imagine that if you went to the director complaining about the family style meal - you wouldn't like what they have to say. Many early child care centers teach family style meals. Part of...
  7. 60% sure I'm having a GIRL!!!

    Jennifer, I wish I could tell you that the sweet little life inside you is a girl. We'll know for sure in just a few months. Good
  8. Onlind distance midwifery programs

    I think Ohio State University has one as well. I could be way off. I'm pretty new around this site, but you may be able to use that nursing education tab up at the right hand corner of your screen...
  9. Delayed entry after admission?

    Just another perspective here, I've talked to quite a few nurses that apply and get accepted into graduate school only to have to defer their start date for a semester or two. Of course, this is in...
  10. Nursing student question...confused.

    I agree with working towards your BSN. However, if you are planning to work while in nursing school (or even up until getting into nursing school) than sure, why not work doing something in the...
  11. Tattooed Nurse?

    I'd keep them covered during the interview. Not for reasons of 'hiding' them. But for reasons of being professional - you want to draw attention to the fact that you are the right person for the...
  12. Is this legal?

    I would compair the job description to the scope of practice in your state that you are licensed in. Then I would find out who reviews your articles, or who you report to. I would have to say that if...
  13. work in Alaska

    Hi there, I am significantly south of both of those locations, but still in beautiful Alaska. I, too, am a military spouse. As a military family, you will not qualify for the PFD - the 'free money'...
  14. Tips for looking more professional

    I've been wearing that make-up for a few years, too. The initial investment is costly - but it lasts forever and looks fabulous. I don't look 'made up' but I do look put
  15. Husbands or S/O's at routine exam

    Glad it went well. I got here too late to chime in. The family practice doc I work for would often look at the hubby and say 'I need to be here' pointing to the stool at the foot of the bed 'where...
  16. Do you wear rings to work?

    When I am at work, I do like to have my wedding band on. It does not protrude (no big diamonds here!). However, as I look down at my hands now, I don't have any rings on. I run and bike a lot and I...
  17. Southeast Alaska...here I come!!! Tell me what I should do?

    Have a great trip. Seeing the glaciers are
  18. If you had your time over again >>>

    Absolutely. I, too, love being a nurse. My 3 year old wants to be a nurse or a pony rider wearing pink - depending on her
  19. Driving to Alaska

    Everyone driving through Alaska should purchase a copy of The Milepost. It is the Alaska driving Bible of sorts. We love ours. I have not been a staff nurse at Prov Anchorage - I live too far south....
  20. Tips for looking more professional

    I think it's possible to look and feel comfortable and relaxed, but also confident and put together. Jeans and T-shirts should have a place in your wardrobe if that's what you like. Nice cut jeans...
  21. Going to an interview as a rural OB nurse, have QUESTIONS!!

    I live in a rural area. Anything that gets complicated gets flown off the island immeadiately. I am unsure about your background - do you have a strong OB background? I would ask about orientation...
  22. Anyone else out on the Slope?

    Yes, Kodiak is beautiful. Lots of sunshine today. Sooner74, I've only been to Seward once - to get on the Rusty Tusty to Kodiak. It was a really neat visit, hoping to stop in again on the way out...
  23. Applying for jobs long distance

    I have a military husband -so I am always applying for positions that are multiple time zones away. Usually I contact HR and ask about the preference for my resume (fax, electronic resume on hospital...
