HeavensNurse

Many nurses come to hospice after similar experiences. Don't forget that you can be an advocate for hospice from ANY environment. Even when I went to Telephonic Triage and Disease Management for a period of time I STILL shared hospice and told peop...

SPOT ON! I have been with THOUSANDS of people who are near death or have died in my presence. It is an honor and I have been blessed to be working with them for 23 plus years. I am one of the few have become a nurse FOR hospice purposes. Keep tak...

HeavensNurse - I became a nurse for Hospice, and Hospice is my heart and soul... I take care of those who are Heaven bound. My alternate name was SmileIL - as I always have a smile on my face (and I used to live in IL!). I've been told both apply ...

You did a GREAT job listening to what your patient's NEEDS were. I have worked hospice for about 20 years and helping someone at the end of their life with closure is very important. It is sad when families turn a deaf ear to their loved one's need...

I am truly SHOCKED that the VA would not have any benefits.... I hope they change that. Afterall, in today's society WHO CAN LIVE WITHOUT health insurance? SHEESH!

I'd also love to hear more, if anyone finds out any details. I know the program is still up and running. I met an RN over the winter who was going for it, but I have lost touch with her. I hear their benefits are awesome!!! PLEASE KEEP US UP TO D...

It's an excellent IDEA! Do your homework. You have enough time. I hope you have a specialty they are looking for, ICU, ER, Surgery, Tele... As LTC/Hospice it has been hard, but I've been OK. Good Luck, and most of all, ENJOY!!!!

Rod, trying to find work up in the NE, and pull out of FL by May 10, but that is subject to change. Keep us posted! :)

BlueHeaven, give yourself a break. You are getting ahead, and I have to share with you the reason I gave when I went to therapy for the first time. "why are you here", my reply "I do not want to make the same mistakes my parents made". My therapis...

Ariko, You have your finger on the pulse, my man. Have you married a nurse? If not, I am really REALLY surprized, no matter what your sexual orientation. I have known many many cross dressers, many many nurses who are from dysfunctional families a...

I'm still in. I will be in FL until May 10th. Congrats on the renewal! Hope all is well. Kim

Rod, Keep us posted. :)

Robin, It is on the bay & yes it is smaller... We needed access to the trolley as we only had one car & no bike. Your pics worked and look great! :) Kim

Fort Myers is AWESOME in April. Groves would be good or I am staying at San Carlos RV Resort in Fort Myers Beach. Smaller, but on water. Wonderful people! 1 mile over the bridge to the beach and wonderful restaurants and fishing. Phone # here to...

I am in Fort Myers Beach area until May 10. Rally would be awesome! Let me know what I could do to assist. Kim

Sissy, let me know when you get to Orlando. I am less than 3 hours away, in Fort Myers Beach and would love to meet up!.... I could not get a Travel Assignment, but did well contracting locally until May 2009. I love where we are staying. No SNOW...

GoLytely, Everyone, is entitled to their opion. I simply encourage you to keep your mind open. Some very good nurses have seen things they cannot explain, unlike you who seem to have an answer or explanation for everything. I have never EVER tried...

GoLytely, I'm sorry to disagree, but you are out of touch, BIGTIME. I have been a hospice nurse for 15+ years and no matter what you think, do not EVER underestimate what a patient is going through at the time they are going to pass onto the other s...

JoyJoy you did great! I used to work nights, and might be right back at it soon. Just started the fulltimer thing 2 months ago, and have totally gotten into the swing of it. 12 states covered thus far. Will land in Fort Myers later today for "the...

very cool indeed!

Too Funny!

Good One!

How awesome! ENJOY THE WEDDING!!!! You will bring her father's spirit to the occasion. Tears will be flowing, that is for sure. I certainly hope you accepted. God Bless!

:nurse:Hello! And HELP!!! I am living fulltime in my 38 foot Class A (only one month), have left my fulltime job. Am on my way to FL (Fort Myers area) for the winter (December 15-April 15) and so far no Travel Nursing assignments! Any ideas? I ne...

You were right where you were supposed to be at precisely the right moment. Amazine how God guides us! Keep doing what you do. You are truly a blessing to your patients and their families. God bless you!
