What a great idea! I just googled flu shot clinic jobs today and filled out an app for one company; then I started thinking about all of the places I could market a flu shot clinic....there were quite a few. I cannot answer your question but I am goi...
Hi, I have read thru the entire post and can certainly sympathize with you. What no one mentioned is that the world of nursing is really very small, and even smaller once you get to an advanced degree such as NP. Your reputation is on the line and ha...

I do Nutrisystem and on my good days, I have a high protein breakfast before I leave for work. I pack almonds (unsalted), baby carrots, a protein bar, 100 cal bag of something (salty and sweet) in case I get the munchies while driving, a piece of fru...
Hi, I'm an RN, my mom is an LVN, and my sister started as an LVN, became a RN and is now finisihing up her BSN. My youngest daughter is graduating high school this year and wants to be a nurse. I am encouraging her to start out as a CNA, then go for ...
that's not too bad; it's actually more than I make doing home health. What company is this? As far as the commute, it depends on the area. Will you be a case manager? I see 5-6 pt's a day.
