I am hoping to relocate to the Charlotte area (Union County in particular) and am hoping to "travel"to get a feel for the area. My kids are 3, 5, and 7. Any advice on how to do this while my husband stays in NY to sell the house and keep health insur...

If there is anyone who can share with me the name of their recruiter at OA or maybe someone else AWESOME with another AWESOME company, with contracts in North Carolina, I would gladly use you as a referral... PM me please?!

Kris, I'm with you! I am in NY and am also a NICU nurse. I have 11 yrs experiece, make $40+ an hour, and still can't wait to get out! We are headed to the Charlotte area and hoping for the best. There is more to life than the paycheck, believe me! G...

I am currently taking my 5th class at Uof P online. I like it a lot, I just wish it wasn't so expensive. If I keep on track I will be done a year from now... if not that's okay too!

:balloons: :balloons: How wonderful for you! Good luck on the boards an keep us posted!

Jim, i have a question for you. My hospital encourages us to use UoP yet only offers $1500 /year P/T or $3,000 F/T. Obviously this doesn;t cover a class every 5 weeks. Any breaks for those of us that work at these hospitals that work with you? Feel...

Hmmmmmmmm I am currently enrolled in UoP online and am tired of paying $1243 for a 3 credit course not including fees or books. I wonder if I could transfer my credits at this point? I'm only 5 classes into this. Anyone know?

Hello all! I am hoping to pick some brains in this group. I am currently a staff nurse in a Neonatal ICU with about 10 yrs experience. I am looking for a little more flexibility than 12 hour niights can bring me and interested in home visits. I onl...

Just remember we have all been there! If you are unsure of something PLEASE ask someone!!! You are not expected to know it all at anytime in your career, but especially now. Take advantage of the time you have now to ask and learn. When you get to ...

Hey! Had my interview on Thursday. It went well. they offer $65 for a first visit and $60 for any other visits. It is mostly peds, newborn and OB. As soon as I get my physical and paper work together I plan on giving it a shot. I only wish they ha...

Thanks for all the good advice. I really want to do this right. I don't know anyone out here on Long Island doing this, so I don't even know which agencies to "trust". Thanks to this board I am getting quite an education! BTW, my dh is Tom and he c...

What equipment did you all bring with you to start? I am anticipting a large out of pocket expense to get started, no? A special bag, bp cuff, scissors of several types, different stethescopes, some reference maerial.... anything else? Thanks again!...

I too am "attending" UoP online. I'm taking my 3rd class now and love it! It is sooooo much work and very demanding, but the perks are great. School at any time that is convenient for me (usually after my 2, 4 and 6 year old are in bed) and meeting p...

Thanks!!!Do you use a specific type of bag? In NY no company ever supplies anything!!! :)

Bump this one! It needs to be read again!

Congratulations on your graduation. I am just looking into home care myself for a lot of the same reasons you are. There is some great advice on that board. check it out and good luck!!!

Thanks for asking! I have my interview on Thursday so I'll let you know then....

Oh wicked cool!!! I used to go to camp in Peabody. (Peabuddy) when I was a kid!

I happen to be in Suffolk but you are encouraging me to leave NY that's for sure!!!! I honestly can't believe there are places out there like you describe! wow

:smiley_aa Okay, I need to know where in NY this kind of palace exists!!! I have been an RN in NICU here for 10 years and haven't been so lucky.... yet! But choices are limited on Long Island.

I am interviewing this week for the HH position. I a so happy to hear they were looking for peds and NICU experience. Hoping to get visits and short shifts still. Any of you able to do just that? Thanks for all the info on this board! Kathy

Love this thread!!! Please any info on the best area to go with 3 small children (2,4, and 6) and 10+ years NICU experience?
