It's now been set to every other weekend and I have insurance since my soon to be ex doesn't want to get insurance for the children.

I've also had my other friends offer as well. I've contemplated hiring someone to watch the kids.

I have found a preschool teacher from my church who offered to watch the kids during the weekend.

I recently became a single mother with two small children and one entering kindergarten. I have limited support from my friends and live near no family. I've been a stay at home mom for two years until now. My primary nursing experience has been the OR and PACU. Contemplating taking a weekend double job in Long Term Care facility or deciding on m-f job at hospital in PACU. What hours are the best option to give me time with my children and move forward in my career? Anyone out there working or worked weekend only job? How was it?

Yeah I live in a small to medium size town. My spouse and his family are from where we are now. All my extended family is elsewhere. We have house here and I have lived there couple years with two small children. I'm definitely the breadwinner in the house and was looking to become a NP. I know place I'm looking seems to have better schools, lower cost of living, tuition reimbursement, partial loan repayment and better salary.

Wear a t shirt and jeans after work tomorrow..it is Monday after all. Tonight cheese pizza sounds good;)

Would you relocate for a better job opportunity if salary is better and lower cost of living? Currently live in small town where career growth is very limited.

I was looking at Duke for the OR area. Sounds pretty good.

I'm needing insight as well. Hopefully we can get a local to respond

Okay..anyone? Someone :)

Hey all. I was looking to relocate to North Carolina and have interview with Duke University Hospital. I am not familiar with the hospital. How is the reputation, nurse environment, salary? Is it a good hospital and good to work for?

Yes we have two young children 3 and under.

I'm very worried that I will lose my job at any time and we will be in trouble. I'm trying to make my husband understand. I know he doesn't want to leave his hometown but there is no job opportunities here or anything in this small town.

I never looked into working from home to be honest. I've seen case management jobs but they always required experience in that area. No health insurance companies around here. I enjoy patient interactions and trying to be in facilities that would help my career advance. I'm more career oriented and was seeking to further my education. But am definitely have been looking for a job and fast. I never know what I'm walking into every day at current job.

Yes I have six years experience as RN. I've had job offers from all over except near the town we live in. Big university hospitals offering relocation, higher salary, good benefits and full time.

Yes I've applied to places even up to 2 hours away. No hits.

Well he graduated from nursing school but failed the NCLEX four times. I even paid for him to use Hurst review last time which helped me but he's been working in hospital as a tech not making much. I asked him about getting second job but says he can't because his current job he works PRN and takes call.

I'm in a dilemma. I moved to a smallish town and jobs are definitely not a plenty. There are only two small hospitals in town and only hiring for part time. I work in a clinic for only one month and half and in that time our Doctor got fired and new management company came in and questioning all of us employees and what we do and making comments that I cost more than the LPN that works with me. But the job I came from replaced me with two part timers. I have applied to places around this small town area with no job hits. But amazingly I hear from hospitals all over the country who are ready to give me a job. I am the main breadwinner in our family as my spouse works part time job at hospital. I know he is from here and we just bought a house almost two years ago and his family is here but the work situation has changed. None of my extended family is here but he doesn't want to move by them or anywhere. I don't know if I'm going to have a job tomorrow or not..not with business being bad and new management in there. Move for work or keep praying I'll get a job around here? I don't want to stay in this town and have two small children to support. Anyone gone through this with reluctant spouse? Or situation like this?

Hey all. I have interview coming up for CVOR position. I have 6 months main OR background with 5 years of pre op, pre admit testing, and PACU I/II experience. Will any of that experience help? Is CVOR a lot different than regular OR? What is CVOR like?

I was interested in moving to Atlanta area and had Emory St. Joseph interested in me. How is this hospital particularly in the cardiac department? Good reputation overall?

Hey all..update. Today the new management lady was micromanaging and asking questions about what me and the LPN do, definitely probing into our jobs..made a comment about how much money I'm costing the company and giving the LPN more of my job responsibilities...yeah my resume is handy.

Yeah they have had interim travel doctors filling in each week. But I don't know why that wouldn't count for NP to work under unless something else is going on. They've had new management group in the week dr got fired.

I just started job one month ago at dr office/cancer center and already issues. Couple weeks ago the main doctor who's been there a couple of years got fired. Police escort off premises and no word on why he left. I know they had new company come in to help manage but we have had rotating doctors every week. Today I find out the Nurse Practitioner said she's quitting and only will tell me that she has to work under a doctor for license but don't the travel interim doctors count? It's scary I just started this job and seems like craziness is happening. They tell us they don't plan to close practice but this stuff is crazy. The pts have had time adjusting to all this too. Im just praying I'm not going to be out of job I just joined. I'm sad too because I love the NP I've been working with.

Problem is there is no one to delegate to..it is expected for me to do.

I just started this new job a week and a half ago and feeling overwhelmed. I've been surgical nurse in hospital for 6 years and went to work in oncology office. I like the patients and the oncology aspect. At this office they have only one nurse and have me doing authorizations, ordering all the tests, getting results on all the tests, calling all the pts on their tests, doing the doctors orders, ordering supplies for office, helping the doctor in the rooms, and doing the charts. I have been working 5 10-12hr days and feel like not enough time in the day to do everything. Again I've always worked in busy areas and multitasked but feel overwhelmed. Don't know if I feel like this is because I'm new to this area of nursing office and oncology nursing or if this is too much.
