  1. transgender nurse (transvestite)

    LilRedRN1973 replied to nursecathy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If he/she were competent, I would have no problem with who my nurse was, regardless of sexual orientation. But then again, I'm a tree-hugging liberal, according to my conservative war-monger husband!...

  2. Week 1 of 6-week Microbiology class...

    LilRedRN1973 replied to FutureArmyNurse's topic in General Students

    LilRedRN1973 replied to bashy's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Check out http://www.salary.com . You can check the pay and what you would need to make in each of those states to compare to where you are living now. I can tell you that Hawaii is very expensive...

  5. Trying to pick a city:Houston, Dallas, or Austin?

    LilRedRN1973 replied to nimbus2004's topic in Texas Nursing

    Houston has several GREAT hospitals. My grandfather was a surgeon at Hermann and it's a wonderful hospital. There is a great cancer center there. I grew up in Houston and I agree with the previous...

  7. Empoyers Who Request Credit Reports!!!

    LilRedRN1973 replied to Euskadi1946's topic in General Nursing

  8. Empoyers Who Request Credit Reports!!!

    LilRedRN1973 replied to Euskadi1946's topic in General Nursing

    I would have loved to have an option like COBRA, but being a waitress, that opportunity wasn't there for me. Restaurant work stinks in that they rarely ever cover their employees or make affordable...

  12. Empoyers Who Request Credit Reports!!!

    LilRedRN1973 replied to Euskadi1946's topic in General Nursing

    I don't consider what I did "screwing my creditors". The entire reason I filed bankruptcy was because the hospitals I was paying off decided they weren't getting enough per month so they turned it...

    LilRedRN1973 replied to Dixen81's topic in General Nursing

    It's beautiful where I live, but the cost of living is ridiculous. I live about 20 minutes from Lake Tahoe and I love it. We have four seasons (winter being my favorite), low humidity, gorgeous...
