I am doing some work determining hospice coverage and I've run into a situation that I am unsure of. Hospice is not one of my specialties and I could use some input. So here is a brief situation: A patient is placed on hospice for end stage cardiac...

Try as I might, I have been unable to secure a position working on a medical surgical unit. I do however have experience working as a nurse in the Emergency Department. When filling out applications that ask whether you have medical surgical experi...

I was told all through nursing school that every good nurse should have atleast one year of medical surgical nursing under their belt before starting into a specialty. The issue I run into now is that because the jobs are slim and almost every new g...

On top of being a Registered Nurse I am also a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist. I worked in a sleep lab for four years during which time I performed sleep studies and scored sleep studies. I can tell you from my experience working in the s...

First of all $21.80 and hour if working full time is more than $40,000 per year not less than $30,000.00 and it is certainly possible to purchase a home, food, and clothing. My family of five managed to do so on far less than that prior to my gradua...

I have lived in Utah my entire life and I am responding to your post. I do not believe in any way shape or form that Utahns accept lower nursing salaries because it is "women's work." A statement like that is based on stereotypes and cultural igno...

I am not a military mom and I am not a single mom at this juncture either, but I do work full tima, raise 3 children ages 10, 7, and 4, and go to school full time. I am no longer single, but I was a single mom to these children for a time. My answe...

I am sorry but unless this was a military hospital you were jipped. I did not have anywhere near the experience you had (as far as sleep deprivation) I chose to breastfeed all three of my sons, but I still opted to have them go to the nursery at nig...

Okay so I am still a student and nowhere near ready to go for my N-Clex, but I agree with everyone else here as well. Do not give up. I do however think it is a great idea for you to move from retail to healthcare while you are preparing for your n...

Hi there. I am a nursing student in Utah rather then a practicing nurse, but I can give you some reassurances in regards to moving to Utah as a new graduate nurse. There are several large healthcare employers in Utah that offer New graduate opportu...

Goodness gracious! I hope I didnt offend anyone. I am absolutely pleased with the kind words of advice and encouragement. Everyone is so great. Even when the advice doesnt fit my situation. I am entirely grateful. Thanks to everyone.

This is my first post to these boards and I do apologize for the length. I have an aboslutely wonderful friend of eight years. He and I both went through divorces during those eight years. His was some six years ago and mine was about three years bac...

This question was posed quite some time ago so I don't know if anyone is still following this thread, but I thought I would give a little bit of input. I am a nursing student who currently works as a polysomnographic technician in a sleep lab. Slee...

I do truly appreciate the advice that you kind folks have tried to give to me, but I do think some of y'all misinterperated my involvement in my childrens lives. I did state that my husband has picked up a huge amount of my childrens care and that h...

Thanks to all of you for your help, encouragement, and advice. I took the opportunity to speak to my sweet husband again about how I was feeling, how he was feeling, how the kids are handling things, and ofcourse the possibility of me returning to s...
