2. Time between graduation & NP job

   luv2yoga replied to luv2yoga's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Thx for suggestions. There are no RNs at this practice office as far as I can see. I really don't want to go back to the place where I've worked as an RN -- it's really gone downhill -- I think I will...

8. Info on Austin State Hospital

   luv2yoga replied to luv2yoga's topic in Texas Nursing

   That's exactly the info I was looking for. Actually, I would prefer to work part-time so it sounds like I'll be able to do that. And maybe even day shift! That's great news.

    Thanks for those posts. That gives me lots of ideas. I just got a special gig at the Psych hospital doing all their wound care, so I'll be able to put that on my resume too. I hope I'll be able to...

11. The "woes" of 12 hr. Shifts

    luv2yoga replied to thegreenmile's topic in General Nursing

    luv2yoga replied to AllAngelsRN's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Once you get your sizes straight, I would recommend ordering online from AllHeart.com. They have a HUGE selection and some great sales. I have gotten tops -- stylish ones -- for less than $10. And...

15. What do I say to rude patients?

    luv2yoga replied to floatRN's topic in General Nursing

    It amazes me how unrealistic some patients are about how much attention they should receive. We are not their personal assistants, sent there to hold their hand and listen for an hour about how tough...
