Dear Sky, I am terribly sorry about your loss. It is very very hard to lose a child in death. I can't even imagine it. I do not think you brought this on yourself as you say. I think it was all a...
I forgot to mention that I met a sweet RN who was attending massage school. She was middle-aged and said that nursing was becoming hard on her back, plus she enjoyed giving people massages and...
Hi Molly. Of course that is provided that you pass your board exam, and you're taking it in NY? So take your NY license to the NM Board of Nursing once you pass your board exam and fill out an...
By the way, I forgot to add that I know a nurse who now owns a pet shop that seems to specialize in selling little fish, and another one who owns a specialty shoe store. She sells some NICE nursing...

Dear Sky, I knew a nurse who went on to become a doctor and she was not only a very helpful physician, but a very humanitarian at that! I also had a friend in nursing school who decided to go to...
There are many great things about Agency work. I get to set my own days and hours and am not on nights either. Thank God. I couldn't handle it with my 17 month old child! If he is awake half the...
I forgot to post that my cousin was an RN for just 6 months. She could not take it anymore and had been working at a local hospital. A lot of job stress and coming home crying kind of stuff. She was...
Vossy, I think that New York and Florida are also states which do not require the CGFNS exam. Check into it. The California nurses license is a bit involved and EXPENSIVE. You have to submit...

Hi! I went through this in 2001 as I was expecting my son. He was born on May 31, 2002 and I had the ppd for TB in early November, so it was in the first trimester. I looked into this seriously before...
Dear Molly, The board of nursing in Albuquerque will give you your license the same day that you go in and apply for it. They will give you a receipt, and that is your license until they send you...
Dear Soy, Just bear in mind that you let them know what you need and where you legally stand and that you desire green card sponsorship. I know countless individuals who have gotten employment...
Dear Soy, I do know something about it. I am a nurse-paralegal and try my best to keep up with current immigration law. If you go to one of those international nursing agencies, you will just be...
I have heard that taking vitamin B6 can relieve nausea in pregnancy to a great degree. Better to give it a try before you try phenergan, dramamine or anything like that. Vitamin B6 is a water-soluable...

Yes, check with your state board. Call them from a pay phone and ask a general question of whether you can obtain nursing licensure in your home state with a felony record and do not give them your...
I agree with the above. I would personally opt for evenings at home with my kids to spend more quality time with them and learn to get to sleep at night again, which it's hard to do in the beginning,...
